Building And All / Dan
Assn. is a Sui cess IS

The Building and Loan Asso-
citation is in a condition which
should make those who launched
it feel proud. Tt has now l31
members carrying about $3.50, y
600 in tockwith applications for
all the money which it will ac-
cunulate until August. The di-
rectors are very careful about
the loans they make and have al
ready refused a great many APP
plications. There is no better
means uflsaving money than in
this association. 1t is far better
than life insurance because one
can withdraw ones money at
any time and after the first year
can Withdraw not only all the
money invested, but a share Of
the profits of the concern, with
such withdrawal. There is no
chance to lose money.
Forsthe borrower it is the best
! and cheap of its kind, as there
is very little expense connected
with the making Of a loan like in
most bull ding and loan associsa-
tons. Any time before Satur-
day night at 8 o'clock Of this
! week, persons may enter the as
lsociation by paying only |, cents

Assessor Dagget reports that taxes
are coming in very slowly, compared
with the receipts of county money
during the first month after the books
were opened last year.
He attributes this to the fact that
the books were not opened until the

decision of the supreme court in the
Shoshone county case.
The books were opened a month
earlier this year than last.

The SPRING ELECTION
Promises to Be q Quiet affair in Lady
smith with None but Super
visors to Elect.

The spring election this year will not
be an elaborate affair. All the officers
elected last year hold over until next
year except the three supervisors, whose
successors will be elected next month.
The charter for cities of our class
provides that the alderman shall hold
for two years unless the council provide
otherwise.
It is generally conceded desirablethat
a part of the members of the council
should be elected each year, and that
might have been provided for last spring,
but was neglected, so that each member
now holding will serve another year
when the alternating plan will probably
be effected.
It is certainly better that part of
old members should remain in the coun-
Gil as they possess information of value
to new members.

INCORPORATION WINS
Weyerhaeuser Has Decided to Be.
come Possessed of Separate
Government.

The village of Weyerhaeuser has be-
come a village in law as we'll as one
in fact. The progressive spirit of the
town thus finds expression. The peo-
pie there felt that certain important
advantages would come with incorpof-
alton.
A. N. Andersen, who had charge OF
legal matters connected with the in
corporation, was in Weyerhaeuser
Monday and came away with the i'm
preston that about four votes would
be cast in opposition, but the returns
proved still more favorable, there be-
ing but two votes against the pro-
position, while fifty-six declared in
favor in assuming the powers of a vii
lage charter.
The first election of officers will be
held at the time of the regular spring
elections.
Weyerhaeuser promises to be one of
the best towns in the county, is grow
ing nicely, has the progressive spirit
that pushes ahead and an excellent
farming country around it for future
support.
Having the division headquarters
tof 'the 500 line is an advantage of
value. The Maple Lumber company
is doing much good both at home and
abroad. The Banner Wagon works is
under excellent control and will be an
element in the future.
The people of the comfy will be
pleased with this evidence of push and
confdence--it is what we want to see
all over the county.
