Every railroad corporation in the
state of North Dakota is compelled to
build a station house and keep a sta
tion agent twelve months in the year,
when so ordered by the railroad com
missioners, at all its sidings where
there is grain or merchandise of any
description to be shipped when the
outgoing and incoming freight and all
other receipts at that station amounts
to over $ 12,000 or more in any one
year provided that said stations are
not less distant than five miles apart
upon the same line of railway. If the
residents at such stations believe the
receipts at that point exceed $12,000
and fail to secure the building of a
station upon proper application to the
company, the matter should be refe -.

'lit: following interesting mfor
mation concerning the laws of "v
North Dakota as they otiect the
,f
public and the railways 13 fum
islied by W. F. Gushing, sec
retary of the North Dakota
Railroad commission. The
CChronicle will run a series of
such items. They are in real
ity answers to questions that
are constantly reaching the
commisison and are of interest
to every North Dakotan but
more especially to the traveling
public.
The law of this state provides that must have a bulletin board, upon
every railroad station shall be pro- which, at least 30 minutes before the
vided with at least one street lanip at scheduled time of the arrival of a
each end of the depot platform. At
r.ifht these must be lighted one hour
bclorc the arrival of trains scheduled
to stop there, and remain lighted one
half hour after the departure of the
trains. It is the duty of the states at
torney to prosecute the railroad com
pany for failure to supply the lamps
and have them lighted as provided by
law.

Dickiason, March 12.—The first di
vidend declared by the Farmer*• Grain
Co., of Dickinson aince organization
about five year* ago, wai announced
by the management Monday. Thia di
vidend was for 100 per cent and it
said the aniplua on hand,-after paying
all indebtedness and the stockholders
such handsome returns on their tn
vestment, is sufficient to cover all car
rent expenses of the company until
opening of the coming grain season.
This, however, is not a cooperative

red to the railroad commission,
which will secure a correct report of
the receipts and .see that the law is
carried out. An appeal can lie made
'.o the railroad coniin
.mon
direct with-
out application to the company, if do
sired.
It is the duly of railroad cocipan
ies to hav: their passenger cars fum
igated at least once in 30 days, and I
all cars should hcv- posted therein a
printed notice of the time and place
the car was last fumigated. Com
plaints of dirty and unsanitary cars
will receive the prompt attention of
the railroad commission. I
The railroad companies of the state]
train, must be placed the fact whether
such train is on time, and if late, how
late, which bulletin must be changed
at intervals of one hour until the ar
rival of such delayed train. But pas
senger trains not more than 15 minutes
late shall be deemed on time so far
a* the bulletin is concerned. Any
failure of a station agent to properly
post hia bulletin, if reported to the
railroad commission, will secure a
prompt remedy.
Every railroad company must pro
vide and maintain in all its freight and
ticket offices in all towns, cities and
villages in this state, where a local tel
ephone exchange is operated, and
where such service is available, rea
sonable and adequate telephone con
nections for the use and benefit of its
patrons. Should any company, upon
proper application of its patrons at
any town, city or village for such tel
ephone connection, refuse or neglect
to put a phone in its depot, an appli
cation to the railroad commissioners
will bring prompt relief upon a show
ing that bona fide exchange exists
in said town.
