RULES REGARDING
LIQUOR SHIPMENTS

The local agent Of the American
Express company has received cir
cular letter covering instructions re-
garding the interstate shipment OF
liquor under the provisions of the
Webb law, which recently passed
congress. One paragraph of the let
ter il rs follows:
'If shipments come to hand for
persons whom the agents of this
company know, or have reason 20
believe intend to sell such liquor IN
violation Of the laws of the state,
they must not deliver To such con-
signee, or to any person upon his or
der, but must return the same to the
shipper with charges to collect. T"
Shippers rendering shipments Of
liquor should be advised that the
company will not undertake to make
delivery OF a shipment which lts
agents believe are intended for use
In violation Of the law. and that II
such shipments are siezed by local
authorities this company will not be
responsible therefore"
The text Of the Webb law, which
became effective the day the act was
passed over President Taft's veto IL
as follows:

B. H. U. CLUB GIVES
DELIGHTFUL PARTY

Last Monday hight the pavilion
was the scene Of the most elaborate
social affair ever held in Montpelier,
the occasion being the second ''frollc
and feast given by the Is. II u.
club. A portion OF the hall was ar
ranged to afford a pleasant retreat
during intervals between dances,
palms and ferns separating this sec
tion from the dance floor. An abund-
ance OF rugs and rockers gave an in
viting appearance to this portion OF
the hall. Promptly at o'clock the
first dance was called, twenty couples
responding.
" As the programs had all been pre- .
vlonsly filled, there was no cause for
delay and the order of dancing was
merrily carried out. The regular
dances were interpreted with several
cotillion figures, which added much
amusement and variety.
At the stroke OF 10 the signal was
given TO prepare for the feast, and
within five minutes the hosts had
arranged a most elaborate banquet
table, lighted with myriad Of minia-
ture electric lights and adorned with
profusion Of pink and white carna-
tions. After all had done ample
justice TO the elegant repast, dancing
was resumed until the early morning
hours. The guests declared the b.
II. U's to be entertainers Of the high
est degree.-~
The club is composed of the Messrs.
John Barrett, James Crouch, A. L.

town in Southern Idaho this year.
When the double tracking gets in
full swing, we have been told that
there will be eight work trains oper
ating in and out of the city. Be-
sides there will be several hundred
men and scores of teams employed
along the line of work. just what
the total monthly pay roll will be,
it is hard to estimate at this time,
but it will run well up into the
thousands of dollars This, 1t must
be remem bered, will be in addition
to the Short Lines regular monthly
pay roll.
The extensive improvements to be
made by the railroad company are
of themselves sufficient to insure the
most prosperous season ever exper-
fenced by Montpelier, but they are
not all that are in sight, by any
means. There is the Utah Light &
Power Company, which has work
mapped out that will necessitate the
employment of many m en- aud the
expenditure of thOusauds of dollars,
covering a period Of several years.
Then the Bonanza Mining Com
pany, which has, in quiet way,
distributed several thousand dollars
in Montpelier during the past two
or three years, expects to very ma
terially increase its expenditures
this season In fact, conditions
at the mine never looked more pro-
missing than they do today, and
there Is every reason to believe that
within few weeks the Examiner
will be able to publish returns from
ore shipments from the mine which
will astonish even those who have
entertained the greatest faith in this
property from the day development
work was begun.
With the expenditure of these
great sums of money by the three
companies above stated, Montpelier
cannot help but grow. It will not
be mushroom growth, either, bu,
a steady, substantial growth, such
as will warrant the investment OF
capital in the construction of resi-.
dences and the expenditure Of money
by the city in street and other publ.
! Improvements.
