THE GOVERNOR ISSUES
CLEANUP PROCLAMATION

Governor Alexander has issued a
designating the week
beginning April u and ending April
N as annual cleanup week. The
idea Of a cleanup week was inaugu-
rated by Governor Haines last year
and it was wonderfully successful
throughout the state.
Acting in conjunction with Cover
nor Alexander, the state pure food
department has sent letters to all
city officials, asking tkem to take
this matter up and make special
effort to have the people devote as
much of their time as possible to
cleaning their promises during the
time above stated. In many of the
towns last yeaa all business was sus-
pended for one day during cleanup
week and men. women and childrer
joined In the cleanup crusade.
"The reason we have so many
dirty towns is because we have s.
many dirty people, says Pure FoO'
Commissioner White, in circula
just issued. mo town is in itsel

The town is nairror-it reflects th

JOE TAYLOR WILL
NOT Be CANDIDATE

Il positively win not accept the
nomination for Mayor Of Montpelier
this year. This is final, so those who
have been suggesting my name In
connection with that office. can now
look elsewhere for a candidate. +"
Thus spoke j. j. Taylor to the Ex-
aminer representative the first Of
this week. That MIR. Taylor would
have been acceptable TO large num-
ber Of the citizens Of Montpelier. II
evidenced by the favorable comment
made upon the Examiners suggest
ton Of his name last week. Now
that Mr.. Taylor cannot be considered
in connection with the nomination
for that Office, Il would be well for
those who are interested In the city's
welfare to be looking about for some
man who can be induced to accept
the nomination who will take
M interest in the affairs Of the cits
during the next two years and vii
use his best efforts to zee that tn
laws of the land are impartially en-
forced.
The indications are that there vii
be lively contest in the convention
over the nomination for city clerk
Thos. Barrett. the present ineum
bent, informs the Examiner that h
will seek a denomination. We ~
derstand that VIM. J. Ryan has hi
! political eye focused on that ofiic
for the next two years and there wi
doubtless be other aspirants for tn
nomination by the time conventio
Is held.
No move has been made y.
towards calling a convention. bl

Moscow. Idaho, March Is. 1915.

Moscow, Idaho, March 25, 1915.
Bear Lake county was named after
Bear Lake, and Bear Lake was 50
called, presumably, because Of the
absence Of bears. Although some Of
the old timers can spin thrilling
yarns of bears in this vicinity. There
is another Bear Lake in Canada and
two villages also claim the name.
Many of the towns in Bear Lake
county were named by the little
bands of settlers who built their rude
log cabins here, after some town
they had formerly lived in; some for
the thoughts Of home it would bring
to them, and some were just named.
1t is generally conceded that Mont
pelier was named after the city Of
the same name in Vermont. The
sturdy old pioneers, who settled this
city 81 years ago were believers IN
the doctrines of Joseph Smith, ard
so they very appropriately named
their new metropolis after the city
of his birth. Nine other cities ard
villages also bear the name of Mont
pelier. The majority Of the authori-
ties agree on its pronunciation as
mont-peel-yer. The most famous city
(outside of Idaho, Of course) to bear
this name is Montpelier, France. 1t
is the capital of the department of
Herault and has population of 75,-
900. 1t is one of the most famous
cities in France and many historical
events of great significance are linked
with its name. A prominent manu-
featuring city in Indiana and one in
Ohio are named Montpelier. Iowa
Kentucky, Mississippi, Virginia and
Wisconsin also boast of having vii
lagos of that name. Our Montpelier
stands third in population.
It is believed that Bennington wa'
named after a Vermont town of th'
same name. There are eight othel
Benningtons, including the site O
the famous Revolutionary Battle o
Bennington, and one county bear
the name.
Georgetown seems to be the mos
popular name in the country. Their
are forty-three other Georgetowns
many Of them in British colonies
The most famous of all cities of tbs
name is now part of the city Q
Washington, D. C. and was the ger
ter of fashionable society in Color ni'
times.
Marlboro is a corruption Of Il
words, ward, meaning a certain div
sion Of the church, and borough, Il
old English name for q village. n
only other Marlboro in America
also in Vermont.
Dingle is nearly as exclusive, al
