ERECTION OF ICE HOUSES
WILL HELP MONTPELIER

The erection of the immense ice
houses at this point by the Pacific
Fruit Express company, will mean
considerable to Montpelier in the
way of a pay roll, as it will require
quite . force of men to ice the re-
frigerator cars during the summer
seasons, and also quite a force in the
winter while the ice is being harvest
ed. The fruit trains are often conn
posed of from 30 to As cars and as
each car will be re-iced here, it means
bhat good many thousand tons OF
lie will have to be stored in order tc
supply these cars.
In my opinion, said local Shori
Line official to the Examiner repre-
sentative in talking about the matter
ii means that the Paris branch vii
be extended to st. Charles. at least
in the near future so that the com
pany can secure its ice from Bea
Lake. When the officials were her
some time ago TO decide upon tn
site for the ice houses. one Of then
was heard to remark that Bear LAX
would furnish the company with a
unlimited supply of the best ice /

no question but what the eompan
had thia great ics supply in vie

ing point for its refrigerator cars.
Then / think they will find it difficult
to secure the needed amount of good
ice from the ice ponds which it is
proposed to make in the vicinity of
the houses. Of course nothing will
be done this year toward extending
the Paris branch. but | firmly believe
it will be done in the near future. "
There is no question in onr mind
but what the local official is guess
ing about right" in regard to, the
extension of the Paris branch. On
the occasion of a visit of a number
of Short Line officials to Montpelier
and Paris couple of years ago, they
talked freely about Bear Lake as be.
ing the source from which the com
pany could secure an almost mex
haustible supply of ice, and now tha
the largest ice houses on the Shor
Line system are to be erected a

the company was planning to even
tually utilize the ice from the lake
It certainly does not seem possibl
that ponds can be made adjacent t
the proposed houses that viii be Q

enough good ice to meet the need

Some of these sorts come from the

be carried by dust. but 1t more often

GOOD PROGRAM ARRANGED.
FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA
Men and Women Of Prominence VIII Entertain
Y and Instruct Those Who Gather at Fish
Haven July D, d and "a.

United States Senator James HI.
Brady, Congressman Addison T.
Smith, Judge Alfred Bulge and
State Senator d. w. Davis will trav-
el hundreds of miles to attend the
first chautauqua ever given at Bear
Lake. When such men, active in
! national and state affairs, men who
have every opportunity to enjoy the
best of intellectual attainment, come
SO far to attend and take part in a
chautauqua program, should not the
people of Bear Lake county feel that
it will be worth the few miles they
have to travel, the two or three days
spent at the lake, the small cost of
attending, in order to hear these
men and others tell of the outside
world, Of the great world war which
is now in progress, of economical,
social and political conditions in our
own country?
A chautauqua is an institution for
study and instruction. Its purpose
is to promote habits of reading and
study in nature, art and science in
connection with the routine of daily
life; to develop the habit of close,
connected and persistent thinking.
Professor Wilbert HI. Tyer's lee
ture upon Civilization and the Eur
opean War" will make you think.
Will civilization take a stride for
ward or 90 backward when the cur
tain is rung down on the last scene
in the greatest struggle of history?

has to say about the results of the
European war.

in store for the people who will at

is full of intensity. The trials and
pathos of a life behind the foot lights
are unknown to most people outside
of the theatrical profession. Miss
Johnston's lecture, The Story Of
the Foot Lights" will be, therefore,
new and interesting to most of her
hearers.
Mrs. T. C. Hollingshead. president
of the Columbian club in Boise, is a
Chicago woman who has spent much
time and labor in the child welfare
movement. She will give an after
noon talk on this important subject,
and will also conduct question box
for those who wish to ask questions
along the line of civic movement
for the saving of the child.
Mrs. Hollingshead is an adept at
entertaining the children and will tell
stories for them an hour each morn
ing. These story hours have been
most popular in the cities, and it is
believed that the children of smaller
towns will be no less delighted with
live stories told in a charming man.
ner.
The chautauqua idea is education
al rather than amusing, and in this
way the cooking classes Of larger
chautauquas have been among the
largest attended of the sessions.
The Community Center Lyceum
Supply is fortunate in receiving the
cooperation of the state of Idaho in
its extension work, and at every
town where chautauqua is support,
ed by the citizens a cooking teacher
and a leader for the boys and girls

Miss Elizabeth Hays will have
