THE NEW YEAR.

TIE new year opens with bright
prospects for Montpelier and Bear
Lake county. While the price of
cattle still continues low, yet all
other products are bringing good
price.
The outlook Tor Montpelier is
particularly bright as the following
will show:
The new Montpelier canal seems
assured. This canal will bring water
on to hundreds of acres of land near
this city, not now titled, and will
furnish an abundance Of water for
lands, which now only have. a scant
supply. Some IL, 200 acres will be
covered by the new canal and it will
cost about SIS, 200 to complete the
work. The cost will be met by an
issue of bonds running 90 years. X
The short Lines extensive~im-
provements at this point is leaving
a great amount Of money here, and
besides 1T assures a permanent di-
vision point III this city, with a
largely increased payroll. A new
depot, freight house and possibly a
hotel, are to be added to the other
new buildings now going up for the
railway company. tl
The mining CLAIMS are looking
very promising under.thls winters
development work, and some very
high grade ore has been struck.
Several of the companies expect TO.
have large shipments out by spring,
all of which will pass through this
city.
Other branches of industry also
present promising prospect for the
year.
Many new buildings are contem-
plated in early spring, and the rail-
way company's lead will no doubt
usher in great building boom for
the new year.
The county generally shows a
most prosperous condition. The
farmers are getting into a better po-
sltlon every year to largely increase
the supply, that has to meet a stead.
lily growing demand. All sorts of
farm products have brought top
prices the past year, except cattle.
Next year it is the intention to put
IN larger acreage of all sorts of
produce, than ever before. The de-
mand from the coal camps and other
sections for these farm products is
rapidly increasing and the Bear
Lake farmers propose to meet it by
increased production. Every dollar
that can be brought to this valley

the right hand by the accidental dis
charge of revolver in the hands of

under arrest, and later removed to the
city hospital.
The sound of the firing caused a pam
ic in the dance hall. Before Walcott
had chance to explain the shooting
the crowd was in an uproar and it
was some time before the police could
restore order.
They then placed Walcott under ar
rest, and held several other persons as
witnesses. The wife of Hall tainted
when she heard the shot and this so
added to the excitement that the pugi-
list narrowly escaped rough handling.

er be able to fight again.
Walcott said that he was exhibiting
magazine revolver of large caliber
to Hall when from some unknown
cause it was discharged. The bullet
passed through Walcott's hand and
