probable that the trustees will select

Tuesday workmen started to re-

but found it to be in such bad con

ERECT TWO STORY BLOCK.
The First National Bank Will Build
Next Spring on Property Re.
Gently Purchased. :

We are authorized by E. A. Bur
rell, cashier of the First National
bank, TO announce that at the meet
ing of directors, held last Monday.
IT was decided TO erect two story
brick block on the lots recently pur-
chased by the bank at the corner cf
Main and Tenth streets. However.
after fully considering the proposi-
tion, it was decided to defer the
erection Of the building until next
year, but it is the intention to have
the contracts let and everything in
readiness to begin work at the earl-
est date possible next spring.
The building will be larger than
the one contemplated by Mr..
O'Neill, which Will necessitate the
drawing of new plans. 1t will have
frontage of 46 feet on Main street
and 50 feet on Tenth street. The
walls on both streets will be of
pressed brick, and the building
throughout will be strictly modern.
1t Will be equipped SO that connec-
ton cab be made with water mains
as soon as system is Installed.
The corner room will be occupied
by the bank, and will be furnished
with handsome bank fixtures. The
adjoining room will be rented for q
store room. The second floor will
be Arranged for office rooms.
The block will add greatly to the
appearance of that portion of town
and the Examiner congratulates the
officers of the bank for the enter
prise they have shown and for their
discrimination to assist in the hp
building of our city.

While the tax levy in Bear Lake

than it was last, there is some satis-
faction in knowing that in major

levy is higher than ours. In Nez

in Idaho, the levy is $l.45, which is
within ene cent of being as high as
in this county, while In eight of the

rejoice that they have been awakened
from their long slumber. We hope
that they may prosper, but let them
shonld not be made the bone for
the people of another land whose
ideals are not our ideals and whose
blood will not mix with the blood
of the white race. The OrlenIals
are law abiding people and they
are frugal, but they lower the wages
Of our working people, and they
are not in sympathy with our lnsti-
tutions. To refuse them entrance
may be selfish: but it is seltishness
that Is due our country and due the
generations get unborn.
1.-The people who come from the
Mediterranean coast and from
Russia are not their best people.
Some who come are, but largely they
are not. They tend to cut down the
wages of our worklngmen, and
lower the standard of our living.
They foster discomfort and strife.
They scatter. the seeds of anarchy.
They tend to undermine our form
OF government, while they breed
crime and misery. Last year the
State of New York spent vast
amount of money upon her criminals
and paupers and other helpless ones,
and startling as it may seem more
than half of this amount was spent
upon people brought from foreign
lands. Last year, it has been esti-
mated, the various states and
municipal organizations spent $50
100000 to care for this class that
has been dumped upon our shores.
The time has come to stop. The
time has come when only those
should be made welcome who are of
the white race, and who love our
ideals. We are ADVERTISING now.
We are bidding for trade now, and
now Is the time to speak plainly.
We want immigration, but we want
good immigration. We want people
to come who will love our institu-
tions, who will support our fagI
who will be ready TO do and I'd
sacrifice for our country's greatnessl
"1f We nave guard upon the
new blood that will constantly be
infused, if then we teach our people
to uphold our institutions and our
ideals for which our fathers fought.
then shall We have country worthy
of the name, fit for us to enjoy. and
tit for us as sons of brave sires to
pass on down to our posterity.'' y

AN IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Congressman French Talks on I'm
migration--Is an Important
Factor In Our Nation.

In his address at Portland on
'Idaho Day." Congressman French,
after recounting the story of the up
building of the Pacific Northwest in
general and Idaho III particular,
dwelt at some length opon the char
acter OF the people as being the
most important factor in any state
or in any nation. Upon this point
he spoke as follows:
"a river cannot rise above the
rivulets which feed it's fountain
head, neither can nation be greater
than the average citizenship Of it's
people. And right here let me say
we cannot guard too zealously tie
quality of the people who come to
our shores. At a time like this when
we are bidding for commerce, when
we are bidding for immigration it Is
time to think, and time to act. We
want people, we want immigration,
but we want wholesome immigra-
ton. Today, in my opinion, the
greatest problem that we have to
solve is the handling of the un
American element that is focking
to our llnd. Last year over mil
hon people came, the year before
almost million, and during many
years a number III almost like pro-
portion. Most of these people are
desirable, but some are not. Most
of them make good citizens, but
others do not. In Idaho we have
large population of Scandinavian
and Germanic people, including, of
course, people from Denmark and
Holland. We have some from the
British Islands and some from
France, and they are good people
They are class that we welcome to
our shores. They make good citi-
zens for they are good citizens in
the countries from which they come.
And what is true in Idaho, is true
in Oregon and Washington. The
Northwest Is favored beyond any
other portion of our country. But
because we are SO favored, we can
not be blind to the dangers that
threaten our country at large, aye,
and threaten our own northwest.
.sLast year over half a million
people came to this country from
Italy and Russia. and from other
Black Sea aud Mediterranean coun-
tries. This is the class that very
largely makes up the un-American
class in the United States today. 1t
represents one-half of our immIgra-
tion. But they are not the only
people we do not want We do not
want the people from the Orient.
Success has come to them and we
