DON'T LIKE THE NoN-INTERcouRsE Pol
1cY.-A gentleman from st. George,
extensively engaged in farming and stock
raising in Washington county, Utah,
and now in this city, says the people of
st. George are more anxious for frequent
and rapid communication between that
place and Phoebe than we are. He says
the non-intercourse policy enjoined by
Brigham Young meets with but little
favor from the farmers of Southern Utah
that their best and only profitable
markets are in the mining districts of
Lincoln county-and that they will be
found to second, with great unanimity,
any movement looking to closer COM
mercial alliance. He thinks q direct
stage line should be established between
Phoebe and St. George, carrying the U.
S. mail at least three times a week, and
hopes petitions therefor will be circulated
here Immediately, and then sent there
for circulation. He further says the
Mormons of Washington county have no
notion of joining an exodus to north
eastern Arizona, the South Sea Islands,
or any other place; that they are happy,
contented and prosperous where they
are and intend there to remain, cultiva-
ting the friendship and inviting the pat
ronage of their Gentle neighbors. This
gentleman is prominent Mormon, and
an intelligent and liberal minded man,
but as he expressed an aversion to news
paper notsriety, we will withhold his
name.
BEARING FRUIT.-The efforts we have
been making, for the last six weeks, to
awaken the parents and friends of edu-
cation in Phoebe to the necessity of pro-
vidine larger, healthier and more con-
venient school accommodations have not
been, we are grattied to know, altogeth-
er fruitless. Influential citizens are now
agitating the question of erecting &c.,
600 school editice, the building fund to
be raised by special tax, US provided in
the school law. Why not propose $4,000
as the amount, and erect ala edifice that
will meet the public requirement and be
credit to the city for several years?
With present school-going population
of over two hundred, which is constant.
ly increasing it seems to us that il
would be expedient, wise, and in the
long run economical, to erect frst-class
building. We hope no temporary make
shift scheme will be entertained. Give
us fine, two-story school house. We
concur with the views of Education, >
in this Issue.
The School MEETING To-N1GHT.-I
parents, and citizens generally, knew
how pleasant and interesting the schoo
meeting was last Saturday, we are con
hdent the school house would be filled te
Its utmost capacity tonight. Specia
arrangements have been made for thu
accommodation Of lady auditors. SIEVE
raj prominent citizens are expected t.
deliver speeches. Propositions of i'm
portance, we are told, will be submitted
Tor consideration, relating not only t.
school but other matters Of public mo
Ment. We hope to see good attend
ance. d. 81.
HE ScHooL-GoING PopULATIoN.--Col
oDoughtery, who is manifesting com
mendable zeal in trying to place our edu
catlonal interests on more satisfactor
lootlng, has made a careful examination
ol me school-going population Of Phoebe
ana nnds that we have in our midst 2l
children between the ages OF six an
eighteen. To accommodate these youth
we have a school house as small as an O,
binary family parlor.
