will be short. 1t can hardly survive
another session Of the legislature.
This very condition should cause
the members Of the commission to
move slowly and carefully in select.
ing men to fill the various positions.
There are some well known political
time servers who are applicants for
the positions and to appoint any of
them will spell failure. -
The men selected should have rec
oghiZed ability in securing settlers
and be able to point to Il record Of ac-
complishmcnt in this line rather than
political backing. .44
Appointments to this board will be
analyzed in a most critical fashion.
Those composing the commission
will be held directly responsible for
the appointments. The Tribune be-
licves that a majority Of the commits
sion realizes its responsibility.

HEALTHY GROWTH.

While the population outside the
cities is on the decrease in certain
sections Of the state, Burleigh county
shows a gain Of more than 100. Prac-
tically all of the gain in Ward, Grand
Forks, Cass and other large counties
came from the leading city in each
instance.
The state census will reflect a sub
stantial growth, despite the fact the
urban population in certain instances
has gained upon the rural growth.
Burleigh county, however, can be
proud that not all Of it's increase
since 1905 is in Bismarck and the vii
lagos. ......
An active campaign should be in
augurated to secure more settlers for
this county. No better work can be
done by the Commercial club than
to organize for such a project in con-
junction with the proposed state i'm
migration work. 7"
Burleigh county more than doubled
it's population in the last fifteen
years. This is a record to be proud
of. The next ten years should see
this increase ever exceeded.

A NARROW A

Despite the combined efforts OF a
few spineless politicians, the Immi-
grafton Bill becomes a law.
The problem now confronts the ad-
min~istration Of organizing the bureau
so that another set of politicians
equally as spineless will not control
the department for the purpose Of
pre-empting a few soft jobs.
Sentiment is by no mean unani-
nous in favor Of this department.
There is a well defined impression
that the 100000 will be used to fur
Their the political ambitions of certain
incumbents at the state house.
The very powers that tried to sus.
pend the law until 1916 will now at.
tempt, by playing politics, to render
the bureau worse than useless.
If their efforts are successful, the

SKULL FRACTURES AND DRINKS

The ordinary drunk found on the
street in an unconscious condition, is
thrown into a patrol wagon, allowed
to achieve sobriety on the hard planks
Of a lookup" bed, and usually gets
but little pity on his appearance be-
fore the police court Judge. The vic
tim of a not too evident skull frac-
ture who is found semiconscious and
refused admission to several hospi-
tails because Of a hasty diagnosis Of

lice cell in the morning. The small
town or village where the town
drunkard" forms an object lesson to
all the growing youngsters, is, of
course, little concerned with this
problem. in large cities, where from
two to ten cases may occur in a sim
gle day, the problem is an important
one.
In Chisago recently, a woman was
struck by a street car, and taken at
once to a local hospital. The receiv-
ing physician, acting on the hospi-
tails rule against alcoholics, refused
her admission because there was evil
dence that she had been drinking.
The patient was then carried several
miles to a police cell and a day later,
following the appearance of severe
symptoms, to a police hospital, in
which she died. The post mortem
showed the presence Of a skull frac-
ture. The coroner's jury which con-
sidered the case recommended the in
stallation of an observation ward in
the hospital where physicians might
carefully examine, with rOentgenog-
raphy and other methods, all cases
of the character described. The need
of such facilities, says The Journal
of the American Medical Association,
is obvious from a simple relation of
the facts in this single case. Such
an observation ward should not be
considered a refinement Of science,
but an absolute necessity for the say.

BACK FROM
LITTLE BIG HORN
Reports interesting Camping Elk
petition on Famous Bat
tlefield.

DR.. O. G. Libby, secretary of the
State Historical society, returned yes
terday from the Little Big Horn,
where he spent the past ten days,
camping on the famous Custer battle
grounds.
In company with "Red STAR the
Rec scout, DR.. Libby visited hun
.dreds of points of interest on the bat
stlefield. Red Star was thoroughly
familiar with the territory, but eXpe-
.rienced much difficulty in locating ex-
act spots where various incidents
took place. This was due largely to
the heavy underground, which has
changed the battle grounds consider
ably since the days Of General Gus
ter and his valiant band.
While DR.. Libby was enthused over
ibis trip, he stated that his enthusi-
assn was as nothing to that of the old
scout, who pointed out place after
place to him, and narrated incidents
connected with each of them.

BOOST FOR RED TRAIL.

Bismarck is vitality interested in
the success of "The Red Trail" It's
citizens should support the movement
for a bridge over the Little Missouri
at Medora. Hundreds Of tourists
each year will pass through Bis
marck on their way to the scenic
west il this national highway is per-
fected.
Success hinges on the Medora
bridge. Without that mean of trans
portation, the entire system will be
a failure and 1.-THE Red Trail must
be abandoned. Cities and villages
west Of Bismarck have shown that
they are keen to the advantages of
"The Red Trail" With a bridge at
Medora, the only ferry necessary is
at Bismarck. A bridge at Medora
will hasten a bridge over the Mis-
souri, here by demonstrating what a
potent magnet for traffic a bridge is.
The campaign will be started soon
to raise the assessment assigned this
city. George N. Remission will assist
the Commercial club and local boost
ers in the campaign to raise the de-
sired amount. There should be no
difficulty in getting the desired funds.
let everyone get behind this pro-
ject and boost. 1t will help Bismarck
and this section of the state. Those
who are skeptical should just inquire
about the success of the Yellowstone
Trail.
