SUBSTANTIAL RATE VICTORY IS WON BY STATE WHEAT MEN ICC Denies Mill City Request; Keeps Millers in Business in N. D. * ¥ ‘The state railroad board said. Wed- nesday a “substantial rate victory” for wheat producers and flour millers in North Dakota had been won through denial by the Interstate Commerce Commission of a proposal to establish, a proportional rate on wheat products milled at Minneapolis from grain originating in four states without a like reduction on state wheat products. The proposal was made by rail- roads and Minneapolis milling inter- ests. It sought to establish an 8-cent proportional rate on wheat products milled at Minneapolis from grain originating in Nebraska, Kansas, Col- orado and Oklahoma without giving a like reduction on North Dakota wheat products, the board stated. ‘The proposal originated a year ago when much of the North Dakota spring wheat was injured by black rust. The proceeding alleged that the shortage of millable spring wheat constituted an emergency that re- quired a rate reduction on southwest winter wheat moving through Minne-. apolis to enable them to reach that source of supply. Railroad commissioners, together with representatives of North Dakota flour mills, went before the ICC when the proposal was filed and succeeded in obtaining a request for suspension and investigation. _ Commissioners Elmer W. Cart, J. C. Winter, rate ex- pert on the board; and T. A. Durrant, in behalf of the state mill and eleva- tor, were at the Washington hearing. The North Dakota men contended that under the Minneapolis proposal vroducts of northwest wheat milled in North Dakota mills or at Minne- apolis would continue to pay the present 12 cent rate from that city to Chicago while products of southwest wheat milled at Minneapolis would be accorded an 8 cent rate. The margin per barrel of flour would force Nortir Dakota millers out of the eastern flour market, they asserted.

M'GAHAN TOOK OWN LIFE, JURY DECIDES Multiplicity of Worries Prompt- ed Former N. D. Man to Shoot Self carta Riverside, Calif, Aug. 5.—(P)—A coroner’s jury has returned. a verdict after an inquest that Luther 8. Mc- Gahan, Los Angeles community news- paper publisher, committed suicide. He was a native of North Dakota and formerly lived in Bismarck. He was shot to death at the ranch of a Los Angeles lawyer friend, Rob- ert L. Ferguson, July 27. Ferguson testified McGahan turned a rifle on himself, yelled “Goodbye, Bob,” and shot himself. Ferguson said he previously defeated an attempt by McGahan to kill himself with a shot- gun, Before that, McGahan said he was worried over financial matters, sinus trouble, his mother's health and that he was paying his divorced wife $200 a month alimony, Ferguson said. ‘The inquest was ordered, after au- thorities had closed the case as one of suicide, because blood was found on trousers and shoes of McGahan.

HEALT the Best BEAUTY SECRET... LONG DISTANCE RATE Reduction Would Apply to All Calls Beyond Radius of 234 Miles Proposed reductions in long distance jBell Telephone company, announces. telephone charges on all calls over dis- tances of more than 234 miles after Sept. 1 have been filed with the Fed- eral Communications Commission at Washington), and the state railroad commission in Bismarck, F. H. Waldo, district manager for the Northwestern The proposed reductions apply to charges for both station-to-station calls, when the calling person asks to talk with anyone available at the tele- phone called, and to person-to-person calls, when he asks to talk with a speci- fied person. For example, under the new rates three-minute station-to-station call of 300 miles would be $1.25 on week Gays instead of $1.40 as at present. The tate after 7 p. m. and on Sunday for such a@ call would be 75 cents instead ot 80 cents. A three-minute station- to-station call of 1000 miles would be $3.25 instead of $3.75°on week days and $1.85 instead of $2.00 after 7 p. m. _|!and on Sunday. Also effective Sept. 1, the telephone company proposes that the time be- yond six minutes of conservation on any person-to-person call shall be charged for at the lower station-to- {station rate. Formerly, this lower rate for overtime did not apply to person- tc-person calls until after 10 minutes of conversation. This reduction, as was the previous one in January, is made possible by the upward trend in long distance usage, Waldo said. LITTLE HARVESTING: BEING DONE IN N. D.
