His presence in that body will do
much to correct the impression that

depot along. | believe, said Mr..
Otte, that if a committee from the
clnb would wait upon the railroad
officials at Salt Lake and present
the matter to them in the proper
light 1t would have this desired
effect. He knew that other towns
had accomplished results in that
manner and he felt that it was GER
tainly time Montpelier was making
an effort to secure this much need

ment.
The race track and horse show
questions were discussed at con-
siderable length. Lish Strong, who
has race track in course of con.
struction, expressed the belief that
ii would be possible to hold good
race meet here this fall If suitable
purses were offered. A committee
was appsinted, consisting of Frank
Jones, ]. A. Barrett and G. G..
Gray to see what sum the business
men would subscribe for purses and
to assist Mr.. Strong in nNany way
possible to push this enterprise
along. The committee was also
instructed to see what could be done
toward holding hose show here
this spring.
The next hour or more was spent
in partaklng of delicious Dutcn
lunch, enjoying fragrant haYanas
and in. pleasant social intercourse.
The evening was one Of pleasure.
and profit to all present, and If more
of such gatherings could be had we
believe they would be the means Of
bringing the business men in closer
touch with each other and incite
them to work as a unit for the ad-
vancement of the town.

WHY GENERAL SCHOOL
LEVY WAS REDUCED
Former Board of County Commission
ers Makes Reply to Criticisms Re-
garding Their Action.

~1O~ 49,
formed the trustees that she
ssthought" the school levy was
thirty-four cents, and also that
another party told the school board
that he knew 1t was only thirty
cents, SO taking this information as
authority and without consulting
the records, THESE gentlemen base
their figures on q thlrty-cent levy,
which is wrong. The commission
ers did not intend to reduce the
amount of tax in any school dis
trict, but figured that the increased
valuation of property based on the
amounts already levied in the school
districts, would about make up for
the reduction made in the general
school levy
The amount of special tax collect
ed in Paris school district for the
year 1907, was $l347.49, while III
1908, the sum of $l48l.68 is placed
to their credit, or an increase of
$l14.26, so this particular school
district is not short great deal of
revenue after all as compared with
the previous year.
The facts are, the public schools
of the county are not escrippled and
handicapped, as the author Of the
ARTICLE in the Post would have the
public believe, as the County Treas
Hrer's school ledger on Feb. End
showed a balance on hand Of $11,-
304. 4s to the credit of the school
districts in the county, outside of
Montpelier. The sums TO the credit
of the several districts will be snffi-
cient to run the schools in nearly
every district their full term, not
withstanding the expenses of the
schools in The larger DISTRICTS this
year is greater than ever before,
More new furniture, books, langu.
age series, improvements and etc.,
have been purchased than usual, be.
sides an increase in teachers salaries
in Paris and some other districts.
1t was only intended that thi
general school levy should be rednc
ed the one year and for the reaeonl
as already stated, SO 1t Is altogethe
unnecessary for the districts to ap
point q committee to walt on th,
present board of county commiss
toner's and petition them to raise tn
general school levy, for the reason
that these gentlemen are men o
good judgment and business ability
{ and they can readily see that tn
/ school levy can be doubled IN Sep
tember and without raising tn
state and county levy one cent, bt
/ cause they won, have twelve or fl
r teen thousand dollars in outstandln
i warrants staring them in the face.

enjoyable evening at the club rooms
last Friday night in commemoration
of the Tooth anniversary of Abra.

Chamber of Commerce, called the
meeting to order and after stating
the object of the gathering, intro

reviewed Lincoln's life and the

''that | am native of the state
which gave this nation such great
land good man and while | was iden-
tilted with the confederacy during
that terrible struggle, realized, as
did every southern man, that in the
death of President Lincoln the
south had lost its best friend. Had
he not been stricken by an assassln's
bullet, the reconstruction of the
south would have been accomplish
ed much sooner than it was. | be-
lleve that there would have been
none of the "carpet bag" rule which
prevailed under the administratl ons
of Johnson and Grant"
Mr.. Glenn related number of
incidents which portrayed the sor-
row that Lincoln felt for the south
and his willingness to forgive those
that had fought to disrupt the
nation.

county, and especially few located
in Paris, seem to have taken excep-
tion to an item on .Suhool Matters"
published in the Paris Post January
22nd, and the trustees of that dis
trlct, in an effort to explain to the
public the cause of shortage IN
school funds, condemns very strong
ly the action of the old board Of
county commissioners for reducing
the general school levy of 1909, and
have requested an explanation.
First, we deslre To call attention
to the fact that the s'Item on School
Matters" was prompted no doubt,
from the fact that some Of our demo-
cratic friends of Paris, made the
charge before election, and have
continued the same charge since
election, that the only reason the
schools are short of funds, is from
the fact that the republican board
of Commissioners reduced the school
levy from fifty-four cents to thirty
cents, which was the cause of the
reduction in the state and county
levy, and was done only for "po-
licital effect
- -.
Now let US get at the facts of the
case The tax levy for the year 1907
was $2.74, winch was reduced by
the board of commissioners as fol-
lowss
Sta levy was reduced from Tss to .68
Curren Expense levy was re-
duced from ....... -. .s12 to "A

Bond levy was reduced from 10 to .05
School levy reduced from. 81 to 30

So as a matter Of fact, all the
levfes were reduced instead of only
a cut on the schools as our demo-
cratic friends would have you be-
lieve, and the school levy was fixed
at lhlrty.five and not thirty cents.
Now for the sspartlcular reasons

for the reason thats we have alway
been one year behind IN our expend

commissioners felt that If we conl.
arrange some way to call in all out
standing warrants and stop this in

the public would appreciate on

matter it was because of poor jndg
ment on our part and not hecaus
Of "political" reasons, as charged
u But from the fact that to-day, a

called in and paid, including th
expenses of the last general election
and we now have something lik
$4,000 TO be added TO funds comm
In from various sources TO meet th
expenditures of the year, is evident
that we accomplished some good :

DRY GOODS REVIEW.

New York. Oct. s1 1.-The advancing prices named on cotton goods as a consequence of advancing prices for the staple have induced the placing of considerable business for future de- livery and also the cleaning up ,o of stocks of many low-priced goods. The cotton goods market Is still below the parity of cotton prices and this Is all so true of yarns, yet the trend is firmly upward. and a curtaiiment of production now under way in many mills is tending to awaken buyers to the necessity of paying. higher prices: l: After sales of wide and sail duck had been made in the recent advance. prices were still further advanced and are now quoted at 2 per cent. off on wide duck and 20 off on sail duck: Denims and ticking have advanced. all heavy brown cottons are held more firmly and staple prints are selling and the Jobbers are getting a steady trade fort his period of their season. Detail trace is steady.
 There has been a very active de- mand for spot shipment oS underwear and hosiery. Dress goods are more active. Fall clothiers things have been opened for the season of 1910 at advances ranging from three to five per cent
