The County Commissioners at
their session last week purchas-
ed vacant lot from B. S. Brown
Just across the road from the
county building, and, it is report
ed, it is their intention to build
a rock Office thereon to be used
by the Auditor and thus protect
the county records in case of
fire. This is a good idea, but
why not go further and build a
court house ? The county is in
need of one bad enough. Per
haps there are only two counties
Custer and Lemhi-that
are without a court house. True,
Custer county has a building
that we speak of as court
house, and another building that
we call a jail. But what are
they Simply shacks and
disgrace to any county. With
building material so convenient,
it is estimated that a rock court
house large enough to supply
offices for all the county officers,
and a good Jail in the basement,
could be built and furnished for
$4,000. If we had such build
ing would save each year S240 in
office rent, say nothing of the
heavy expense for fuel, besides,
when the county had a prisoner
they would not have to ship him
to Blackfoot for safe keeping.
Then again wo could do away
with jail guards. But the best
argument in favor OF proof
court house is the safety of the
county records which no amount
of money could replace were they
destroyed. But some say the
people would vote down bond:
to build a court house. Give
them chance and see. We dC
not see how any fair minded per
son could vote against their owl
interest and this is surely Of
vital interest to every person il
Custer county who knows or whC
have ever seen the county build
z ings of Custer county Th,
present court house would maxi
2 an excellent store building an,
would readily rent at S25 pc
month. A new court house is
1 financial proposition and pro
L gressive movement.

NEW SMELLING PLANT.

Ogden, Utah, April 2.-Thc
Oregon Short Line Railroad
Company has just started a large
grading outfit to work on the
preliminary construction of u
new spur leading to the site of
the new S1,0O0,00O smelling
plant that will be erected by the
Utah Smelling company seven
miles north of Ogden. When
this track has been completed,
the material necessary for the
building of the smelter will bc
shipped in and the construction
work of the plant will be com
menced. 1t is expected that the
same will be completed and be
ready for business within the
next six months.
This plant will be the first in
dependent smelling concern to
enter the field since the trust
gained control of all the smelt-
ing interests of the country,
therefore it is looked upon as an
important move and one that is
destined to make the city of Og
den a prominent smelling point.
This can be better understood
when it is remembered that
iabout two months ago Charles
NJ. Schwab the steel magnate,
who is largely Interested in min
ing properties of the west, under
a threat to start an independent
Smelter on the coast, forced the
trust to grant him a reduction of
s., "a ton on all his ores. Mr..
Schwab went so far aS to lease
an old abandoned smelling plant
inevr SanFrancisco, but when he
secured the reduction mentioned
he Abandoned the idea of opelUt-
ing it. The actual operation of
IA iaCependeLt concern, il would
seem, must necessarily bring
about some effect that would be-
favorable to the producers.

ed to see a farmer receiving d
wagon from Sears Roebuck at a

you that wagon as cheap right

why didn't you say So" replied
the farmer. / have taken your

never seen a word in it about
selling wagons. Sears Roebuck
sent their advertising stuff way
out here from Chicago to get my
trade and they got it. If you
have any bargains, tell me about
them sometimes. The farmer
had the right idea. Sears Roe
buck get business by advertising

to compete with them he must
meet them on their own ground.
