mineral resources in the vicinity OF
Garden City. The surface indica.
tions all point to rich copper de-
poslts and he anticipated that the
building of railroad In that section
would result in the development of
rich copper properties. The possi-
bilities of fruit raising along the
lake show were also referred to by
Mr.. O'Connor, and the beauties of
the lake as a summer resort were
pictured in glowing terms, but he
forgot to remand the railroad Off
cials of the immense harvest of pure
ice which could be reaped from the
lake each winter, the demand for
which by the company is becoming
greater each season.
Dan Spencer, assistant general
passenger agent and A. w. North.
assistant claims attorney, both spoke
of the desire of the railroad company
to do all within its power to advance
the interests of every section of
Idaho traversed by the Short Line,
and 80 far as possible to meet all
reasonable demands of the people.
The meeting was a most satisfact
ory one in every particular and
there is no doubt but what Mont
pelier and Bear Lake Valley will
reap some benefit from the visit of
the railroad officials.
The party was composed Of E. @.

STATE BOARD WILL
RESCIND ITS ACTION

Boise, April 29-That the persist
cnt opposition to the assessment OF
the property of the state at its cash
value under existing levies has
proven effective was we'll evidenced
today when announcements were
made by State Treasurer o. v. AL
len and Secretary of State Clifford
that they had decided to vote with
State Auditor Taylor on a motion
to rescind the resolution providing
that all property in the state should
be assessed at it's cash value. As
will he remembered, when the
board first met and voted on the
first motion Treasurer Allen was in
the east looking after the sale of the
state bonds, and the result of the
vote to resclnd the motion was that
Auditor Taylor voted for 1t and
Governor Hawley, Attorney Gener-
al McDougall and Secretary of State
Clifford voted against it, consequent
of which the assessors of the state
proceeded to assess the property of
the state at its cash value regardless
of thousands of letters pouring in
daily condemning the course of the
board in instrncting a change of
assessment under present levies
Subsequently, mass meeting after
mass meeting was held in various
parts of the state, passing strong
resolutions against the course taken,
but the work of high assessment
went on without interruption.
State Treasurer A lien returned home
last evening from the east and early
today held a conference with Audit.
or Taylor and Secretary of State
Clifford. Immediately following, IT
was announced that upon the return
of Governor Hawley and Attorney
General McDougall that another
meeting of the board will be called
and the resolution would be recind-
ed.

C0RIANTON AT THE
THEATRE MAY 5

Mr.. Luke Cosgrove, who is to play
the part of the fool in Corianton at
The Montpelier Theatre on May 5th,
is one of the cleverest actors in the
west and as director has few equals.
Mr.. Cosgrove is from the old school
Of actors and has been in the profess
sion for many years. His first ap.
pearance in Montpelier was with
John Lindsay in Shakespearian
repertoire. He has played with such
talented actors as Frederick Warde,
and Katherine Kidder and last sea-
son closed an engagement with MUIR
ray & Mack in "Twenty-five Minutes
from Broadway"
The play Corlanton has been the
subject of more comment from the
eastern press than any other play
ever produced, on account of its hav-
ing been written by a Salt Lake
author and was taken from the lead
ing religious book of the Mormon
church. The stage settings and cos
tunes are as elaborate as money can
buy and the company was chosen
after long deliberation. This will be
your only chance to see the play as ii
is the farwell tour of Corianton.

HORSE SHOW WAS
A BIG SUCCESS
One Hundred Head Of Fine Animals on Exhibi-
tion-Judge Devine's Decisions Gave Salts
faction--Good Attendance Saturday.

lne iouftn annual morse snow O
Bear Lake county, which was bel,
in Montpelier last Friday and Sat
urday was equally as good as an,
of the previous events, despite tn,
bad weather which prevailed th,
| first day and which kept many peo
pie away as well as a number Of fin,
horses. However, there were en-
tries for every class on which prem
INNS were offered, there being al
even 100 head of animals on exhi-
bition the two days, and there were
some as fine specimens of horse flesh
as could be seen in any section Of
the inter-mountain region.
While Fridays storm kept the
attendance down, Saturday was a
fairly good day, and considering
the condition of the roads, there
was an immense crowd IN town.
Star Valley, Cokeville, Garden City,
Soda Springs and Bancroft were
well represented.
Horsemen generally expressed
themselves as noting an improve
ment in the standard Of the animals
|
shown, as compared with those seen
at the first show held here.
The decisions of Judge James
DevIne were eninently satisfactory.
There we're some of course who
thought their animals should have
been awarded prizes, but on the
whole the decisions were received
with satisfaction. 1t was no easy
task for man to pick the winners
from among such fine showing of
horses as were OH exhibition, but
Mr.. Devine took his time in the
matter, and carefully considered
every point before reaching a decl-
sion.
While the Examiner would like
to have seen the grand sweepstake
prize awarded to a Bear Lake
county horse, yet we realize that the
prize was awarded strictly on merit
and we congratulate Whitworth
Bros. of Bancroft, on being able
to carry off that prize with their
Percheron stallion, Archachon. We
understand that company at Lib
erty had the opportunity to purchase
this stallion few years ago, but
for some reason they saw fit to &C.
lect another horse.

At the auction sale held Saturday
afternoon, only few bona fide sales
were made, but Mr.. Montgomery.
the auctioneer, who came up from
Idaho Falls, was satisfied with the
result of the sales. He also ex-
pressed himself as being surprised
at the high standard of horses rails
ed in the valley, and stated that he
would be able to send buyers here
in the future who were looking for
good stock.
His visit here as also the visit of
the railroad officials on the first day
of the show will result in giving
Bear Lake county some extensive
advertising as great horse country.
In fact the show was a success in
every prrticular, and like good seed
sown in rich soil, 1T is bound TO
bring forth an abundant harvest by
the widespread advertising this
section will receive.
