The official court reporter shall make an original and as many copies of transcripts of his notes as demanded, and he shall certify and file them with the clerk of the district court. These transcripts, or any portion thereof, may be used for the purpose of making up the record to be taken to the supreme court or court of appeals. The clerk of the district court shall collect the certification fee, but shall receive no compensation for transcribing. Where not otherwise fixed by statute, the court may, by rule, fix the compensation of official court reporters for extra copies filed with the clerk, which shall be paid for in advance, if demanded, by the party ordering them. The amount paid for the original and two copies of the transcript by the party ordering them shall be taxed as costs in the cause.
