the members is absorbed in that one
thing.
Can We afford to pay $3.50 90 to

Montpelier pays taxes on $685.
900 worth of assessable property
and is entitled to some protection
from the county. When an offend
er is arrested by constable and
convicted the county must bear
the expense, as it should. The
Post seems to think AL the taxes
Of the county are paid into the
treasury for the special use of
Parig, and while we admit it does
look SO, yet the facts are all of the
county is entitled to q shave for
protection.

If the Post succeeds in getting
one.third more for their printing
than they are entitled to the tax
payers are liable to conclude that
there is something rotten" in the
way county business is being
iuggled with. The EXAMINER
advises all to wait however and see
the action of the county board
before eensuring them.

The soldiers home at Boise
has been a disgrace to the
state long enough, besides
being expensive. Governor
Steunenberg's recommends
tions ought to be needed by
the present legislature, and
his ideas Incorporated into
law. 1t would mean a saving
of several thousands of dollars
annually.

BUNCOED.

pToceeulngsJ un0er the FoSts new
contract, was printed in that paper
last Friday. It only required q
glance to see how they expect to
rob the county during this year.
The specifications, from which
the bidding was done, and which
are printed in the above referred
to proceedings, called for bids on a
basis of "solid BREWER type body"
On these the EXAMINE submitted
its bid and the Post pretended to
do likewise. The Posts was FIVE
cents per inch the lowest, on this
basis, and was awarded the con-
tract. The commissioners in
structed the clerk to draw up a
contract according to the specifca-
tions for the Post people to sign.
This was on Monday. On Tues
day morning, before Recorder
Sponberg arrived in Paris from
Montpelier, one Of the Post clique
presented a contract, drawn by
himself, to the commissioners for
their approval. 1t provided that
all notices should be set in BREWER,
but did not specify whether it
should be solid" or "leaded," al
though the specifications expressly
provided they should be set in
"so1id" type. By some method
the management of the Post in
duced the commissioners to accept
and sign this contract before the
clerk arrived. Had Mr.. Sponberg
been present, or been allowed to
do what the commissioners order
ed him to perform, this loop hole
would not have been left open.
But he wasn't, and, strangely
enough, the county board allowed
the Post to dictate and, write its
own agreement, and last weeks
issue shows that it did it to the
taxpayers detriment and not in
accordance with the specifications
on which it bid.
The Post in its first published
report showed how it proposed to
fitch the county, for it double
loaded every line of proceedings
making one-third more exactly
than it is entitled too according to
the specifications. It's bill for this
work will be $31.2O. According to
its bid would be $21. The Ex.
AMINER's price according to its bid
would be about $27. If the com.
missioners allow such a claim the
EXAMINERS bid after all was the
lowest.
Nor is this all. The Post man
succeeded in having inserted in
this contract clause, which gives
them. SO they claim, all of the
county job work without bidding
for it, and of course, in that event,
at their own prices. Here the
people of the county will again
suffer.
1t now remains to be seen
whether Messrs. Grimmett, Booth
and Perkins, will submit to such
highway robbery as that which it
seems is about to be perpetrated
upon the county in this printing
business. If they do, the EXAM
INER will lose faith in their avow-
ed intention to be honest in giving
us an economical county adminis-
tration. Somehow, we think they
will be equal to the emergency,
and at their next session sit
squarely down on the Post and
this attempted steal. But if they
have signed such contract and
the Post people can make it stick
at law, then the board has been
buncoed and the people will pay
the freight

MUCK CHUCK GOES FREE
A Chinese Case Which Was Settled Out
of Court

The case against the Chinaman Muck
Chuck, charged with petty larceny, fell
fiat in Justice Owens court yesterday
morning, and the case was dismissed.
There was a good deal more back of
this case than the mere fact of one Chin
aman's having stolen package of groc-
cries from another The real cause of
the trouble had its inception in the boy
colt, which one faction, the See Yups,
are enforcing with more or less success
against the rival faction of Sam Yups
The complaining witness is a See Yup.
A few weeks ago he went into Sam
Yup store to buy some provisions. When
he received his packages he started out
but was met by Muck Chuck, who seized
them, and jerking them out of his arms,
ran away.
The Monaghan who had lost his pack
ages decided to prosecute the case and
made a complaint against Muck Chuck
At the time it was supposed that this
would reopen the factional strife in Chin
atown but it seems that the matter was
squared between the Celestials them
selves before the case came up for trial
At any rate when it was called yes
terday morning the case was dismissed
on motion of the defendant.

The Manufacture of Firearms

There has been more progress made
in the revolver trade in the past ten
years." said a Connecticut revolver
manufacturer to reporter, than in any
line Of trade that 1 know of. There was
time wheb even the old shioned, sir.-
gle barrel pistol could not be manufac-
tured to sell for less than 81 or even
more. That time has gone, and the sin
gle barrel pistol is thing of the past.
