O. railroad company 'has asked tho s"tato railway commission to with draw its order requiring thostop ping of cortainypassertger trains at South Sioux City, Neb., and in re turn promises towithdraw its appeal to the uprcme5ourt'vof Nebraska. When tho order oftho state commis sion was issucd.tlie railroad company alleged it did not care to stop the passengers trains in question at South Siqux Citybecauso it Had es tablished a fast schedule. ltwas al leged that the1", railroad company had another andr-more important object in view, the preventing tho passen gers fropi "beating"' tho higher in terstate passenger fare by .buying tickets to the Nebraska sido 'df the Missouri river arid Inking a street car lino into Sioux City. The rail way commission in issuing an order requiring trains to stop,, based its finding whollyeuponitho1'question of service. The railway' commission de cided that South Sioux City and pa trons of the rond deserved better service than wasf given. It ordered tho trains stopped only as a mat tor of servlcerTho railroad compa ny is now wiJlingUo stop ilHitrains at South SiouxCity and is willing to do bo and withdraw its appeal if, the state railway commissionqr will, withdraw its order against the road.' As the, faro on' all roads in tho west is now 3 cents a milo the Nebraska two-cent law is no lonirer an in ducement for .passengers to make In-, lersialo journey at less than the in terstate rate.

On page 15 of sajd answer ap pears tho followingfin regard to the value of property located1 near tho Missouri river: , ""Tho Missouri river erodes its banks badly from Chamberlain, S.D., to its coniluonco with tho Mississip pi, and tho soil in the vicinity of Sioux City is.especially fovofnblo for erosion. The depredation of .the ri ver., in its valley In tho viclrity of Sioux City aro so great th.it it may bo said to havo a mortgagojupon tho whojo of it, and unless prcvojited by artificial barriers, in tho course of time it forecloses this mortgage on every acre of tho valley. in the lirocebs the channel shifts from place to place and from l;lull to ulufr. Tho Hazard of tho river is so uroat that Insurance companies, ravings bank, and indixMiit :M will not accept ap plications for loans on lauds that lie within tho sphere of its operations.
