Wants Train Service Resumed. Lincoln News: M. F. Harrington of O’Neill has tiled a complaint with the state railway commission against the discontinuance of trains Nos. 5 and 8 between Long Pine and Norfolk Junc tion by the Northwestern railroad. He alleges that the commission granted leave to the Northwestern railroad company to discontinue the trains without giving tlie people interested a chance to be heard. Two years ago the commission permitted the rail road company to put on two trains. The railroad company desired to re serve the right to discontinue them if they did not prove protitable. The commission consented to this arrange ment with the understanding that the commission should be the judge of whether or not the trains were profit able. Recently the company made a showing to the commission to prove that the revenue from the trains was 28 cents per train mile, which was less than the cost of operation. The .rail way commission has notified the Northwestern road to answer the complaint of Mr. Harrington by March 3. Mr. Harrington also began injunct ion proceedings in the district court of this county to enjoin the railroad from the discontinuance of these two trains which order of the road went into effect last Sunday and the trains have not been run since. Mr. Harrington complains in this petition that the trains were discontinued without giv ing the public an opportunity to make a showing before the railway commis sion in behalf of retaining the service and that the discontinuance of the trains is a great inconvenience to him self in particular and the public in general.

The Live Stock Market 1 South Omaha, Nebr., February, 23, 1 1911,—Special weekly market letter Nye, Schneider Fowler Co. While there has (been some tlucta tion in the cattle market during the past week, we do not think there is much difference in values from that of a week ago: If anything they are a lit tle lower. The packers have com plained of the soft weather and poor demand all around and have also been expecting that the bad condition of the feed yards was going to force heavy supplies for this week. The cold snap now on, however, would seem to overcome these excuses, at least tem porarily, and we do not look for any further slump to speak of this week. Strange as it may seem in the face of he lower prices on killers, the vtgor pus demand for Stockers and feeders jeeps up at fully steady prices. Farm srs and feeders are certainly respon ilbe for this condition which we think s out of line. We quote: Fair to choice beeves. 5.25(d) 6 25 Dtbersdownto. 4 75 Dorn ted cows and heifers up to 5.25 Fair to good . 4.00@ 4.60 manners and cutters. 3 00(a) 3.75 Veal calves. 4.00(g) 8 00 Bulls, stags,etc. 4.00(a) 6 25 Good to choice feeders. 4.75@ 6 90 Others down to. 4.00 Stock heifers. 3 75(a) 4.50 There has been really little change in values in hog market during the past week or two. Prices have fluctu ated slightly but packers do not seem to be anxious for the hogs and the tendency seems to be toward a lower market. Bulk $6.95 to 7.05, top 7.10.
