ject the advancement of the town.
Mr.. O'Connor has not determined
what he will do in the future, but
his many friends hope that he will
find some profitable business to en-
gage in and remain resident of
Montpelier.
HaggertY & Kennedy, Jack
Wedel and W ilks Hoskins, have
signitied their intentions of conduct
ing soft drink establishments, for a
time at least. They will each carry
a full line of cigars and tobacco and
soft drinks of all kinds and permit
the playing of social games of cards.
AS before stated they have declared
their intentions of strictly observing
the law, and the Examiner has rea-
son to believe that they are men of
their word and that the officers will
not have occasion to mulest them.
Under the provisions of the local
option law it will become the duty
Of every law abiding citizen to assist
in seeing that the law is enforced.
The Examiner, for one, will not
hesitate to call the attention of the
officers to any violation that may
come to its notice.
Let us start out on April lst with
united determination to enforce
the law. If it proves to be an OBJ
noxious one; if 1t is found that the
illegal traffic of liquor cannot be
stopped in the city and county the
people have it IN their power two
years hence to change back to the
present method of conducting the
business.

STRIKE Of FIREMEN
IS AVERTED

Chicago March 91.-All qaes-
tions in dispute between the 81, 900
fremen on western railroads and
the railroad managers will be ami.
cably settled, according to an agree
ment reached today through the aid
of United Strtes Commissioners of
Labor Neill.
1t was agreed by W. 8. Carter,
president of the brotherhood of Lo-
eomotlve Firemen q Enginemen,
and his committee, representing the
men, and the general managers
committee, representing the Al
railroads involved, to settle the con
troversy in the following manner:
The question of seniority or the
promotion of old-time firemen over
new men and the question of repre-.
sentation by the union, when fire.
men have been promoted to engine.
men, are to be promised before
any arbitration is attempted.
The demand of the men for an
increase in wages OF l24 per cent is
then to be submitted to arbitration
under the Erdnan act.
In previous negotiations the rail.
roads have agreed to arbitrate the
wage question but had declined to
arbitrate the other two points on
the ground that they were points Of
discipline and authority.
1t was learned that both sides
agreed to compromise through the
inaistehce of Commissioner Neill
that something had to be done
quickly.
Mr.. NeilI informed each side that
mediation had been in progress since
last Thursday and that apparently
on progress had been made. He
declared that unless action was taken
within "a hours he would return tn
TO Washington. The decision to
compromise followed quickly.

WINS
MORE VICTORIES

Paris March o2.-The fual dash
in the series of basket ball games
was made last Friday in the acad.
emy gymnasium, when Fielding
met the gallant Oneida boys and
defeated them by score of 4B to
20.
The week previous the Fielding
team played at Preston and won in
a hotly contested game. Then the
Preston team came to Paris to play
the final game of the season, and
Fielding team had to play as they
had never played before. The
highest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the whole game
During the first half Preston
nearly got the upper hand and
when time was called the score
stood 10 to 10. III the early part
of the second half it looked as
though Fielding was going down in
defeat for Preston made basket
after basket and at one time was
five ahead. But right when the
hearts of the Fielding students were
growing faint, brilliant play was
made by one of the home team.
Then another and another, and
when the game closed the victory,
SO CALAMITY gained, was Fielding's.
Thus the basket ball season closed
without one break IN two years of
successive games for Fair Fielding.
The Prep. class gave delightful
entertainment last week to the class
members and faculty. Games were
played, refreshments were served
and a jolly good time had all
around.
The Seniors had good, old-fash.
ioned candy pull the other evening
and good, old fashioned time was
was had by all paesent.
The different classes have taken
charge at chapel several mornings
and good programmes have been pre-.
sented. The program gwen by the
Juniors was remarkable for ita or
iginality and wit.
Miss Jensen's serving course is
now finished, to the great regret of
all who have partaken of her splen-
did dinners.
Miss Zuudel's sewing work has
been most successful this year, as
well as her work "a a matron. The

PING PONG MAY
Be TAKEN OFF

We understand that there is a
likelihood of the Montpelier
McCammon local tram, commonly
known as the ping pong, being tax.
en- off in the near future for the rea-
son that it does not receive suffic-
ent patronage to pay operating ex-
penses. This is largely due to the
fact that people in going to and
coming from Salt Lake ride on 9th
or trains, when they should patron
ize the ping pong. This train was
put on especially for the Salt Lake
travel and connects at McCammon
with trains both going to and com.
ing from Salt Lake.
Whenever No. S is several hours
late Salt Lake passengers from
Montpelier will board that train,
but they gain nothing by 1t for they
are compelled to wait at Mccain
mon for the Salt Lake train which
leaves there about p. m. In re-
turning they will also take No. 8
for Montpelier, if that train hap
pens to be little late, instead of
waiting for the ping pong. These
tickets are all credited to the train
from which they are taken up, and
no matter how heavy the travel is
between here and McCammon, none
of it Is credited to the ping pong
unless the tickets are turned in by
the conductor Of that train.
The Short Line is not operating
the ping pong just for the fun ofit.
and unless the people patronize 1t.
in preference TO the through trains

While a large majority of the
people of the county have said that
they want the saloons banished. il
is a well known fact that many who
vo'ed Sd !" Last September IRE ard
have been for years patrons of the
saloons. They are Lot what arc
termed drinking men," but they
are men who cniov trkine social
glass ol beer or other liquor when
ever they desire it. Now we sur
mise that this class of men will
miss 1.-THE saloon ae much as will
the habitual drunkard, and not a
few of them will be found seeking
the location of the "blind pigs" in
the event that such places will be in
existence
The Examiner hopes, however,
that the officers of the law will see
to it that these joints are not per-
mitted to run. But if they sue
ceed in keeping them quelched 1t
is fOregone conclusion that they
will be kept buster than they have
been for some time past.
BY this statement we do not
mean to insinuate that any one of
the four men who are now con.
Quoting saloons in Montpelier will
engage in the unlawful traffic of
liquor after April 1st, for they
have each stated to the writer that
they intend to obey the law. But
there are men in every "dry" COM
munity today who are engaged in
the boot-legging of liquor. Only
last week at Gooding State Senator
Jordan, of Lincoln county, who
voted for the passage of the local
option law, was arrested on the
charge of selling liquor In violation
of the law.
Right here we wish to express
the belief that the sentiment against
the liquor business In Idaho would
