New York, AT I 1O.-In the course
Of his sermon in Plymouth Church,

in part.
"The saddest words that have been
written in this generation were spo-
ken before Brown University by a
young man, who is to inherit one of
the greatest fortunes in this country.
They were spoken in defense Of -he
trusts. Listen to them:
THE American beauty rose can be
produced in all its splendor by sacri-
flcing the early buds that grow up
around it, The rose has 1000 buds,
and in order to produce the American
beauty the gardener goes around It
with a knife and snips 999, in order
that all the strength and beauty may
be forced into one bloom. In his eco
nomic argument. this young man tells
the working classes brutally that 999
small business men must be snuffed
out of existence in order that this
American beauty, the trust, may be
produced. Listen to Christ; Let the
strong bear the burdens of the weak; .
and again: Give, and it shall be given
unto you.
"These words in defense Of the
trusts are the most heart breaking
things in literature to those who know
what is going to come in the future.
Can you wonder that, after that, when
a man gives gifts, we have no graft
tude to return"

Trenton. n. j.. April 1O.-The Tren-
ton Advertiser printed an authorized
interview with General Superintendent
Frank L. Sheppard of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company, in which Mr.
Sheppard said that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company would have 500 men
employed in its new shops In this city
before January l next. Mr.. Sheppard
also said that in the near future this
number would be materially increased.
The scarcity of houses in Trenton
prompted Mr.. Sheppard to express the
hope that this difficulty would be over
come by Trenton builders, so that the
men employed at the shops could live
in Trenton. It is understood that the
building of these new shops in Tren-
ton will mean the abandonment OF the
shops at Lambertville n. j., and the
transferring to Trenton Of a large part
of the work now done at the Meadow
shops in Jersey City.

If Montpelier's rickety old side
walks will eyer be replaced with

If Barney O'Neill ever really in
tended to start a bank in Mont
pelier?
If the girls of Montpelier will al
ways go to the dances alone and
then let the young men escort them
home?
How many dogs inc Montpelier
have had the tax paid on them this
year?
If the two school districts in
Montpelier will ever be converted
into an Independents district and
high school established?
If the Commercial Club is ever
going to try and organize a fair
association here?
If some of our subscribers ever
wonder how we are going to pay
our bills if they don't pay their sub
scriptions?
Who will be appointed council
man from the third ward, to succeed
Jim Redman?
If the Montpelier pos.office will
always be cooped up in its present
pigeon-hole quarters?
If some of the young people
wouldn't vote against haying more
arc lights placed about town, if the
proposition was left to them?

The experts make some recon-
mendations In regard to the manner
of bookkeeping In the assessors
office which, if followed, will pre-
vent any discrepancies in the future
by assessors.
While it is matter of regret
that any one of the former or pres
ent officials was found to be short
In his or her accounts, it is also u
matter of great satisfaction to know
that in each case the mistakes were
of the head and not of the neart.
w e do not believe there is person
in the county who will attach the
least blame or impugn the honesty
and integrity of any one of these
officials. The mistakes were such
as any person, not accustomed to
keeping county records, would be
liable to make.
The amounts due from the several
officials will no doubt be paid to the
county, which will thus be $1,000
ahead, after deductlng the cost of
exporting the records.

of the fact. The company has also
been furnished with description of
the valley, that is the distance each
settlement is from the railroad and
such other facts regarding climate,
soil, etc., as the company desired.
Mr.. Clark said that the Sugar COM
pany was now probably conferring
with the Short Line people relative
to the question of location and the
construction of branch road to the
factory should it be located on the
west. side OF the valley. Until this
question is settled between the Sugar
company and the railroad company,
it will not be known definitely
whether factory will be located IN
the valley at all, or not.

BEAR LAKES WEALTH.
The Assessed Valuation This Year
is $1,l95,693, an Increase Of
$28,125 Over Last Year.

County Auditor Hart completed
the abstract Of the assessment roll
the first of the week, and forwarded
a copy of the same to the state aud
itor, as required by law, for use by
the state board of equalization,
which meets IN Boise next Monday.
The abstract shows the assessed val
uation of Bear Lake county for the
present year to be &l,l95, ,69a. This
will be increased probably $1,000 by
the assessment on transient sheep
vet to be secured and also by the
assessment of the railroad, telegraph
and telephone lines, which will be
made by the state board next week.
The valuation as reported to the
state auditor shows an increase of
1913, 125 over last year. If the state
board places the valuation on rail
road, telegraph and telephone lines
the same as it did last year, the
grand total valuation of Bear Lake
this year will be about $l,6lO, 900.
