STATEMENT,B BY
NEW AUDITOR

County Auditor Silas l.. Wright,
formerly chairman Of the Board OF
county commissioners, makes the
following statement to the people of
Bear Lake County:
''It would probably be no more
than fair to make some statement in
connection with my resigning as
county commissioner and accepting
tho appointment as clerk auditor
and recorder. This change Is by no
means an evidence of lack OF appre-
citation for tho past favors extended
to me by the people of the county.
but will give as good an opportunity
for service to the people as on the
board of commissioners. In fact my
acquaintance of county affairs can be
used to all tho better advantage, as
shall retain my connection with
them as clerk. / fully appreciate
tho confidence of the people of the
county and thus far have endeavored
to give the best possible service as
"a public servant. Upon learning -
the intention OF Mr.. Rich 20 leave
the county. I made application TO

foro receiving 1t conferred with my
friends upon tho matter and received
their endorsement. In fact before

that thero waa any trade or put

myself, I desire to'correct 1t, as
everything was dono high and
above hand" and tho public was in
formed of tho probable change be-
forO any resignation had been given
or any appointments made.
No doubt 1t will become necessary

SILOS FOR
BEARLAKE

The Bear Lake County Farm Bu-
reau is to be responsible for the
building of the first silos in the
county, or in tho valley.
at least five of it's members with
the organization, Mr.. Thiel of Mont
pelier, and the county commissioners
cooperating, will construct silos dur
ing Nav, June and July of this year.
In developing a program OF work
the organization has very wisely laid
emphasis on the possibilities OF
dairving in this section. The four
outstanding needs in developing the
dairy project are: More and better
feeds, better breeding, better hous-
ins and better markets.
With the possible exception OF
breeding the herd with a genuinely
good sire of a standard dairy breed
the feed situation is the most impor-
tant, and with an abundance of first
class alfalfa hay and grain available
this difficulty will be overcome SO
far as these particular men are con-
cerned when their silos are built
and filled.
Some work is being done on better
heading and better housing. The
marketing problem will largely solve
itself as the production of first class
milk is increased.
A genuine cooperative spirit has
obtained amonk farm bureau mem
bers in several communities where
individuals have decided to build
In these communities the member:
have proffered to give the individual
the assistance necessary in the mat
ter of building and filling the sllo
and are going to make close observa
tion of the value of sunflower ensi
lage when fed to either dairy COWS
sheep, or beef.
Silo building will be one of tn
few big steps forward in the deveI
opment Of the agriculture of thi
section, and the ten by thirty foo
concrete structure will be menu
ment for the enterprising and far
seeing farmers who are going t
build.
Those who will build silos thi
summer are j. W. Cook, Paris; w. {

The Election Tuesday

Tuesday, April 26 will doubtless prove to be the big
gest and most interesting election day held in the city Of
Montpelier for the election of city officers More than 800
voters have registered for the election which, according to
available figures outnumbers all previous registrations by
upwards of 5O0 there being but 25 registrations for the
election two years ago.
While the campaign has been very quiet, and best OF
all absolutely clean yet there promises to be keen con-
test at the polls There are two good tickets in the field
and is safe that the voters will their very best
judgment in selecting to the affairs Of the city
during the next two years.
It is true that there is wide difference of opinion
to which ticket contains the best to the city at
this particular time II there not there wouldn't be
two tickets. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Williams the nomi
Mayor have got good sound business backing
them up and who certain that their will be elected
but of course this is strictly matter Of speculation is
up to the voters of the city to decide the winner for
all and with 800 voters registered surely the man
who wins will know that the people wanted him. and it will
likewise be OF comfort to the losing candidate to
know that the people turned out IN such numbers to
else their franchise to vote.
