FALL SOWING
WORTH WHILE

A. Boehme of Geneva, was over
Thursday making a number of
purchases and attending to busi-
ness in Montpelier. Mr.. Boehme
said that the dry farm crops in his
section of the country had done
remarkably well this season and a
number Of the farmers there have
.lready sold their grain.
The people of that community
according to Mr.. Boehme are fast
learning the value OF fall SEEDING.
rhey find that the crops yield better
when planted in the fall and that
they manage to divide the work
md give more time fol the spring
work. The spring is very short
with them OH account of the alti-
.ude and if they can get some of
he work done in the fall they are
in much better shape. The present

YOUNG WILL RECOMMEND
REDUCED INSURANCE RATES HERE
Splendid Work and Equipment Of Fire Depart
ment Attracts Attention and May Save
Property Owners Much Money.

laurence Young, thsVinsurance
adjastor who visited Montpelier
after the creamery fire, is of the
decided opinion that Montpelier is
entitled to a reduction IN her rate
of insurance, because OF the splendid
equipment she has for fighting fires.
Mr.. Young was convinced Of this
fact by the showing that was made
at the creamery fire. He looked
over the ground thoroughly, then
paid to the fire fighters a glowing
tribute. He SAID that IN saving this
wooden building after the fire had
game such headway they had per-
form ii remarkable feat and that
in re .cuing the machinery with so
little loss, yffeyshad, made a show

RAILWAY FREIGHT OFFICIALS
PREDICT ANOTHER COAL FAMINE
Say pea1ers Delay Ordering until Traffic IS so
CongeSted Orders Cannot be Filled Because
Of Track Conditions,

Chicago, Nov. 1o.-According
to the declaration of railroad freight
officials another coal famine Is
eyitable in the Northwest during
coming winter, and there is no way
to prevent it. They base their
opinions on the lack of prepared
ness at this time for strenuous
conditions.
The fault Is not with the rail-
roads, because for months they
have been urging dealers to put in
a good supply of fuel and not take
the chances they have on former
occasions, which subjected them TO
great deprivations and suffering
because the railroads were blocked
with snow and unable to afford
relief. A year or two ago the
dealers were accused of having
deliberately failed TO order a larg'
supply in order that they might pu

The Montpelier Volunteer Fire
Department will give grand bene.
fit Ball next Wednesday evening at
the Montpelier pavilion. The dance
is for the purpose of raising money
to establish fire alarm system.
The boys have looked into the
matter of q fire alarm system and
have found that, for a cost of be-
tween $3.50 and 5000 they can in
stall an efficient system of alarms
and have decided to raise the money
to do the work.
The plan as outlined contemplates
the establishment of ten boxes along
Main street between the depot and
Clark's grocery store. The system
will be so arranged that when the
alarm is turned In an enunclator in
the round house will tell exactly
where the box from which the
.!arm came is situated. There is
some one at the round house, day
aud night, and there Is always steam
With which to sound the alarm after
il is received and this is the reason
for having the enunciator in the
round house. A large gong will
hang over the enunciator, which
will sound when an alarm is turned
in and hand will indicate where
the fire is.

F|REMEN WILL INSTALL
A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Dance Next Wednesday Night to Raise
Funds--Good Time is Promised and
All Should Help in Good Work.

While the original plan contem'
plates establishing this system only
along Main street the firemen hope
that the citizens will cooperate in
the movement and lateral alarms
can immediately be installed.
1t has been decided that with the
establishment of alarms along Main
street and additional alarms at the
Presbyterian church corner, Doug
'Ias'es corner, Frank Jones corner,
one in Huff town and one on each
side of Main street up town, the
system will be quite complete and
will fairly locate any fire that may
start.
After the main system along Main
street is established it will not re-
quire any great expense to establish
the lateral boxes and if the citizens
benefited will contribute a small
amount the system will be easily
completed.
The dance to be given next We'd
nesday evening is for the purpose
of raising money to be used In in
stalling this system. The firemen
are anxious to have the hearty sup
port Of the people Of Montpelier
and this should be made one of the
largest dances ever given in the
city.

OFFICIAL COUNT
NOW COMPLETED

The official count of the ballots
has BEEN made in this county and
the results are substantially as
published In the last issue OF the
Examiner. A table is given IN
this issue, however, which gives the
official count in every precinct.
The election this year shows very
few changes in the county vote
except in political complexion.
The republican majorities are
greatly decreased, but this has all
been due to change in the politics
of the people living here for the
number of votes cast Is only IFS
more than two years ago. In the
last election 2317 votes were cast
IN the county. This year the vote
was 2495. Last election the repub.

up their prices with scarcity as an
excuse of SO doing.
In response to the great efforts of
the railroads during the past summer
to induce dealers to make large
and early storage, they insist that
they are without facilities to do so,
and have said also that they did
not care TO take the risk of storing
coal On the ground. They do not
appear to be alarmed by the possi-
bllity of famine. and believe that
whatever extra storage is required
should be provided by the railroads.
The latter have, therefore,, given
attention solely to storing their
own supply, ahead of consumption.

CREAMERY is NOW
RUNNING AGAIN
Damage has Been Repaired and Cream
is now Being Received--Trade is In
creasing Rapidly.

The recent fire which badly
damaged the plant of the Mont
peIier Creamery has in no way
crippled the industry as every one
has united in the effort to have
the plant running again as quickly
as possible. By Thursday the
management expected to churn
again and by tbs end of this week
the plant will again be in full opera
tion as If nothing bad happened.
The management of the institution
has worked hard on this matter, as
they realize that the Creamery
industry here is great benefit to
the community and will be good
business as soon as it is developed
to the proper proportions. The
insurance companies who carried
the risk on the plant acted quickly.
The insurance adjustor was here IN
a day or two after the fire. An
adjustment was made which Is
satisfactory to all concerned and
everything has conspired to the
assistance Of the Creamery people
In getting things repaired and again

This year the vote cast was 684,
while two years ago it was 6s4.
An interesting point connected
with the vote of the county wat
that the people really took slighl

cast in the county 81 voters did
not vote either way on the question

believe the industry has been dan
aged in any way.
In speaking of the growth of the
business, Mr.. Small states that he
expects the patronage to continue C
increase as the people of the valley
are fast learning that milking COWS
is one of the most profitable things
they can do on the ranch while tht
creamery is in operation here. A
number of people who doubted al
first whether or not IT was worth
the trouble have convinced them
selves be ond doubt that it is 8
great revenue producer on the farm
and are planning to enlarge theil
herd Of cows just as fast as they car
get good stock. Many, who a
6rst took no interest IN the affair
are now planning to milka q numbe
Of cows. In fact it Is fast being
demonstrated that this valley Il
