"Old Arkansaw," played at the
Woodman Hall last night, was we'll
attended and won from all who we're
present the hearty appreciation it
deserved. The play is frankly melo-
dramatic, with all the attendant feat
ures of train robbery, holdups, murder
and much blazing Of blank cartridges,
but it was finely staged despite the
cramped space afforded In the Wood
man Hall, and each member OF the
cast proved to be an actor Of no mean
ability. They infused into the char
acters and into the play a delightful
element of naturalness that con-
strained one to forgive and forget the
ear splitting bang Of the pistol shots,
and the acrid cloud Of powder smoke
that oozed out over the footlights.
At the meeting Of the stockholders
in the Dallas Cannery Company, held
at the Court House yesterday after
noon, the following directors we're
chosen G. w. Myer. president; j. B.
Num-, vice president; H. G. Campbell,
secretary and treasurer; Henry Voth,

Peters. Several locations for the new
cannery building have been offered by
property owners Of this city, and work
will be commenced as soon as a suit
able site has been determined upon.

tian Church, Sunday afternoon, by the

and highly appreciated. Mr., Gender

FEEL GOOD YET.

The election is over and both politicians
and office seekers are again good citizens of
the county. The Examiner feels that both
democrats and republicans in this county
are to be congratulated upon the campaign
that was made in the county. Too often
there is IA tendency in the heat of battle to
resort to means of securing votes which
may be REGRETTED afterwards. Candidates
are attack upon their character, mud sling
ing as it were is INDUCED in. In Bear Lake
county this campaign there was absolutely
none of this work. The campaign was
made fairly on the issues and no candidate
has come out of the battle feeling that he
has been unfairly used in any manner
The ticket is divided Some democrats
have been successful and some republicans.
OF course the Examiner is not even partial
ly convinced that the people were right in
their judgment all along the line, but the
Examiner is convinced that every man elect
ed on either ticken is eminently qualified to
fill the position, and that the men are all
honest, conscientious and sincere. Bear
Lake county will have an able and efficient
administration Of her county affairs for the
next two years for her Office holders are all
the kind of men that should hold Offices of
public trust Some republican officers may
do things that the democrats do not approve
of, and the democrats may in turn displease
their republican friends or some officials
may displease certain critical ones Of either
or both parties The personnel of our new
ly elected county officials however is of
such high standard that they may be
counted upon ut all times to act as they be.
lieve is best. We all have our dissappoint-
ments in any election, but now the election
is over We are not republicans or democrats,
but just good American citizens, and our
motto should be to stand back of our county
officials and lend them every assistance in
their effort to administer the affairs Of the
county, fairly, impartialy, and in such man
ner as may reflect the greatest credit upon
the county.

RESULTS ARE ENCOURAGING.

The results in the Nation are most en-
couraging to those who have worked SO
hard to put the issues of the campaign
fairly and honestly before the people. The
people have distinctly shown two things
They approve of the Roosevelt policies for
they have given William H. Taft such a
vote as few aspirants for the Office ever
received. They approve of republican
policies and want to see the country remain
under the same political control as it has
during the prosperous times of the past few
years.
Whatever the result might have beer
in case of Mr.. Bryan's election need not
longer be considered and confidence shoult
now be completely restored, and the countr
should advance during the next four years
by leaps and bounds. Fear need not b,
entertained for future election for til,
magnificent majority received by Mr.. Tai
shows that the nation is now safe, and vii
not again be led into paths of new AM
dangerous experiments.

THE FIRE FIGHTERS.

The work Of the Montpelier Volunteer
Fire Department at the fire Wednesday
morning is striking example of the bene-
fit of such an organization to the City of
Montpelier
The operation Of the creamery in this
community had just commenced to prove
itself a complete success. The farmers are
beginning to realize that in the operation
of this institution new field is opened for
them, and perhaps the most profitable field
that they could take advantage of. Tt has
always been claimed that this is dairy
country. 1t remained to be proven and the
Montpelier Creamery has been fast prov
ing the contention.
Few industries could mean as much to
the community as this industry does, and
its importation for any long period of time
would substantially impede the growth of
this business, and all of the farmers who
have started to develop their farms along
these lines would have suffered.
When the fire department arrived on
the scene it looked as if the building was
doomed and the entire plant was to be de-
stroyed Such disaster would have been
a serious and telling blow to the community
and it's advancement. No number of men
working without purpose or leader could
have saved the plant from destruction.
The minute the fire department arrived on
the scene, AL Thiel the chief was the recog-
nized leader, and took charge of the work.
Everyone worked, in the fire department or
not, but they all worked with purpose, for
they were under recognized leader, and
the work counted. They had the equip
ment and the organization Owing to their
efforts the creamery will be ready to operate
again in few days, and the entire COM
munity has them to thank that one of their
most important industries has not been
seriously crippled.

It speaks we'll for the two candidates
for governor that they were both enthusi-
astically received in their home towns af-
ter returning from their campaign and that
they both received substantial majority
in their home towns Pocatello gave Mr..
Brady good majority and Boise gave Mr..
Alexander a good majority. Both are men
of the kind that should be honored' by such
u high position in the state as that of gov
ernor.

The state returns show that the peo-
pie have this year considered local issues as
paramount to national issues Idaho has
given an overwhelming majority for Taft,
thus expressing the peoples choice of party
doctrine. It is of course fact that all who
believed in Taft for president, believed just
as strongly in giving the president IA repub-
lican congress, yet in this year when sen
ator is to be elected they allowed local is
sues to turn them from their course because
of local issues which entered into consider
alton.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1908-11-06

It will be some time before the destiny
of the two measures that have formed such
a part of the campaign can ever be sur
missed 1t is rumored that the senate is
democratic. This would kill the local option
bill if it were true. A republican house
would probably not pass direct primary
bill.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1908-11-06

Indications point strongly to the belief
that the creamery was set afire by some
malicious person. Why anyone would strike
such blow at the people of Montpelier, is
hardly conceivable, but it nevertheless
seems to be ia It and the offender should
receive the greatest punishment prescribed
for such malicious destruction of property
if, by any chance, he should be apprehended

GLASS CUTTERS.

Every one engaged in the cut glass
industry should as matter of self pre-
servation do all they can for the election
of G. G.. Pratt, Republican candidate
for Congressman.
Both parties have pledged themselves
to Revision of the Tariff. The Repub-
lican party stands for protection to home
industries and opposes any reduction in
the tariff that will compel American
manufacturers to bring the wages of
their employees down to the level of
foreign labor, while the Democratic
party is using Tariff Revision as a masl,
for their Free Trade policies.
Cut glass is one of the articles that the
Democratic party believe should be free,
giving as their reason that it will effect
only few small localities. Wayne coun-
is one of these localities.
Mr.. Kipp's election will mean, that
we welcome this calamity, while vote
for G. G. Pratt will be notice to the next
Congress to let the tariff OH cut glass
alone.
