 MT. McNamara sni1ingly declined however explaining to the man that 1t was necessary for him to remain in the office in case other winners came for their money.

CROP CONDITIONS.

OF course, it may a little early to
talk about crop conditions, but the
Tribune has been in receipt of several
letters recently in which there is a
strain Of optimism that is hard to get
rid of.
Everyone seems to have idea that
conditions during the winter have
been just right for the starting of
the crop this spring. There is only
one drawback mentioned in any OF
the letters and that is the fact that
there has been only a small amount
of blowing done and the crop in some
instances may be late in getting into
the ground.
The late snow this spring seems to
have been considered a good thing
for the crops and the fact that the
frost is down so deep is surely a good
thing for the start and if there is only
a normal amount of rainfall during
the growing season there is no ques'
ton but that the state will have an.
other good crop this all.

REGISTERING FARM N Es.

There seems to be an idea prevail
ent among some that the law which
passed the last session of the legis-
.lature and was signed by the governor
providing for the registration of farm
names requires that the registration
be made with the secretary of state,
but that is a mistaken impression.
The register of deeds in each coun'
ssty isathe proper official before whom
the matter should be presested.
There are a good many farm own
crs who have taken advantage of the
law aud there will be more as loon as
the provisions of the bill are more
generally known. The idea Of having
a same for the farm seems to be a
good one, whether there is any f1nan-
cial benefit or not. 1t would seem
that it would %engender a spirit OF
pride in the members Of the family
living on the farm and that they
would take more interest in the work
and life of the farm. OF course, where
n makes a speciality of any particu-
lar line of farm work. dairy, fancy
stock, or anything else, the name and
especially one that is registered is OF
inestimable value.
There should not be a duplication
of m in the same county, orr at
least not by owners of farms who re-
ceive their mail at the same %postofice,
and there is no need of it. There
plenty of appropriate names for a
farm home, in many instances the To-
cation proving an inspiration for the
selection OF a name and in others the
peculiar line Of business conducted,
while in.some cases there are family

n ! r

The election of A. w. Lucas as
president Of the city commission to
day will mean that Bismarck is tc
have a good business administration
for the time Mr.. Lucas serves.
During the entire campaign there
has not been a statement made that
would go to prove that Mr.. Lucas was
not in every way capable and the
Tribune believes that the citizens will
make no mistake in naming him to
head, the city commission.
4. Itlis possible there are others who
would do as wen, but in taking Mr..
Lucas re are getting a mar who has
been tried and found to DE capabie,
honest and conscientious. Mr.. Lucas
has announced his platform and all
the things he stands for are things
that are needed in the city.
Bismarck is in a position just at
the present time where the most care.
full administration OF the affairs of the
city is needed and we need successful
business men at the head of affairs.
The Tribune also belives that r. G..
Battey and Christian Bertsch will be
good men to name as members Of the
city commission. They with the men,
bers who will hold over assure the
city of Bismarck Of a commission that
will do things that will be for the
good of the city at large.

Railroads Will Appeal.

The board of railroad commission
ers were Monday served, jointly, by
the Great Northern and 500 lines with
a notice Of appeal from the, commits
sion's recent order to those compa-
MES to either establish physical con-
nections between the two lines at
points where the roads intersect on
the 500 wheat line" or institute a
freight rate equal toNthe short haul
rate. The notice Of appeal sets up
that the law under which the commits
sion has acted is unconstitutional, in.
asmuch as it,sfdeprivss ithenappellants

Of. Ward county, April, s.. at which
time the railroad commission is to
hold a stated meeting at that point
covering the Sth, 9th and 10th of April
for the transaction of any business
which may come before the board.
This cas- aros on the application
kofa the National cBriquetting company

ed, last February, the Great Northern
resisted both the installation of yves
and the institution of the short haul
rate on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional, but as the law was
plain, the commission made the order
which is now being contested in court.
The case is a very important one.
as it, affects every railroad crossing
in the state where the installation of
wyes or institution of short haul rates
would make easier the. shipment Of
merchandise from one road to another
and thus greatly benefit shippers gen.
