with a congressional campaign
about to begin the biennial battle Of
the "outs" against the Sins" is on
Plans are being laid to dislodge the
sitting members from many congress
sional districts, for no other reason
than that the "outs" want to be "in."
1t is the same old story and the same
appeal to the voters. After man has
been a member of congress for a few
terms the chap back home, who himself
wants to be elected to congress, goes
out with two stock arguments, which
may be summarized as follows:
1. That the present member of con-
gress has been in long enough.
2. That the present member of
congress has drawn a certain named
large sum Of money and that he should
now let some one else up to the public
crib.

From information received
by the committee which wait
ed upon Supt. Stevenson at
Pocatello last Sunday, it is
evident the Short Line Rail
way company has plans out
lined for the expenditure of
$40, 900 or more in Montpelier
this season. Besides erecting
a new passenger station, the
present depot will be enlarged
for use as a freight depot, and
the yards are to be enlarged
and re-arranged so that prac-
tically all the switching will
be done north of the Main
street crossing. This is to be
done in the interest of "safe-
ty first' and to do away with
the blocking of the. crossing
for a considerable length of
time, a condition which can
not now b e avoided when
there is a good deal of switch.
ing to do. All this is welcome
news to the citizens of Mont
pelier, and in return for what
the railroad company intends
doing, the leasts the city can
do is to make a determined
effort to have the unsightly
shacks removed from that por-
ton of the strip of land known
as "the triangle, which is di.
rectly opposite where the new
passenger station is to be
erected. If nothing else can
be done we would like to see
a sufficient amount raised by
popular subscription to buy
the shacks and move them
away.

Mail Order Buying

Is there difference between buying YOUR gro
ceres OF us or buying them from a mail order
house.
Yes there is wonderful difference i'm buying
from us and in buying from mail order house
several hundred miles away.
In the first place we meet mail order house
prices.
In the second place we are right here where
you can either phone come in and call our
attention to anything that might not be correct
the next time you are in town.
In the third place you always see the article
spent your money for it.
In the fourth place you do not have to wait ten
days to two weeks for your goods, and you have
that anxiety as to whether or not they will be up
to the standard of quality of which you wish
them to be.
In the fifth place we trade you good groceries
for your butter and eggs. which any mail order
house will not do.
We might go on and give you reason after rea-
son why you should buy your groceries of u.s.
why it is to your advantage to trade with us but
space will not permit.
We might go quote you prices along side
OF mail order house prices but ast though

NEED BETTER POSTOFFICE
FACILITIES

ctuU can Wen aUOrQ 20 take up
aud that is better postofice
facilities for Montpelier. The
lease on the present building
does not expire until the first
of next February, but it is
none too soon to begin figur-
ing on either a new location
or greatly improving the facil.
tiles in the present location.
As every one knows, it is slow
work getting anything from
Uncle Sam, owing to the great
amount of ''red tape" that has
to be gone through with in all
the departments.
What Montpelier is entitled
to, and ought to have is about
a $4,000 government building,
but if a bill providing for such
a building should be intro
duced by either one of Idaho's
representatives in congress at
this time, it would be about
three years at least before
work would even be started
on a building, providing the
bill was passed at this session
of congress. But as our ma
tional law makers now have
their hands full, and more too,
with national and inter nation
al questions, a bill for a gov.
ernment building in Montpel.
Ter would stand about as much
show passing this session of
congress as a turtle would
have winning in a race against
Barney Oldfield driving his
speed demon.
The possibility Of a govern.
ment building being out of
the question for-some years to
come, the only thing to do is
for the citizens of Montpelier,
through b e ir commercial
club, to demand accommoda-
tons in keeping with the city
and the volume of business
transacted at this postofice.
The federal government, like
most large corporations, sell
dom take the initiative in pro-
viding the people with needed
public conveniences. While
each one of the many hundred
patrons Of the Montpelier
postotfice is fully cognizant of
the inadequate accommoda-
tions of the present quarters,
they cannot realize the incon.
veniences under which POST
master Robson and his clerks
have to work.
Under the conditions of the
present lease Mr.. Robson is
powerless to improve condi-
lions about the Office, SO the
public will have to be content
with them for the next ten
months. But there is no rea.
son in the world why Mont
pelier should not have larger
and better postofice quarters
after the first of next Febru-
airy. However, in order to
get them it will be absolutely
necessary to begin working
now. Il the Office is to be re-
moved from it's present quar-
ters, there will be all kinds of
agitation as to where it should
be located. On that point the
Examiner does not care to en-
ter into a discussion for, like
the city hall, no matter what
location is proposed some will
have a kick coming. While
we cannot all unite on a loca-
tion, the citizens of Montpel-
Ter can and should unite in a
demand for larger quarters,
more lock boxes and better
facilities all around. The peo-
pie are entitled to them and
they can get them if they will
60 after them in the right
way. |
