Apri! 20.—Involving $12,- 000,000 of property, and proposing for the first time in the northwest the authorized pooling of freight, the Northern Pacific and the Soo Line today asked the interstate commerce commission to sanction an arrange- ment for pooling ore shipped from the Cuyuna range in northern Minnesota. The Northern Pacific and the Soo Line have been in the forefront of American railroads in moves of this character since they made effective, a number of years ago, a plan for pooling passenger business between St. Paul-Minneapolis and Duluth-Superi- or. This plan, as indicative of a trend in modern, economic railroad opera- tion, received nation-wide attention, and it since has been expanded. Pool- ing of passenger business by railroads today also is in effect between Portland and Seattle in the Pacific northwest. The application now filed proposes another advanced step in the same direction, this time involving freight. and the commission is asked to au- thorize it under the transportation act of 1920. The announcement of the pooling plan was made by H. E. Stevens, vice president in charge of operation of the Northern Pacific, and A. E. Wal- lace, vice president and general mane ager of the Soo Line. The new ar- rangement, while it will provide eco- nomical operations affecting the rail carriers, will take to the public far- reaching benefits, according to the railway officials. “Each company will continue to furnish the general public the same service as at present, and no tonnage or business will be pooled other than iron ore and coal moving to the mines over the range,” they said. Expenditures to enlarge railroad yards on the range and at Superior, ‘Wis., to carry into effect the pooling proposal will total $250,000. The rail- ‘way operations are to be joint on the range and at Superior, although the two companies will operate their own road trains betwsen the range and Superior. What It Means Under the new arrangement the two railroads propose to: Pool the ore on Cuyuna range. Jointly own, use and operate all of the trackage on the range, after elim- inating that which will not be neces- sary for the economical operation of the pool business. Use as a range train yard for both companies the Northern Pacific yard at Ironton, which will be enlarged at a cost of $50,000. Establish joint switching on the range, with each company furnishing power and crews for the joint work. Operate their own road trains in the movement of ore from the joint yard at Ironton to the Hill avenue yard in Superior. Use jointly the 108,000-ton-capacity steel and concrete dock of the North- ern Pacific at Superior, which will be operated by the Northern Pacific in handling ore for both railway com- panies. Utilize the Hill avenue yard, where the Northern Pacific will do the Lowest last night Preciptation to 7 a. Highest wind velocity . “Who, me? Say, I must be way ahead on the races.” switching for both companies in the yard and from the yard to the dock. Pool all ore Cars. The distance between Superior and the Cuyuna range on both lines is about 100 miles. . Already work has been started at Superior to enlarge the Northern Pa- cific’s yards, The $200,000 expenditure there will thoroughly modernize as well as expand the yard. An auto- matic scale is to be installed which will weigh cars while still in motion. The Soo Line proposes to abandon a wooden dock on the inner harbor at Superior. Share Limited Business “The character of ore from the Cu- yuna range makes necessary an un- usual amount of classification to pro- duce grades of the chemical content desired for commercial use,” the ap- plication read. “This not only re- stricts the output of the mines and the marketing field, but makes it necessary that carriers handling the ore provide an excessive amount of equipment and facilities per ton mile of ore handled. In order that each road operating in the field may share in the very limited business offered it has been necessary for them to pro’ not only more facilities than ordini would be required for han- dling this small tonnage, but to a large extent provide duplicate facil- ities, with the result that the ore can- not profitably handiéd at the rates which the traffic will bear. “The handling of the entire>ton- nage through one dock, one assembly yard, one grading yard, and the pool- ing of ore cars of the. two companies, will permit the elimination of dupli-! cate facilities, greatly expedite the switching, grading and transporta- tion of the ore from mine to dock and the accumulation in the dock of ship cargocs of the desired commercial | grades, and also eliminate delays and expense to the producers on account of car shortage of the very special type of cars required for handling ore. “The entire operation will result in improved’ service to the mine op- erators, both by rail and water, and place the carriers in a position to provide promptly whatever additional facilities may be necessary for proper future development of the field.” St. Paul Firm Will Erect Branch House For Dickinson Soon lishment of branch offices and a | SIDE GLANCES - - - - By George Clark | ; by the Motor Power Equipment com- pany of St. Paul, according to offi- cials of the firm who spent several days here making preliminary rangements.

DIGKINSON SECURES NEW ELECTR RATE Dickinson, N. D., April 20—A new schedule of electric rates for Dickin- son has been filed with the state rail- way commission by the North Dakota Power and Light company, which serves this city. The new rates, which will be effective May 1, represent a marked reduction in the charges made for both electric light and power cur- rent, and place Dickinson rates on a basis that will compare favorably with those in effect in the larger cities of the state, Under the new schedules the rates ‘will be as follows: Light—First 25 kilowatt hours, 10 cents; next 75 k. w. h., 9% 100 k. w. h., 9 cents; next 100 k. w. h., 8 cents; next 100 k. w. h., 7.cents; all over 400 k. w. h., 6 cents. Minimum charge, $1 per meter per month. Power—First 1,000 k. w. h., 6 cents; next 1,000 k..w. h., 5 cents; next 5,000 k. h., 4 cents; next 5,000 k. w. h., 3% cents; all over 12,000 k. w. h., 3 cents. | A statement issued by the utility jfirm in connection with the an- nouncement declares that the reduc- tion will effect a saving to local con- sumers of more than $12,000 annually.

The boy slipped into his own quar- ters like a wounded animal seeking Shelter. He wanted a drink, wanted to drink himself into oblivion. He did, in fact, take one stiff glassful before an ever-present fear asserted itself, and he pushed the decanter aside. “If I-go'blotto I'll babble,” he cried despairingly. “Oh, God, what will I do?” » He threw himself down in a chair Housman, David Lee and Robert Em- |; mett O'Connor.
