months, probably a quarter
of a million wool producers.
Then again the altitude of The
county. The commissioner says
that Bear Lake is $4,000 feet above
the sea level" The government re-
port says we are 5000 feet above the
sea. Some may not think this is in
our favor, but we do not consider it
SO. High attitudes always mean
healthy communities.
What he says about Bear Lake is
true, except as to it's being great
storehouse for water, etc. Bear
Lake farms are irrigated from Bear
River, which does not touch Bear
Lake, and from numerous small
streams coming out of the foot hills.
AS to the floating debt of the
county there is evidently a mistake
somewhere. The last statement of
auditor and treasurer shows that for
the year ending Jan. $1,000 all the
''funds" of the county have 'scash
on handN in them, sufficient tomore
than pay all outstanding floating
debts. The people of Bear Lake
have generally believed that we had
no floating debt and the county Of
ficers reports seem to sustain this
view. We would like to ask Basset,
therefore, where he got his inform
alton. The people of Bear Lake
would like some light on this subject.
The report is not such as we ex-
pected, and if the other counties are
represented as is Bear Lake, the re-
port will not be hailed as very good
document to advertise the state.
Bear Lake only wants the facts pub
lished concerning her, These are
good enough, and they could have
been had by addressing any one Of
dozens Of citizens in this county.

Report as Commissioner OF
Immigration.

annual Report. AS Regards Bear Lake
County hers is what he says:
"Beag Lake county was organized
January 5, 1875. It's population is
5000. It is chiefly an agricultural
county, the cereals that are the
most profitable being wheat and
oats, though barley is grown extern
siyely. The valley is not adapted
so fruit culture except to more
hardy varieties, though come very
good apples are raised IL some parts
Of the county, It is q good graz
ing country. The ranges for many
miles are covered with luxuriant
growth of bunch grass very nutri-
tious for stock. Stock raising is
one of It's principal industries and
the profits IN this business, owing
to the good range, are quite salts
factory. There are some sheep in
the country. There is no timber
in the valleys, but the mountain
ranges are covered with a thick
growth Of pine, balsam, aspen, ma
hogany and cedar. The mineral
resources of the county have not
yet been developed. Paris, the
county seat is coed town Of about
$500 population. Montpelier is
also good town, located on the
Oregon Short Line, the end of
freight division where repair shops
are maintained. There are mum
Der of smaller towns in the county,
the centers of prosperous agricultur-
al communities. There are three
large deposits of a fine quality OF
marble and onyx neal Paris that
arc being developed by local capl'
Jalists. The altitude of Bear Lake
county above the sea level is 5000
feet. The great Bear lake is fine
body of water filed with large trout,
the delight Of sportsmen, and is the
uast etornhnuse of water for irrioat
ing the rich lands Of the county. Tho
Bear lake is beautiful stretch OF
fresh water with an area of 12x1s
miles. The Bear lake hot springs
are located on the lake and arc
reached from Montpelier or from
Fish Haven by means Of the natura
turnpike across the lake from THU
point.

SOME COMMENTS. st
We don't know any thing about
the other counties, but the commits
sioner's description of Bear Lake is
woefully inaccurate, and while we
don't want to criticize any work,
that has for it's object the upbuild-
ing of Idaho, still we cannot help
but think that in some respects not
as much effort was made to ascertain
the facts as should have been. For
instance: The commissioner credits
Bear Lake with 5000 population.
If we mistake not the last census.
ten years ago, gave Bear Lake over
5000, and our county is more thick
~ populated than it was then, until
to-day we are confident that very
close to ten thousand souls reside
with its confines. At the last cleo
ton we polled some 24oo votes,
which on the basis, as computed in
Wyoming where equal suffrage is in
vogue, would give this county near
" 10000 population.
Then again the commissioner says
that $500 people, or one half the
county's population according to his
figures, reside in Paris. We believe
Paris has never claimed more than
1900, even at present. Montpelier
is called 'sgood town." and there
are several other "towns," leaving
the inference that Montpelier's popu-
lation must be only few hundreds,
while in fact it equals if not exceeds
| Paris number.
Then again hesayst there are "some
sheep in the county, If he will
come down here along about the mid
die of May we can, In couple of
hours ride, show him some hundreds
of thousands. The commissioner
has probably taken his data for this
assertion from the assessment returns
and these returns show only 10, 100
sheep. But nevertheless the county
has on its ranges, at least during the
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1900-04-06

since 1898 of 226.
Number Of cattle, common stock,

mortgage aside, and in doing so de-
clared that when the lumber was or
dered Howard ''and his agents." one of
whom was Chester r. Smith, knew that
the mortgage was a frand, and that it
was negotiated with view to beating the
lumber company out Of It's just dues.
REASON 3.
Because, even If he is to regarded
as an entirely estimable man in private
life, nothing in his career shows that he
is qualified for or entitled to the office
beyond any other resident of st. Paul.
Who ever heard of Chester r. Smith
in connection with the political life of
the community until his appearance as
chairman of the county committee of his
party? Who ever considered him as in
any sense an available man for public
station until Mayor Kiefer, over whose
claims to denomination he rose to his
present prominence, brought him out as
his candidate for appointment to the of
fice of city assessor? What movement for
the advantage of the city has he ever
been Identified with? What sacrifice of
time or money has he ever made in the
city,s interest? He has bought and sold
real estate. He has attended strictly to
his own private affairs Neither in the
past nor present has he ever spoken

POLICY Of PARTY G|VEN
JUDGE JOHNSON TELLS WHAT
LINES WILL BE FOLLOWED
By THE DEMOCRACY
ALI QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Possible Candidncy of Admiral
Dewey Is Referred to as an I'm
known Quantity in the
Conditions.

PEABODY, Kan. April H-Hon. Judge
Johnson, Democratic committeeman for
Kansas and vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic national executive committee, to-
day, IN response to a telegram pro-
pounding five questions relative to the
coming campaign, telegraphed as fol-
lows:
On what issues will the Democrats
go into the fight for PRESIDENT Answer:
Denunciation of the money trust, with
its policy of currency contraction by the
retirement Of greenbacks; empire with
colenialism and militarism and carpet
baggism and world alliances rampant /:
denunciation Of commercial and indus
trial trusts and monopolies, the out
growth of McKinley's tariffs and the fos-
ter children of McKinleyism, past pres
ent and future; for tariff revision and
Democratic officials to crush the trusts.
demand for income tax, that he who has
may share the governmental burdens
with he who must have, and demand
that interstate corporation employees be
protected by national legislation from
coercion blacklisting and kindred out
RACES.
Question 2.-'What change, If any will
be made in the platform of 1862 An
swered above.
Question 3.-If Dewey runs as an in
dependent candidate for president. what
effect will his candidacy have on the
Democratic party? Difficult to estimate.
Am certain Mr.. Bryan will be elected
anyway.
Question 4-'What do you think Bry-
ans vote will be on the first ballot at
Kansas City,? Think no name but Mr..
Bryan's will be presented to the Kansas
City convention for president, and that
he will be nominated by acclamation
Question 5.-'Who is your. choice for
vice PRESIDENT / have no present choice
for vice president. Any good man who
is an ideal Democrat, viz, one who in
sists that this shall be a government of
and by the people, not dominated by In
fiuences which use the government to
help them traffic In the necessities of the
common people, will suit me, and the
allied forces which expect to elect him -
