J. o. Phelps of this city, who is
now in Turkey on mission, writes
the following letter TO the Examiner
from Aintab, Turkey, under date of
January 10:
Editor Examiner-Perhaps it
would be interesting to your read
ers to hear of the news of the other
side of the globe. 1t has only been
for the last six months that matter
of this kind would pass The Turkish
=postoffice censor's scrutiny, as the
Turk is very quiet fellow and does
not care to know about things out
side his little realm, nor does he
care to have his own life made pub
lie. But new light has dawned
on the Orient and some of the old
notions are being replaced by new
ones, SO that in 1909 we find new
regime in vogue.
The great massacre of 1s9 has
had an effect on most of the people
here, and some are disposed to look
upon the new freedom IN suspicion,
but the more enlightned and ener-
getic class have pledged their lives
to the upholding of the new govern
ment. But however fast the people
are striding to the front, at the same
time there exists among them Ger.
tam old fads and ideas that are
bound to hold sway as long as there
is a Turk left. The same old
marriage ceremonies that existed
among the people 500 years ago,
may be found today, with perhapI
a little addition of European inery
which does not take very wei
among the real Turks.
/ But, as you know, about on
third of the population here i
Armenian and all .sala frauka'
ideas and customs are to be credite'
t9 the latter. But what | want t,
tell you about just now is the des
cendant of the old Tartars that cam
from. central china and after takini
Constantinoplc from the Roman
set up monarchy which ba' had ii

MOSES TO1LEAD IT OUT OF DARKNESS
After Much Discussion Members Decide to Con-
tinue the Organization and Elect New Set
Of Officers, with Nose Lewis at Head.

The Chamber of Commerce which
has been slumberlng for the past
ten months, has once more taken on
a new lease of life and 1t is belieyed
that a Moses has been found who
will lead the organization out Of
darkness into the open light of ac-
tivity.
Al meeting Of the Chamber of
commerce Wednesday night the
question of dlsbanding was threshed
over for about the 'steenth time.
Several members present were in
favor of this move, which was about
to be decided upon, when Nose
Lewis arrived on the scene and took
decided stand against snch action.
In his usual happy manner Nose
converted several TO his way of
thinking and it was finally voted to
keep on trying to d. something for
the good of Montpelier. This
question settled, new officers wert
then elected as follows:

Resolved, That we ask and en-.
treat our present board of county

We see in the General County

for raising the scnool money, for

to take such steps as may be within
It's power to prevent the destruction
of the forest and denuding tie
watershed in and about the head
waters of Montpelier creek; also to
prevent the polloting of the waters
of said creek by prohibiting the

This action was taken by the

preserve the purity Of the city's
water supply.

The railroad company put on a
crew last week, says the McCammon
Banner, to survey the grade for a
double track between the Junction
City and Pocatello, and it Is expect-
ed that grazing will commence by
the first of May. Both the Utah
and Idaho divisions use the one
track between those two points, and
traffic has increased SO much of late
years that it is now difficult to get
trains over that 27-mile stretch OF
road on anything like schedule
time.

CITY'S LIGHT EXPENSE
Council Decides to Cut Out the Six Arc
Lights That were on Free List but
for which Co. now Wants Pay.

At the meeting of the city coun
oil last Thursday night communl-I
cation was read from the Bear Lake
Power company calling the councii'sI
attention to the fact that the time
had expired for which the six arc
lights were to be furnished to the
city free of charge under the pro-
visions of the Slusser franchise, and
asking what action the council
wished to take in the matter. The
communication stated that the com.
pany would furnish the six lights in
the future at the rate of $3.50 a
month per light. After some dis
cussron on the question, in which
the councilmen expressed themselves
as being opposed to increasing the
city's light bill to the extent of $45
a month, the matter was referred to
the street committee with instruc-
tions to have six arc lights cut out,
the lights to be removed from such
points as, in the committees judg
ment, were of the least benefit to
the people.
