PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

The prevalence of diphtheria in the county calls
for prompt action the part of the county board of
health Dr. West, the county physician, is exerting
every means IN his power to stamp the epidemic
and ne IS ably seconded by Drs Hoover, Poynter and
Auguire, but ework of these gentlemen will come
to naught if the people do not uphold and obey the
quarantine regulations. The people themselves, being
the most interested should to it that all the regu-
lations of the county board strictly enforced and
promptly reportany violations to the officers in charge

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.

The EXAMINER hopes that the board of county
commissioners will provide for the building of a fire
proof vault at the court house in Paris AS it is there
IS no protection for records important papers or anv
tnlng else IN case OF fire. This matter ought to be at
tended to right away Should fire DESTROY the conrt
house and it's records untold oss ltigaton ETC. would
fall upon the people Of the county, These records are
too valuable to take chances on and the commissioners
cannot do more praiseworthy than to provide for
and build secure vault over there

BEAR LAKES VALUATION.
Montpslier's Big Increase.
Is -~1Q-sLl1 K


County Auditor Hart has made up his abstract OF
the assessed valuation of Bear Lake county for the
Year l9Oi 1t shows total assessed valuation in the
county, outside the railway, telegraph and telephone
4lneS OF $aO34, 5O0 Last year the same assessment
showed S965, 5,64zIhe state board of equalization addN
ed to tnfs "a l85 making total except RAILWAYS and
Wire ines or 1868 82 gain for the year of S64 676
Last year the railway, telephone telegraph,
this county assessed at 1892 327 This year it
will run 100000 and this added to this year's
other property will make the assessed valuation Of
Bear Lake county for 1901 ST. 435, ,508 as against
total of 118 for 1900 No doubt before the state
board OF equalization gets through they will raise this
years assessment sufficient to make it 81 500 600 or
gain OF nearly $140OO0 In face of this low tax lew
for state and county purposes may be looked for
The surprising thing about the assessment returns
IS the big ncreasein Montpeers property valuation
For 1901, not counting the railway telegraph tee-
phone lines, it is $3l4 900 Last year it was 1926 600
year the gain will be S45 OOo or in other words the
total valuation of Montpelier for 1901 will be S375Ooo
The tax levy has been fixed seven mills thus showing
to the city from this source of nearly So 575
or 200 more than estimated
Another feature is disclosed by the returns and
that is that outside OF Montpelier there less prop
erty accounted for than last year by OOO while
Montpelier makes this up, and adds $64 600 more the
increase already shown In other words the town of
Montpelier seems to be getting it's share of the tax
burden and then The report scloses evidences
Justlfyng, what many have long conended that Mont
peer has higher assessment than the rest of the
county. This city now pays nearly one-third of the
taxes OF the county and it represented at the
court house by even a county commissioner who is
resident of the city.

MON XTGOMERY'S
HEAD MAY DROP
House Up In Arms Over Speakers
Charge of Bribery
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE

Denver, Feb. S-Despite the
indications from the publication
in morning paper of an interview
saying that Speaker Montgomery
had charged former Speaker
Smith with attempting to bribe
members of the legislature, the
session this morning was quiet.
There is however strong feeling
prevalent that Montgomery should
be deposed as house speaker. In
fact majority of the house mem
bers are in favor of that action.
Mr.. Lubers announced before the
house assembled that he would
lead a fight to depose the speaker.
When routine business bad been
ordered Mr.. O'Connell of Clear
Greek county rose TO a question of
personal privilege and asked that
the interview published this morn
ing be read He then read reso-
luton which he asked the house
to pass, providing for the appoint
ment of committee of five to in
vestigate the charges made by
Montgomery. The resolution was
seconded by Mr. Lubers, who pro-
posed an amendment to the effect
that the committee should have
power to summon witnesses and
take testimony. The amendment
was passed without a dissenting
vote.
Mr. Montgomery then said that
he preferred that the vote on the
resolution 90 over until tomorrow
morning, as the interview in which
he WAS quoted, while being sub
stantially correct, was not just as
it was stated, and he wished to
have its reading changed Under
the rules this was agreed to.
In an interview at noon today
Speaker Montgomery declared that
he could prove without the shad-
ow of doubt that money had
been paid to some mem bets of the
house and had brep offered to
others who refused it He also
reiterated the stat. ment that all
money SO paid was by Mr. Smith,
who was speaker of the house in
the Twelfth general assembly.
Montgomery charges were the
ou,come of change of sentiment
regarding section Al of the revenue
bill now before the house. The
section gives Hsaessors iGquisltoriHl
rights. 1t was passed on Monday,
but yesterday afternoon 1t was re-
considered and the section killed.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.


If you want to sell, list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-one to whom peo-
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises literally, far and wide, for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
If you want to buy, go to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title,
1t your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones Most of us can't af-
ford to take them If you cant,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is response
bic citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rates-he don't let
business get away from him by
charging more than others that
would be ridiculous.
Loans made when security IS
satisfactory.
Deeds, mortgages, leases and the
like, drawn skillfully on short no.
tice
Notary public always in the Of
fee.
Expert stenographer and type
writer in office-all kinds of work
skilfully and promptly executed at
reasonable prices.
many choice properties, including
location considered, are
lsy terms; such as small payment
ts. Also sell lots in all the addi-
and vicinity.
