That Mormon Soap.

My ola friend J. c. Rich contributes
a very interesting historical write-up on
the early settlement of Bear Lake coun-
ty 10 the Christmas number OF the Ex-
amlner.
The writer of this article was not a
participant in the scenes OF those early
days In Bear Lake county, coming on
the stage of action as late IA 1880.
At that date Paris, the county seal,
where | was located for time, had be-
gan to assume metropolitan airs, shacks
being abandoned and comfortable new
nous IS taken their places.
My friend, the Judge, had erected
fine brick house. His father had also
brick house and many others had made
improvements which gave the town
very presentable appearance.
The hand cart and snow-shoe had been
abandoned for the buggy and bob-sled
aud the people had commenced to wear
store clothes.
Politics was already being manifest
ed in the county and my friend Joe was
publishing the Bear Lake Democrat,
the official organ Of the democratic
party. might add that politics was
one sided affair at that time, as all
voted the democratic ticket.
When the announcement was made
that Garfield was elected President OF
the United States there was no ratihca-
ton or celebration of the event until
evening when the writer procured
streamers of black crepe and decorated
the front of the Democrat Office, then
proceeded to discharge six chamber
battery of artillery and the celebration
WAS over. Say, but that was the lone
soonest ratification meeting the writer
ever attended. The next day the police,
looking for the cause of the explosion,
saw the decoration on the Democrat
Office and come to the conclusion that
there must have been funeral and they
had not been invited.
Judge Rich. the peace maker of the
valley, was away from home at the time
of this occurrence, but he said that il
he had been at home he would have
pointed us to the cooler to work off oul
enthusiasm.

Then the blacksmith got busy. He

ID EFORE Jim Tawney got into poll
ID tics up in Minnesota he was a
blacksmith. He was so rough that
they had to throw him down to put
him into a boiled shirt, some of his
warmest admirers say.
That blacksmith training proved
mighty good experience for him, and,
applying blacksmith methods to his
congressional career he has forged
to the front so rapidly that they do
say down here in Washington that
if Speaker Cannon doesn't look out
some day he will get run over, be-
cause Jim Tawney is coming with
wonderful strides.
Tawney is the man who would be

Often the Knox automobile and the

The federal courts have never
passed upon the question of the per-

a beverage an intoxicant. The state

VIZ census taken
w recently by the police force of
the District of Columbia indicates
that the national capital is growing
in population at an exceptional rate.
The increase in inhabitants for the
last year is reported as 9,812, which
would mean a growth, if steadily main
tanned, of almost 100000 for the cur
rent decade.
OF course such a rate of growth has
not been maintained since 1900 Ac-
cording to the federal census of that
year, Washington's population was
27S,718. The population reported by
the police in 1908 is 339,403, so that
the increase in eight years has been
