A few days ago the secretary of
TIE Chamber of Commerce received
letter from gentleman at Bear
Greek, Mont, asking for some des.
c-iptlve literature of this city and
surrounding country. But Alas!
the secretary didn't have SO much as
a scratch of pen to send the gentle
man. And what a shame it is, too,
that no effort il being made to boost
Bear Lake county along with the
other counties of the state, especial
" those of the Southeastern portion.
Bear Lake is today the only coun-
W in the state that is not receiving
new life and new capital from otheI
sections of the nation. And Why
1t is because we have no induce
ments of offer home seekers; is i
because we do not want them; or il
it because we haven't the energy Il
advertise our resources to the out

1t is true we do not possess a

we might advertise and that is, tina

statement of the future policy OF

Every effort will be made to make
the Examiner first class local news

county that it is possible to obtain.
The Examiner for a number OF
years has ranked well among the
country papers of Idaho and an en-
deavor will be made to retain its
present prestige and improve it IN
every way possible.
The excellence of newspaper,
however, depends largely on the,
patronage 1t receives and the c9-
operation of the citizens of the COM
munity and their attitude towa I'd
the paper. 1t is a pretty generally
conceded fact that newspaper does
more for the building up and well
fare of the town and community
gratuitously than any other agency
and for this reason is deserves and
should receive liberal support of the
business men and property holders
Realizing that newspaper, pro
perly conducted, Is potent factor
in the development and progress o
town great care will be taken L
make certain that the Examiner
exerts a proper influence, that it
existence may be benefit and he'll

This paper will studiously avo't

''town fights" believing that it is {
newspapers duty to represent tn
interests of the whole communit,
and to harmonlze, when possible
the discords which often prove 3
detrimental to many small towns.
The Examiner will be, as 1t ha
been in the past, booster an
boomer. 1t will never tire of e.
plotting the resources and adval
tages of this section of the mo-
rapidly growing and best state

Politically, the paper will renal

The advertising rates of the Ex-
SINNER are much lower than other
papers of Idaho having smaller cir
culatluns. Notwithstanding that
new readers have been constantly
added to the list for years, the ad-
vertising rates have remained the
same. This Is a fact that shou' d
be taken advantage of by the mer.
chants of Montpelier. Advertising
today is recognized as one of the
leading factors in building up an,
kind of business.
