the junction town do grow.
General Manager Bancroft Of the
Short Line and officials of this road and
of the Rio Grande Western, passed
through town Friday en- route for Sill
yer Bow and other points in Montana
1t is said the northern gateway is also
to be opened to all lines, thus making
the Short Line an effectual go between
for all roads.
Attorney General Mcfarland has
given an opinion that trustee appoint
ed to fill vacancy caused by the death
of another, is entitled to hold such
office during the full unexpired term
for which the deceased was elected,
where such appointment was made
prior to the 18th day of May, 1897.
On the second Of the month when No.
2fgot to Granger, it was met with orders
to proceed no further as the U. P.
Ytrain would pick up the Short Line
| passengers at this point. The order
was wholly unexpected, Supt Van
Housen, whose private car was attached
to No. 2, knowing nothing Of the change
until be get to Granger.
Beet sugar factories are being started
all over the west. Why not have one
here in Bear Lake. We believe as good
sugar beets can be raised in this section
as anywhere in the world and the enter
prise on a small scale ought to pay.
Montpelier sends out thousands of
dollars every year for sugar which
ought to be kept at home
The new change on the Short Line
has taken off one passenger engine crew
Mr.. Chapman. The crews run has
been changed also. They will leave
here in the evening going west, at Po-
catello they will turn and come back
with No. 2, going on through to Gran
ger without changing engines. This
will necessitate the crews being away
from home for 4S hours and at home "a
hours. The change works quite hard
ship on passenger men as they all live
ia, this city.
Genial attorney and counsellor at law
Sam j. Rich, has returned to his old
home in gay and festive Paris, Idaho;
and has taken with him the respect and
well wishes of scores of the best people
of this countY.-<Mr. Rich is an able
lawyer and we regret to see him leave.
We are not particularly sorrow that
Logan doesn't need 80 many good law
yers, but we are sorry Mr.. Rich is not
one Of the few to remain here We
understand that it is Mr.. Rich's inten-
tion to settle down In the Snake river
country in about a year and in the
meantime will visit his old home ofNthe
shores of Bear Lake.-Logan Journal.
An EXAMINER scribe asked w. d.
Ream this week how the outlook was
for crops this year. He answered, "the
outlook is as good as have ever seen in
Bear Lake Everything points TO an
f1nmease Yield in grains and hay. The
past weeks rains have added great
deal to the favorable outlook, and they |
have think, extended pretty generally
over the valley. If the market is favor.
able Bear Lake farmers will be in it
this year." Mr.. Ream is one OF the
largest farmers in the valley and the
EXAMINER is glad that he looks for so
much for our citizens.
Brakeman Charles Fordin was arres-
ted at Beaver Canon May 2s on the
charge of murder, 1t being claimed that
he killed hobo on train No. 27, east of
Beaver Canon, by knocking him off the
brake beam with rock. Upon the
evidence Of some of the dead mans
companions, the coroners jury found
Fordin guilty. At his preliminary ex-
animation, which was held at Dubois
yesterday, Fordin produced convincing
proof that he did not throw the stone
and was in no wise responsible for the /
mans death. He was therefore dis
charged from custody, which is graft.

# we are to judge the financial con- J
dition of the people in the various coun-
ties of the state by the length of the {
delinquent tax lists now appearing in;
the official organs of the counties, it is
quite evident that IN some localities
ths people are not burdened with sur
plus of cash. Blaine and Shoshone {
counties have the largest delinquent {
lists that we have noticed In Blaine
county over 900 people wers compelled
to let their last years taxes go delin-
quent while in Bannock county the
number hardly exceeds 300. In fact ,
there are but few counties in the state
