oT the wall az depth suited to its consistency and
III the wall is complete Sa at .Ie ~ a arge
enough to furnish the earth IN th o I1 s nro
poruonaie width and depth, anu ~roperly sloped

OF necessity there must be gates and bast,~,s and
we recommend that there be one gate on the 18th
ne to be the street next west OF the bath house
one gate at City Creek one where the railroad cross
es the line, one on the street that win best accommo
date the travel to and from the east and sufficient
number on the south line to reasonably accommodate
the travel into the big field and the country south
that half moon bastons be made in the wall, at dis
ground will admit and at the gates and corners
We would further recommend the following method
for raising and applying the means to build the WALL
to wit-Let the assessor charge ten dollars on every
city lot now surveyed or that may be surveyed with
in said wall then rate each lot that is or may be
TAKEN at its fair cash market value. according to its
location, and also the improvements thereon; then
estimate near as may be, the cost OF m skng the
wall, deduct therefrom the amount arising from the
ten dollars on each lot and with the balance Of the
estimate and the amount arising from the valuation
OF lots and improvements, arrive OF the per centage
said valuation; this to be done by wards as soon
it be handed to the bishop of that ward who will
the collection and application of his portion; the col
lection to be made in any mode that will answer the
designed purpose
All of which is respectfully submittedby

INDIAN DIFFICULTIES.
But little has transpred under this head since orr
generally, for few weeks have appeared very quiet
dong little damage except taking little grain and
vegetables occasionally, more particularly in the
region of Summit creek.
About three o'clock on the morning Of September
18th, William Hatton was killed by Indians, while
standing a r1 q 10 hot Tho
Pauvahs committed ;his deed, as they have besn
quite saucy at times, aud have stolen much wheat
from the fields at that place. Five Indians have
been killed at Manti date not learned. There has
also been some indian chasing done in the south
tart of Utah valley; dates aud particulars not
known here. Continue to watch
Finally, brethren in the MOUNTAINS take care of
yourselves and the mills in your vicinity, where you
may want your wheat made into flour. Ii you do
not, you may want help and bread when your neigh
bors can't help you
ITEMS CURIOUS AND ENg OBTAINING.
Our friends will rejoice with us that fresh supply
OF paper has this moment arrived and we lose no
time in putting sheet to the press, in the full conf
issues for one year at least. Our type was mostly
set for this number some six or eight weeks since,
hoping for earlier arrivals and we do not feel dis
posed to change the plan Of history but to bring
up arrearages in future numbers as fast as possible
A. W. Baobit Esq, arrived in our city on the 2sth,
news from the States, the nations of the earth.
Mr. Rabbit has been appointed Secretary of Utah.
He has our best wishes. We do not learn that any
changes have been made in orr public officers as YETI
time will determine what viii be dote. AT present
Utah is suited with her officers.
All things are que. aud peaceful among the saints
few outlandish men have recently been convicted
before our courts for stealing CATTLE cash. &C. whose
names and history we are not familiar With
poor place for rogues is Utah. They had be ter keep
away.
Heavy immigration, to California mostly, passed BY
and generally behaved themselves we'll compared
with former years, to great dispro instead Of pro-
hts to our city, for we have no breadsuf TO spare
Tor our wheat measures well, but weighs high. 20 far

Let immigrants watch as well as pray while com.
ing to this place; Indians and white men are very
uncertain.
