thought 1t was necessary Tor the Or
ganization In Bear Lake county to
do one of two things-get in line
with the state organization or DIS
band. In view Of the action of the
state committee. in ousting the reg
ularly chosen committeeman from
this county and in view of the stand
the committee had taken relative to
the Issue in the coming campaign,
Mr.. Harris said he realized that it
could hardly be expected that the
county organization would feel like
working in harmony with the state
committee. While he had given
the matter considerable thought, he
said that he had outlined no policy,
and would leave it with the mem
bers of the committee and other
democrats present rs to what course
they wished TO pursue, and asked
that all present express themselves
freely upon the situation.
The first question asked was
whether the state committee had
authority to oust a member from any
county without consulting with the
county committee. No one was
able to give definite answer to the
question, but it was the opinion OF
all vino expressed themselves tha,
the state committee had no such
authority.
After dozen or more speeches
had been made in which all phases
Of the situation were discussed, EI
Pugmire offered the following reso
, luton:
"Resolved, That it is the sense o
, this meeting that we repudiate tn
, action of the state central com
mittee in removing the committee
man from Bear Lake county in tn
: unwarranted and illegal manner il
f which it was done, and that we stil
r recognize H. II. Hoff as our repre-
: sentative on said committee"
I The resolution was unanimousl
adopted.
/. After some further discuss n,
was decided that Bear Lake count
should send three delegates to tn
state convention to be held a
. Occur d'Alene City on August {
. A resolution was passed empowe
i ing the county executive commute
> to name the three delegates, provit
ed the state committee would gra,
> it that power. If not, the executi,
. committee was instructed TO fix II
time and place for holding the pr
u maries and convention to select Il
q delegates.
The meeting then adjourned.

TO MARK THE TRAIL.
Monument to be Erected in Mont
pelier to Mark the Old Oregon
Trail,

Yesterday morning about II
o'clock there rolled into town an
old prairie schooner, drawn by.
team Of oxen. The occupants of
this now rare vehicle were Ezra
Meeker and companion, who are
making The trip east over the old
Oregon trail. MIR. Meeker came
west in 1852 and has ever since re-
sided in various portions of Oregon
and Washington. He now claims
Puvallup, Washington, as his home.
Some months ago he conceived the
idea of going over the old trail for
the purpose of having erected at
various points monuments to mark
the trail and TO perpetuate the mem
ory of those sturdy pioneers who
bravely trudged their way across
the valleys, mountains and deserts
in the SOS, 4O's and SOS aud by sc
doing saved to the United States
what has proven to be one of the
grandest and richest sections of oul
republic.
With the view of carrying ou
his idea, Mr.. Meeker and his com
panion started from The Dalles
Oregon, on March 14th with thu
, outfit as above described. 1t being
his first trip over the old trail sine
| 1852, he has had some difficulty il
retracing the exact route, but wit
t the aid of the old citizens along tn
3 route he has been enabled to max
e the journey over the exact trall
n Between here and The Dalles, h
n has, with the help of citizens, cree
ed firteen monuments, mostly @
granite. These monuments bes

= As the trai. passed along the foo
n hills in the eastern part of Mon

sire that q monument should /
erected at some suitable point in tt

We can now figure on either put
ing III some fall grain or leaving
the ground until spring. Nothing
encourages anyone more than to be
successful and by being careful in
doing what work we do we are, as a
rule, reasonably sure of obtaining
our object. One very important
consideration in dry farming or in
any kind of farming, for that mat
ter, is good seed. would strongly
urge all farmers to pay more atten
tion to the quality of gram, etc,

est seed, as rule, Is the dearest,
and it is we'll known fact that first
class seed has better terminating
power, and will give good returns
when poorer ones fail. Like pro-
duces like.
Again, | would strongly urge You
not to use grain that has any smut
in it, and as precaution use formal
dehyde on your grain before sowing.
Don't SOW too much to the acre.
Recollect that In sowing IN the fall
we make long season, and that fall
sown grain will stool. | would
recommend about 35 to 40 pounds
of wheat per acre fall sowing); rye
one bushel to the acre. Conditions
vary IN different parts Of the state,
and it would be as we'll for ranchers
to study this and find out what
amount of seed per acre gives the
best results. There is great deal
too much seed sown per acre as a
rule. We are far more likely to get
crop by underseeding than over
seeding. By sowing too much seeo
per acre, we are liable to fail, be
