Getting Down to Work.

Pierre Free Press: The railroad commission of Dakota has now got down to hard, honest work. Up to this date it has undertaken and completed two enormous tasks, one of which was to organize and elect a secretary for itself, and the other was to recommend that the Milwaukee road establish a station between Audover and Langford, Day county. The commission is now rolling up its starched sleeves and is getting ready to consult with the governor and the attorney general as to the propriety of enforcing the grain and warehouse law, as passed by the Dakota legislature. Even if the members of this body do consider life a burden, they should not engage in any great amount of labor during this hot weather. Dakota is a generous country, and it does not expect its public officials to wear themselves out in performing the duties of office.
