Freight rate hike hits lines west of the river
A new schedule of freight rates went into effect last Monday on all lines west of the river from Mitchell, Sioux Falls and Aberdeen, raising rates by twenty percent. The state railway commission did not intervene, leaving homesteaders to bear the higher charges while express rates remain cheaper. Businessmen and Mitchell wholesalers are urged to press to restore the old rate.
