PARIS, THE BEAUTIFUL
Bear Lakes County Seat and Settlement Of
Early Days.

Nesting at the foot of the rolling
hills of the Wasatch range, on the
west side Of Bear Lake valley, lies
Paris, the capital of the county and
one OF the prettiest country towns in
the west. 1t is noted as the home Of
the Fielding Academy, the great edu-
cational institution built by three
stakes of the Latter-day Saints; Of
the Stake Tabernacle, with seating
capacity Of 1000; as the county seat,
and the headquarters Of the Bear Lake
Stake of the Latter-day Saints.
The imposing edifce on the north
east corner of Main and Center
streets is the county court house, in
which are. located all the county and
district officers Of Bear Lake county
and the Fifth Judicial district Of
Idaho.
On the block to the south is the
Bear Lake stake tabernacle, which
was begun in 1884, completed in 1880,
and cost $4,000. 1t is So feet high,
ITO feet long and go feet wide. It

valley is in high state of cultivation
and produces many hundred carloads
OF grain and hay each year. Fruit,
vegetables, cattle, hogs, poultry, eggs
and all farming commodities are also
produced in enormous quantities.
Mining Activity.
Considerable interest has recently
been aroused in mining affairs BY rea-
son Of the discovery Of heavy lead
groupings in the mountains near
Paris.
The Gem mine, near st. Charles. is
being rapidly developed, and shows
large quantities Of galena, with some
silver.
The Paris Boulder Mining company
was recently organized with capital
stock of one million shares at five
cents each, and owns "a promising
claims six miles west of Paris. Six
men are employed driving tunnel.
The claims display heavy groupings
Of lead and silver.

possesses extremely fine acoustic prop
critics, and is the scene of all the
great gatherings Of the Latter-day
Saints in this valley.
Both of the above buildings are sur
rounded by groves Of towering trees.
In fact, shade in abundance is a
marked characteristic Of Paris and
indeed Of the valley.
Local Industries.
Among the resources of Paris is
the Pioneer Creamery, which makes
1000 pounds Of high grade butter each
month and pays to the farmers about
$4,000 each year. Another is the
Bear Lake Candy company, which
supplies the Bear Lake and Star val
ley candy market with an excellent
grade Of confectionery.
Paris has flour mill, sawmiIl,
planning and woodworking establish
ment, harness factory and other in
dustries, all in active operation.

The toast assigned to her husband,
who was absent. In speaking on the
subject, eff We Had Bear Lake at
Pocatello," she said:
IF we had Bear Lake as near to
Pocatello as it is to Montpelier, the
hustlers of our town would interest
capital in the enterprise and build
a railroad to the lake. By some hook
or crook it would be accomplished.
Then we would build large pavilion,
hotel and summer camp cottages,
making resort which would by far
excel the famous Saltair at Salt Lake.
II have visited SaItair, and as re-
member it, the approach to the lake
IS over miles Of ugly, fiat, gray salt
marshes. From Montpelier to Glen
coe, the road leads through a most
beautiful, green valley, dotted with
quaint and picturesque towns.

IN this valley. The rolling hills are
veritable patchwork of beauty.

ment by saying that few places pos
sessed so splendid summer resort
as Bear Lake, and therefore were not
prepared by any effort to afford such
delightful time as the guests had
enjoyed on this visit.
Mr.. Barber continued his address
by dwelling upon the greatness Of the
state of Idaho. He spoke Of the great
mineral resources, the great advance
ment and progress by reason Of irri-
cation. He said that Lincoln and
Twin Falls counties would one day
be densely populated and then they
would send thousands of people to
Bear Lake in the summer time to
enjoy this splendid summer resort.
The resolutions committee then sub
mitted its report. Mr.. 0. H. Barber,
of the American Falls Press, was
chairman of the committee and read
the resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted by a standing vote.
