Under the Insurance rules and
regulations in force in this city
every policy has to be approved
by the Stamping Secretary, so it's
impossible to get policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow
ed out. In other words, every in
surance company charges the
same rates. 1t is then simply a
question Of which is the best COM
pany, as all charge the same
rates. The above companies are
old established insurance compan-
les, pay your losses promptly and
without any quibbling. Select
your company, and in choosing
any Of the above named COM
panies you can make no mistake.
We can insure you in any of the
companies above named. We do
not advertise big companies in
our agency and then write
your policy in a small, unknown
company. If you want insurance
in the big Hartford you can get it
from US. If you burn down or
are damaged by fire you can have
your insurance for the asking.

THE STAR VALLEY ROAD.

Montpelier business men should
respond as literally as possible when
waited upon by the committee ap-
pointed to solicit funds for lmprov-
ing the Star Valley road. The
people of that section are determined
to haye better road, and will sub
scribe generously for that purpose.
This is the natural distributing
point for that valley, but if we do
not give them the relief they de-
mand and are entitled to, there is a
strong probability that road will
be put through from Cokeville. 1t
would cost large sum to construct
a road from Cokeville, but we have
been told that there is earnest talk
of doing it unless the present road
Is improved. Montpelier cannot af-
ford to lose the Star Valley trade
and even though it should be impos.
sible to build a road from Cokeyille,
our citizens should show their ap-
PROBATION of the trade received
from the people of that section by
subscribing at least $500 for the
Improvement of the road. The Star
Valley people will contribute double
that amount These sums, aug
mented with proper appropriations
from the commissioners of Bannock
and Bear Lake counties, would be
sufficient to put that road IN condi-
ton SO that at least light loads could
be hauled over il even in the worst
seasons of the year. Nearly every
dollar subscribed by our citizens
would be expended for labor by
those who would put it in circulation
again right here in town. Then,
with the road improved we believe
that more people would come here
from Star Valley and the trade of
our merchants would be thus in
creased. We owe it to the people
of Star Valley to give them a better
road and $500 is the very least
amount that should be subscribed In
Montpelier.
