KtEIGHT MEN EXPLAIN HOW RATES VARY.

Hearing Before Railway and Ware­house Commission Develops Why Roads Get More for Short Hauls than Long Ones—Witnesses Believe Company's Stand Justified by Con­ditions.

That freight ra tes from Minneapolis west are proportionally much higher than from Chicago to the twin cities was an admission secured from two witnesses today at the commodity-rate hearing before the s ta te railroad com­mission, in response to questions by Royal A. Stone, assistant a t torney gen­eral

The witnesses were J . T. Conley of

r i A l l f l h Is not a patent medicine bat a V v l i y i l doctor's prescription. Bestcure ^ * . - M B B ^ for cough, cold, croup, whoop-v V r U D ing-cough, bronchitis, grippe or __JV-« _ - throat and lung troubles. 25a F R E E *AW:?I«.E mention this paper. ,_ Addre** Am C Mejrer & Co., Baltimore, Md.

Minneapolis, northwestern general freight agent of the Milwaukee road, and G. I . Sweeney, assistant general freight agent of the Great Northern. Both gave little evidence of importance to the s t a t e ' s side of the case. Tho they admitted tha t rates are higher from the twin fitiee west than from Chicago to the twins, they both main­tained tha t existing conditions made this difference "just.

Mr. Conley was the first examined. He was asked as to the relation of spe­cial-commodity rates to classification rates. Substantially all the commodi­ties carrying special tariffs have ra tes also under classifications, he stated. He thought commodity rates, except on coal, grain and lumber, might be elimi­nated with advantage.

Explains the Charges.

Mr Conley said the North-Western has the short line from Minneapolis to Chicago, 412 miles.

" W h a t should be the pioportionate relation, Mr. Conley, on say a 112-mile haul out of Minneapolis west, com­pared with the same distance on the Chicago h a u l ? "

" I think i t would be h igher ." -"Assuming the rate on a carload of

salt west from Minneapolis is twice as high as from Chicago to Minneapolis. Would such a condition be fair to your m i n d ? "

" T h e ra tes between Minneapolis and Chicago are governed largely by the bulk of traffic and competition wi th other roads. I maintain the present adjustment of tariffs from Chieago to Minneapolis, and Minneapolis west, is fair, and justifiable by condi t ions . "

Mr. Stone then called a t tent ion to an actual shipment of a car of apples Oct. 12 last. From Oxford, Mich., to Chicago, 327 miles, the cost was $43.40* Chicago to Minneapolis. 420 miles.

$36.40; Minneapolis to Morris, 156 miles, $56. The car contained 175 bar­rels weighing 28,000 pounds. Could the witness see how, comparatively, the Minneapolis to Morris charge was fair?

Rate Is Special. " T h a t shipment was governed by a

special commodity ra te into the twin c i t i e s , " said Mr. Conley. " T h e ton­nage was large. From the twins to Morris i t went a t a class rate . The cheaper rates into the twin cities en­able the dealers to get the apples into the market , the point of concentration, on a reasonable basis. I do not think the rates compared are u n f a i r . "

Continuing his explanation of the specific case mentioned, Mr. Conley said:

" M y recollection is, there is a thru commodity rate on apples to the twin cities from Michigan and New York, where the apples are raised. This ra te , if lower than the class rate from the twin cities west, enables a dealer, say at Ortonville, to get the apples cheaper than if they came from the east to the twin cities by a classified and higher r a t e . ' '

" I s not the rate on the la t ter par t of such shipments arbi t rar i ly h i g h e r ? " ^ " I contend, considering everything, Ihe ra tes as they are. are not u n f a i r . "

Commissioner I r a B. Mills asked a question.

Basis Is Relative. " I s there any reason why there

should be a lowpr rate from the apple country to Minneapolis, than to Wino­na, Rochester and other points in south­eastern Minnesota?

" T h e rates on apples are on a rela­t ive basis with the twin cities. These points mentioned carry no higher ra les The ra tes are made on the theory of distr ibut ing c e n t e r s . " „ Cr. I . Sweene3'. assi&tantet"general

freight agent of the Great Northern, was the second witness He was first asked as to grain ra tes ; what was the recent reduction in grain rates? Ten per cent. Why was the reduction fixed at 10 per cent? The witness did not know. He s ta ted bis company took ear-load freight in preference to less than carload freight, when there was oppor­tun i ty for a choice.

Would Get Both.

" W h i c h is the preferable class of traffic; livestock or g r a i n ? "

" I n a choice between a carload of grain and one of livestock. I" cannot say which I ' d take . I t would depend on conditions. I would t ry to get them b o t h . "

Mr. Sweeney was <hen shown the waybill on the shipment of apples on which Mr. Conley had been questioned. The witness was non-eommittal. He re­fused to say he crnsidered the ra te in par t or whole unreasonable. He called at tention, however, to the fact t ha t the severe weather on the western end of the route would call for higher cost because of the increased risk,-

NOVEMBER WEATHER WAS ABNORMALLY WET

GOES BACK TO MISSOURI

Man Accused of Big Fur Thefts Must Return.

Governor J . A. Johnson today hon­ored requisition for the removal of Ollie Deads, under arrest in St. Paul , to Jackson county, Missouri, where he is wanted for burglary. The goods taken were a handsome lot of furs, pa r t of which the St. Pau l police have already recovered. The loot included eight seal­skin coats worth $2,500, an ot ter coat valued a t $225, a squirrel coat worth $250, and six boas worth $300. The pusoner is to be turned over to Sheriff F . A. Wilson of Jackson county, Mia' souri.

Official confirmation of the suspicion tha t the month of November was wet and cloudy is given by the summary of the month issued fiom the local weather observatory today. According to the official scoresheet twenty-two days of the month were cloudy. Of the remaining eight three were par t ly cloudy. Only five of the th i r ty days of the month were clear. Moreover, the total rainfall of the month, 2.52 inches, was 1,32 inches in excess of the average precipitation for the month for the last seventeen years. This rain fell on nine days of the month.

Rain is where the month came up strong. Only two Novembers in the seventeen-year period covered by the local records beat it . They were No­vember, 1896, wi th 3.8 inches, and No­vember, 1905, with 3.07 inches. This weather is in keeping with tha t of. the entire year, which now shows an ac­cumulated excess of precipitation above the average of the seventeen-year pe­riod of 5.81 inches.

The month held slightly above the

average in mean temperature. The mean for seventeen years is 32 degrees, the mean for the last month is 33.6. The absolute minimum for November in seventeen years is —13 degrees, the minimum temperature of the last month was 10 degrees on the 20th. The max­

imum in the same period is 73 degrees, the maximum for the last month was 65 degrees on the 6th.

West winds of an average hourly velocity of 12.1 miles prevailed thru the month. The maximum velocity was 35 miles an hour.
