NORTH DAKOTA AND COAST RATES

The campaign in North Dakota, in which participation
OF commercial bodies is being sought against the railroads
contention concerning rates to the Pacific Coast hardly
justified by examination of the situation Briefly the
railroads must meet competition of going vessels
using the Panama canal and carrying freight to the Pacific
Coast Under the present situation the railroads not
permitted to place into effect competitive rates. which will
enable middle western cities such St. Paul. Minneapolis
and Kansas City, to compete with Atlantic Seaboard cities
'sng the water route freight to the west coast The
is lost to these middle cities and the freight
is lost to the railroads.
middle western cities to the Pacific Coast which would be
less poportonae than rates from those cities to points
east OF the Pacific Coast In other words lower rate for
the longer haul than for the shorter haul This is objected
to IN some quarters in North Dakota the ground that it
would operate against this state
The railroads point out however, that thew must make
profit in order to develop their lines in all sections If the
Northern Pacific enabled to meet Panama Canal
petition and lower rates through shipments Pacific
C2as 1t would make smaller profit these shipments
than on many Others but nevertheless would make profit
II not permitted to meet the competition it loses the
business altogether At the present time, according to
President Charles Donne of the Northern Pacific the
railroad has plans for improvements totang $500O0OO
which would include the socaed Kdeer extension North
Dakota Unless it can operate at profit cannot make
these extensions, and the middle western territory loses
The people of the Northwest have direct interest in the
development of the railroad lines in this section They ought
to take broad view of the situation and be ready the
railroads when they faced by situation in which the
interest of the railroads the that people
served by them

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT, TO SYDNEY

You know he learned to walk
after Leslie left for her fathers
house, and Nora was so anxious to
show him off that she placed him
on the floor. He was so eager to
reach his mother that his little legs
doubled up and he fell sprawling.
You could hear his yell block.
Leslie and l both made a>dive to
pick him up, and our heads bumped
together with such crack that she
was almost knocked off her feet,
and the kid cried harder than ever.

Hamilton, found blood running

You see, Leslie had dolled up her
bobbed head with a circle comb
surmounted by a wreath of flow
ers and it had cut my head, and for
"a moment l was sure it had en-
tered my eye. That Immediately
cleared the air and | was awfully
glad it had been done, for l thought
we wouldn't have to have any ex-
plantations. l just pulled Leslie
down to me and into my kiss went
a lot of my suspicious and unhap-
piness; indeed, there was almost
all of my wounded pride.

my passionate kiss. She grew
limp III my arm-she had tainted.
l do not think was ever so fright
ened in my life. l though she was
dying. Poor little Jack was taken
away protesting with all his
might. Mother Hamilton and l
quickly got Leslie to bed, and she
went for the doctor.
Leslie did not quite recover con-
seriousness until the next morning,
then when her eyes opened and
found mine looking into them, such
q radiant look came into her face.
She pulled my head down close to
her lips and WHISPERED to me that

cannot tell you how terribly
felt. 1t seemed to- me Leslie would
never forgive me if by any happen
stance her baby would be a boy
and she would feel that my child
by another woman bore his fathers
name and all the honor that would
come to an eldest son.
Some Of the CONSERVATION I felt
must have shown in my face, for
with trembling lips she asked:
"Oh, Jack, aren't you glad?"
| looked at her in surprise, then
l realized what big woman she
was. | don't believe she had even
thought of little Jack as anything
but her own, own son. For just
at that moment the baby came
nearer the door, we heard his lit
tie wobbly steps and his fearful
voice saying: II want my Muvver,
il want my Muvver!"
For moment, Sid, my heart
stood still. 1t seemed to me the
fight had begun. Here was one
boy calling ~ want my Muvver!"
and the other child as yet inartic-
ulate. But in my heart, and 1
know in Leslie's, was the feeling
that he would come into the world
with the same battle cry.
Over Leslie's face passed the
most beautiful smile l have ever
seen; it made it Madonna-like in
its soft beauty. Her arms went
out as though she could not wait
to clasp the boy she had not borne
put the boy who was absolutely
locked within her heart.
"Open the door, Jack, and let
my son in! He shall have his
Muvver, now and always as long
as he and she are alive"

"Too bad! Too bad!" said the

one of the golden trees laughed
mockingly. "Ha, ha, ha! Ho, no,
no! Please excuse me while

ha! Ho, no ho!"
"Who are you and what's SO

"Why don't you come down where
we can see you and let US laugh
too?"
ooh, no! l couldn't do that"
said the voice. "I'm invisible be-
cause l have the invisible cloak on

"Who are you?" cried the Dream

"Iminy Jimmy" cried Nick
quickly, remembering the charm

"Not SO fast! Not so quick!"
said Tweekanose. ut won't do you
any good to say charms any more.
The sleepy sand is under the cloak,
too. No charm can move it. That's
why you didn't find it on Venus.
"On Venus!" cried Nancy and
Nick. "Were you there, too?"

Somers Point, has started a cleanup
drive which is expected to meet with
hearty approval On the part of citi-
zens.
For years, ever since the city hall at
New Jersey avenue and Main street
has been built, the lot in the rear on
New Jersey avenue, which belongs to
the city, has presented an unsightly
appearance. The mayor will, at his
own expense, spade the ground up and
beauty it.
The lot will be planted with shrub
berry and grass seed. Later, 1t is
planned, when the various tools and
machinery needed to keep the city's
streets and highways in repair are
purchased. the lot will be, to a certain
extent, used for buildings to house the
new machines.
