THE BANK OF MONTPELIER

Idaho can rest assured that the affairs will
be conducted in thoroughly honest and
business like manner. The document
shows that the governor is quite familiar
with the needs of the various state institn-
tions and he asks that these needs be care
fully looked after by the legislature. He
also expresses desire to assist the leoisIa-
tnre In every way possible in carrying out
the pledges of the party platform. On the
whole, it is just such message as we
might expect from man who has every
interest in the state at heart, and whose
every desire is to advance these interests
and keep Idaho's wheels of progress steadi-
ly revolving.

The Montnelier Creamery IL

The Montpelier Creamery is now pay
ing out monthly between $4,000 and $500 to
the farmers of this vicinity. This is quite
an item just at this time when business
generally is dull. If we had a half dozen
more institutions distributing similar
amounts monthly in the locality the talk
of ''dull tines would never be heard.
The merchant or farmer who would knock
an enterprise like our creamery, is certain
ly standing in his own light.

speakers.
One of the largest and most repre-

ever assembled in the name of relig-

church, at Birmingham, last month.
Eleven hundred and thirty-seven dele

of speakers from many parts of the
country presented aspects of Ameri-

AS an immediate outcome of the con-
Vention, about sixty thousand dollars

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all obieetien=

the strict examination which catechn-

standard of Christian character re-

it may seem strange that the wicket

represented as narrow; yet that is the
ScriptuaI figure also. Perhaps the
thought is that one must enter unen-

Certainly salvation is such a prize that
men should be willing to prove their
sincerity by making earnest effort and
real sacrifice in order to attain it.

NEW ENGLAND GIRLS
TALE ABOUT CRATER

Needham (Mass.) Chronicle.-A Hyde
Park girl, Miss Margaret B. Scott, has
written letter to her father, Walter
Scott, from Hilo, Hawaii, giving an ac
count of her recent visit to the famous
volcano at that place. After reading
this sketch, you may conclude that the
crater of volcano is a somewhat big
ger affair than you have supposed it
to be:
N"Here we are living on the brink
of one of the biggest volcanoes in the
world, The trip takes Con an island
steamer) from Tuesday noon until We'd
nesday at 10 a. m, when we reached
Hilo. We stayed two days in Hilo, got
a team and drove to several sugar plan
tations. Robert knows them all,
through doing work for them in the
iron works.
son Friday morning we started for
the volcano. The train took us up
twenty-five miles and we came the other
nine miles by stage. 1t is uphill and
the horses take over two hours to do
it. The Volcano House, or hotel, is
built ON the brink of the outer crater
and the trail goes down in front of the
hotel 500 feet to the lava bed or floor
as they call it. Then we have to walk
three and half miles across this lava
bed to the inner crater where the ac-
tivity is. The horses were then tied
up in shelter place and we went the
rest of the way on foot. Indeed lots
walk all the way from the hotel. We
did one day, but it is so hard coming
up part of the trail.
all II i -
of the way, and of course L was Just
wearying to get my first look into the
crater. Robert had seen it last June.
Well, [ did and it is just awful. That
seething, boiling mass of redhot lava
and it just roars like the sea or waves
beating up on the shore-that seems
the greatest wonder to me; then it will
lash itself up and flow over on to the
inner rim, that is of course 200 feet
down from us. A great mass of liquid
suddenly break and burst up in the air,
fountain of fire. They say that they
rise to thirty feet, but one would never
think SO from where we stand.
. 1t is grand by day and bright sun
light, but imagine it, if you can, as
darkness comes on and that glow be-
gins to come in the sky from it, and
the walls are all lighted. 1t is indie
scribable-you hate to leave it and 90
home. There is little shelter house
where we have coffee, which has been
warmed over the big heat cracks. We
have to jump over these cracks before
we come to the main pit. All around
the hotel are steaming cracks. The
whole ground steams, but these cracks
! speak of are not steam, it is just pure
heat. We stick postal cards down into
them and they get scorched.
g We are thinking of staying another
week here. The change is SO great
from Honolulu. 1t is 1000 feet above
sea level, so you can see it is good
and cool. There has been a good deal
OF rain since we came up, but we put
on our rain coats and go right ahead"
