COUNTY BONDS SELL
AT 5 Per CENT

james N. Wright & Co. of Chi

and corporation bonds. were the
successful bidders for the $4,000
issue of Bear Lake county funding
bonds, bids for the purchase of
which were opened by the board of
county commissioners last Wednes-
day afternoon. The above firm
takes the bonds at 5 per cent, gave
premium of 1915 and pays all
costs incident to the issuance of the
bonds.
There were six other bidders for
the bonds, namely, K. II. Rollins
& Co. of Denver; Keller Bros. OF
Denver; Vim. L. Sweet & Co. of
Chicago; Union Trust and Savings
Co. of Spokane and the Wallace
National bank of Wallace, Idaho.
Sweet and Go. submitted bids for 5,
81 and per cent. All other bids
were for per cent, but the prem
lums and other provisions of these
bids were not equal to the one ac.
cepted by the board.
The bids were all really better
than the commissioners anticipated
as they hardly expected to get any
thing under per cent.
By issuance of these bonds and
the redeemiDg of warrants to the
amount of $47 900 the commission
ers will save the county 80, 400 a
year in interest, as the outstanding
warrants are drawing per cent

jury list, examined the quarterly
report of officers and discussed road
matters. They adjourned Wednes-
day until Jan. 90, at which time the
appointment of road overseers will
be considered. The commissioners
have under consideration the plar
of appointing three general roac
oycrseers for the county-one fol

Montpelier examiner., 1912-01-12

This will mean that the wool schcd-
ule will be under consideration dur
ing the spring and early summer at
a time when the entire American
wool clip will be on the market.
The result will be depression in
wool prices of about cents per
pound, or loss to the American
woolgrowers of about fifteen mil.
lion dollars. The woolerowers
hope for early action on the wool
tariff as they know living prices
cannot be obtained for wool at
time when bill reducing the duty
Is pending in congress.
''If the democratic party has any
regard at all for the continued ex-
istence of the sheep industry, it can
best be shown by an early disposal
of the wool tariff question. Last
yOo' huout thc time Tue eHIlTc
American wool clip came into the
mcrket, bill cutting the wool dut-
les in two was introduced by the
democrats which resulted in the
sale Of our wool at free trade prices.
A repetition of this occurance
means that hundreds Of our wool
growers will be bankrupt.
F'The report of the tariff board
should convince the man who wears
woolen clothing that there is no re-
lation between the cost of the cloth
ing at retail and the value of the
wool required to make it. A me-
dium weight suit of all wool cloth
requires l0t pounds of wool aud the
price of this wool in the west dur
ing the past eighteen months has
been about Is cents per pound,
showing that the wool grower ia
receiving $l.579 for all the wool in
a suit of clothes that retails at from
s25 to $40. Tariff agitation during
the past eighteen months has caused
a reduction of 30 per cent in the
price of wool, but during the same
time there has been an increase in
the retail price of clothing. If all
the people knew that the manufao-
turer sells sufficient cloth for an all
wool suit of clothes at less than IS.
there would be less attention paid
10 the tariff on wool and woolens."
