GOMPLAINS THAT RATES ARE NOT SATISFAGTORY| Charles S. Carter Wants Equitable Rates for Shippers Who Handle Timber Products. Dealers in cordwood and other timber products who live along the line of the M. & I. raiiway are objecting to the rates given them by the M. & I. company for the ship- ment of timber products other than logs, and a meeting will be held in Bemidji on Thursday, January 27, for the purpose of discussing means of remedying the discrimination that is claimed to exist, according to Charles S. Carter of Hines, who was a visttor in Bemidji today. Talking of the rates charged on timber productions, Mr. Carter says: “I have been investigating the rates charged on cordwood, shipped out, and the rates are not just, when compared with the rates charged foi hauling logs. The M. & I. company hauls logs at the rate of $1.25 thousand feet, from Blackduck and Hines, which would be about $7.50 per car of logs. The charge made fot hauling a car of cordwood is about $20. What we want is a better rate for the cordwood—a more equitable rate. “We should be given a joint rate in connection with the Great North- ern and Soo railways, which would enable us to ship our wood to other markets at a rate that would make the wood business worth while. “These shipping rates are not right or just, and I propose that a meeting be held in Bemidii on Thursday, January 27, when all shippers of timber commodities can be given a chance to be heard on this vital matter.” Donald Childs of Bena was a business visitor in Bemidji Saturday. *SGHOOL BOARD ISSUES A GIRGULAR TO THE PUBLIC Law Relative to ‘‘Kids” Using Tobacco, Frequenting Pool Rooms and Bowling Alleys.
