Col. Fred. ID. Grant, eldest son OF
President Grant, was married last Tues
day at Chicago to Miss Ida Maria Hon
ore, of that city. The wedding was the
grandest social event that Chicago ever
saw. A number of Gen. Grants cabi-

nent men of the country. The young
couple will spend the winter in Wash

Since the October election, the Demo

this subject, and from his report we
find that at the very best estimate that
can be given them the Democrats will
be in the minority by members.
There was high old wedding in Gin

soon to define his position on the third
term question The same correspond

disavow any aspiration for third term,
and that he will not be a candidate even
il he is nominated. 1t is to be hoped
that the President will do something
that will stop all the ''twaddle' about
a third term. and relieve the fears of
some of those weak kneed persons who
are shaking and trembling for fear he
will want TO be Dictator. The silly
stuff got off by some of the latter is
sickening. We hope Gen. Grant Will

II amounts to 80 cents per share, or

We have been informed by citizens Of
Paradise Valley that the rains and warm
weather started q volunteer crop Of
wheat and barley on the ranches In the

many OF the farmers that II will be un-
necessary TO SOW many wheat and barley
fields in tho Spring. as the volunteer
crop in some fields Is sufficiently thick
for all purposes, and q good covering Of
snow during Winter will insure II beyond
doubt. sffiW
W. II. Mitchell. an old resident OF
Paradise Valley. discovered q few weeks
ago some float quartz on the east side Of
the West Paradise range. between Provo
and woodburn. He had 4 sample OF the
float assayed. and found that II con-
tanned Sl3 in silver and 90 in gold.
Last week he went to tracing the float.
and succeeded in finding o largs-sizsd

feet apart. He showed rs q specimen
Of ors taken from one Of thom which he
thinks will assay at least 800 per ton in
silver. 1t has long been believed that
the West Paradise range contained
valuable mines. as some stock herdcrs
found ore west OF Willow Point Station
several years ago which was represented
an being very rich in silver.
