MONTPELIER .COKEvILEE
TELEPHONE LINE
Construction Of Line Depends Largely on what
Action Montpelier Takes Thomas Fork Anx-
ious for Montpelier Connection.

+ J. d. Noblitt of Cokeville, A,
IN. Hill of Pegram and a number
of citizens from Geneva and Ray
mond met in Montpelier last Mon
day to talk over the building of the
proposed telephone line to connect
Montpelier with Pegram, Geneva,
Raymond, Border and Cokeville. =
4 It appears that the statement pre-
Hously made that Cokeville people
would subscribe for as much stock
as the Raymodd and Geneva people,
was incorrect. The Cokeville peo.
pie have already pledged themselves
to construct line from that town
to the terminal of the forest service
line, nine miles northeast of Coke
vile. This would give Cokeville a
connection with Montpelier by way
of Alton. That town also has con.
nectlon with Montpelier by way of
Laketown, and while the service
over either of those lines 10 quiee
expensive and not at all satisfactory,
Mr.. Noblitt stated IN the meeting
that Cokeville people did not feel
like subscribing toward the propos-
ed line through the Thomas Fork
country to Montpelier, unless the
business men of Montpelier, who
would be largely benefited by this
line, would assist in Its construc-
tion.
1t is estimated that it will cost
close to 5000 to connect Mont
pelier and Cokevllle with the other
places mentioned. Of this amount
the people of Geneva, Raymond,
Border and Pegram have subscrib.
ed $4,000.
During the discussion Mr.. Mob
lit admitted that 1t would be much
more satisfactory for the people of

BILL WILL RESTORE
RIGHTS TO MANY

Washington, March 6.-Thc sen.
ate recently passed bill permitting
second homestead entries under Ger.
tain conditions, and the bill is now
before the house committee on pub.
lie lands awaiting consideration.
The measure is of interest through
out the west, for it applies in every
public land state, and, If enacted in
to law, will virtually restore the
homestead right to great number
of individuals who are today denied
the privilege of acquiring home on
the public domain.
In substance the bill provides
that any person who has heretofore
made homestead entry, but from
any cause has lost, forfeited or
abandoned the same, shall be entitl-
ed to the benefits of the homestead
law as though such former entry
had not been made and any person
applying for a second homestead
under this act shall furnish the de.
scrlption and date of his former
entry. But the bill does not apply
to any person whose former entry
was cancelled for fraud, or who re.
linquished the former entry for a
valuable consideration.

Cokeville to have line direct to
Montpelier but he insisted, and
rightly too, that Montpelier should
help to construct the line.a Just
hat amount Cokeville would sub.
scribe toward this line, in addition
to constructing the miles of line
above referred TO, Mr. Noblltt was
not prepared to say, but he was sat.
isfied that his town would assist
literally, providing Montpelier sub.
scribed the amount it should.
The Geneva and Raymond people
are very anxious to secure telephone
connection with both Montpelier
and COkeville, but as we understand
it, they will not assist in building a
line from Geneva to Border and
then on TO Cokeville. This would
give them connection with Mont
pelier, after Cokeville constructs
the line to the forest service termi-
nal, but the service over that route
would be slow, expensive aud very
unsatisfactory. They want the line
constructed from Border into Mont.
pelier.
After considerable discussion at
the meeting, committee was ap-
pointed t. draw up a properly word
ed heading for subscription papers,
which will be circulated 10 the towns
interested for the purpose of ,ascer.
tanning just how much stock will be
subscribed. It was the sentiment
of those present that il $4,000 worth
of stock could be secured, it would
be safe to 60 ahead and organize a
company and begin the construction
of the proposed line.
AS soon as thorough canvass is
made another meeting will be held,
probably at Cokeville, to take fur
ther action in the matter.

night. Doc Taylor and / went to
Gatun this morning, as there was
nothing doing at Los Cascades, and
studied the progress there for a
couple of hours. Then we took a
train that landed us at Cascades at
noon. About two o'clock we took
the train for Tabernilla. From
there we went out to the canal line,
where they have but little excava
tion to do. Mr.. Zinn there took
the lead and we started off into the
ssbosky." None of us had the
slightest idea where we were go
ing except Mr.. Zinn and he didn't
volunteer any information. Well,
we tramped and tramped through
the Jungle. There was a trail if
you could grace it by that name
Just as we struck into the jungle 1t
started to rain and to appreciate the
mud you must walk in it. We f.
nally came to the bank of the

would be. So we tramped it back

from high water, although the dam

of being swept away, last Tuesday.

The validity Of statutes requiring
merchants to file notice Of their infen
ton 10 sell the whole or q large part Of
their stocks has been lately passed upon
by a number Of the courts Of last resort
Of the several states, says Eli Grocer
and General Merchant.
Different constructions have been put
upon similar acts by different courts;
and some Of the states have upheld acts
that other Of the states have declared
10 be unconstitutional; 80 that the law
IN regard to this subject, at the present
time, IS IN a much confused condition.
Mr.. Everett r. R0eder, one Of the
leading attorneys and eounsellors Of St.
Louis, furnishes the following with re-
gard 70 bulk sales legislation
Almost all, If not all, legisl84ion upon
this subject Is Of recent date. One Of
the latest decisions upon the matter is
that Of the Supreme Court Of Connecfi-
cut IN the ease Of Young ys. Lemioux,
IN which the validity Of the bulk sale /"
law Of that state is sustained. The court
held that the act of that state, which
passed in 1908, was a proper exercise Of
the police power Of the state and that il
did not interfere with property rights.
The eonstitufionality Of the Connecticut
law as passed upon in the case Of
Young vs.. Lemi0ux Was also sustained
by a federal court.
A New York law Of 1902. relating TO
the same subject, was declared TO be
unconstitutional. The law was later
amended and in lis amended condition
was upheld. The first act declared a sale
in violation Of the act absolutely void,
while the second one substituted the fol
provision, "'wnI be presumed 70
