PLEASED WITH OUR VALLEY.
Two Prominent Kansas Gentlemen
Spent Monday Looking Over
Portions Of the County.

Congressman w. A. Reeder of
the Sixth Kansas district, and his
family, and g. w. Matthews, cash
Ter of the First National Bank of
Logan, Kansas, and mis- family,
were guests Monday of Mr.. and Mrs
G. r. Slusser of Paris. They were
en-. route home from the Irrigation
Congress at BOISE. The party spent
the day at Bear Lake and Congress-
man Reeder expressed himself as
being delighted with the lake and
most favorably impressed with our
valley as far as he saw it.
The special object of the visit of
these gentlemen was to talk over the
electric road proposition with Mr..
Slusser, and to obtain such informa.
tion as would enable them to deter
mine whether or not the proposition
was feasible one. Both gentle.
men represent considerable capital
which is willing to invest in legit-
innate enterprises in the west, and
while Mr.. Reeder did not express
himself definitely on the proposition
to the writer, yet he seemed to be
favorably impressed with 1t, aud
stated that he intended to give the
matter careful consideration.
Surveyors will this week complete

ceiyed furthur encouragement from
the Short Line officials, and he Is
quite hopeful of being able to
finance the enterprise in ample time
TO complete the construction of the
road early next season.
There is no question, whatever,
hut what the construction of the
road would result in great benefit
to Montpelier. AS stated by the
railroad officials to Mr.. Slusser, the
electric road would be advertised as
an auxiliary to the Short Line. This
Of itself would be of considerable
Importance to our town. The road
would certainly place Montpelier in
close touch with large section Of
country from which we now obtain
hut very little business. 1t would
bring hundreds Of people to Mont
Pelier every year who now never
visit our city, and in many other
ways it would stimulate life in our
city. Let US talk for the electric
road, if we can't do anything else.

when he calls attention to the plank
Of the democratic platform which
demands that the election of the
judiciary of the state be made nom
partisan and that from this point of
view there can be no reason why the
people of this district should be
asked to make partisan figh,
against competent and satisfactory
judge.
Sin north Idaho the democrats of
the Second judi.ial district refused
TO make nomination against the
republican candidate, and it would
have been better had The delegates
from this district taken the same
stand in view of the very general
satisfaction that is felt with Judg.
Budge's record. This course would
have emphasized their attitude.
"The letter Of Mr.. Boyd rs com
pllmentary to him in showing his
reliable judgment and to Judge
Bulge in adding evidence of the
high esteem in which he ls held by
the reliable members Of the bar of
this district"
The Pocatello Tribune, in refer
ring to Mr.. Boyd's withdrawa from
the ticket, says:
"There are few practicing lawyers
at the Bannock county bar more
capable Of filling the judgesbip of
this district than Judge Boyd. But
even with this in his favor, the fact
remains that no Democrat. not even
Judge Boyd, could win against
Judge Bulge, whose magnificent
record on the bench has made his
re-election not only proper but in
evitable. Eyen with the strongest
Democrat in the district as his OPP
ponent, Judge, Bulge would be re-
elected by tremendous majority.
This is SO because the incumbent
has been good judge, with a record
in the supreme court that is the
envy of other state jurlsts. He il
a first class man, and his indorse-
ment by Judge Boyd leaves no room
for doubt that he is the choice, no,
only of all the Republicans of this
district, but of all the consistent
Democrats as WE'LL"
