No hlnt OF whal ir0nsplred at the con-

at O'Clock over the o. II. & n, for

out that the party will be absent four or

keep out in the future, AS 70 the matter
OF traokage rights. the best opinion holds
that the o, r, & N, will give them, pro-
vlded the terms can be arranged.
The natural assumption is that the
Northern Pacific will hold out for the
lowest reasonable charge, and that the

thinks the Northern Pacific will pay in
preference to building down the Colum-
bIa. 1t looks as n crisis must be
reached very soon.

delayed rapid growth, there are /
some things that must be done or
at least started.
One of them is to open the streets
about town and give the people a
chance to know where they are at.
One or two streets can be opened
this year, some next and so on till
all the throughfares in the city are
/ put through where they should be.
Another thing: The road to
Star valley should be put in better
condition, and an effort be made
to make connection with the jack
sons Hole country, thus securing
q large part of the National Park
trade for this city.
! Another: Some definite move
should be made looking to the in
stalling of system of water works.
It's true this is big undertak ing,
but it will have to be faced sooner
or later, and the quicker we take
hold Of it the quicker Montpelier
will have system.
And then there are the streets to
grade and the usual amount Of
work to be done on them; The pa
vllion is to be finished for use ii
, this and future years.
These are just few things that
are needed. Their are more, but
the above are the most important
: and move should be made look
ing to their contamination.

-----
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Ten years ago there was scarcely a
town or city in America that owned its
own water works or it's lighting plant
Now nearly one-third Of the towns and
cities own either one or both and at the
present rate of advancement on the
line of municipal ownership, in less
than twenty years from now there will
not be private corporation operating
either water or light for public service
in any city or town in this country
The people have learned that a fran
chise is privilege and not a contract
and can be revoked at the will and
pleasure of the municipality granting
it. Wallace Tribune.
Montpelier ought to step in now
and help to make the one third
one-half, by putting in and own
ing its own water-works system.
