Pendergast is Siartling This Community with Contracts for Raising Sugar Beets. F. M. Pendergast is meeting with farmers in this cnmmunity to raise sugar beets. It now seems a cer- tainty that enough growers will be secured and enough acres contracted for to raise the required number of beets. Mr. Pendergast says there should be very few farmers in this section of the state that ought not to devote an acre or two at least for this pur- an experiment. Farmers in other states are mak- ing sugar beets one of the foremost reason why northern Minnesota cannot make this product a leader in this section.

YOUNG GIRL STRANGLED FOUND DEAD IN SHED Body of Six Year Old Girl Is Found in Vacant Shed in Chicago. Chicago, April 18.—Six-year-old Alfreda Doverlska, daughter of a baker, was found dead today in a shed two doors from her home, the finger prints of a strangler on the child’s throat. At her side the police found a little bag of candy. Penny in hand, Alfreda went to a neighboring store Thursday evening. She purchased the cent’s worth of sweets and that was the last seen of her alive. The police conducted a search, ‘but without result. Paul Sellendinger, ten years, playing hide and seek with companions, hid in the vacant shed. He lay down merrily in the darkness, but touched the corpse and ran shrieking from the place. The police were notified, and the lifeless burden removed - to the Doverlska home. Evidence was found showing that that the child probably had been held a prisoner somewhere for twenty-four hours, tortured, strangled and her lifeless body placed in the barn. Three suspects were arrested a couple of hours after the body was found. They were taken from a saloon at Milwaukee avenue to the Rawson street station to be ques- tioned.

WORRIED ABOUT RAILROAD BILL Presidents of Western Lines Confer at Chicago. FEAR EFEECT OF MEASURE Amendment Removing All Exccpflon’l to Long and Short Haul Clause of the Interstate Commerce Act Causes a Cry of Alarm—Rail Carriers De- clare They Are Compelled to Cut Rates Where Water Competition Is in Existence. Chicago, April 18.—A note of alarm 1 was sounded by Western railroad pres- idents regarding the proposed amend- ment to the commerce act removing all exceptions to the ‘long and short haul clause of the law. The conference of Western presi- dents was called with a view to dis- cussing the situation and determining whether or not anything ceuld be done to prevent the passage of the pro- posed amendment. The sole measure that could be thought of was to send a lobby to Washingten to try to show congress the folly of such a move. Owing to the fact that the administra- tion and the people have decreed that t almost P rallroads should Keép out of politice and cease lobbying the Western pres- idents concluded there was nothing they could do in the matter. Meeting “with the presidents were several general counsel of the rail- roads, who stated that the supreme court : Frequently Has Recognized the fact that it is impossible and un- commercial to enforce the long and short haul clause when water compe- tition enters into the case. The inter- state commerce commission repeated- ly has recognized the potency of wa- ter competition in governing the long and short haul clause, its most recent recognition having been in the Spo- kane rate case. The clause referred to prohibits railroads from charging more for a short haul than for a long haul, but all transcontinental rates are built upon the infraction of this rule. The railroads were compelled to make rates to all the territory west of the Rocky mountains much lower than they would were it not for the water transportation. . Likewise the region about the Twin Cities {s fa- | vored with lower freight rates than !territorles equally distant from New York, but which do not have the ben- efit of transportation a portion of the distance on the Great Lakes.
