SLIGHT INCREASE IN sUBscRiP.
TON

Owing to the advance in price of
paper, material, labor and everything
that goes into the makeup and publ
cation of newspaper, an increase in
the subscription price is made neces-
sary in order that the excellence Of
the paper may be maintained. Be-
ginning today the newspapers gener-
ally throughout the country will i'll
crease their subscription price.
Beginning January, 1908, the sub
scription price of the Bismarck Daily
Tribune, by carrier, will be so cents
a month instead of 40 cents, although
the privilege will be given until March
LIST to all subscribers to pay as many
months in advance at the old rate Of
40 CENTS, as they may choose. The
yearly rate will not be changed until
March LIST.
The subscription price of the Week
" Tribune will be increased on April
LIST, hut the opportunity will be Civ
en- all old subscribers to pay up de
linquencies and aus far in advance as
they desire prior to April LIST, at the
old rate Of 81 per year.
Under the new law it will be i'm.
possible to carry daily delinquent sub.
scribers only three months and week
ly subscribers one year, without the
addition Of heavy postage, which
would be almost prohibitive to either
publisher or subscriber.
The Bismarck Tribune receives the
Associated Press dispatches, spares nc
expense in giving its readers the news
and in Burleigh county the Daily and
Weekly Tribune reach over IS percent
of the people.
It appreciates the good will of its
readers and hopes by its patronage, to
be able to excel all previous records
during 1908. Advertisers will appre
ciate the rapidly increasing circula
ton, as it affords them the means
they desire of reaching the people Of
the Missouri Slope
We wish all of our readers a Happ,
New Year.

Alfred Blaisdell's candidacy for con-
gress appears to have numerous news

country, Judging from the many fat

ceived recently. But while these pa

This would indicate that so far Mr.

Will HELP TO
HURRY MATTERS

STATE TREAsURER's OFFICE DE-
VISES MEANS WHEREBY FARM
Frs WILL NOT BE so LONG DE-
LAYED IN HAVING MORTGAGE:
LOANS SATISFIED.
According to the law passed last
winter by the legislature there has
been more or less delay for the farm
ers having their state mortgage loans
satisfied and there has been more or
less complaint on that score. Those
who were instrumental in having this
law amended last session evidently
overlooked this feature, and for the
sake of facilitating the matter the
state treasurer is sending the follow
ing letter to the county treasurers:
Section of chapter 224 of the laws of
1907, amends section 155 of the re-
vised codes of the state of North Da-
kota for the year 1906, making the
payments of principal and interest on
farm mortgage loans to the county
treasurer of the county in which such
| lands lie. Section 1853 of the revised
codes of 1905 makes it the duty of
the state treasurer to collect monies
due and owing on all the securities,
held by him, belonging to the common
school and other institutional funds of
the state as the same become due, I'M
der the law as now amended the state
treasurer collects from the county
treasurer the installments of princi-
pal and interest, when due on farm
mortgage loans, instead of collecting
the same direct from the mortgagor
as formerly. Section 157 of the re-
vised codes of 1905, makes the state
treasurer the custodian OF the securi-
ties of the common school and other
institutional funds of the state and
he would not be justified in releasing
any of these securities, until the full
amount due thereon was paid direct
Unto his hands. i
When fran mortgage loan is paid
in full the mortgagor is entitled, and
/ should receive a satisfaction Of the
mortgage at once.
I Now, in order to facilitate matters,
/ would request that you remit prompt
ly to this department, as provided by
section 1872 of the revised codes of
1905, (instead Of including the same
in your monthly report to the state
auditory, all collections of INSTALL
tments of principal and interest re-
ceived by you on payment of farm
mortgage loans, giving me the number
of the loan, the name Of the mort
gagor, the number and amount Of the
installments of principal and inter-
est paid and upon, receipt of your,
remittances will promptly mail you
receipt therefor y
will then have a record of the
payments in my Office and will notify

loan.
& The satisfaction of mortgage and
other papers pertaining to the loan
could then be delivered OF the mort
gagor, or owner of the land, with
nearly the same dispatch as they FORM
erly were before the law was amend
ed.
Trusting that you will give this
matter your prompt attention. am

Paducah will not stand for assess
ment of her property by the state and
county without a further fight, and
City Solicitor Campbell has taken
steps to secure an appeal from the cir
cult court, finding the city liable for
state and county taxes on the wharf,
market house and lots in Oak Grove
cemetery. One feature of the case
was appealed and the city lost; but a
recent decision in the case of the city
water plant of Newport, involving
many of the same points, sustained
the city's contention of exemption,
and Paducah will try to. secure the
same privilege.
The ground on which the property
was held liable for taxes Is broadly,
that the city derives revenue from
them. The county court fixed the
value of the wharf at s25,D0O; the
market house at SIC, 900 and the
cemetery lots at $4,000. They were
assesses back several years and pen
alties were charged against the city.

Memphis, Feb. 11.-Notices have
been sent out on every division of the
Louisville and Nashville to all train
men, giving notice of a cut in wages.
which will go into effect the first of
March. The notices sent to employees
of the operating department on the
Memphis division are that the scale of

On March 1 of last year, after many
conferences between representatives
of the various trainmen's organiza-
tons, the wages of the men were re-
adjusted. The increases granted were
not uniform, the efforts of the men
being directed TO making the salaries
on various divisions more uniform.
The increases granted at that time to
engineers, firemen, conductors and
hagmen were from to 10 per cent.
and varied with the different classes
of runs in the freight and passenger
departments.
Speaking of the proposed reduc-
ton. Division Superintendent F. n.
Fisher said that he could not figure
out any special percentage of reduc-
ton for the various classes of en-
ployes affected, but that he thought 1t
would not probably average over 9
