Bismarck Daily Tribune

The selection of James W. Foley as secretary of the state railroad commission will give general satisfaction and we may expect something more of this board hereafter than heretofore- at least some sort of report of the board's action on the various complaints made by shippers and others will be made and the business of the board will be kept in shape. The salary of this office is but $1,000 in North Dakota as against $3,500 in Minnesota but Mr. Foley will assist the agricultural department in its literary department and the publication of the North Dakota Magazine, which with his newspaper work-he having never entirely severed his connection with the Bismarck Tribune- will keep Mr. Foley busy and best of all--a permanent resident of the Capital City.
