The Pati | is Me by carriers show that the valuation of the roads for taxation in the state is much higher, than the valuation taken for rate-making purposes.

He asserted North Dakota today has zs low grain rate per ton mile as any state in the west. ‘The commissioner’s order also pro- vides that the minimum charge of $15.00 now applicable to certain car- load shipments, be continued, and that a minimum charge of 50 cents for each less than carload shipment be sontinued. A resolution, adopted by the Com- mercial club of Grand Forks, on Aug. 23, protesting against the method which the railroad commission used to increase the state freight rates; was received in Bismarck today. The resolution says that the intent of the maximum freight rate act was to correct the disparities existing be- tween the rates within North Dakota ind within Minnesota and South Da- kota, and further that “it hereby does express itself as being in hearty co- operation with any effort or move- ment to provide and maintain ade- quate and proper transportation fa- cilities for the state of North Dakota. but that it do also and it hereby does, protest against th: granting of any increase which does not put into ef- fect the intent and purpose of the said legislature, or which does not ad- just. and correct the prejudicial dis- sriminations and disparities now ex- isting in said rates, as compared to South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and other prairie states, or which, wil! cause the people. of North Dakota to dear a heavier proportional burden ‘of Notice to the Public pa Lasken’s Cash Grocery has changed hands and is now called Service Gro- cery: »Prices» as» low: : as. possible.

Monterey, Mexico, Aug. 26.—General | Jesus Guajardo, who treachcrousiy tricked and slew the wily rebel lead- er, Emiliano Zapata, himself fell 2 victim of deception when he was cap- j tured by government troops and exe- cuted here July 18 last. The tale of his latest and last adventure is thus told here: Thirteen months ago Guajardo, a colonel in Carranza’s army, attacked # detachment ‘of his own faction’s troops, killed and wounded several.of them and convincea Zapata that he had a new adherent. Then, as ‘Zapata, greeted him in salute, he had ordered his men to fire on Zapata and the noted rebel chief was blown out of his saddle dead. Turned Ag: To reward this act, Curranza made the double dealer « general, and a little over a year later he turned up- on his benefacton,aygl, joined the suc- cessful revolution ‘of Obregon and de la Huerta. Sore) After many misgivings they accept- ed him as a general in’ the, new army, and gave him the command of a brig- ade and he started for Torreon on a campaign, against Villa. While en- roupte he stopped his trains, assem- bled his regimental ‘commanders and explained that he had resolved “not to cognize” the de la Huerta regime any longer but, to go into the field for the newest revolution and join Ozuna, Ricardo Gonzales and the oth- ers fighting to the eastward around Monterey. But several colonels, his chief of staff and nalf his command deserted him. Finally Guajardo abandoned the trains and started to march for the mountaiys of Neufo Leon. Soon he learnedAhat Amaro, leaving the chase of Villa for the time, was on his track and that the risings’ around onterey had been failures. The rem- nant of his command melted away un- der the attacks of government troops until there remained only one faith- ful colgnel and an orderly.
