BRIEF FILED AGAINST
RATE LIFT PROPOSAL
Durant Urges Interstate Com.
merce Commission to Re.
view Facts Carefully

Grand Forks, N. D., June 29.-F)-
Exceptions to arguments for increased
grain rates in the northwest, pre-.
sentcd to the interstate commerce
commission by the carriers. are con-
tanned in q brief filed with the fed
eral body today by T. A. Durant.
traffic commissioner for Greater
Grand Forks. The brief also Is
signed by H. A. Bronson as attorney
for Northwestern interests, and N. E.
williams. Fargo traffic commissioner.
Grouped together in the case, which
is a part Of the general, case involving
freight rates throughout the entire
country, r the North Dakota Ter
minal association, its producers.
handlers and shippers Of grain, the
North Dakota terminal exchange. and
the North Dakota grain rate COM
mittee.
The brief contends that the heavy
grain carrying roads In the north
west have favorable earnings and
make q better showing than railroads
operating in territory where low pro-
portional rates apply and where the
federal commission is told they must
not disturb the proportional state adj
justment of these carriers.
# a further burden is placed on
northwestern farmers by increasing
grain freight rates without bringing
up the rates in what is described as
''sinkhole territory" the northwestern
farmer will not receive a square deal,
the brief said.
The brief contends that the record
in the case proves conclusively that
northwest rates arc too high but we
respectfully request that before
changes are made in the rate struc-
ture in the Northwest. the commits
sion give full consideration to all
facts and not be satisfied with arriv-
ing at q scale which would be proper
for the southwest and wish that scale
upon the northwest" for the sake Of
uniformity. Such action, they said.
would have drastic effects in this
territory.

CITY'S IMPROVEMENT SINCE BIG
FIRE IN 1898 PLEASES FAMED SON
G. A. Hughes, Inventor Of EIec.
trica| Stove, Visiting His
Brother, E. A. Hughes
SAW CORNERSTONE LAYING
Draws Picture Of Henry Willard
and German Investors Who
Built Railroad Here

A ma who watched and helped
Bismarck grow from the driving of
the golden spike on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, and the laying of the
cornerstone of the capitol, until the
present. That is G. A. Hughes OF Chi
cago. head of the Edison Electrical
Appliance company, which has fac
tories all over the world. and who
stopped In Bismarck today to visit
his brother, E. A. Hughes.
Bismarck has changed more than
the people who have remained in the
city realize" Mr.. Hughes said this
morning at the Prince hotel. X re-
member the time. before the fire Of
Aug. 9, 1893, when the old Whitney
variety theatre stood IN this very site.
Il was working in st. Paul at the
time Of the big fire, but I happened
to be In Bismarck. That was q hot
night.
Another thing I remember wildly
was the selection of the site Of the
present capitol building. I accom-
panied my father and the governor
all over the south end of town is they
looked over desirable locations. For
a time they considered that rise of
ground on Sixth street, where the
street Is cut through, but decided 1t
was too near the city. They did not
want it all surrounded by business
houses. That will indicate the am
bilious ideas they had in those days.
What a remarkable picture there
was at the time of the laying of the
cornerstone! ! wish I had a picture
of it. General Grant was there, and
Sitting Bull, and Rain lin the Face,
and others Of importance, all lined
up In a TOW.
Henry Willard and his trainload Of
German investors In his railroad was
another thing that comes to my
mind. Willard built the Northern Pa
cific with German money, largely, and
he thought it would be a fine idea to
get these investors out here and show
them what they had built.
Almost Wrecked Plans
TT had the opposite effect. They
saw M farms, no houses, no profits.
They were ready to sell out, and al
most wrecked Wizards plans"
Mr.. Hughes was at one time a re-
porter on The Bismarck Tribune, and
later became city editor. He recalled
that at the time of the Custer mas
sacrc Col. Lounsberry, the editor Of
The Tribune, sent a bulletin over the
wires east with a query as to the
needs of the eastern papers. Many OF
the papers threw the bulletin in the
wastebasket, thinking it was q hoax,
but the New York Herald leased the
only wire coming to Bismarck and
scooped the world on the story.
Mr.. Hughes is on his way to Chi
cago after attending electrical con-
ventions in Washington and Califor-
mia, and will leave Bismarck tonight.
He is accompanied by his wife and his
granddaughter, Miss Mary Jane Call,
who, as we'll as her mother, was born
in this city.

ALMA, Nebr., September 23.-John
r. Bartells, weary and footsore
from his travels, has returned to this
community to see the grave in which
he was supposedly buried 10 years ago,
and to gain admission to a Masonic
home.
One Of his "pallbearers." J. G.
THOMPSON went with him to the ceme-
terry to inspec the grave and the head
stone on which IS this inscription, John
F. Bartells, 1856 1907"
BartellS, once a member of the Ma
sonic Lodge here, arrived Thursday and
met Thompson. The latter said, What
are you doing here? This must be res
direction morn, for helped bury you
20 years ago."
II came to see my grave and get a
picture of the marker" the wanderer
replied, solemnly. Then he told his
story.
The family came here in 1877, later
moving to Neosho, Mo. He left after
a quarrel with his wife. In 1908 she had
him declared legally dead, as he had not
been heard from since his departure
in 1901. His estate was probated.
Then, in 1909, Mrs. Bartells identified
as her husband a man found dead in
Illinois. The man was buried here.
Bartells returned to Neosho in 1912,
after living many years in Chicago and
Baltimore His aStonished wife re-
fused to take him back. She got di-
