Since the opening of the Sixty-three
Mile League season there has been
considerable interest in the games be-
tween the Bismarck White Sox and
the team from Mandan. Local sports
have eagerly been awaiting the time
when those two teams would first
meet, and they will have an opportun'
ity to witness the first contest be-
tween these rival teams Sunday after
noon when the local aggregation will
cross the big muddy and play the Op-
ening game on the Mandan grounds.
1t is expected that Towner will pitch
for the local team. The sprained
wrist Is healing rapidly and he was
in hopes that he would be able to Of.

probably be on the mound for the Re.

should go beyond the nine inning
stage. 1t is anticipated that there
will be a big crowd of rooters accom-

THE LUMBER TRUST.

The lumber trust is now to have its
Gay in court. The public is groaning
under advances in lumber prices, with
which the higher labor have raised the
cost of house construction 80 to so
per cent. They want to know wheth.
er this advance is caused by the
scarcity of forests or restraint Of
trade.
No legal power will ever prevent
two or more merchants from agreeing
to sell at a uniform price. But few
of the combines have been satisfied
simply with making such agreements.
There has always been a minority
of dealers who did not care to enter
into such deals. The trusts have had
a perfect right to represent to the
minority their view of the advantages
of uniform prices. Had they con-
tented themselves with simple argu-
ment of this type, the Sherman anti
trust law would never have existed.
The whole trouble has been that
they have invented a system Of re-
prisals to discipline those who saw
things in different way. And pun
ishment is a function belonging ex-
clusively to the courts.

VITAL STATISTICS.

There should be something done to
make the reports of births and deaths
published in the monthly report of the
state board of health more reliable.
At the present time they are huge
Joke. The blame does not lie with
the state board of health, nor with the
reputable physicians of the state, but
with a few who do do not report the
cases that come undertheir observa.
ton. The Tribune is not ready to Of
fer a remedy, but has a suggestion
that may prove conclusively that all
births and deaths in the state are not
reported to the proper authorities. II
the papers of the state would for one
month, commencing with the first,
keep. keep a note OF all deaths and
births recorded in the columns, they
would find, in nine cases out of ten.
that both totals would be greater than
those shown by the state boards re-
port.
The matter should be remedied not
only on account Of the value of the
statistics, but as a matter of justice
to the counties. At the present ,time
some counties are credited with
heavy death list which in comparison
with others in the bulletin. show a
record that is not desirable for any
community. If every county in the
state would make a correct report, the
total would probably be larger both
as to births and deaths, but the COM
parison would be much more fair. The
Tribune is going to keep such list as
has been suggested, for the month of
June. Other papers in the state
should do the same and bring home
to the county and city boards of health
that there are a large number of
events which are not being reported
to the proper persons.
