PARIS, Idaho, May 49, Especial Cores
pondence of The HERALD. Last winters
snow storms in Bear Lake were very few,
making dry, unproductive season almost
inevitable. But for two whole weeks now,
there have been storms sweeping the val
leys and moisture in the air with barely an
interval for May walks. This changes the
aspect, and the farmers and ranchers say
a bounteous crop is assured. Sunday morn
ing old Sol rose over the eastern mountains
and found no clouds to interrupt his flood
of light on its pilgrimage to the earth. 1t
is thought the storm has ceased. The birds
are singing merTily, and all nature looks
prOpitiGus.
Randolph is thriving little town OF over
half a tn usaad Inhabitants, situated near
Bear river and thirty miles north of Evans
ton. The Coop store, managed by Bishop
McKinnen, is doing q fair business. A +.
Pearce is also working up the mercantile
business in this place. There is some talk
of building a new hotel.
"Where is your Jail - l asked little boy
near the Randolph Coop.
There she are,n ne said, pointing TO
structure that appeared from our point of
| view not longer than an average dry goods
$1,000 80

| Lake Town is a pretty little place with
many very neat, creditable residences and
| fiOurishing store. It is situated in the eX-
IRENE south Of Bear Lake valley and within
mile and a half from that picturesque
lake of Bear lake monster fame. Joseph
Irwin is managing the Coop. and that is
equal to saying it is a decided success.
He's rustler, and don't you forget it. A
friend and | stepped into the store the
other day.
as this Mr.. Irwin:'' my friend asked.
"That's what the Gentiles call me- ne
answered, good humoredly, as he shook US
heartily by the hand.
Following up the west bank Of the lake
you pass through Garden City, Fish Haven,
St Charles, Bloomington and Paris. Ten
miles east of Paris you reach the nearest
railroad point, Montpelier.
St. Charles is very attractive village
resting on the foot hills that slope off grad
ually to the lake shore. 1t supports two
good stores, and a first-class shoe-shop.
The stores are ably managed by Edward
Pugmire, superintendent of the Coop, and
Mr. Wilcox. William j. Cleal runs the
shoe-shop, which turns out more shoes than
any other shop between Montpelier and
Randolph.
The young people of Bloomington had
very pleasant time at the party given Fri
day night. The small ooys had great
time over the dancing prodigy that eXhib-
tied there that evening.
Thursday afternoon, as Mr.. Hopkin
Campbell, Miss Crabtree, Miss Annie Lowe
and her sister, all from Providence, Cache
county were going over the mountains
north of Paris, a serious accident occurred. !
1t seems that the party was going to visit |
friends at Bern. When they had reached |
a point some ten miles north of Paris, Mr. !
Campbell stepped out of the vehicle to walk |
up steep hill. When they had driven |
part way up the hill, the double-trees be- |
came detached; the buggy ran backwards |
down the incline for several rods when it |
capsized. The ladies were thrown to the |
ground in terrific manner and it is a won |
der any of them came out alive. Miss |
Crabtree was unhurt, but Miss NJ. Lowe |
was quite severely bruised. The greatest |
ill-luck befel Miss Annie Lowe, whose |
right leg was broken just above the ankle, |
and she was otherwise badly bruised. They |
the best of surgical treatment, and is now
resting as comfortably as can be expected |
under the circumstances.
The garb of Improvement which Paris |
has donned within the past two years can
scarcely be credited. The number of fine |
private residences, handsome public build !
ings and imposing business establishments 4
numerous to mention. Business is brisk !
and every one is business.
What the people of Bear Lake stake |
merit praise for most, is their handsome |
This was begun about four
years ago and they expect to have it fin
ished next fall, and if possible in time for
the August conference. When completed, |
President Bulge tells US, the building will |
have cost nearly fifty thousand dollars. |
For general design. SOliditV. comfort and
artistic beauty, there is no building of the /
kind in Utah that can compare favorably !
with it. 1t is constructed almost wholly of |
native sand stone, rock, brick and timber.
The attractive timber ceiling, the pretty
cove in the rear of the building, for the
choir and organ, sn1 the neat arrangement .
OF the pulpit, which leads up to the cove,
are new departures from the usual style of
Mormon taberaacles, adding greatly TO its
beauty. JAKE MILES.
