road tax at 50, which must be paid

road tax.lThis means that every

PHOSPHATE BEDS
NEAR kEMMERER

For years it has been known there
are some of the largest and best
phosphate deposlts in the west
located in southwestern Wyoming,
and several beds have been opened
up, but the largest and best has
been found about Il miles north of
kemmerer, and is being opened up
by 5. A. Hubbel, who has had men
at work all winter on the vein which
extends for about II miles and has
one opening in l20 feet on a strong
seven foot vein of high grade
mineral, the smallest assay being 70
per cent while the average is about
rs per cent. This field is located
on the west side of Pomeroy basin
and the quantity is unlimited.
An unlimited amount of capital
is ready to develop this field and a
force of men will be put to work at
once making other openings and
pushing on the main slope. AS
soon as the road will permit, the
phosphate will be hauled to Sublet
and from there shipped to San
Francisco. Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho are the only northern states
west of the Mississippi in which
these deposits are found and the de.
mand is heavy. It is used extensive
IL as a fertilizer of soil and it is
said that on old land, a small
sprinkling the first year will double
the crop of grain, as it gives a new
vitality.
The development of this property
will mean big thing to Kemmerer
and make it one of the principal
phosphate markets of the west

DIED AT RIPE
OLD AGE OF 95

By the death of Mrs. N. Passey,
which occurred at her home in Paris
on Friday, April 7th, Bear Lake
valley lost another one of it's pioE
neers. Mrs. Passey was born M
England in October, 1916, and had
therefore lived to the ripe old age
of "a years and six months. She
was one of the pioneers of the west,
having crossed the plains with one
of the first emigrant trains, and en-
dured all the hardships incident to
pioneer life. She came to this val
ley in 1865, and located with the
little colony at Paris, where she had
ever since made her home.
Mrs. Passey is survived by a
large number of direct descendants,
there being six children, ID grand
children, l42 great grand children
and IA great great grand children.
Her funeral services we're held IN
the Paris Second Ward meeting
house last Monday morning at Il
o'clock and her remains were con-
signed to their final resting place
beside those of her husband, who
preceded her to the unknown shore
several years ago.

I. A. BURRELL SELLS
HIS RESIDENCE

Last Monday E. A. Burrell closed
the deal for the sale of his residence
property and all of the furniture in
the home except a few personal
effects which Mr.. Burrell and fam
lily desired to retain, TO w. @.
Davis Of Soda Springs, who will
take possession the first of next
week. Mr.. Davis has long been
one of the prominent ranchers and
stockmen of the Eastern part of
Bannock county. Last fall he dis
posed of most Of his possessions
there and with his wife spent the
winter IN California. They return.
ed 70 Soda last Sunday, and upon
hearing that Mr.. Burrell had very
desirable home for sale, came up
Monday to lock 1t over. As the
property and price suited Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis, it did not require much
time to close the deal.
With the sale of this property
Mr.. Burrell has disposed of all HE
holdings here except one vacant lot.
He and his family will go to Boise
next week, where they will reside
pending Mr.. Burrelfs selection of
permanent location, and it is
highly probable that the Capital
city will become their future home.
The Examiner, in common with Mr..
Burrelps many friends, regrets to
learn Of his dissemination to leave
Montpelier permanently, for he is a
man of whom any community can
well be proud TO number among It's
citizena. However, we are pleased
TO know that he intends to remain
a citizen of Idaho and are confident
that his influence for good and for
the advancement of the state will be
felt by the community in which he
locates.

COL. FERGUSON RESIGNS
AS COUNTY ATTORNEY

Last Monday Col. II. V. A. Fer
guson rendered his resignation as
prosecuting attorney of Bannock
county. The resignation was ac--
cepted by the board of county COM
missioners, who named r. M. Ter
rell to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Fer
gusoD gave as his reason for resign
ing that there is too much work and
grief in the Office for the salary re-
celved. He said that if he cannot
make more than sl25 a month in
his private practice be will quit the
law business and go to selling pea
nuts. In commenting upon the
resignation of Col. Ferguson, the
Pocatelio Tribune says:
"Colonel Ferguson, while not a
pronounced wet says that he be
lieves that the peculiar conditions
obtaining in Bannock county and
POcatello are such as to warrant a
a return of wet conditions. lie
points to the poor condition of the
school funds of the county, to the
insufiiciency of revenues in the city,
which has resulted in sending city
warrants TO a heavy discount. He
says the consumption of liquor in
the Gate City has not been stopped,
nor can it be stopped by any Law
on the statute books or of possible
enactment. He believes in the
very strictest regulation Of the
liquor traffic."
