JUDGE BUDCE FINES
Law VIOLATORS

While in Paris Wednesday to
attend the Bulge family reunionI
Judge Bulge held a short session
of court in chambers for the purt
pose of hearing the pleas of Joe
Cohn, Hugh Hall, Thos. Cannon
and Jack Deveney, who were bound
over to the district court some time
ago on the charge of selling booze
In violation of the local option law.
All four entered pleas of guilty,
and the court assessed fines against
them as follsws: Cohn, $a50; Gam
non, 1926; Hall and Deveney $l75.
AS none of them had the required
amount of coin about their persons,
they will remain az guests at hotel
Rich in Paris until their respective
fines are served out at the rate of so
per day.
This means that Cohn will board
at the,sheriff's hostelry for II 5days,
Cannon 1921 days and Hall and
Deveney each s74 days, and the
taxpayers will foot the bill.

PING PONG Is BECOMING
A POPULAR TRAIN

If things keep on as they have
lately, it will be entirley appropriate
to refer to the ping pong as '.the
matrimonial train" Last Mouday
couple phoned to Auditor Broom
head that they would be over on
Tuesday morning train and request
ed that he be at the court house so
that they could have the nuptial knot
adjusted and return to Montpelier on
the train. Mr.. Broomhead very
gracionsly agreed to accommodate
them. Conductor Moore was also
accommodating and held the train at
Paris a few minutes so that the
couple could get married and return
to Montpelier.
Both Mr.. Broomhead and Conduc-
tor Moore state that they will gladly
extend the same courtesy to all coup
les who wish to have early morning
marriages performed in Paris. II
will be necessary, however, to phone
Mr.. Broomhead the afternoon before.
SO that he can be at the office by s
O'Clock the next morning, ready t.

Recitation-Cleon Passey, three
years old.
Violin Solo-Lewis Bulge.
RecItation-Newell Bulge.
Piano Solo-Miss Eva Shepherd.
President Bulge also made a
short address, expressing his love
for the people of Paris and Bear

found great enjoyment in the many
pleasant memories of his long assoc
citation with them.
In the evening at 1880 dancing
was indulged in, interspersed with
a violin solo by David Shepherd,

the study of music in Boston, solo

The music during the banquet
and for the dancing was furnished
by the Ernest Shepherd orchestra
and it was the subject of much
favorable comment. The flowers
decorating the tables were beautiful
to behold, consisting Of carnations,
geraniums aud Japanese Iris and
many other varieties.
On the whole the reunion was
success in every particular. The
banquet was better than on any
prior occasion, and best of all, the
hearts of all were full of good fell
lowship.
President Bulge has living 10
sons and l3 daughters, large
family it may be said; not only
large numerically, however, but In
avoirdupois as well, for the average
weight of the boys is 202 pounds,
DIR. Frank being the heaviest, $50
pounds and Scott, II years of age,
the lightest, $50 pounds. The
average weight of The girls is l6O
pounds.
The Examiner expresses the hope
that President Bulge may be spared
to be similarly honored for many
years to come.

for the attorney generalship in the

81 respectfully beg leave to ap-
nounee that, subject to the will pf
the people of the state of Idaho, !
shall be candidate from Canyon

Office of attorney general of the

10 see that the property is listed at
cash value.
Mr.. Purtill explained that the tax
agents had no authority to fix VAL
uations IN any county or to change
those made by the assessor-their
duties being simply to obtain IN
formation for the state board.
During his talk Mr. Purtill stated
that within the past few years he
had visited every county in Idaho
aud expressed the opinion that Bear
Lake was better adapted for dairy
business than any other county in
Idaho, statement which has been
made by other men, capable OF
judging, who are acquainted with
conditions in our state.
The greatert trouble in past and
the one which will continue to con.
front the people, has been to gel
something like an equitable valua-
tion as between the several counties
This trouble is caused largely by the
varied conditions existing in thu
state. There has been a genera
feeling, and just one, too, w
believe, that the counties like Bea
Lake, Custer, Elmore, and few
others, the valuations have been to,
high in comparison with those ii
counties like Ada, Cayon, Washing
ton and some of the northern coun
ties. That is, these smaller countie
feel that they have been payinl
more than their proportion of tn
running expenses of the state. 7
remedy this trouble as much a
possible is one of the missions o
these state agents and Mr.. Purtil
said he was giving particular atten
tion TO this question.

MONTPELIER GIRL
HIGHLY HONORED

We are In receipt of copy of the
Los Angeles Herald of April 9th,
upon the front page of which we were
pleased to see the picture of Miss
Lydia Nielsen, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thor Nielsen of this city,
with the announcement tnat she was
chosen as the principal figure i'm the
Santa Barbara Mission float in the
parade of the Mystic Shriners, at Los,
Angeles next Thursday In speak
Ing of the selection of Miss Nielsen
to be the principal figure in the Santa
Barbara float, the Herald says:
"Chief among the attractive fea-
lures of the weeks entertainment

ade of Thursday afternoon, in the

days. The other occupants of the
float will be boys from the Poly
technic high school. Santa Bar
bara' will be represented by Miss

of good proportions and graceful as
well as looking like the word picture

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
AT LOGAN JUNE 1914
Boosters for Better Highways from all Sections
Of the Inter mountain Country, will Gather
there in Merry Month Of June.

phase of the Good Roads question,
will be in attendance, an active
program Of entertainment is being
arranged. 1t is also contemplated
to set aside one day as automobile
day, on which there will be a pa
rade, and it is planned to have the
largest assem- blage of automobiles
ever gathered in one place in the
west.
"Governors of and the senators
and congressman from the various
states interested have been invited
to participate in and address the
meetings.
'slt is conceded that nothing so
retards the material progress and
social being of the people of the
western states as does the lack of
proper facilities for transportation
on our public highways, and there
fore the deyising of ways and
means for the improvement of our
roads and streets is Of transcendent
Importance to every farmer, mer-
chant professional and business
man in this section.
"As you are well aware, it is i'm
possible for the western states to be
adequately represented at any east
ern Good Roads congress, but it is
not only possible, but vitally neces
sary that full delegations be sent to
the Third annual convention at Lo-
gan this year, and you are therefore
urged to appoint the delegates as
signed you without delay.
"The respective governors of the
states interested are entitled to ap
point twenty delegates; commits
sioners of each county in said states
five; mayors of incorporated cities
or villages five; each automobile
club five; each good road district
or association, FIVE; each chamb r
of commerce or commercial club
five; and each development associa-
tion or other organization for in

The third annual convention Of
the Inter-Mountaln Good Roads
association will be held at Logan on
June II TO IA. 1t is expected that
there will be in attendance at this
convention big crowd of good
road boosters from Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Utah and Colorado. The Short
Line will make a fiat rate Of two
cents per mile for the round trip
from all stations on the system.
The official call for the Logan
convention has been issued, from
which we publish the following ex-
tracts:
"The subjects to be discussed
will be the ways and means of SEE
curing action by the national gov
ernment in constructing and main
taining national highways, the ways
and means of instituting interstate
highways between the stare capitals
of all western states, the procuring
of more adequate, suitable and sys-
tematic laws from various state
legislatures and the United States
congress with relation to public
highways, the way and means OF
securing better construction and
maintenance of county and city
streets; the establishment of state
and local good roads associations,
the enactment of better laws relat-
ing to motor vehicles; in fact,
every subject concerning good roads
that has special applicability to the
typographical, climatic and COM
mercisl interests of the western
country.
'1n connection with the meeting
we hope to have Practical demon
STATIONS of the building of good
roads. We expect to have with
US the Good Roads Construction
and Educational train, conducted
by the division of public roads of
the department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. O., and eminent
authorities and speakers on every
