LET'S ORGANIZE
A BASE BALL TEAM

There is considerable talk among
the base ball fans Of organizing
team here this year, and we under
stand there is sufficient ''material"
TO make up cracker jack amateur
team. There are q number Of ball
players among the Phoenix Con-
struction tCo. and Utah Light a.
Power Co.'S men. Then there ir
Charlie Locker, the old reliable FIRST
baseman, Laurence Spongberg, the
south paw twirler and several other
good home players.
II would take some money TO get
team IN shape, ss new suits would
have TO be purchased, the grand
stand completed and come other
improvements made on the diamond,
but with the prospects OF good
team and the possibility of forming
3 league with Bancroft, Soda
Springs, Grace, Cokeville and Paris,
there ought not to be any trouble
IN raising enough money to put
team in the field in good shape.
With the large number Of extra
men who will be working in Mont
pelIer and vicinity this summer, a
good attendance at the games could
be depended upon.
The Examiner will contribute lis
mite toward e4uipping a team and
We hope some of the enthusiastic
fans will push the organization
along.

SCHOOL ELECTIONS
NEXT MONDAY

On Monday, April 81, elections
will be held IN all the school dis
triets Of the county for the purpose
Of electing one trustee in each diA-
trict and voting a special tax, II
the people of the districts find il
necessary in order to conduct the
schools for the required length of
time during the ensuing year. This
people should take an interest In
this election A. IL IL important that
the management Of the schools
should be in competent hands, and
none should hesitate about voting
the necessary SPECIAL tax in order 70
keep the schools up 70 the very
highest standard.
As all property this year will be
assessed on the cash valuation basis
and the tax levics made on that
basis, instead of the 40 per cent
basis, as last year, IL will not re-
quire a very large special tax in
any district to raise sufficient sum,
IN addition TO the regular school
tax, to cover the needs Of the
schools.
OwIDg TO the change in the re.
venue law, IL was intended 10 amend
the law which fixes Is mills "a The
maximum levy which can be voted
by any district. The Law Wal
amended by the house, bat The bill
got lost somewhere IN the shuttle Ii
the senate and consequently the old
law remains unchanged. Informa
tiOn to this effect was received from
Attorney General Peterson thil
week.
However, il will hardly be neo
essary for any district 70 vote a Il
mill sPeeial Tax this year, owing 4
the fact that the levies are 70 b
made on the cash valuation Of al
property.

TWO GAR LOADS
OF FORDS ARRIVE

Sixteen new Ford cars arrived
here during the past week and Fred
Crulkshank, the local representative
for the Fords, reports that ten we're
already spoken for--nine In Mont
pelier and one in Soda Springs.
Fred says "the Ford fever" is work
ing on quite number of Mont
pelierites and he thinks it will be
only a matter of week or two un-
til the remaining six cars are sold.
Following are the names of those
who are now learning the art of
manipulating the benzine buggies:
H. b. Whitman, Vincent Bros,
L. B. Leverich, Tom Stephens,
VIM. Hunter, Chas. Page, r. T..
Dennis, John Lsntry and Charlie
Brown of Liberty. Bob SneddoD
has also joined the bunch who will
help TO keep the wolf from the door
of John D Rockefellow in his old
age, by burning more or less gaso-
line, having bought George Dana's
car.
Before the end of this season, IL
is believed that there will be close
to rs autos in Bear Lake county
This means that something like
$1,000 will go into the state good
road fund from this county, under
the provisions Of the new law.
Now the only way that this county
can derive any benefit from that
sum for good roads, will be for the
people to vote bonds for improving
the highways. In that event 7C
per cent of the $1,000, or sl,I2C
would be returned to this county to
be used solely Tor paying interest
on the bonds.
The number of autos in the coun.
ty is certain to increase rapidly il
the future, and We feel safe in say
ing that within three years 10 pc
cent of the auto license In this conn
ty will amount to $4,000. Tha
would pay the interest on pc
cent bonds to the amount Of abon
s34, 600.
If the auto owners are willing u
90 that far toward occurring GOO
roads in the county, the balance 0
the taxpayers ought TO be willing 1
do a. much. This would meal
that the county could be bonded 70
J s65, 100, and that amount expende,
jndiciously would put the roads o
: Bear Lake county in excellent cor
dluoD.
