ming into them, while this road, that
is Travelled great deal, is entirely
neglected, greatly to the detriment of
sheep, COW and freight outfits. 1 may
be wrong, Mr.. Editor, but l think
am right in saying that Tongue river
can do with ferry for some time yet.
In the spring there is season that a
bridge would be really necessary on
that stream but the greater part of the
year it can be forded while the coulees
on Little Porcupine are like the poor
"always with u.s. but they. (the cou-
lees) with little outlay Of the road
fund could be made safe to cross with
the loads going and coming up and
down the creek. I will agree with S.
O'C. that bridges are good thing but
in my estimation they should be put
where they will do the most good and
where they will be benefit to the
travelling public.
Yours respectfully,

CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method Ii a Rather Costly One
In Great Britain.

Many people change their names
without asking permission from any
one or paying any fees whatever. This
is certainly the simplest way of get
ting rid of name you do not appre-
ciate, but it is apt to prove expensive.
For instance, such course is strictly
illegal, and the gOvernment.-could step
in at any time and demand the pay
ment Of heavy fine; and. further
more, if the individual who changed
his name without consulting anybody
happened to come in for large sum
Of money unexpectedly the authorities
would decline to recognize his claim
if he had failed to pay the fees due to
the beralds' college for assuming a
name not given in baptism.
There are two ways Of changing
your name, and they are both rather
costly. One method is to have pri-
vate act Of parliament passed for your
benefit. This course is generally fol-
lowed only by peers and people to
whom money is no object, for it costs
ESQ. This nearly all goes in fees to
minor officials for bringing your case
before the legislature. inasmuch as the
actual passing of the bill costs prac-
tically nothing. And the only advan-
tage you will gain from this expensive
way Of going to work is that inquiries
will not be made into your past history.
which by the other alternative are un-
avoidnble.
Is The usual method adopted for legally
changing the name is somewhat te-
dious. if loss costly. and you must have
very substantial reasons for SO doing
or your claim will not be allowed. If,
for instance, you inherit property
which makes it conditional that you
change your name you can do so on
payment of about $50 in fees.
In the first place you must COM
municate with the home secretary.
who, if he considers your claim valid.
will refer you to the hcralds' college
and the king of arms. These officials
will make full inquiries into your his
! tory and satisfy themselves beyond
| question that your reason for wishing
to make the change is in every way
legitimate. This done. they Will again
communicate with the home secretary.
who will lay your claim before the
king, for he alone has power to au-
thorize the change being made. Even
tualy. after some months Of waiting,
you will be informed by the heralds'
college that his majesty has approved
of your claim and the change of name
Is published in remote corner of the
London Gazette.
Finally it is worthy Of mention that
no one can hold public appointment
under government who has changed
his name without the consent of the
king. however brilliant may have been
his services to the country. The reason
for this is rather curious. The name
given you at your baptism is in theory
ratified by the sovereign as head of the
church. and by assuming another on
your own responsibility you are DELHI
erately breaking law of the land

they buy. Authoritative information
is now in hand leading to the belief
that the traffic managers of the three
railroad companies interested will not
insist upon the proposed advance if il
is proven to be against the will of
the united merchants i'm North Caro-
lima and South Carolina.
The following resolutions have al
ready been adopted by a large num-
Der of merchants associations:
we, the undersigned members of
the Association of Retail Grocers and
General Merchants, a local associa-
ton, affiliated with the North Carolina
Association of Retail Grocers and
General Merchants. do respectfully
submit:
THAT, whereas, we believe the as
ISOLATED railroads. to-Wit.: the South
ern, Atlantic Couast Line and Sea-
board Air Line, have i'm contemplation
a raise in freight on meats, flour.
corn, meat, lard and other staples in
less than car load lots; therefore, be
il resolved;
u. We believe any raise in freight
on the staples of life, at this time,
when the cost of living is so high
would be unjust to all retail grocers
because the burden would fall almost
entirely on them, as it would be next
to impossible for the retailer to add
to the selling price the additional
freight cost.
y. That the roads must recognize
the fact that the retail grocers con-
sutute at least so per cent of the in
diViduals who are engaged in dis
trIbuting meats and breadstuffs to the
consumers.
%. That we are not opposed to
dlitefenual rates, but would like to
see the jobbers of our State placed on
equal rates With the State of Vir-
ginid or any other State.
q. That we are not in favor of
any Increase on less than car lots in
order to create a difference in the
freight rate, which would benefit only
d few and Cypress the many.
%. That we earnestly request the
officers OF the Associated Railroads to
give us, through the State organiza-
ton, a respectful hearing before put
ting this order to raise the rate on
less than car load lots into effect

Japanese Victories

Yesterdays dispatches from the
Orient give accounts of japanese
victories. A report from Toxic,
says:
After hot fight, which lasted
for six hours, yesterday morning,
June 81, the Takushan division
of the japanese army completely
defeated five battaliOns Of Russian
infantry which, supported by two
regiments of cavalry and sixteen
guns. occupied Fen Shut Ling,
some twenty miles northwest of
Stu Yen. The Russians finally fell
back in the direction of Shi Much
eng. The japanese casualties
aggregated about one hundred
killed and wounded. Major Oba
was killed during the battle.
There is the greatest eagerness
for news from Port Arthur, but
nothing concerning the situation
there was knowa up to midnight.
1t may clarity the military situa-
ton to explain that the country in
which the armies are now coming
INTO contact consists Of series of
mountain chains running parallel
with the railway alongside of
which the Russians are falling
back as the japanese advance.
Fensbpi, Moeien and Dalen are al
passes which take their names
from the mountains over which
they run. General Kuroki, who
has heretofore been east of these
mountains. is advancing to the
westward from Stu Zen through IL
very rough country. and his
columns must traverse the passes
named before emerging into the
more open country along the rail
way approximately abreast of Ia
Tche Kjao, Hal Cheng and Lao
Yang.
