A Reduction on Salt.

The price of stock salt has experienced
a tumble as the result OF the fight be-
tween the trust and the Great Western
plant, in Utah, which was purchased
recently by the Idaho Wool Growers
Association. Prior to this transfer the
price, +. O. b., was So. ton and the
yailroad tariff to this territory was 80,
or $3.50 to the stockmen. The railroad
reduced the rate to So, however. Then
the trust cut the price to $3.50. The
independent plant met it. The trust
then shaved it to So 80, which the Utah
plant again met. There the price rests
for the present. With the freight,
stockmen here now get their salt for
$1,000, as against $3.50 prior to the
first of March. Caldwell Tribune.

On the Diamond.

Are we to have base ball team
in Montpelier this summer? That is
the question which. is being agitated
among the local "fans" just at pres
ent. We have material here for
cracker jack team, with the excep-
ton of a pitcher, and al. Bresee
says that he can get pitcher on
short notice, If the club is organized
1t will require some financial sup
port from business men to keep
team going. The Commercial club
will take the matter up at its next
meeting, and will doubtless make
arrangements to give team some
assistance. AL Bresee has already re
-eeived letter from Pocatello, ask
ing if our team could play at the
Gate City OH April 90, with the
promise of a return game here
shortly after that. If we are to
have team it should be organized
at the earliest date possible SO the
players could begin to practice. 1t
would be long, dreary summer
without any baseball games, so let
every ''fan'' put his shoulder to the
wheel and help get the club organ

The last answer came from the lame
matchmaker, who had kept his eyes
fixed on me with a close scrutiny dur
ing the whole conversation. It was
evident that this man was more eau

I was able to guess what had hap

more docile tool.
I sent off a third wire:

This warning was not even shown
