WANT A SIDING.
Georgetown People Want a Rail
road Siding at Point Just
West Of Town.

Ii is quite likely that . shipping
point will soon be established on
the Short Line directly west from
Georgetown. The people of that
settlement have subscribed &l6p0 in
money and labor for the consirae,
tion of wagon road from George
town to the railroad, and by the
route TO be taken ii will be only II
miles from the store to the railroad.
The company has ample room 81
that point for station and side
track of sufficient length to accom-.
modate the business. The shipments
of hay and gram from that section
OF the county are very heavy during
several months in the year and the
people feel that from the showing
they can make they will have no
difficulty in securing n siding and
station there.
We understand that the company
which owns the phosphate claims
near Georgetown contemplate ship
ping phosphate in the near future.
If they do, they would load At the
new slding, which would make a
wagon haul for them Of only about
ave miles. We have been informed
that a representative Of the company
was at Georgetown recently aud
gave out the information that prep.
aratIons were beng made to operate
the phosphate claims in the near
future. The claims, we understand,
are owned by Utah parties and the
phosphate is said TO be of very high
grade.

GEM OF MOUNTAIN CLUB.
A Pleasant and Profitable Meeting
Held Last Saturday.

The Gem of the Mountain Club
met at the home of Mrs. Redman
last Saturday afternoon for their
final review of English History.
The program was full and well
carried out, there being only one
paper absent.
The subject of English Literature
had been divided into five minute
papers and assigned as follows:
English Literature prior to the
10th Century," by Mrs. Brady.
This paper was brief, concise and
we'll finished.
"Literature of the 10th Century,
was given by Mrs. Richards, who
showed that she had made a careful
research of that period.
One of the most unique papers of
the afternoon was that of Mrs. II.
B. Whitman, who followed the plan
of asking questions. giving extracts
of some selections, or suggesting
some event, and having the situation
guessed by members Of the club
Her subject was "lsth Century
Literature and her plan of handling
it made pleasing and excellent re.
view.
Miss Stoddard gave an account of
the 10th Century in her usual pleas
ing manner and made her talk more
charming by recitIng few choice
selections from authors of that time.
"Early English Inventions" was
the subject of Miss Grace McLaugh.
Inns paper. She gave a short ac-
count of many of our most common
place objects, which was very utter
estIng.
1.-The Influence of Prominent
Kings and Queens Of England, :"
was gwen by Miss Anna McLaugh-
lin, who seemed TO be rather partial
To queens and LAID great stress on
the good influence of Queen Eliza
beth aad Queen Victoria.
After listening to these papers,
the club was entertained with little
game prepared by Mrs. Blaine.
Papers were passed, on which were
queer collections of letters from
which the names of ten English
rulers were to be dtciphered in FIVE
minutes. The honors fell TO Miss
Beach, who succeeded IN getting all
the names in the shortest time.
Following this Mrs. Willis recited
the little extracts of songs and
poetry given N Tappan's English
History and the members guessed
the authors or occasion which
prompted the same.
The ladies feel that they are clos
ing the most successful and profit.
able year in the history Of the club.
At the next meeting they will give
the comedy, "Two Gentlemen of
Verona" BY Shakespeare, at the
handsome new home Of Mrs. Blaine.
The parlors being commodious. the
play can be given very well and at .
later meeting it will be decided
whether or not guests shall be in
Yited.

The LID WAS DOWN.
Sunday Closing Law was Observed
Here--Some Inconsistent Pro-
visions OF the Measure.

The lid was closed down on Mont.
pelier last Sunday as the result Of
the new sunday closing Law. Every
business house affected strictly oh
served the Law aud il vas impossible
to purchase anything except what
the law expressly enumera,cs may bc
sold.
II was a dreary old day all right
for many Of Montpelier's citizens,
for added to their discontinue At
not being able 70 find enjoyment Al
the festive games Of solo. pool or
billiards, the day was so raw and
cold that they could not go fishing
or even loiter on the streets with
any degree of pleasure. The "Mul.
ligan Club" had arranged for trip
up the canyon but the doggarled
weather man spoiled their plans.
There was nothing for the married
men to do but stay al home and
help "mind the kids"
In che afternoon il warmed up
little and here and there on the
streets could be seen groups OF men
who had resolved themselves into
grievance committees. Every fellow
had a different view of the law and
nearly every one found some glar-
ing inconsistency In It's proyislons.
One man declared that IL IL class
legislation because II hxes one de-
gree of penalty on the merchant who
violates the law and another degree
Of penalty on the saloon keeper who
violates the same law.
Another man showed up the in-
consistency Of the Law by referring
70 that section which says that Id
shall be unlawful To keep open oJ
Sunday any place Of any kind il
which aplrltnons. yinous. malt -
intoxicating liquors are nj any ttnIc
sold or exposed for sale" aud IN The
next sentence IL permits drug storfs
TO remain open.
II was also shown that the Law II
inconsistent in that it permits ball
games on Sunday. at which there
are always more or less betting asd
prohibits the opening Of pool rooms.
where no intoxIeants are sold aud
where men gather for quiet, social
amusement.
Another Inconsistency was shows
in the provision which permits tha
sale Of cigars bat prohibits the sale
of tobacco In any other form.
II was also shown that coniection.
cry might bc sold by the ton but II
is unlawful To sell fruit Of any kind.
Newspapers can be cold. bnt mag
azines and all other periodicals are
on the prohibitorY list.
A man can buy cigar but il he
happened To be out Of bread At home
and his babes we're crying with
hunger be couldn't buy a loaf of
bread or even q cracker for them.
These and many other inconsist
encies in the law we're shown up.
