GOOD ROADS BOOSTER.

o. w. Roberts, president Of tho
Burlelgh County Automobile club, in
a letter to the Tribune, deplores the
! nbominable condition Of the Red
Trail road through this county.
His letter merely substantiates
what hundreds Of others testify rs to
tho deplorable state of Burloigh Coun-
tvs roads. The Tribune publishes
the letter herewith: $50.

Editor Bismarck Tribune,
Bismarck. N. D.
Dear Sir:
Bismarck. with other towns along
the "Red Trail" Is bidding tourists to
come our way, and the least that we
should do is to make our part Of the
trail" as good as possible. So many
i complaints have been lodged with me
over the poor condition of the roads
in Burleigh county that l decided to
make trip from Bismarck to James
town and return and compare our
roads with those Of Kidder and Suits.
man counties. As \ chain Is only as
strong rs It's weakest link. so is a
road only as good as its poorest part.
As Burleigh county has the poorest
stretch Of road encountered on this
trip. Il follows that we do not com.
pare favorably in the condition Of our
roads with those Of our sister coun.
ties. The road for the first six miles
east of Bismarck is all that could be
asked for, for the next six miles the
road Is fair. and for the next six
miles It Is Accountable. I cannot i'm.
aEine a poorer piece of road than the
one just west Of Mckenzie, through
what is known as the Mckenzie
slough. In many places between
Steele and jamestown the same con
ditions have been met so successfully
that traveller can drive with both
speed and comfort. II We are to con
tinue to invite tourists to take the
Red Trail and see what we have tc
OFFER It Is up to us to improve our
part Of the Trail. This can be sue
cessfullly accomplished If the news
papers. the Commercial club. the
Burleigh County Auto club and the
public In general will bring pressure
to bear upon those In charge to see
that our roads are not only brought
up to the standard set by adjoinins
counties. but made the equal Of any
In the state.
Very truly yours,

President Burleigh County Auto
Club.

THE SURGEONS RING.

Rumors are heard occasionally in
various cities about the so-called
Surgeons ring'--meanlng groups of
physicians and surgeons who play In.
to each others hands for tho sake Of
obtaining more frequent and goodly
fees than would be possible in the le.
Ultimate course Of ordinary practice.
A prominent physician of ono of
the large cities was recently asked
by Il man connected with this news.
paper whether such rings had any
real existence.
Not only are such conditions posi-.
bio, he explained, contidentially, but
in his own city he knew positively of
tho existence Of two or three such
groups.
"A patient comes to me and says,
have been to Dr. n -.
II reply: I will tell you what DR..
\ said. He told you that you would
have to 20 to DR.. for further spe.
cial examination. DR.. Y told you that
you would have to so to DR.. z for an
N-ray test. DR.. z said you would
have to be operated on, and strongly
recommended DR.. A. You consulted
DR.. A and found the operation would
cost not less than $4OO. Having al-
ready spent about 800 for diagnoses
and $50 for the X-ray. you thought
you'd consult me before you went
further"
"'But this is uncanny. How did
you know iit?' asks the patient.
go I've had too many just like you,'
I reply.
and this happens every few days,
with only slight variations"
He elaborated this with story after
story OF fee.splitting between physi.
clans and druggists, oculists and op.
ticians.n, He called attention to the
fact that the American Medical asso.
citation has gone on record against
the practice OF fee-splitting in gem
eral. but declared that the habit was
so prevalent and deeply ingrained
that 1t would take more than gem
Grafton to uproot It entirely.
Anything more reprehensible than
the mulcting OF patients for unnec-
essary operations can hardly be i'm.
agined. 1t is sQuarely in the class
with selling diseased meat to the
boys on the firing line. It is theft,
pure and simple. and it is sometimes
far worse than theft. But in any xiv.
en- case 1t Is hard to prove.
Specialism in medicine holds high
and worthy place. Surgery wisely
and honestly administered is PERHAPS
the most benehcent thing known to
human kind These facts MAKE such
abuses the more sacrilegious. Re-
form of professional abuses. to be Of
fective. must come from within the
profession. What are the doctors
with clean hands going to do about

PLUMBING COMPANY EXPANDS.

The first of the week the Malta
Plumbing company opened shop at
Fort Benton and John McCaulley of
the firm will have charge of that
shop. AS the river city is Mr.. Nc
Caullay's home town he will be right
among friends and will, no doubt,
receive a large percentage of the
business at that point. The firm of
Shultz & Beaver at Chinook has
been dissolved annd Ed. Shultz will
in the future. have charge of the
work at that point for the Malta
company, and operate under the
name of the Chinook Plumbing Co.
Both Mr.. Shultz and Mr.. McCaulley
are members of the Malta Plumbing
company firm so that the plants in
the above cities are really branches
of the local concern.
Ed. Sigert. the popular manager
of the company in this city, will con-
tinue in that capacity. During their
stay in Malta the business of this
firm has grown beyond their fond
est expectations and the boys are
we'll pleased with the good trade
they enjoy here. A first-class tin
shop is operated in connection with

STOLE A CAR OF FLAX

About the best theft that we have
heard of, took place this winter,
when a man, giving his name as
Hall, succeeded in getting away with
car load of flax. We have had
numerous thefts of grain reported,
but this is the first one where the
thief gobbled up an entire car. and
from the looks of things the railroad
company should be thankful that he
did not get away with the whole
train. The story as was given us
goes something like this:
This winter a car of flax was
shipped from Strater by the ST.
Anthony & Dakota Elevator COM
pany, and billed to them at their
at Glasgow, a new billing was sub
stituted for the original and billed
to different commission merchant,
and billed from Malta. A few days
before the car of grain arrived at
Minneapolis, the party, calling him
self Hall, called on the commission
men and informed them that he had
shipped car of flax from Malta and
that he was big rancher near that
town.
He made arrangements to have
the money from the sale of the flax
sent to him here, but about the time
the car arrived in Minneapolis, the
commission men received word from
Mr.. Hall at Chicago, telling of a
heavy purchase of machinery and
stock, and asking that the money
be sent to Chicago, which was done,
and now detectives are looking for
the mysterious Mr.. Hall, and would
like to connect up with his address

ANOTHER HONlESTEADER
MEETS DEATH BY FREEZING.

According to story in one of the
Glasgow papers of last week another
case of freezing to death occurred
Monday night, about 80 miles north
of Hinsdale, DURING the severe bliz-
card which swept over this section
of Montana for a day and a night.
The victim in this case was Mr.
Viba Davis, who came to Montana
about month ago and located on a
homestead in the North country
up near the Canadian line.
He. with friend whose name has
not been learned. started out for
their claims before the storm
reached any great severity, and with
the lack of precaution so often
shown by newcomers, continued
their efforts to travel, but were
eventually stalled by their team
giving out. The animals were cut
loose and the men attempted to
continue afoot but were doomed to
failure. Davis met his death and
the other man was severely frozen,
though reported still alive.
The Davis body was picked up by
travellers on Wednesday and
brought into Hinsdale. Mr.. Davis
came from Moulton, Iowa, and was
a young man of about % years of
age. The only relatives in this sec
ton of the country are two cousins,
known as the Townsend boys, living
near Hinsdale.

be unable to do so otherwise.
Baby week, the week of March
9Th, came up for discussion. This
movement for better care and health
of little ones.
An invitation was delivered by
Miss Eva Robertson in behalf of the
Dodson Woman's club to a play to
be given by this enterprising club
on March 21st, and number from
Malta will undoubtedly attend.
A proposition to divide the club
into four units was discussed and
adopted, the heads of each section
being Mrs. H. A. Parker, Mrs. John
Tressler Mrs. p. A. Laramy and
Mrs. Owen McKone This does not
affect the unity of the club, but Is
for the purpose of facilitating sew

The program of the day dealt
with a subject always of great in

terror decorating and artistic fur
nishing of the home. Particularly
good papers on pictures and rugs
were given by Mrs. Murray and Mrs.
Sklower and interest was height

more highly favored.
ut has been said that men in
railroad train service are relatively
we'll paid. That is a fact which can
not be disputed. Whether they are
paid enough for the services they
perform to the public is debatable
question. 1t never will be answered
satisfactorily. In these days, when
we are discussing minimum wage
laws and attacking parasitic en-
ployers. They are not in the class
of employers who pay below, or even
close to, what is commonly under
stood as the bare existence line. The
earnings of train service crews on
the average are the highest of any
group of wage workers in the coun-
try.
Reports of the Interstate Com
merce Commission show that the
average daily earnings of a locomo-
tive engineer in 1914 were $5.2S;
a fireman. 1928; conductor, SAD
and other trainmen, $3.11."

excellent thing for both towns, and
Saco knows by experience the dis
