Almost everyone has some little

The insertion of little classified ads

MONTPELIER WILL
VOTE THE BONDS.

WITH the approach or the NUM-
cipal bond election April 18th to vote
ON the proposition to bond the city
in the sum of $4,000 for street paw
ing, sentiment is increasing in favor
of this one important undertaking.
With Main street in its present con-
dition there is every inducement to
vote in favor of the bonds, and we
believe the votes, when counted on
the night of April IL, will show an
almost unanimous choice in favor of
paving.
There appears to be some slight
Misunderstanding as to the extent of
the paving district. While the dis
trict. as declared, includes Main
street from Fourth street to the o.
s L. depot, 1t does not mean that all
this work will have to be done this
year. but 1t is the desire or many that
1t should be done at once. 1t is ar
gued that 1t will be cheaper proper
tionately, to pave seven blocks than
three, because contractors now days
have all the work they can do and
would not move their equipment a
long distance for a small job as
cheaply as for a larger contract.
The city officials can use their
own judgment whether to confine
the work this year to the three blocks
in the business district or continue
the paving to Fourth street, and we

TIME TO
THINK BASEBALL.

is Montpelier going to play ball
this coming summer? II SO it is
about time to lay plans for an active
season along this line. We believe
that every man and woman in Mont
pelier and other towns of the coun-
ty are interested in the great nation
al game, and if Montpelier starts the
ball rolling other towns will follow
suit, and it is not unlikely that
enough teams can be mustered right
here in Bear Lake county to form a
league.
If not a county league we should
get busy and interest such communi-
ties as Lava, Soda Springs and per-
haps one of the Wyoming towns near
by in joining with us in a baseball
league. If Montpelier and Paris each
organize a good strong ball team 1t
will go a long way toward lining up
enough teams in this vicinity to form
a league. Much interest is added
to the game when several commun-
tiles join in league and play
through the season for prize in the
form of a penant to the winning
team.
If the merchants of this city were
to act upon the suggestion mention
ed at one of the recent meetings of
the Boosters club and declare half
