Sloppy weather under foot has
been disagreeable feature OF the
last few days of thawing weather.
There is plenty of labor here at
the present time. Skilled men, how
ever, readily find places.
The telephone repair crew was laid
off during the week, having finished
their work. Report which gained
currency that the going on of these
men was due to labor troubles is en-
tirely without foundation. Condi-
tons in this respect were never more

MONTPELIER CREAMERY
IS GAINING PATRONAGE
Some of the County's Most Prominent
Ranchers are Its Patrons Top Price
is Paid for Butter Fat.

With kindly eye to the success
of the MOI tpelier creamery we here
with present some timely points and
suggestions gathered from an inter
view with Manager Small this week:
"Tha patronage of the cream
cry, said Mr.. Small, "shows the
names of some of the county's sue
cessful ranches from the vlcinitles
of Paris, Montpelier, Bennington,
Georgetown, Sharon, Liberty, Ovid,
Marlboro, Bern, Pegram, Sheep
Creek and Thomas Fork, which IN
dicates strong personality IN the
support the creamery has gained
in the short time it has been in
operation, and this certainly augurs
well for it's future growth.
1.-THE recent gains IN the cream
ery's business is largely the result
of the influence exerted by satisfied
patrons upon their neighbors, which
is heartily appreciated by the man
agement.
"We are now paying 80 cents for
butter fat, which is more net money
than the ontside creamerles are
offering, and with the supply of
cream that may be produced IN this
valley, the business of the creamery
should be steadily strengthened.
"1he testing of cream is always
done with open doors to all patrons,
and so the variations as to the TEN,
perature of milk and cream can bt
elsily traced. We also freely give
advice how to obtain the best re-

suits from seParators, which means
cash gains TO the patrons.
"When the industry is thoroughly
appreciated as great semi-monthly
cash producer for everyone who
supports 1t with good COWS, we'll
fed and stabbed, then our people
will push it, not as side issue, but
with the same view and energy that
they would put into any money
making business.
"With market for many times
the present production of the cream
cry, it seems to us that this is an
opportune time to interest the
young men on the farm in up-to-
date methods Of dairying. The
young people will like the farm bet
ter when it is made TO hum with the
music Of ready cash at all seasons
Of the year. This valley is capable
of supporting Much larger popu.
latlon than it does al present and
there is no easier way to increase
that population than by extensively
engaging in the dairy business. An
increased population will increase
the taxable property of the county,
which means more to our schools,
churches and mercantile establish
ments. Right now Is the time to
begin studying the details for sue
cessful dalrying, and as each patron
of the creamery boosts his own pay
check every fifteen days, he will al.
SO boost his home community in
general"

our schools, the enrolment show

these three are in the high school,
two in the elgth grade and others
are scattered IN the lower grades.
Another evidence of the efficiency
of the high school, Is the recognition
1t has obtained from the Idaho STATE
university. A member of the fac.
ulty makes an annual visit 10 the
high schools of the state for the
purpose of gathering data regarding
] the character of work done. At a
meeting Of the faculty this data is
gone over and individual schools
are recognized according to the
work done. A high school that is
doing four years of standard work
Is placed on the approved list, which
means that the graduates can enter
the university without examination.
Last year the Montpelier school
was given nearly full credit for the
two years work then done. Thli
year with more teachers, laboratory
equipment ana library facilities
there can be no doubt that thu
school will have full recognition fo
the three years work now being
done.

notwithstanding the fact that the
timber contracted for was far less in
the aggregate than III 1907.
In making timber sales the for
ser ice seeks small IN preference to
arge sales, and aims to safeguard a
supply for future needs rather than
to swell the immediate receipts.
Were it desired, the present receipts
from timber sales could be quickly
doubled. During the year II was
found necessary III the interest of a
continued supply to restrict sales on
many forests. Nevertheless, use of
the national forests as = source of
timber supply was more general than
eyer before.
The total receipts from timber
sales each year have been an follows:
1905, $50, 1876 90; 1905, s245,0l8

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 27.-Although
foredoomed to defeat IN caucus
Monday night, the local option bill
constructed by the Judiciary and
privileges and elections committees
passed the lower house of the legis-
laCure yesterday afternoon. The
result was an altogether unantici-
pated turn IN the wheel of fortune.
Even those who previously sup
ported the measure had given up
hope. The plan of the opposition
was To recomm I the proposed en-.
actment to the committees from
which 1t emanated, but two mem
bers voting contrary to the under
sanding of the combination and a
third failed to register his ballot.
Had this development not occurred,
the outcome would be entirely
different. Had five Democrats voted
according to the logical attitude of
their party, the aspect Of the situa.
tion would be changed. Instead,
they preferred to place the Republl-
cans on record by compelling them
to take immediate action on the final
passage of the bill.

Next Monday morning report
cards will be issued, promotions
made and new classes formed in the
grades and high school. The first
primary grades will be held open
for entrance of new pupils for l5
days, at the end of which time new
classes will be formed.
1t is gratifying to know that dur
lHg this week of examination the at
tendance has been more regular than
at any other period during the
semester, or half year. Out of the
total enrolment the average daily
absences this week has not been
more than seven, and these were
caused principally by sickness.
If reports are to be relied upon,
the results of the examinations in
the different grades for this semester
will show several important advan.
ccs along many lines, as compared
with the same period last year.
Although the examination questions
were generally more rigid than lasl
year, the results will show higher
grade of work and the general ap
pearance of the papers is much bet
ter.
With the exception of two o
three grades, the schools are now
we'll graded, and the present defect
will be remedied IN another year
t The grading of the schools has bee
greatly aided by the adoption of th

AGAINST EXTRA SESSION

When questioned as to the desirability
of calling an extra session of the Legisla-
ture to consider the question of increased
representation for Baltimore City, as sue-
gested by Mr.. Walter R. Townsend, of Bal
timore county. several well-known Demo-
Gratis did not seem favorable to the plan.
Governor Crothers said he had always
stood against extra sessions as principle
unless some political calamity threatened.
in the first place, said the Governor,
IAN extra session would cost the State
large sum of money. Would the time saved
by it be worth the cost think the sub
ject of increased representation for the city
should first be put squarely before the peo-
pie of the State so that it may be under
stood before being dealt with have not
considered Mr.. Townsend's suggestion long
enough to give decided opinion on it, but

FRANCE IS WORLDS BANKER

Although general trade conditions in
France. as in other European countries,
suffered in 1908. largely because of the
reduction in American demand following

at the end of the year. regarding the won

of the worlds banker"
Frances fortune is growing steadily as
the result of an annual saving of $1,000

M. Leroy Beaulieus figures show that
France now receives $360.000.00o as an
annual income from foreign holdings. prin-

years.
He estimates the present wealth of the
French people at $45.o00.000.O0O. or
more than $l.100 for every man. woman
