Posr OF BEAvER.-The Post Of Beaver
is about one and a half miles east OF
Beaver City. For beauty and conven-
ience a more desirable site could not
have well been selected. Beaver river
runs directly through the Reservation
which occupies four square miles--close
to the Post, furnishing the best Of water.
The quarters are built Of rock, and are
roomy, we'll ventilated and substantial
edifices--the best we have seen in the
Territory. Theparade ground resembles,
in some respects, a monstrous billiard ta-
bic with lengthy cue standing in the
center OF it, on q grand scale; it S beauty
and no mistake. 1t is very large, occu-
pying something over five acres, and is

The London Times has an editorial ON
the iron question, the burden Of which
is that one of the first markets England
ever had is being gradually closed to her,
and her disasters in this direction are not
vet ended. The United States is com.
peting successfully for the control of the
iron trade in Canada. South America and
the West Indies. That country contest
ed under immense national disadvanta-
ges but has beaten England in spite of
these. England cannot afford to lie idle
or sleep away her time and waste her
money in competing with the thrifty,
active and intelligent nations. The
Times thinks much of the blame should
fall upon the strikers and trade unions.

sent one OF her last years gowns to a
starving aud ragged pensioner, and con-
graduated herself upon her charity. I'M
agine her surprise aud pleasure when it

but heroic statement that it was too full
behind for the present style, and would

The power of love is shown in the
case of girl in Iowa who went over
three miles from home to pasture lot
belonging to her father, and there cut
the throat of a calf, 30 that when the old
gentleman heard of the matter he might
hasten thither and thus give her a court
ing spell with lover who had been
warned not to appear on the premises.
