HorSemen Will Cele-
brate Two Days
April 2O-21.
SHOW FINE HORSES
Offer Prizes for Best Pulling Team,
and Purse for Horse Race.
Outside Horses VIII Not
be Admitted.

At meeting of the horse men of
the county heldxMonday afternoon
in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce 1t was decided to hold a
horse show in Montpelier April 90
and 81.
There was good and representa-.
tive attendance at the meeting and
every one was enthusiastic on the
topic. The horse men are deter
mined to make a success of the event
and will plan general -ce,ebration
for those two days. Motions were
carried at the meeting which author
lied the committee to- offer purse
for horse race, and another one
for pulling contest. The general
sentiment expressed at the meeting
was to the effect that the committee
should bend every effort to make
the event thorough success, and it
is probable other features . will be
added as the committee learns what
funds will be available.
G. c. Gray was elected chairman
of the meeting and G. Olsen of
Ovid secretary. After fixing the
date of the fair there was consider
able discussion as TO what horses
should be allowed to enter. The at
tending horsemen were of the
opinion that IL would be unfair TO
the local horsemen 20 allow autside
horses to enter. 1t was finally de-
cided To only admit horses actually
owned by residents of Bear Lake
county and residents of the Coke
VILE, Randolph and Star valley set
Elements.
The chairman appointed rs an
executive committee to have charge
of the arrangements, Nephi Skinner
of Nounan, Jim Hansen of Benning-
ton, A. M. Rich of Paris. w. J..
Hunter of Marlboro, q. Olsen Of
Ovid and John A. Perkins of Mont
pelIer.
BY motion Mr. Gray was made
member of the finance committee
for the soliciting of funds. lie ap-
pointed with him on the committee
I. Stevens of Montpelier and c. ii.
Brown of Liberty.
The finance committee was in
structed to make it's first report
next Monday at which time the
executive committee will also meet
and will probably be ready TO make
further announcements of their
plans.

GRAY WILL BUILD
Plans Fine Structure at North and
Main Street.
WILL MOVE THE BANK THERE
Plans are Now In. Hands Of Architects
and Nature Of Building Under
Consideration.

Montpelier is to have new busi
ness building this summer. G. G.
Gray of the Bank of Montpelier has
decided to build on the corner of
Ninth and. Main street.
Just the nature of the structure
that will be erected has not yet been
decided upon. Mr.. Gray now has
the matter under consideration and
is consulting with the firm of Mon
son and Schaub, architects, as to
his plans. There is room for a
building SO 80 on the property
and the indications are hat a two
story modern brick or stone build
ing of these dimensions will be
erected.
The bank will probably occupy
the corner and large room having
two entrances, one on Main street
ana the other on Ninth Will be Tor
rent to some enterprising merchant
who will want one of the best loca
tions In Montpelier. Nothing def
mite has been decided as to the
second story but Mr.. Gray has a
number of ideas under consideration
as to the architecture and use of
this part of the building.
Mr.. Gray when asked as to his
plans stated that none of the arrang-
.nents were finally decided upon,
and that much would depend upon
the prices of material and the ap-
parent demand for the rooms.
"One thing is sure" he said "I
will have to build this summer"

HAVE WATER NOW
Water Turned in Mains Yesterday
and System is Ready for Use.
READY NOW TO CONNECT
Montpelier Buildings Can Now be
Modern In Every Respect. First
Trial a Success.

At last the people of Montpelier
can say that they have water
works system. They have been
say ing they would have one for
some time, but yesterday the water
was turned in, and now everything
Is ready. If there was a fire IN
town tonight hose could be attached
and the stream turned on the flames.
People who have been wishing they
had the water in their houses have
now only to get the plumbing done
and make the connections.
The water was turned in yester-
day at II o'clock by Mr.. Monson
of the firm of Monson and Schaub
who have had the construction in
charge and Mr.. Monson stated
yesterday evening that everything
worked like a charm. The pipes
filed Immediately and before the
team could drive down to town al
fast pace the water was bursting
through the open end of the pipes.

DRY FARM A SUCCESS
STEAM ENGINE IS ORDERED
VIII Operate on Large Scale This
SeaSon-Winter has been
Ideal for Sheep Men.

Experiments made within the past
few years have demonstrated that
the land surrounding Cokeville is
adapted TO dry farming, and tho
people of that section are expecting
a remarkable growth in their COM
munity this year. Several t'okevllle
people are visiting in Montpelier
this week and conversation with
them discloses that their hopes are
well founded.
Until very recently the lands sur
rounding Cokeville have been re-
garded as worthless because they
could not be watered. Some of the
more enterprising of the settlers de-
cided to try dry farming. Last year
Pete Olsen sowed Is acres to oats,
ond harvested 600 bushels of good
grain.
This year dry farming will be
taken up on large scale. Won
Hufford, who represents a local
company, has ordered steam plow
and will operate extensively this
coming season. The people have
every faith in the enterprise and be,
lieve the value of their lands will be
increased materially through this
experlment.
Fine Year for Sheep.
Pete Olsen, who was Montpelier
visitor several days this week, states
that the winter just closing has been
almost an ideal one for the people
of Cokeville in wintering their sheep.
"The sheep we have had on the
range" he said, s'are in almost as
good condition as those we haye
fed" Mr.. Olsen also states that
the prospects are fine for large
crop of good wool. Not only have
the sheep excellent coats, but ther
has been little wind, and the sand
has not blown into the wool.
There will probably be more
sheep in the country than usual.
The prosperous times of the past
few years have placed the shee ?
men where they did not need to sell
off their stock, and many of the
larger growers have made arrange
ments to increase their herds.

Republican Central Com
mittee Holds RouS-
ing Meeting.
THE DATE IS NAMED
For Holding County Convention at
Paris---Party Leaders Talk Of
Work for the Coming
Campaign.

The republicans of Bear Lake
county fred their first gun in the
coming political contest last Satur-
day when the county central COM
mittee held rousing meeting and
fixed the date and place for holding
the first convention.
The Paris delegation took the
plum home in their pocket and April
25th at o'clock was fixed as the
date. At this convention IA dele
gates will be chosen to attend the
Wallace convention where idaho's
representatives to the National Con
vention will be selected.
II the members of the committee
have decided upon their choice for
the presidential nomination they
did not make their position known
either in the meeting or IN the lob
by. Their sacred allegiance to
republican principles was several
times made known in bursts of
eloquence and it Is safe to say that
the man will have to be a dyed-in-
the-wool, old line republican that
will meet their approval.
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman O. E. Wright who
greeted the delegates with few ap-
propriate remarks and stated the
purpose of the meeting.
After brief discussion it was
decided to hold separate conventions
for electing each set of delegates to
the state conventions. After decid-
ing to hold the first convention at
Paris April 25th, the following
committee was appointed to decide
upon and apportionment: I. Doug
las, w. l.. Rich, s. E. Hymas,
Frank Wright, ALI A. Hart. The
vote of the last election on Burton
l.. French for congress was chosen
as basis. Each precinct was given
one delegate at large and one ad-
ditional vote for every ss votes cast
or major portion thereof. This will
make "a delegates to the Paris con-
vention, and the apportlonment to
the various precincts will be as fol.
lows.

this is the thing he people are inter
ested in-will the Roosevelt program
and policies be continued? 1t is a mat
ter of common knowledge that the
Roosevelt program is not SO warmly
endorsed by senators and officials TAX
ing them at large as it is by the peo-
pie. The Iowa senators and the gov
ernor may be ardent supporters Of
that program, but If Iowa has any tn
fluence among the states it will do no
harm to throw the states influence
upon the side of the people. For this
reason the republicans Of the state
will do well to select their delegates
at large from among those who are
close to the people and who are not
office holders with any axes to grind.
Mr.. Lane is suggested al one of the
four delegates at large for the addi-
tional reason that this part of Iowa
has not had q delegate at large for
many years. Mr.. Lane represents no
faction, but is a representative repub-
lican who will have the support Of
this entire district for the place, ana.
because Of the high esteem in which
he is held throughout Iowa. The Times
believes that he will be chosen as one
Of the four men who will represent
the state at the Chicago convention.

style with a slice Of hog meat is a pal
atable treat. Also it has been 10
secret that when kept too long in cold
storage the egg has a way Of offering
up an incense second only to limberger
cheese in strength and singleness of
purpose. But aside from these points
little is known about the egg, thus the
conclusion reached by the American
Society for the Advancement Of
Science is of interest:
ct is significant that the position
of the micromeres, with reference to
the induced strata, is much less con-
slant than the direction Of the first
two cleavage planes, though the latter
also diverge in some cases."
After this explanation such ques-
tons as why does a hen cross the
road?" and IF a hen and half lay an
egg and a half" etc, should get a
ready answer from even the most
dense.

THE GoopE FAMILY TRAGEDY.

A little study in sociology Is afford
ed by the events of the last few days
IN which Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Goode of
Des Moines figure. Goode. whose con-
duct sometimes belied his name, has
made it a practice for years of beat
Ing his wife. Mrs. Goode meekly took
the beating as part of her wifely duty
and her love for hef spouse seemed
The stronger. But n day Goode at
tempted to beat his wife when the
oven wasn't working well and a bak-
Ing of bread had been taken out with
a crust of black, and the meek wife
fought back-fought back so success
fully that when the police came she
was sitting on him. Then her love
cooled, and, with her husband in jail,
she sought out the judge to get In
struction as to how best to proceed IN
the matter of securing a divorce.
The officer whose duty it has been
periodically to call at the Goode home
to prevent the husband from going
too far when he felt moved to beat
his wife, freely confessed that he could
not understand this late move of Mrs.
Goodies. Said he:
There is no use ever trying to un-
WcniSu. l uST9 Is LQ1S WOm-
an Knocking down to her husband for
years. He could come home drunk
and beat her--yet she still loved him.
He kept this up until last week she
suddenly turned while he was engaged
in the playful habit of thrashing her
and walloped the dickens out of him.
Just as soon as she has found out she
can lick him. now she don't like him
any more"
1t is unfortunate for the happiness
OF the Goodies that the husband tried
once too often to demonstrate his mas
terry in the household. If he had been
content to rest on his laurels with an
unbroken record of victory in the fam
fly's rows Mrs. Goode today might be
a loving and faithful wife, glorying IN
n strength and prowess Of her
spouse and belittling her own mean
accomplishments in the fstic line. The
only peculiar feature of the case is
that Mrs. Goode does not refrain from
getting her divorce until she has prop.
erly evened the score.

LANE FOR DELEGATE AT LARGE

Davenport Times.-The Times takes
the liberty of proposing to the repub-
licans of Iowa the name of Joe R.
Lane of Davenport for delegate at
large to the republican national con-
vention at Chicago next June. Mr..
Lanes name is proposed because 1t is
believed that the practice of giving
the position Of delegates at large to
the senators and state officials Is not
a practice which secures the unre-
strained expression of the opinion of
the republicans of the state in the ma.
tional delegation. Men who have
been honored with positions as sena
tors or as state officials do not need
the additional honor of representing
the party at the national convention,
and there is no reason for constituting
failure to place them on the delega-
ton as any d~iscourtesy.
On the other hand, these ofjcials up-
doubtedly will be willing to step, aside
and allow other men from the state
to go to the national convention. The
officials represent the people, to be
sure, but are selected to make or ex-
ecute laws, not to formulate a party
platform or to nominate a president.
They will undoubtedly be willing to
allow the rank and file of the party
to do these things. Mr.. Lane is no
an Office holder. He is in close touch.
with the people, not only of this dis
trict, but of the whole state. He is.
too, a representative man, OF broad
views and large acquaintance. He is
as fully competent in every way to
represent Iowa at the national con-
v~eption as Is either OF the senators cr
the governor.
1t is unnecessary to speak further
of Mr.. Lanes qualifications for the po-
sition There is no man, not an office
holder, who Is better known through
out the whole Of Iowa.
It VA be recalled that at the con-
vention held May 1S, 1904, in Des
Moines, the selection of the delegates
at large was something of a compro-
mise, an endeavor to please factions
and to prevent friction. AS a result
Allison. Dolliver. Cummjns and Blythe
were named. But the convention of
1904 was of little Importance. Its
work was mapped for it. Roose-
welt was sure to be nominated. The
only possible contest was over the
platform.
Conditions are not the same now.
No n can forecast who will be nom
mated. R%oosevelt's emphatic mo" has
made it clear that he cannot be nom.
mated again, even if that were expedi-
ent. which it is not in the light of the
traditions of the country. But-and
