business, closing about 40 years of
honorable and successful business life
in Bethel.
Mr.. Sargent was born 10 Bethel 10 1871,
and in 1862 entered the store of G. Il.
Graham as clerk. Mr.. Graham was then
doing business in the brick block that
stood where &. Fl. Kimbalrs store is now
located.
In April, 1868, in company with his
bought of Simon 7. Coy the building in
brothers opened a hardware store. Moses
B. Sargent sold out his interest in
January, 1869, and the business was
gent until about 1874, when MIR. Coy again
took the business and MIR. Sargent went
back into the store of Mr.. Graham and
remained there until the fire of Dec. IL,
1877. In March, 1878, he opened cloth
ing store in the Child block and remained
there for two years, when he removed to
| his present location, where he has since
remained. He was appointed postmaster
| in 1868 and held the office until April
| /, 1875, when the late Edwin Fisher was APP
| pointed. He was appointed town treas
urer in December, 1884, upon the resigna-
ton of Merrick Sylvester, who had beer
elected the previous March.
Mr.. Sargent has devoted himself
assiduously to business and has beer
largely aided by Mrs. Sargent, and boil

men. In addition 10 the routine business
TO be transacted the warning contains the
following new matters;-
To see il the town will vote TO direct the
ssleetmen to repay TO the state the surplus
revenue now held by this town.
To see II the town school district Will
vote to authorize its directors TO sell the
school houses and lands in the Locust
Creek district and in the Woodworth dis
triet near East Bethel.
To see II the town will vote to approprl'
ate money for permanent highways IN ae-
cordance with Section s OF Act No, ii OF
the last legislature. In regard to the lat
ter matter, the legislature set apart fund
OF $50, 900 To be divided among the towns
that should vote money to be expended
under the direction of the state highway
board for permanent roads, the state Civ
ing to the town as much money as the
town votes up to 800,

| towns to expend the interest OF the same
| on schools, SO that hitherto the town oil
Bethel has simply taken the amount oi
| this interest, some sl7i, from one pocket
aud put il ia another. The last legisla-
! ture changed this and required towns tc
either repay this 10 the state or to pay tbs
state interest on the same every year. Tine
general sentiment in regard TO this is t
repay this fund TO the state, as otherwise
it is the same as perpetual mortgage OF
the town,
The two school houses which are pro
posed to sell have not been used for man,

the same can be done with advantage t.
the town school district, and the director
ask authority to do so.
The report of the auditors and tow
officers for the past year, now in the hand
of the printer, shows that the town ha
had successful year in financial wa,
and a substantial reduction has been mad
in the debt. The net town debt in Feb
ruary, 1907, is s3Si5.i4; in 1906 it wa
$3.50 IS; 1905, S75i3.46, and in 1901, $40,

United States Senator VIM. E.
Borah yesterday was acquitted on
the charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government out of valu-
able Idaho timber lands. The
people of Boise were over.
joyed at the outcome of the trial
and when the accused was declared
innocent roaring jollification was
held. Never for moment was
the senator thought TO be guilty,
the general belief being that he
was man above committing the
offense of which he was charged
Borah is good, clean man and
stands high with the people of his
state. There are very few big
men in politics and holding a high
public Office who enjoy the con-
fidence and esteem of their con-
stituency as does Senator Borah.

"Tilly Olson" the Swedish comedy
drama, was presented at the opera
house Sunday evening and the show was
somewhat of disappointment to those
who had read much about the excellence
of the play. Tilly was silly almost to a
point of being monotonous, and while
the actress handling that character may
have been star, she failed to show it.
Many features of the performance were
laughable and the limited audience, due
doubtless to the disagreeable weather,
enjoyed numerous hearty laughs.

time he received his diplomas
which show that he is now an eff
ficient electrician, civil engineer,
bookkeeper, show-card designer,
window letterer, newspaper adver-
tiser and rt-story writer. While
he is debating which vocation to
follow he is pitching hay,
Gilpin observer., 1907-10-03

If the government should in
vestigate the smelter trust, that
big monopoly of which Senator
Guggenheim of this state is an
important factor, it is doubtful if
the outcome of the investigation
would be such that the people of
this state would be thrown into an
ecstasy of JOY. His vindication
would by no means be as COM
plete as that of Senator Borah in
the recent timber case. In fact,
when Simon and his smelter CON-
bine are investigated, "there amt
going to be no vindication."
