PAGE SIX PETITIONS ON SENT TO ROADS LIGNITE RATE Pour Into Headquarters From All Parts of State, Ac- cording to Word Here \ ASK WITHDRAWAL Want Railroads to Recall Their Advanced Rate’ on Lignite Coal Petitions bearing more than 7, natures of coat consumers in Min- nesvia, South Dakota and North Da kota, asking thé railroads tu with- iraw the new tariff, have been for arded to W. PB. Kenney, vice pr t of the Great Northern Ry., ew diworth, vice presi dent of the Northern Pacific Ry., St Paul, and FR. Newman, general aver of the Soo line, Min- learned today. They ious part f the state have been circulated 1 clubs and in- tates who are | interested in retaining present } nite freight rates. Additional p ne ' trafic 1 tions are in circulation and it is ex pected that protests will be made to | the railroads by some 000 cqal consumers through this method. The plea of the petitioners follow fl “We, the undersigned, residing in ritory served by your road and de- | ding for economic fuel upon the protest. to your railroad | the proposed increase in | freight rates on lignite, on the fol- lowing grounds: | 1. Because the p lignite do viner compe rate on 2. Beca the increased rates stroy the lignite industry of kota ause the Northwest is ht partially dependent upon r its fuel supply cause in times of coal strikes or railway strikes the North west is entirely dependent upon this | local coal field 5. Because if the lignite industry is destroyed, the people of the North- west will be at the mercy of eastern coal interests who will encounter no element of competition here | 6. Because “the living to farmers and to those who depend upon these farming districts for patronage and trade, is already far higher than can } adly be sustained Because the increase in freight | | rates would greatly increase the fuel | expenses to every domestic consum- er and would also reflect in the ex- pense of electricity and manifold other purcha: 8. Because North Dakota is not now prepared to sustain the financial loss of her largest industry, one that is encouraging other industrial de- velopment.and overcoming entire de- pendency on agricylture 9. Because the proposed tariff is ebviously discriminatory against our | best interests, being a measure to sid eastern coal mines and eastern ‘oads We, the undersigned, respectfully urge you to reconsider your action and withdraw this proposed tariff.

Fooling the Doge. | A dog recently entered a church in Aberdeén, Scotland, and after causing much commotion was sum- marily ejected by the minister. The canine intruder would have passed ! almost unobserved in many a High- land kirk half a century ago, when It was the general custom for the shepherds to tuke thelr faithful col- Hes with them to church. In some districts, where the pop- ulation was scanty, the congrega- tlon Sunday mornings would fre- quently be made up half of hu- mans and half of dogs. The canine auditors sat out the service with | commendable patience until the an- houncement of the last psalm, when there was a general str ing and yawning preparatory to scampering out as soon as the ben- ediction had been pronounced, In one kirk the congregation de- termined that the service should close in more decorous fashion. When a strange minister officiated one Sunday he found all the folk sitting whe he. was abuut to pro- nounce the blessing, and paused for them to arise. “Say awa’, 8 | whispered one old shepherd near the pulpit, “we're a’ sitting to cheat the dogs.” ’ Pressed His Suit. When the fine old mansion of!
