NEGROES IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE
Continued from Page Two.)

Continued from Page Two)
District of Columbia the proportion of me-
groes is not so pronounced, yet there are
1857 Of them on Uncle Sans pay rolls.
Eighteen of them receive annual salaries of
$4,000 and over. Twelve hundred of them
get more than $1,000 year.
Chiefly in Postofice.
Outside the District the increase in colored
employees is chiefly in the postoffee depart
ment. Throughout the South more negroes
are taking the examinations For clerks and
carriers And Of course the administration
has been generous when it came to appoint
ments in the unclassifed service
Officials do not have much to say in regard
to the increasing number Of colored employees
in the departments. In one way there is moth
ing to be said. The negroes take the exami-
nations in open competition to win. That's
all there is to it. Nobody is supposed to
know, when the examination paper Of John
Smith comes to hand, whether said John Smith
is black or white. The papers are marked,
the averages listed and the notifications sent
out to those who head the list.
A typical case came under the writer no.
tice not long ago. An elevator boy was earn
ing 500 month in an apartment house. He
was an intelligent negro, about q. No white
man of that age, no matter what his educa-
ton or ability, would have been contented
week in such a job
But the negro took it because he hadn't
much choice anyway and because he would
not take the alternative Of getting out and
tackling real hard labor. For all his clever
ness and his education, in fact, largely be-
cause of them he preferred his neat and easy
job at 500 rather than to earn two or three
times as much at some unpleasant work out
side.
In the meantime he did as the rest Of the
young negroes were doing--took civil ser
vice examination. Months went by, and sud-
denly one day notification came that George

tributors water script for the
amount advanced to the city.
1t has been estimated that by an
advancement of an average of $25
per lot the city would be able to
complete the lateral system. II
would not mean that this amount
was being contributed, simply that
the people living on side streets
would pay the water rent IN ad-
vance to this extent. They would
simply be out the interest on their
money, and would enjoy in return
the security of knowing that their
homes were protected from fire.

DEATH ENDS CAREER
OF A NOBLE WOMAN
Mrs. Elizabeth Bulge Of Paris, IS Ca1led--En-
tire Community Mourns Loss-Was Pio-
neer Of This Valley.

Paris, April 2.-"Great God thy
will be DONE was the uttered
prayer of hundreds of people when
the news of Sister LIZZIE Budge's
Heath, which occurred last Monday
morning at o'clock M, sped
throughout the city Of Paris and
surrounding towns and Villages.
all of the old settlers and many of
the younger families IN Bear Lake
valley knew Sister Bulge and to
know her was to love her with the
deepest devotion. She had been a
sufferer for many years and every
one knew of it, and her patient and
loyable disposition.
Sister Lizzie Bulge was born on
the l2th day of November, 1888, in
Birmingham, England, and at the
age Of 25, joined the church Of
Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints.
Two years la.er, or n The year 1880
she emlgrated to Utah, crossing the
plans from Council Bluffs to Salt
Lake City with a train composed
partly of OK teams and partly of
hand carts. Owing to the wagons
being heavily loaded it became
necessary for some 10 walk, and to
the credit of Sister Bulge, who was
then a young lady, she walked
nearly everyssstep of the way across
that trackless wilderness. What
must have been the faith of q
woman who could endure such
hardships for what she believed 10
he true.
Sister Bulge was married ct Salt
Lake City, Utah, to. VIM Bulge,
then an elder in the church in the
year 1901. Later. she in company
with her husband moved to Proyi-
dence, Utah, and from there to
Paris, Idaho, in the fall of the
year 1868, where she has lived eyer
since and has raised her splendid
family. Sister Bulge is the mother
of nine children, six Of whom are
living and are Judge Alfred Bulge,
Elder Arthur Bulge, DIR. Frank
Bulge, Mrs. Joseph r. Shepherd,
Mrs. William Pendry Of this city,
and Mas. II. Duffin of st. Anthony

ENCOURAGE FIRE

Members of the city council who

necessity Of o fire department have
said that they would support It IN
every way possible. The names Of

fore the council, as it is the plan to
ask some person to take charge of
the organization Of the department.
The business year ends with the
city the second Tuesaday in May.
After that time the council men,
bers say that they will order hose
carts, hose, and necessary equipment
for the company. A fire head

ORDERS
A STEAM PLOW

The Cokeyille Farming and De-

of which has just been completed,
have ordered for immediate deliy-
cry, a steam plow, together with
leveller, harrow and separator. In
starting this movement the promo.
ters are filling long felt want in
this community. The machinery
ordered is Of the latest and most APP
proved type. With the equipment
they will haYe, the members of the
company say they will be aLle to
do anything in the steam power
line. The engine will be an Avery

PLAN IS ON FOOT
TO EXTEND LATERALS
Citizens viii Cooperate and Advance Water Rem

Approximate Cost SIS per Lot.

A plan 10 on foot among the clti-
zens TO have an immediate exten-
sion of the laterats to the water
works system, and if it is success
full the laterals may all be completed
before fall.
The city at the present time has
not the money on hand TO extend
the laterals although the menb bers
of the council recognize the need of
the work. The city is already
bonded SO nearly to the extent Of
its limitations, that they regard it
as useless expense TO issue more
bonds.
The citizens of the town have
taken the matter up and are sug-
gestlng that persons interested in
having the laterals extended along
the streets on which they live co.
operate and advance to the city two,

meets with the approval of the
members of the council, and they
say that if the citizens will do this

The choir sang "Abide with me-
and prayer was offered by President

the funeral services over the re-
mans of az noble character as
ever graced the earth. After the
funeral the body was conveyed TO
the old home and from there, was
taken the following day TO Logan,
Utah, where it will be inferred in
the Logan cemetery, within two
miles of where she spent her first
few years of married life.
Sister Bulge was IN her 10Th
year, and has only one sister living,
who resides at Echo, Utah, and was
too aged and feeble TO attend the
funeral. A niece, daughter of this
aged lady, Mrs. Eliza Jane Edwards
attended the funeral.
In conclusion the family through
the columns Of the paper wish TO
thank everyone who lent a kind
hand or offered q loving word of
comfort. There was meyer . time

Bulge, but every one who knew her
was not ready to do all in their
power to render assistance, and the
f4mily appreciate all this kindness

What One Business Man Thinks Of the

When Mr.. D. MeLennan was presented his adj J
vertising bill for the month Of March he seemed
anxious pay it that he asked by the Examiner
representative if he satisfied with the results
obtained.
81 find your advertising is great help TO my
business he said. ssWhen first started to advertise
thought my firm was so well known that [ could
compsh little by advertising have found out that
get good results from advertisement in your
paper.
"A few weeks ago advertised some apples for sale.
had good sales all week. | ommited the ad next
issue and the following week had sales in this line.
then inserted it again and the next day after the
paper ISSUED my sales commenced again on the
apples.
Mr.. McLennans experience is but common among
patrons of The Examiner advertising columns. The
Examiner reaches the greater percentage of the homes
that Montpelier merchants look to for business.

The members of the council aft r
going carefully over the entire sys

the system as now completed is a
masterpiece of work, and that the
city of Montpelier can boast of as
good fire protection as any city
of her size in the state.
Careful tests of the force were
made. At the depot the pressure
