Shouldn't Advocate improvements.

The Examiner was criticised the
other day for advocating the extension
of the cement sidewalk district east on
Main street to Eighth street Tn,
ground on which we were criticised
was that 'you don't own any property
on that street and therefore have no
right to advocate the building of cement
sidewalks, which will be such heav.
cost to the property owners 1t il
true that we do not own any propert,
on the district mentioned, but we can I
agree with orr critic in the statement
that we therefore have no right t.
advocate the construction OF cement
walks in that district. A paper has a
right and it ia it's duty TO advocate
public improvements in any portion OF
a city, especially when the proposed inn
provements will be of benefit to the
vast majority of the citizens oil
the community. We certainly would
not advocate the extension of cement
walks on Main street If it were not for
fact that the present board walks are in
q most dilapidated condition and it Is
almost impossible TO secure plank
enough to replace the broken ones
in the walks along that block, let alone
building entire new ones. At the pres.
emit price of lumber if il could be Sc
cured, the cost of building cement
walks is but little more than that OF
plank ones Then why should NOT
property owners haye pride enough in
them to improve the appearance of the
city, add to their comfort and that OF
the public and enhance the value VI
their property, without waiting for an
order from the city councilH At the
risk of being again criticised, we insist
that the council should extend the
cement walk district east to Eighth
street, and the property owners b,
given until the first of next August il
which to construct the new walks.
Later-Since the above was put ii
type w. w. Chapman informs us tina
he has let the contract for a cemen
walk to be laid in front of his propert,
next week. We understand that tn
Odd Fellows will also lay a cemen
walk along their property yet this fall
Now let other property owners in tn
block follow suit and save the council
the trouble of passing an ordinance ex
tending the cement walk district

Federation Club Notes.
(By Mrs. Byrd Trego)


Mrs Ed Holden. president of the dis
trict federation, presents suggestion
which is good one and worthy of con
sideratiOn and adoption where possible
1t is that club women provide rest
rooms in the towns. for women who
come in from the country, SO they can
rest, eat luncheon, let tine baby sleep
etc, while the husband is attending to
his business The plan has been tried
in many places, and has proven very
helpful and practical. While it may
be most appreciated in hot weather, yet
the season for most of the trading fol
country people is still to come, and the
opportunity is open to give it trial.
Mrs. Holden sen is greetings to sister
club women, aud wishes each of them
pleasant vacation.
The women of Mackay have organ
lied THE Women's Club of Mackay'
and applied for admission to the First
district federation.
The date of the district meeting nj

IT'S TIME TO KICK.

Under the present train schedule
Montpelier Is certainly up against
it, so far as Salt Lake connections
are concerned. Whether there is
any remedy for present conditions,
we are unable to say, but we do be-
lieve that the business men of our
city should register vigorous Kick
with the Short Line officials. II
might not do any good, but it Ger
tainly would do no harm to let the
railroad company know that we are
displeased with present conditions
With the amount of passenger and
freight traffic that Montpelier fur
nishes the Short Line, it does seem
that the company ought to be will
ing to furnish us with better mail
and passenger connections with Salt
lake. This is a question we would
like 10 see the Commercial Club
take hold Of and take hold of it in
earnest. We are confident that the
business men of Soda Springs and
Bancroft, would unite with us in an
effort to secure better train connec-
tions at McCamm0n. If we can do
nothing more than to secure the
connections that prevailed before
the late ping pong was put on Il
would he great Improvement over
prcsent connections. Then we were
able TO get the Salt Lake papers al
o o'clock Of the same morning they
were published, but now they &c
not reach here until p. m, and
about half the time they do not gel
here until the following morning, oil
"a hours after they are published
We believe that If representatives
from Montpelier, Soda Springs ant
Bancroft would place the matte
before the officials in the prope
light, it would have some effect
The effort is worth trying and WI
insist that cur Commercial Clul
take this matter up at once. Don
be afraid TO kick-conditions coul'
not be made any worse than the,
are at present, and there is no dan
ger Of the Short Line abandoning
this territory or removing its DIV
sion from Montpelier, because 0
any kick we may register agains

OF doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. During
the day it would get rough and form
like scales. At night it would be
cracked, intiamed, and badly swollen,
with terrible burning and itching.
