Ordered Transmission Wire.

0. III. Skidmore, the electrical en-
gineer, was in from Georgetown
over Sunday. He reported that they
are getting things in shape and will
soon be able to make quite a show
ing on the electric hight plant. The
saw mill has about half the lumber
out for the pipe line, and Tuesday
surveyors began running the survey
for the transmission line between
Georgetown and Montpelier.
While in the city Sunday Mr..
Skldmore and President Brennan
placed the order with. a representa-
tive from Salt Lake house for the
transmission wire, which Is to be
delivered within sixty days. The
order calls for 40 miles of No. 4
stranded ALUMINIUM wire. This
wire Is twice the size OF copper wire
used for that purpose but weighs
less than half what he same amount
of copper wire would.

Met With Serious Accident.

Yesterday evening Mrs. P. J.
McDermott met with an accident
that will confine her 10 her bed for
three or four months. While walk
ing across the kitchen she trlpped
on the linoleum and fell to the fiosr
in such manner as to cause bad
fracture of the neck of the left
femur, the large bone of the leg.
Drs. Poynter and Guyon were
hastily summoned and set the frac.
tured bone and Mrs. McDermott
was reported today as resting as
comfortably as could be expected.
The injury is of such nature that
1t would be serious one with a
perfectly healthy person but 1t will
be especially severe on Mrs. Nc
Dermott on account Of her some.
what enfeebled condition. Her
numerous friends sincerely sympa-
thize with her in her hours of suf.
fering.

Talk on Fire Protection.

The heavy loss by fire at Idaho
Falls las. week should serve as
strong reminder to the citizens Of
Montpelier that this town has no
fire protection. This state of affairs
should not exist In a town the size
of Montpelier, and a united and
vigorous effort should be made to
establish some method by which a
fire could be fought should one,
break out IN the business portion
Of town. With the best of water
svstems and efficient fire depart
ments, fire sometimes destroys mil
lions Of dollars worth of property,
but that Is no argument why Mont
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1904-09-23

peller should be without the best
protection that it is possible to Oh
tain, commensurate with the clty's
wealth. Don't walt until after the
town has experienced big fire, to
talk water works or fire protection
Of some kind, but prepare now to
Dattle with the fire demon, for we
know not at what hour the unex-
pected may happen.
We call to mind the experience
of our old home town In Iowa 1t
was town of 5000 inhabitants
and for years had no water works
or method of fighting fire, except
volunteer hand brlgades. The prop
osition Of bonding the town for the
purpose Of putting in water sys-
tenn had been defeated at two differ
ent elections, through the influence
of two or three heavy property
owners and "old foggies" who were
opposed TO municipal improvements
of all kinds. Well, the town got
along very nicely without water
works for a good many years, but
finally the unexpected happened.
One night fire broke out in drug
store and when the flames were sub.
dued, property to the value Of
$5O0,oO0 had gone up in smoke. In
six months afterwards the PROPOSE
tion to put in water works carried
by an overwhelming majority. The
town has since had fires but the
volunteer fire department, with the
aid of good water system, has sue
ceeded in confnlng the flames to
the building II which the fire start
ed. The same story is true of many
other towns, but this is an age of
progression and Montpelier should
keep pace with other towns of SIM
liar size III the state and provide
means for protecting property
against the rayages of fire.

GRAVE CHARGES.
Former Chief Clerk at Penitentiary
Accused Of Falsifying
Accounts.

Last month when the charges of
irregularities were preferred against
Q. B. Kelly, chief clerk at the pen
ltentiary, his friends here were
greatly surprised and some Of them
were confident that an investigation
would show that there was nothing
Of serious nature in connection
his with accounts.
Kelly was suspended on August
18th, and an expert was employed
to examine the books. The expert
filed his report Monday with the
prison board. The report is quite
voluminous, covering 80 pages of
typewriter matter, and goes into
every detail of the penitentiary &C
counts. In it he is charged with.
having kept books iii s'grossly
irregular and fraudulent Manner"
and the report throughout is far
from complimentary to Mr.. Kelly,
which his friends in Montpelier Will
certainly regret to hear.
The charges against him are sum-
med up in the following extracts
from the report of the expert:
THAT the books of accounts of the
Idaho state penitentiary affecting trans
actions in said institution during the
period beginning February l, 1908, and
ending August 10Th, 1904, have been
kept ny the chief clerk, Mr.. 9. B.
Kelly, in a grossly irregular and fraud
ulent manner.
2-That he has withdrawn funds of
the institution by false and fictitious
entries in the accounts Of said institu-
ton, and failed TO keep the same in his
possession until paid out by authority
of law.
3-That he has changed and convert
ed the funds of said institution from the
original currency in which received TO
other currency.
THAT he has knowingly kept said
accounts falsely, made false entries
therein and relating to the same.
5-That he has fraudulently altered
and falsifed said accounts

Nevertheless, the Constitution, Arti-

that mo person holding any Office I'M

no escape from these conclusions. If

vacant, the Constitution of Pennsylva-
