TWO STATE BOARDS “JOINING FORCES IN | BiG RATE CONTEST Minnesota and North Dakota Experts Working Together to Compile Arguments Two statisticians of the North Da- kota Railroad Commission last week. began work in the offices of the Minnesota Commission in connection with the cooperative plan of the two states in opposing the 15-per-cent freight rate increase proposed by the nation's railroads, Charles Martin, statistician for the railroad commission here, and C. E. Iverson, assistant statistician recent- ly for St. Paul to take up their work at the state capitol there. ‘Statisticians of the two commissions will cooperate in the statistical work until August 31 at which time'a hear- ing has been set at Chicago on the railroad’s application. The railroads are also asking for a 15 per cent increase in intrastate rates, and the statistical data will be used in connection with hearings on those applications as well as in the I. C..C. hearings. A petition by the North Dakota board for a hearing in the northwest not earlier than next October 1 was denied by the interstate commerce commission. Martin's exhibits will deal with the financial condition of the railroad’s while the traffic department of the commission will submit rate exhibits. A 15-per-cent increase in rates in North Dakota would amount to about $10,000,000, Ben Larkin, chairman of the state commission said. “The North Dakota Raiiroad Com- mission,” he added, “is cooperating with other state commissions in vigor- ous opposition to the railroads’ de- mands on the grounds that the car- riers’ financial difficulties are due to excessive capitel expenditures, waste- ful operating practices, the running of unnecessary passenger trains at a Joss, a greatly reduced volume of both passenger and freight traffic, and that the general level of freight rates, particularly on agriculture products, is now too high.” Crowd Sees Close Of Big Slope Fair A large crowd Sunday witnessed the | the closing of the annual Missouri Slope state fair at Mandan which, although booked for July 28 to 31, continued through Saturday and Sunday when rain halted the program Thursday and Friday. A record number of exhibits were entered in the livestock, poultry and swine departments of the fair, ac- cording to fair officials who said that, although total attendance at the ex- position did not break the record, a great number of Slope residents at- tended. County and fair officials said not a single objection was raised to operat- ing the exposition Sunday and that the Sunday operation set a precedent in North Dakota. Confessed Thief Is Given Prison Term Billings, Mont., Aug. 3.—(?)—Ray Porter, 23, of Chicago, who surren- dered to police in order to bring about the arrest of two erstwhile women companions, has been sentenced to three years in the state prison for bringing a stolen automobile into Montana.

She is Juliana, heir to the throne of Holland, and the natives have been as much of a study to her as she has been to them. As the future queen of a people, who have long been astute colonizers, she has been taking advantage of the Exposition to examine with her professional mind the work being done by other countries in their colonies. It was her first visit to Paris, but Juliana shunned the lighter side of the a of the city and remained on job. At 22, Juliana is one of the few unmarried princesses of royal rank in Europe, and the only one who is almost sure to come to a throne in her own right. She is @ big girl, strong and capable, known as a charming companion, but studious and serious-minded. Visit Is Quiet Princess Juliana came here with her mother, Queen Wilhelmina, and her father, Henri, Prince Consort, semi-officially and semf-incognito. Her Majesty formally inaugurated the comprehensive Dutch pavilion at the Exposition, and was entertained at a formal luncheon by President Doumer at the Elysee Palace, but otherwise there were no other state functions in her honor, at the queen’s request. “Do not forget that much of the fortune of Holland comes from her commerce and her possessions over the seas,” explained a high official of the Dutch legation here. “The queen has always wished that her daughter had a thorough under- standing of colonial problems and for that reason she took advantage of the French Exposition to enable the princess to profit by its lessons.” So Juliana has been driving to the exposition almost every day and, ac- companied by her advisers known as colonial specialists, visiting the va- rious sections representing other! countries and getting first hand in- formation on colonial life and prob- lems of development. Later she plans to visit various Dutch colonies, par- ticularly Java and Sumatra. The queen, who will celebrate her fiftieth birthday in August and has been 32 years on the throne, appear- ed in splendid health and had a kindly word for each of the dusky natives of Dutch colonies who stood at attention as she approached. Annamite attendants in Eastern dress and conical hats and carrying huge decorative umbrellas could not keep their eyes off the royal party they were accompanying. Princess Works at Job Although Holland is very demo- cratic in government, Queen Wil- helmina is greatly loved and Juliana been trained to be queen, but brought when she takes the throne. She has ‘been trained to be quen, but brought up in a democratic way. During her early years in the classroom she had the association in her studies and comradeship in play of other girls of her own age. Later she received special education, but continued to enjoy the society of her girl friends. When she was 18 she went to the University of: Leyden and, upon orders of ‘the Queen Mother, was treated as an ordinary student with no special formalities. She took htr degree with high scholarship. Juliana is known as a princess without haughtiness, intelligent and of sound judgment, but above all. she is loved for her amiability, jovial manners and natural galety.

Members said Monday, following their return from a several - weeks’ trip to a number of cities, they are nearing the end of their work in the choice of an architect. Indications are one may be chosen this month. Early in July the three members of the commission, George A. Bangs, Grand Forks, G. A. Fraser and Fred L. Conklin, Bismarck, and the secre- tary, Frank L. Anders, held meetings at Grand Forks and Fargo where North Dakota architects were inter- viewed. From there they went to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee and Chicago to carry on similar work. “The commission has been investi- gating every source of information about every architect interested in designing the building,” Anders said. “This work actually started May 15, and the preliminary details are prac- tically finished.” Enthusiastic About Trip Through Park Enthusiastic about the scenic splen- ders in the country's most famous na- tional park, Duncan Wallace, winner of the Tribune-Paramount free trip to Yellowstone, recommends the trip to anyone contemplating a vacation. Wallace, a senior in the Bismarck high school, was unstinting in his praise of the park on his return Sat- urday. He said that he is determined to make a second visit and would do so when the opportunity presented itself. He made the regular bus tour, being in the park four and a half days and one-half day in Cody Wyo. He stayed at regular cabins and lodges, taking hikes on the side. With him was Donald Buchanan of Fargo. The boys climbed Mt. Washington, took several horseback trips, and generally enjoyed themselves, Wallace said. On his next visit to ‘the park he would like to climb Electric Peak, highest one in the range running through the park, and to travel over several of the less frequented trails on horseback. He said he enjoyed excellent treat- ment and that everything was done to make his trip enjoyable. dropped to 47.
