(lYom a Staff Correspondent.) :
UNCOLN. : Jan. 1 (Special.) It will
roat Nebraska and the other four states
that are fighting the proposed western
railroad rate advances, about $.10,000 for
the preliminaries and about WS.ff more
for the completion of the case should the
Interstate commission grant the ex
tension of time thut Li sought at the
first, hearing. , 1
The estimate of the cost of the rase
was made by the general commute of
the commissions, from a conferea?e Qf
which at Pes Moines H. T. Clarke of the
Nebraska commission has Just returned.
The expense will be - pro rated among
the five states principally Interested, Ne
braska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and
Minnesota. '
Thirty-seven roads are asking general
advancea In rates In western territory
somewhat similar to the advances re
cently granted In the east. Commis
sioner Clarke thinks the expense fully
Justified.
The hearing Is scheduled for February
IB next. In Chicago before Commissioner
Daniels. "The state commissions will ask
for an extension of time In which to
prepare their case. Nebraska's share of
the expense will probably be met out of
the general appropriation for the com
mission. Ke-w Place for Mallowtier. .
