MONTPELIER.


After reading the article entitled
Bear Lake county" one would naturally
ask, what town is the commercial me-
troplis Of this rich section?" The answer
is, ''Montpelier.
Situated OH Montpelier creek ut the
mouth OF a canyon of the same name, is
the town above mentioned. The location
is an ideal one for city It's the largest
town along the Short Line, between Pc
catello 100 miles distant west] and KEN
merel II miles distant eastl, and Evan
ston 90 miles south. It is the shipping
and trading point for a majority Of the
people within a radius Of Is miles. 1t has
been estimated that $4,000 people do
their trading in Montpelier It is the
freighting point, the banking, telegraph,
express and general supply town for all
southeastern Idaho and western Wyo-
ming. 1t is backed by the most produc-
tive region in the west and the wonder is
that there are not 5000 or 10000 people
here instead of 1900. But it is growing
rapidly, and in a few years will reach the
proportions of q splendid city.
Besides the handling of the bulk of the
farm produce, all the freight, etc, of this
territory, Montpelier is a division point
on the Oregon Short Line railway. Here
are the homes of the train and shop en-
ployes, and their payroll amounts to from
$4,000 to $4,000 monthly. This aids mat
erially in keeping money constantly in
circulation.
Commercial travellers give Montpelier
credit for being one of the best towns in
the west as a business point. More
goods are shipped in, and more products.
OF the country, shipped out, than in most
towns ten times its size. What more is
needed to make town attractive to peo-
pie looking for locations?
Montpelier is an Incorporated city of
the second class, having mayor and coun-
cll and complete city government. The
city itself is entirely free from debt. and
for 1900 no city tax was levied, and vet
s., 900 was spent in public improvements.

OTHER CITIES AND TOWNS.

~ IL NIolCIJCllCl 10 CuG C0uU0F OF all
the rich Bear Lake country, there are
other towns in the county that are pros
porous and growing communities. We
will mention them in their order as to
size:
PARIS
Paris is situated across Bear Lake val
ley, ten miles southwest of MONTPELIER
on the main wagon thoroughfare of the
county. It has 900 inhabitants and a
city government like Montpelier. It is
also the county seat and the Mormon
stake headquarters for that church. Like
Montpelier it is located on magnificent
mountain stream the water from which
is carried in bitches to all parts of the
city. The place is noticeable in its fine
buildings, such as the stake tabernacle
and academy in course of erectionl, court
house and business blocks. There are
many elegant residences, surrounded by
large shade trees. The streets are broad
and beautiful and the people seem to be
as happy and contented as any found on
the globe.
Most OF the principal lines of business
are represented and thriving trade is
carried on. Paris like Montpelier, and
all other towns in the valley, offers invit-
ing homes and business chances to those

co.'s, an ardent Mckinley supporter spoke
very confidently of MekinleY's election, and
offered to make wager on it. Mr.. keene,
who was present, astonished the McKinleyits
and the whole party by offering to take up the
wager, as he rarely ever makes wagers, and
because he was Mckinley supporter foul
years ago. The McKinIeyite desired to make
the bet two to one on Mckinley, and Mr.
Keene sprang another surprise by declining :o
bet that way, and proposed to put up 1880
to $40, 600 that Bryan would defeat Mckinley.
The McKinleyite called upon several of his
friends to go into partnership with him. and

Crops in Oklahoma.

A letter received in New York from a prom.
inent bank in Kansas says: The wheat crop
in Oklahoma is made, aud harvesting com
menced with an excellent quality and an
acreage 20 per cent greater than last year.
A large area of corn has been planted and is
in fine condition. The great rains have al
ready insured the grass crop and early veget-
abIes Our wheat crop in Kansas is little
late, but has never been in better conditi on
than it is now. We have a 100000 acre
crop with all conditions unequalled. The
acreage of corn put in is estimated at $500,
900. 1t will probably be 100000. Our
tame grass crop is virtually made. So far
this season has been very promising. Fruit
and vegetables of all kinds are very plenty
and fine Cattle have wintered well; sheep
ditto. The wool crop is being now clipped
and marketed at Is and 20 cents per pound
in the rough, as against y to 8 in 1896. An
old farmer remarks that with present prices
of wool, an honest man could look sheep in
the face.

A Secret Understanding.

Senator Wellington made a notable speech
in the Senate on Monday. In advocating the
passage of resolution of sympathy for the
Beers, in their unequal struggle with the
mightiest nation of Europe, he took occasion
to denounce England as an enemy OF the
United States She was too weak, said the
Senator, to attack us with force, and she was
getting control and advantage 70 us by diplo-
macy and pretended friendship. In the course
of his remarks Senator Wellington expressed a
deep conviction that there was secret IN
derstanding between England and the Nc
Kinley Administration. This brought Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, TO the defence
of the Administration, but Senator yelling
ton adhered to his belief and strongly restated

This is very gratifying 10 the manufacturer

Unparalleled record is at the expense OF
the people OF the United States. A high tar

profits gathered in the home market enables
the manufacturer TO compete ia the foreign
markets. Nearly all. il not all, American
manufactures are sold TO Foreigners, freight,

chimes that the manufacturers charged from
$40 to $50 in the home market, we're sold Tor
$20to $25 in the foreign market. Piows that
were once sold to the home farmer at sl2,
were sold to Mexicans at S. All other man
ufactures were and are sold about in the same
ratio to home people and foreigners. The
profits of the manufacturers are mainly reaped
from home people; e. eigners are charged bat
a small margin of profit.
fthe manufacturers deny this, and Claim
that they can compete, with profit, in the for
eign market. let them give some good reason
for the government maintaining a tariff on
goods such as our manufacturers export. As
long as our manufacturers can export goods
at profit. no foreign manufacturer can send
his wares to this couesrY. This being true,
the government derives no revenue from the
