upon strictly basiness lines. The
fact that a steam laundry here failed
10 due very largely TO the method
by which It was operated. There IL
business enough in Montpelier aud
country tributary to it, To keep a
strictly frstclass laundry busy six
days in the week.
We believe there is also an open
ing here for creamery, il operated
along the lines that other success
tul creamerfes are. However, the
farmers in tins vicinity would have
TO be educated little on the benefits
and profits of dairy farming. Farm
ers in other localities throughout the
west have made money in the dairy
business and nlne-tenths of them
conducted it as a side issue to their
regular farming.

A NEW WsULATOR


C. r.. Slusser, Of the Bear Lake
Valley Railway q Electric company,
has applied for = patent on an in-
sulator % be- used In electric light
and telephone service. Instead Of
fastening the wire TO the ins1lator
with = ..tie wire" as 10 now done. il
10 run through . groove in the in.
sulator. The opening or groove is
made from the top and ~ 20 con-
structed that when the transmission
wire is once strung Il cannot &c,
out, even though the lnsalatcr u AZ.
tached 10 the cross-arm In an IN
verted position. Mr.. Slusser elaine
several advantages for his insulasor
which he ~ confident will bring il
into immediate use. First, il saves
the cost Of the 'stie wire" which
amounts TO = considerable sum to
telephone and electric light cam,
panies. Second, BY the use OF his
lnsulator wires can be strung much
more rapidly than at present.
Third, they will do away with the
expense and trouble OF going over q
line after a severe storm and re-
placing broken ''tle wires" a. IL al.
ways necessary with the insulators
now used. Fourth, by using ''lir
wire" every half mile or 80, il will
be impossible for transmission
wire TO fall 10 the ground In case Il
breaks, for the reason that II cannot
get out OF the groove.
When he went east in January TO
tile his application for patent, Mr..
Slusser showed his model 10 mum.
ber Of prominent electrical engineers
and each one pronounced II as being
practical.
Mr.. Slusser is having inauIators
made nov under .'patent applied
for" They are being made Of
porcelain, which will give them
greater durability than glass, and
also permit of n higher voltage than
viii glass insnlatore.
There ls nothing on Gle IN tbs
patent office of the nature of Dir.
Slusaer's model aud he Il assured oI
receiving patent ~ soon 40 hls ap
plication can be reached by thai
Office.

On the Diamond.

II doesn't look very much as
though Montpelier would see any
base ball this season. The old team
ls pretty well scattered and no new
players have bobbed up to take their
places. Among,the old players here
several have declared that the
diamond no longer has any charms
tor them. This leaves probably
not more than two or three old
players available for team. How.
ever, there ought 10 be good base
ball timber IN some Of the younger
blood in town, but where we are
particularly lacking ID in the battery.
With Carl Spongberg aud AL Bresee
gone, IL leaves us decidedly up the
stump for pitchers, and We are also
minus a catcher.
Unless something unexpected
turns mp, Montpelier will be .'dry

trineS of the Church.

trineS Of the Church.
A feature of the l.. d S. confer |
ence which just closed at Salt Lake,
was the address by President Joseph |
f. Smith last Friday in which he
made the announcement that the
church had completely paid up its
$1,000, 900 bonded Indebtedness,
and the reading and adoption of
lengthy address TO the world, setting
forth the principles Of Mormonism,
proclaiming loyalty to the United
States and declaring that the church
had kept it's pledge gwen when
statehood for Utah was made pos
sible on condition that polygamy be
abandoned, z
President Smith addressed the
conference in sermon Of about one
hours duration. This was followed
by the formal address which sets
forth the Mormon declaration of
principles and IL intended az mes
sage of peace and good will to the
world. II was signed by the first
presidency of the Mormon church,
Joseph F. Smith, John r. Wnder
and Anthony II. Lund. It was read
by Apostle Orson F. Whitney Of
Salt Lake and was adopted by
rising vote. The address Is marked
by calm and conservative utterances
and IL lacking In scnsatlonalism and
bitterness.
After setting forth the principles
upon which the Mormon church ~
founded, the address declared that
the religion which the church pro-
fesses is based upon the revelations
of God. In addition 10 the general
religious principles oil purity, moral.
| ity and faith in God, the following
are set forth specifically as cardinal
doctrines of the church: Absolute
separation Of church and state; non
interference Of church authority
with political matters and the abso-
lutte freedom Of the individual IN
the performance of his political
duties. Touching polygamy, pub
lished TO the world as a doctrine Of
the church In 1859, but forbidden
by an act OF congress In 1852, the
address says:
"The Mormon people bow in sub
mission to the laws enacted again s

cilmen were present except Dana.
The question of purchasing lum-
ber for the city was laid over for
the new council to tackle.
City Engineer Bucher stated that
the cement sidewalk in front of the
Rose Hotel was three inches below
the grade line. The deviation in
the grade being so slight the engin-
eer said it would not make any par
ticular difference in the construction
of other walks in that block.
The council chewed the rag over
the matter tor some time and then
dropped it cold.
The statement of the city treas
urer showed that the deficit for the
year just closed would be about
$400.
The receipts for March were re-
ported at SAT and for the 6rst II
days in April at $Sso.25.
The treasurer reported a. baIapce
of $s194.73 on hand in the water
works fund.
The clerk stated he had been pre-
sented with an order for warrant
for $4,000 in favor of the water
works contractors. The council re.
fused to allow the warrant until an
! explanation Of the work was made
by Engineer Monson.
