RATES Those From Black Hills and Wyom ing East Investigated by Railroad Comnilwwlon. Rapid City, S. D., Jan. 26.—The' state board of railroad commission-' ers has taken up a matter of vital interest to the residents of the en tire western half of South Dakota the securing of an adjustment of the' present freight rates on coal, wood1 and lumber from the Black Hills and from eastern Wyoming adjacent to the Black Hills to points in western South Dakota as far east as the Mis souri river. The matter recently was called to the attention of the board by Gov ernor Vessey and by residents of the western half of the state. As an il lustration of the unjustness of the present freight rates, Governor Ves sey cites the recent purchase of three carloads of Sheridan, Wyo., coal for the state house at Pierre. The ship ment amounted in the aggregate to 107 tons, and cost in the aggregate in the mines the sum of $126.15. The freight on three carloads wa^ $576.05. Because of this the pres ent rates are declared to be prohibi tive. With the present rates in effect the business of the Black Hills lum .We won 97 Rlbtam bit mostly flrtte I 25 Per Cent Thesc3h|rts ^tje You j, Vi »/S Jf?i: I#} c***'* .j M":- mit xjii ,/•£ iA J-t' bermen and saw mill men with resi dents of the town west of the Mis souri river is seriously affected, as it is found that the rate on lumber from the Twin Cities to Fort Pierre —only a part of the same distance. Wood also can be shipped to Fort Pierre and surrounding towns from surrounding Btates cheaper than it can be shipped from the Black Hills, where there are large supplies. George Rice and Dr. W. G. Smith, members of the state board of rail road commissioners, have been in Chicago during the past two or three days conferring with the railroad companies concerned to see if they cannot secure an adjustment of the rates. It is expected that upon their return to South Dakota they will have an important announcement to make to the residents of western South Dakota in reference to the matter. Witness My Hand. In the early days only a few schol ars knew how to write. It was then customary to sign a document by smearing the band with ii.k and im preji.iug it upon the paper, accompa nied by the words, "Witness my hand." Afterward the seal was intro duced as a substitute for the hand mark and was used with the words above quoted, the two forming the sig nature. This is the origin of the ex pression as used in modern documents.
