WHY BEAR LAKE FEELS GOOD.

Times will be better in Bear Lake during 1903 than

mas enjoyed abundant prosperity for long time the
reason that 1908 will be much is because the
pie have paid their taxes kept up and ranches
and although they haven't sold any cattle yet have man
aged to keep clear of borrowing any great extent Just
now oatte are moving to market oats bringing good
price, hay in demand at good figure and the chances
for plenty OF water next year fattering.
Then during the year an immense amount of money
will be spent several big irrigation and other large an
terprises.

The ruin OF the owners is part Of the his

The War Minister is reported to have
spoken strongly in the Council against
any thought of Bulgaria declaring war on
Turkey; first on account of the enormous
expenditure that such war would in

Powers would never permit Bulgaria to
reap the advantage if she were victorious
Should Turkey attack Bulgaria, declared
the Minister, the present army could hoIo
