A man called at a downtown sky
scraper one Saturday recently to look
for friend on the twelfth floor. Some
of the elevators had been laid off for
the day, and thinking that all had
ceased to run he climbed the twelve
flights of stairs, found the office locked,
and then, like the soldier of old,
"marched down again." Inquiry re-
vealed the fact that he cou1 have made
the tour by elevator if he had gone
to the other side of the hall. "The
man got even," said the starter, in
telling the story, "for he rode up and
down for nearly an hour, to get rest.

one to whom he could unburden him.

THE BANK OF MONTPELIER

They are conducting the city election
on non partisan lines in Idaho Falls and
here is what the Register of that city has
this to say about the situation:
1.-THE Register believes if party lines
are of Importance in state campaign they
are just as important in a county and II IN
the county just the same in city. With
three conglomerated tickets in the field no
one knows where he stands among his
friends. When republicans are working to-
gether they are not looking for political
favors from democrats and when the cleo
ton is over, all the feeling is over; there
are no heartburnings to be healed; the win
ming party are responsible for the action
of the officials, while with the congomc rlteo
tickets there seems to be no party or per
sons responsible for any thing. We sin
cerely hope that this will end mixed tickets
in the City of Idaho Falls; we would mucf
prefer to go down to defeate fighting fo
the principles of the party to which w
belong than win with mixture Of half
dozen political parties.

PARTY LINES ARE DRAWN.

Well, it has finally been decided to con
Quoted the city campaign in Montpelier on
partisan lines. The republicans and demo-
Gratis have placed tickets in the field and
adopted platforms pledging the nominees to
carry out certain principles, and it is now
up to the voters to say, by their ballots, on
Tuesday, April 9th, which set of men they
wish to govern the city during the ensuing
two years. Both tickets are composed of
men who are we'll known in the city and
while the Examiner has not word to say
against the qualifications of those who com
pose the democratic ticket, we feel that the
republicans have placed a ticket in nomi-

favorably to every member of that party

platform is devoid Of any high-sounding
platitudes or catchy phrases 1t declares
in plain, terse language for progressive
vet economical administration and a we'll
governed city. The nominees for mayor
and councilmen are men who have the wei
fare of the city at heart and are broad
minded enough to give all interests "a
square deal"

Not a Switzerland.

Col Allen Miller in his annual report
as commissioner of immigration has the fol-
lowing to say regarding Idaho being oc-
casonally referred to as the ''SwitzeI land
of America"
''Foreigners and tourists have fallen in
the habit of comparing the state of Idaho
to Switzerland. and some Idaho people
thinking. no doubt, that it sounds of learn
ing and smacks of travel, have fallen into
the same habit The comparison, except as
to scenery, wholly fails and if massiveness
and elevation constitutes the sublime, it
fails even as to scenery. Indeed, it fails in
every respect. Switzerland has not quite
10000 square miles of territory, Idaho has
81, 500 square miles, a great majority of the
llnd of Switzerland has an elevation Of
over 1000 feet, very large majority of the
lands in Idaho lie below 5000 feet; Switzer-
land, after thousands of years of intense
Cultivation. has only little over million
and half acres of cultivated land; idaho,
with little over generation ofindifferent
effort, has over 5000, 900 acres under the
pillow; Switzerland has no minerals of any
kind worth mentioning; Idaho has untold
wealth in her hills and mountains; Switzer-
land has never contributed dollar to the
worlds standard Of value; Idaho has already
flung into the marts of trade and commerce
$500, 100000 of the yellow metal; Switzer
land supports 5000, 900 people; Idaho has a
population of only 300, 600; Switzerland has
penury and pOvery as reward for toll;
Idaho has competence, wealth, riches for
the sober and Industrious"

It is just important that there should
be full vote cast at city election as it j.
at state and county elections, because the
men who are elected to the council are the
guardians of city's finances, while upon
the mayor rests the enforcement of the or
dinances. Every qualified elector should
be interested enough in the government OF
his city to express choice for city officers.

Postal Telegraph
Will Quit CifY

Announcement was made this MORN
ing by Manager T. A. Pieplow, that
the office of the Postal Telegraph
company in this city, will be discon-
tinued after this week. Business will
be conducted until next Monday morn
ing. however as usual.
The Postal company has never owned
a line into Walla Walla and has been
using one leased from the Pacific
States Telegraph & Telephone COM
pany. Owing to the inability Of the
two companies to agree on terms OF
another lease at the expiration of the
present one on February 1, the office
here will be discontinued. While il
will more than likely be reopened in
the future, no definite statement is
made concerning this.
Manager T. a. Pieplow, who has been
in charge of the affairs of the COM
pany for more than year, has been
considering an offer in Seattle, made
him by the company, and may remove
to that city in the near future, al
though he is not yet ready to announce
his plans. Under the management OF
Mr.. Pieplow, the business of the COM
pany has more than doubled here and

This action was taken after heated

The question came up on the report

State "U" Cuts
w. s. f. off List

Despite the fact that the rules of the
conference of the northwest colleges
Of the Pacific coast nave been made
definite and that there remains lit
tie chance for evasion or dispute, at
a recent meeting of the board Of ath-
letic control of the university of Wash
ington, Victor ZedniGA, general man
ager of athletics, was instructed not to
schedule any athletic contests with the
Washington state college teams in the
future.
At previous meeting, the state COL
lege had been cut off the football list
but the board has now placed the ban
on all Pullman teams. No reason was
given, but it is known the action fol-
lows the dispute between the two in
Stitutions at the close of the last foot
ball season, when he university ac-
cused the state college Of playing
ringers on it's eleven and deliberate

Just why the state university, which
played Eakins and Mucklestone, as
well as Coyle. feels called upon to take
this step is hard to say. If Pullman
played one ineligible, or two she was
not travelling alone when she met the
state university.

WdIId WdlId Fruit Crop
Benefited by Cold Snap

ever, Mr. Whitney, who has made a
thorough examination of a number of
peach orchards, is convinced that the
slight damage resulting will work a
benefit, rather than an injury.
That Walla Walla fruit was dam
aged so slightly, in comparison with
that of the Yakima country is due,
according to Mr. Whitney, to the fact
that the mercury here did not reach so
low a point as was recorded farther
north. Fruit men of this section are
looking forward to one of the best
peach crops ever harvested, and the
demand is expected to be bettr than in
prviOuS years. Yakima has heretofore
sent out hundreds of tons of peaches,
but the amount exported this year has
ben estimated at only a few carloads.
Thus Walla Walla peach growers
feel greatly encouraged because of the
excellent prospects for a big demand
for Made in Walla Walla" peaches.

CdIderhedd Back
From St. Paul

General Agent S. B. Calderhead, of
the Northern Pacific, has returned from
a two weeks visit in ST. Paul and other
eastern cities where he had been to
look after business intere ts of his
road. Mr.. Calderhead left Nalla Wal
la during the cold snap, and when he
arrived in st. Paul what is known
there as January thaw" was in ef-
feet. No severe weather was encoun-
tered on the eastern side of the noun
tains, though there were some minor
delays resulting through washouts
along the line.
Mr.. Calderhead reports that the
train on which he returned from st.
Paul came through practically on
schedule. and was the first one on
time in several days. Delayed freigh
shipments are moving rapidly. and
within a day or so it is thought th>
congestion due to cessation of traf-
fic during the thaw will be entirely
eliminated.
