II wrote you about three weeks

His death was not unexpected as he
had not been well since early in the
summer. although he had been at

WILL THERE Bic VACANCIES
IN THESE COUNTY OFFICE

Three men who were elected coun-
ty offices in Idaho ON Nov. Z, have
died. They are w, B. Mcfarland.
elected assessor of Kootenai county,
who died on Nov. 25th; Doc West.
elected sheriff OF Power county. who
died on Nov. 9th, and L. P. Nell
son, elected commissioner OF Bear
Lake county, who met an untimely
death ON Dec. S. Probably never
before in the history of Idaho has
there been such seemingly strange
occurrence.
The question naturally arises. who
will fill the offices TO which these
men were elected? The law says
that all incumbent officers of coun-
ty shall hold office and serve until
their successors are elected and duly
qualified AS these three men died
before they had qualified as TO bond
or oath OF office, the real question
hinges ON whether or not vacancies
viii exist In the offices OF assessor,
sheriff and commissioner OF these
counties on the second Monday IN
next January. The courts viii prob

ton, but as we understand the situ-
alton the matter cannot be taken into

A WE'LL LIGHTED CITY

Montpelier can boast of being the
best lighted city of its size In the
intermountain country. The new
street lighting system recently in
stalled is not OF an ornamental type,
but is one which Is very efficient and
will give the maximum amount of
light at minimum cost for opera
ton. The larger lamp is much
more efficient than the smaller type
used In the ornamental sort, and
hanging at a higher level, II casts
its rays over greater area.
The lights are suspended at the
intersections OF the various streets
and on Main street at points midway
betweent he crossings. In all there
are $4,000 candle power OF illumi
nation, spreading over an area Of
approximately one square mile, Of
an average of one candle power II
Illumination to each square foot 81
area.
The cost OF the installation ex
ceeded the estimate considerably, du,
