fix charges to Fargo, N. D., from
points along the upper Mississippi
river just south of the Minnesota

fled today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

other North Dakota points. including
jamestown and Wahpeton and adjoin,
ing territory in Minnesota.
To Submit Other Schedules
The Iowa territory rates involved.
included points grouped by railroad
rate makers. with Burlington. Iowa.
and the schedules were necessitated
by recent decision Of the commits
sion which held that Fargo was en-
titled to better adjustment of gen.
cral class freight rates. In declaring
the railroad proposal Us to the Bur-
lington group adjustment was unsat-
isfactory. the commission ordered the
roads to submit another set Of schc-
dulles. The maximum charges be-
tween Fargo and the Burlington
group in the contemplated recon-
structcd schedule must be $l.5l for
class one freight, with proportionatc
decreases downward through a scale
until class + freight is given a figure
of q cents Il hundred pounds.
In considering the rate to Fargo
on traffic originating in the east. that
portion Of the rate applying from the

lington group may not be. the COM

"Strescmann, in his speeches, mere

the premier continued.
Mussolini asserted that Italians
would interpret his phrase in regard
to the Brennero Pass as meaning that
Italy would never endure violations

that DR.. Stresemann had not denied

The premier declared it was i'm
possible to compare the question of
the Italian minority in Jugo Slavia
with that Of the German minority in
the Upper Adigc territory.
1T is hardly necessary he added,
Ito repeat that our policy in upper

BRANDING OF
CAT'TLESTILL
DONE IN STATE
!.
1000 Brands Recorded in Of
flee of Agriculture, Labor
Commissioner

Cattle branding, method of
identifying separate herds adopted
when the western plains were over
run by wild horses and cattle, still is
practiced on a big scale in North
Dakota, said l.. A. Winter, chief de-
putty in the office Of j. A. Kitchen,
state commissioner of agriculture
and labor.
Approximately 1000 different COM
binations, prepared since cattle
branding was first required by state
law in 1890, are on file in the COM
missi0ner's office. And 10 of these
have been registered since the first
Of the year.
The brands were re-recOrded under
. law passed in 1914. The earliest
brands on record, showing those US
ed by "Ranchman" Theodore Roose-
welt, were filed October II, 1890,
shortly after North Dakota was ad-
mitted to the union. Roosevelt's
brands were the Maltese Cross, Elk
horn and the triangle. These were
the names of his three ranches.
For Convenience
Most Of the registrations coming
in now are for thel convenience of
farmers who desire to have their
stock run 1T large from time to time,
said Mr.. Winter. Inquiries have be-
come so numerous that Commissioner
Kitchen recently prepared a pamph-
let for the guidance Of stockmen.
Inquiries about brands now come
from all parts of the state but in
the early territorial days the ideal
"cow country" Of the northwest, says
the commissioners pamphlet, lay in
that strip Of land along the Little
Missouri river. Thousands Of Sec
tions that were fruitless for ordinary
farming were paradise for lanch-
ing.
