WHAT MONTPELIER NEEDS.

montpelier needs many Things IL mas
not at present.
Some of these that would seem to
insure good return on the invest
.nent may be briefly mentioned as
follows:
First-There is a fire opening
here for creamery plant The city
is surrounded with ranches and
arms, and II the farmers could be
shown that a creamery backed by
ample capital with an up-to-date
liant in charge of competent mana
ger, was to be opened here we be-
.ieye they would then devote more OF
heir energies to the creamery OF
larry business. Soda Springs has
reamery, so has Bancroft, Star Val
ey has several, Paris has one, and
many more places close here, where
he advantages and conditions are no
better, and in many places not so
rood as Montpelier offers.
Second-Montpelier some time
lgo had steam laundry, but the
owners were compelled to use we'll
water, which in this section is very
hard, and the result was they failed
o turn out first class w0rk. But now
hat soft snow water can be had
from the city water mains, SPLEEN
lid opening is offered fer a small but
we'll equipped and managed steam
aundry. The trade Is here for the
right kind of an enterprise.
Third-Judging by the number
that have to go to other places foi
medical treatment, especially Iii
serious cases where experienced
nursing is required, it would seem
that Montpelier offers fine opening
for hospital, well equipped and
supplied with modern appliances.
Our physicians have long recog-
nized the need of such an institu-
ion. Several movements have beer
started witlAthis object in view, but
o date they s not been carried
any one else our physicians would
Welcome the opening of such an in
stitution, as they could give patients
the care that can only be given in a
hospital.
Thousands of dollars are annual
" taken out of this county on this

kept at home, besides the sick and
long trip. 1t is confidently believed
long trip. 1t is confidently believed
hat the physicians in this city and
ounty are as competent as are found
anywhere, and with we'll directed
and furnished hospital at their dis.
posal, there would be no need of the
afflicted seeking treatment in other
cities.
Fourth-Another need that Mont.
1elier has felt for years Is the build
ing Of we'll appointed opera house
For some years the town has had t.
put up with halls where the floors
were fiat, thus preventing q good
view of the stage. These halls have
answered the purpose splendidly fol-
iancing and such entertainments
and while they have been used FOL
opera house purposes still build
ng erected especially for theatrica
requirements would answer a grea
isal better. Montpelier and sur
BOUNDING country has the reputa
ion of turning out about as large
audiences for shows as any town o.
equal size anywhere. consequently
an operahouse would be good pay
Ing investment.
Fifth-Every niece of wood worl
Of every description for building pur
poses has to be shipped in from else
where; therefore, a planning anC
turning mill and an iron machine
shop run in connection with 1t woult
certainly be profitable enterprise.
Sixth-Another enterprise tina
would nrove of great advantage Il
a good tannery; hides from the sur
rounding valley are shipped out anC
verp low price is paid for them
II such business was established
here. the price of leather would de
crease. besides It would give employ
ment to q number of men. II 4
successful In other places where few
er cattle are raised than in this val
ley
These are only few of the man,
needs of Montpelier.
