City Council Doings.

The city council met IN regular
session last Friday night with the
mayor presiding and all councilmen
present except Rich aud Hughart.
A communication was read from
C. H. Coffin of Chicago, relative to
the purchase of water works bonds
and the same was filed for future
reference.
Ordinance No. 70 was read the
first time. The ordinance provides
that permit must be obtalned from
The chief of police before the dead
body of any animal can be removed
from within the city limits. This
ordinance was introduced upon the
suggestion of Officer Burke, who
says that parties are in the habit of
conveying The bodies of dead dogs
just outside of the city limits and
leaving them unburied any old place.

who left yesterday for Logan to
make their future home, were ten
dered farewell reception at the
L. D. S. hall Monday night.
Friends to the number of nearly
one hundred assembled at the hall
to spend last evening with this
estimable couple who have so long
been residents of Montpelier. There
was music, dancing and general
good social time. Mayor Williams
made a short talk in which he ex.
pressed, on behalf of those present,
regret at the departure of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cederlund, but extended to
them the best wishes for health and
happiness in their new home. In
response. Mr.. Cederlund stated that
it was with a deep feeling of regret
that they were compelled TO leaye
those with whom they had been as
sociated for the past twenty-eight
years, but business conditions and
his health made 1t necessary for
them to make the change.
Owing to his health Mr.. Ceder-
l1nd was compelled to either give
up his position with the Salt Lake
Hardware company or be assigned
to territory in a lower altitude.
Not wishing to lose his services,
the company gladly made the change
for HIM, and gave him a field in
Utah, where the altitude is lower.

QUARTERS SELECTED
Postoffice Department Accepts Bid
Of 'lish" Strong.
NEW BUILDING TO BE ERECTED
For Postoffice West Of Nose Lewis
Store Government to Pay SIS a
Month for Ten Years.

Last Monday "Lish" Strong re.
ceived letter from F. H. Hitchcock,
first assistant postmaster general,
informing him that the department
had accepted his proposal for post
office quarters. The proposed build
ind is to be erected on Main street,
just west of Nose Lewis store. The
room for the postoffice is to be 20
feet, Q inches wide, by n feet long,
less reservation 10 feet wide by 80
feet long, which Mr.. Strong will
presumably rent to some one for a
cigar stand. For the room, with
fire proof vault, light, heat, fixtures,
etc, the government is to pay Mr..
Strong a monthly rental of VS., tor a
term of ten years. The building is
to be occupied by the postofiice on
July /, 1905, or as soon thereafter
as the structure is completed.
The decision of the postoffice de-
partment to accept the bid of Mr..
Strong has cansed considerable vail
ing and gnashing of teeth among
the Business men and patrons of the
Office, generally, in the upper part
of town. There is no denying the
fact that the location will not be
convenient for majority of the
patrons, but there is only one way
that the Office can be prevented from
going there and that is for some one
to make an offer equally as good as
that of Mr.. Strong's, backed by a
petition setting forth the fact that
the site named will be more con-
venient to majority of the patrons
than the one offered by Mr. Strong.
This, too, would have to be submit
ted to the department before the
lease with Mr.. Strong is signed. If
there is no one generous enough to
make. such an offer, s.us up town
people" will have to submit to the
proposed change, and it will do no
good TO kick about it.

tion, is the date when the reserva
ton is open to entry. Later in thil
same section it is stated that sths
proclamation of the president shall
prescribe the manner in which these
lands may be settled upon, occupied
and entered and no person shall b.
permitted to settle upon, occupy
and ente, such lands except as pre-
scribed in SAID proclamation until
after the expiration of sixty days
from the time when the same are
opened to settlement and entry In
other words, the president prescribes
in his proclamation the manner in
which the lands are to be opened to
entry. He cannot change the date.
''The manner Of opening to entry
refers to whether the reservation
shall be opened by the old fashioned
rush or by drawing. In this case
the reservation will be opened with
a drawing. The proclamation will
prescribe the time, place and man
ner for the registration and draw
ing, and on June 18th all who have
registered and drawn have the right,
under the law unless 1t Is amended,
to enter upon the reservation and
select their claims, and no other
person except those who have reg
istere1 and drawn can settle upon,
occupy or enter any lands on the
reservation until after the explra-
ton Of sixty days from the time
when the same are opened to settle
ment and entry. In other words,
for sixty days after date of opening
only such as have qualified them
selves for entry as may be provided
in the proclamation can settle upon
and enter the lands, but after the
expiration OF sixty days any quail
fled entrymaa can settle upon and
enter any lands which remain sub
ject TO settlement and entry"

Days Of It---April I3 and IA.

Anticipating that there will be a
large number of entries at the horse
show, the committee having the
affair In charge decided, Wednes-
day, to have two days, instead of
one, and consequently there will be
big doin's IN Montpelier on April Is
and IA. By having the show two
days, the judges will be enabled to
take more time in deciding the good
points of the horses and they can
thus give better satisfaction.
the Commercial Club is going to
make an effort to get half fare
rate on the railroad for the show.
At meeting Of the club last Mon.
day night committee. consisting of
q. G. Gray and A. b. Mattson, was
appointed to act with a committee
from the Horsemen's Association in
the effort to secure the reduced rail-
road rates. IF the company grants
the rates, and we have every reason
to believe that it will, big crowds
will be here on April Is and IA to
view the hundred or more handsome
specimens of Goods nohlest animal''
which will be on exhibition those
days.
Begin to get your colts and horses
ready for the event. If youh. v mt
got anything you think is good
enough to contest for the premiums,
tell your nerghbors about the show
maybe they will have something to
enter in some one Of the classes.
But come to the show whether or
not you have colt, team or a
stallion to exhibit. You'll see the
biggest and finest bunch of horses
ever before shown IN this section of
Idaho.
