THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
WeiSer Democrats Declare Mormon
Question Is the Issue.

The democrats of Weiser, organ
lied club last week and adopted a
declaration of principles, upon
which line they propose to fight
s.until the last armed foe expires. :"
The first plank of their platform, in
which the Mormon question is de-
clared to be the paramount issue, Is
as follows:
1--WE believe the paramount issue
in the coming campaign to be, as it
was to the last, the Mormon ques-
tion; the prohibition of Mormon
church influence in political and
governmental matters and the de
basing crime of polygamy, and we
urge that the democrats of Weiser
and of the County of Washington
will from this day forward use their
efforts to secure a delegation to the
next democratic state convention
from this county pledged to suppor'
such as an issue."

AIN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Bill Roberts Tells Of a Trip He Had
Down Snake River in 1883.

Engineer ssBill'' Roberts says that
the article In last weeks Examiner,
telling of the hazardous trip of t,
A. Clark and his party down Snake
river in 1882, recalled to his mind
the thrilling experience he had on
trip down the Snake in 1883. MIR.
Roberts was employed In the con-
struction department of the Short
Line, which was then being built,
and that spring he and three other
men started down the river at King
hill with four big boats which were
loaded with pile driving engines
and other material to be used IN the
construction of the road IN the
western part of the state. The boats
were each the size of a fat car and
were lashed together at the ends.
The first days journey was devoid
of any exciting incidents, but the
second day they had an experience
which Bill says he never will forget
They suddenly came upon some
rapids IN the river, and two head
boats grounded GU the rocks. The
two men, who were on the front end
of those boats were hurled over
board and swept down the raging
stream to watery grave.
| Mr.. Roberts and his companion,
on the rear boats, quickly saw thai
their only means of escape was te
cut lo"te from the grounded boats
and this they did with all speed pos
sible. Even then it was with grea
difficulty that they succeeded il
getting over the rapids in safety
The two boats and all the content
/; were lost, including the pile driving
engines, which Mr.. Roberts says b
supposes are still anchored at tn
bottom of the river somewhere il
that vicinity.
The balance of the trip, to th
v point where they were to unload
was made without further trouble

Let Us Have a New Bridge.

The county bridge on the Paris
road would have gone out last Mon
day had it not been fol the timely
work of q force of men who went
out from town and dynamited the
ice which had begun to pile up
against the piers. As it was, two
of the end bents were carried away
by the ice, which caused the bridge
to sag some and it swayed nearly
foot out of line before the ice gorge
was broken.
While the bridge might not now
be termed unsafe, it's condition Is
such that we consider it would be
unwise for the county commission
ers to expend any more money re-
pairing it than is absolutely neces-
sary to make it safe, pending the
construction of steel bridge. The
traffic over that road is too heavy
and of too much Importance to the
people of both sides of the valley,
to warrant the county taking any
chances with bridge that is not
absolutely safe. In the event thai
the present bridge should 60 down
while some one was crossing it, the
county would be up against dam
age suit, which might cost it more
than the price of new bridge.
We believe that the commission
ers, at their meeting next week
should advertise for bids for the cor
struction of new steel bridg
across the river.

Value of Bear Lakes Products.

s.Do you know" said a Mout-
pelier business man to us last Mon
day, "that there ought to be more
ready money in Bear Lake valley to-
day than at any previous time III its
history. During the past year four
products of this county have brought
to the farmers and stockmen at the
very least 1925, 900 in ready cash.
These products are horses, cattle,
hay and oats. And was thinking
just the ether day what difference
there is in conditions In the valley
now and eight or ten years ago.
Then the farmers didn't get cash
for hardly anything they sold, ex-
cept cattle. They had to take trade
at the stores for their hay and other
produce, and some of them had to
scratch like sin to get money enough
to pay their taxes. Then there was
seldom horse shipped ont of The
county, while during the past yeal
there have been % carloads oi
horses shipped from here, that
know of. Besides the above sun
realized, the eggs and butter shipped

the smoke issuing from the base
ment. He quickly turned in the
alarm but the flames were beyond
control when the fire department
arrived.
The cause of the fire is unknown
as the building had been carefully
inspected only three hours before
the fire broke out.
The total loss of the building and
contents amounted to over $780,
600, with insurance to the amount
Of $lo5, 900.
The west wing Of the building
was erected in 1892 at a cost of
$34, 74s. The following year the
basement and first story of the main
building was completed at cost of
SIT, 900. 1t was not until 1897 that
the main building was finished. II
was constructed of brick and heated
by steam
The citizens of Moscow gracious
ly came forward and offered the
faculty the use of every available
building in the city for school work,
and while the loss of the apparatus
has somewhat hampered the work,
all departments of the university
have been in session this week, as
though nothing had happened, the
Carnegie library, Elks temple,
Methodist church and city hall being
used for class rooms.
While the loss ls a severe one for
the state, there is no doubt but that
upon the site of the ruins, there will
IN due time be erected q finer and
better building than the one des
troyed. The university has gained
the name of being one of the very
best institutions of higher learning
in the west, and the state cannot af
ford to permit the institution u
long remain crippled for the lacl
of an adequate building and tn
necessary apparatus.

out OF the county amount to no
small sum, and then the potato crop
helps to swell the farmers income,
but last year, of course, the crop
was cut short by the unexpected
cold snap In October. Taking it
all in all, the annual exports from
Bear Lake county, for which spot
cash is received, will run well up
into six figures and If the actual
amount could be ascertaincd it would
surprise many who have never given
any thought on the subject"

excellent progress that is being made

The play will be given Friday and

thus giving those attending the show
an opportunity of being we'll enter

Owing to the fact that there will

this bill is going to afford an ade-

l have injected this question at this

the commission is equipped by the
provisions of this bill to remedy
these evils, evils which enable the
carriers to haul oil from Chicago to
Portland for 90 cents and from
Chicago to Boise, SIS miles TINS

are only instances. I have here com

the competition that justifies them

not represent the proposition Of
