It will be impossible to travel the Highways on account of automobiles, and rail transportation is out of the question because the ranch is re- mote from any railroad.

The railroad asks an injune- tion to prevent an order issued by the board from becoming effective and that the court fix a rate which is fuif and reasonable. The point involved is that of a fair division of rates between the North- ern Pacific and Midland Continental roads on shipments to the state hos- pital, located on the Midland Con- tinental, from mines located on the Northern Pa After a hearing the railroad board | decided that the Midland Continental should 25 per cent of the rate charged with a minimum of 45 cents a ion. On application by the Northern Pa- cifie the minimum charge permitted by the Midland Continental was re- duced to 35 cents a ton. It is from the latter ruling that appeal now is taken. The Northern Paoific probably will fight the case, it was said at the railroad board offices today. Wishing You a MERRY CHRISTMAS anda HAPPY NEW YEAR NIELSEN’S MILLINERY Mrs. A. S.
