Explosion Toll Numbers Eight Kemmerer, Wyo.—Kemmerer was a city of mourning Wednesday, when the funerals of the eight victims of Monday's mine magazine explosion, were held. This latest tragedy of the coal mines collected 100 per cent toll as every man who was at the maga zine at the Sublet mine Monday when the mysterious explosion occurred died. One man was killed instantly, three died bhfore ten o'clock Mon day night, after being brought to a hospital in this city, and the remain ing four passed away during the early hours of Tuesday. The miners' union, which had charge of the funerals, planned to assemble the eight caskets, in the pavlllion, the towns' largest auditor ium, and had part of the last sad rites in the nature of a joint cere monial. The tragedy has cast a deep gloom over the little coal mining camp of Sublet. Speculation as to the prob able cause of the explosion is a fruit ful topic throughout the entire min ing district of which Kemmerer 1 b the center, but not one of the injur ed men became sufficiently lucid to give a coherent account, and those interested are compelled to rely upon conjecture.

I -HftW HUMMER OUTING - / At a meeting of the acting troop committee of local boy scouts last j, Monday evening it was determined to make the coming hike and outing around Bear Lake a community af fair as far as the boys of the town desired to co-operate. The hike will be m ade during the we e k of Augu st | 9j"Sny boy of the .town over the age Tji twelve is invited to go on the hike. Each boy will contribute toward the mess fund for the week. In addition to this meanB of financing the trip a committee was appointed to so licit the business district for ration contributions. This is an opportunity for many boys of Montpelier who per haps would not be able to enjoy an outing during the entire summer but for some such movement Those having it in charge feel that it should have the hearty support of parents and the entire city popula tion. A meeting of the boys desir ing to go is called for Friday night at eight o'clock at the high school. For further information concerning the proposed trip communicate with Mr. A. J. Winters. as this. To the Republican Vot ers of Bear Lake County. On August 3rd you will nominate your candidate for the office of Pro bate Judge. The Statutes do not require that he shall keep his office open all of the time, but says in part: "The Probat« Judge must have an office at the county seat, and must establish such rules and hours for official business as may be necessary for the dis patch thereof." Another section pro vides that: "The following officers must reside at the county seats of their respective counties: The Pro bate Pudge," etc. The office pays $1,000 per year, which is not enough to justify one's entire time; and in fact the duties thereof do not require it; as a result for many years past the office has been open only for a few days of each week, which has been a disadvantage to those having matters before the court. It shouldJ>e a fact worth consider ing to know that your probate work ten be attended to on the day that is most convenient tof you to come to the county seat. Most of my time is now spent at the Court House, and my past ex perience in land matters, and famil iarity with the County Records as well as probate proceedings, which covers a period of nearly fifteen years will certainly be no detriment to my serving you as Probate Judge. Here tofore I have held no county office and if considered worthy by my friends will endeavor to serve the of Bear Lake county to the peop e best of my ability. Efficiency should be considered in the selection of public officiate. Your support at the Primary Elec tion will be appre ciate d . W. SMITH HOGE, Republican Nomine« tor Probata Jndga.

After the banquet the assemblage I djourned to the rooms of the Cham ber of Commerse where the Com mander delivered a short address. He reviewed the things that the Legion had done in the way of beneficial legislation for our disabled comrades. He also spoke of the relations of the Legion to capital and labor; empha sizing the fact that the Legion aa an organization never had taken sides and never would, and mentioned in stances too lengthy to relate here where this policy had been put to the test and won out, also winning many friends and members from la bor organizations who had misun derstood the attitude of the Ameri can Legion. Mr. D'Olier la a man of unusual personality and appearance that be speaks of success and an untiring willingness to werk for principles he believes to be right.
