Protest Suits.

The trouble between the different
claimants on the Rebellion, unlike
the honest man who gathers no
moss, continues to increase at a rapid
rate. On this hill there is the Pin
yon, the Pinyon Extension, the Bible
Back, the Samuel, the Fallon, the
Climax, the Senate, the James A.
Garfield, the Tidal Wave, the Null
kahy, the Shamus O'Brian, the Re-
bellion, the Hecla, the Htna. the
Roaring Lion, the Centaur, the Ph9-
nix, and the Lafayette claims. The
Bible Back, consisting of the Bible
Back, Samuel and Fallon, were the
first to apply for patents, and the
first to protest against the issuance
of patents to this group was the Re
belIion group, consisting of the
Tidal Wave, Mulkahy, Shamus
O'Brian, Rebellion, Htna and Hecla,
and as a starter filed seven COM
plants in the Third District Court,
the filing taking place on Wednes-
day. These are the Rebellion oS. the
Bible Back, Rebellion 0S. the Samuel,
Rebellion Us. the Fallon,the Shamus
O'Brien GS. the Bible Back, and the
Shamus O'Brien 0S. the Samuel; the
Mulkahy US. the Samuel, and the
Mulkahy Us. the FallOn. These suits
are brought to determine the titled
right Of possession as between the
Rebellion Silver Mining Company
and the owners of the Bible Back
group, with whom is joined the
Climax Consolidated Mining Com
pany. The Climax having become
interested in the Bible Back group,
will be required to show, under the
pleadings, the nature and extent of
their claims. So far ten suits have
planted in the Third District Court
the cause of disagreement in all
being the right to possession of the
properties on Rebellion Hill. 1t
would seem that these ten suits
would be about all that one good
mine, such as the Rebellion, ought
to be able to stand; but it has be-
come as proverbial in this country,
that while there is a dollar in a
mine, fifty persons can be found
willing to sink as many dollars in
trying to beat somebody else out of
the one dollar; and as there are but
ten suits planted so far, we await
with interest the commencement OF
the other forty.

Provo Roads.
Provo CITY, June 18th, 81.
Editor Herald:

PROVO CITY, June 18th, 81.
Editor Herald:
The remarks we have heard dur
ing the past few weeks in regard to
the condition of roads and streets in
this locality are calculated to cause
some reflections upon our ways and
by-ways, and people of other settle
ments might fear getting stuck in
the mud in passing through our
town. The fact is, our roads are
about in the same condition as other
places, and if we want better roads
we must provide some way to pay
for them. Finding fault with the
supervisor does not place means in
his hands to repair the roads. No
community can afford to continue
long without some organized effort
to cultivate public spirit and local
pride in connection with social sur
roundings; to secure better roads,
sidewalks, public grounds, and most
of all, the homes of the people in
general, by building up and beauti-
flying so as to enhance the value of
all. The people of Provo have al
ready learned that money wisely
expended for public Improvement is
a good investment, and stands re-
lated to cause and effect. 1t helps
to attract desirable residents from
other places where an unprogressive
policy would repel them. A good
name tends to enrich town or COM
munity as well as an individual,
while a bad name defeats its own
aim of saving, and may result in
loss. The good influence that would
grow directly from good roads is
not to be set down in words or ex-
pressed in figures. There would be
less idleness, less profanity and less
need of strict police regulations.
A city will grow in good order
and morality in the same ratio
that it grows in external beauty and
attractions. An ambition to beau
tify and benefit ones own home and
immediate surroundings is worthy
of the best and noblest characters,
but to be continually finding fault
with the road supervisor without
providing the necessary means to
enable him to repair the roads only
betrays our ignorance and helps to
give us a reputation as irst-class
grumblers.
We claim to have the very best
police regulations, and feel proud of
it, and whenever we are as willing
to pay for good roads we shall have
them too. w. B.

Tkc Democratic Convention

DesMomes, 16.-After recess, W.
L. Stow was made president. The
platform has nothing notable, ex-
cept a demand for revenue reform,
and for turning republicans out of
Office on account of the settled prac-
tice of theft and plumber into which
they have grown, and a strong pro-
hibition plank. Judge Z. G. Kinnie
was nominated for governor; G. NJ.
Walker for lieutenant governor, II.
B. Henderson, for judge of the
supreme court, and w. H. Rutter
for superintendent of public instruc-
ton. Adjourned.

Washington Notes.

Washington, 16.-The secretary
of the interior, to-day, denied the
pending request for a stay of issu.
ance of a patent and a Tehearing OF
controversy concerning the public
lands of San Jose. He officially in
forms the commissioner Of mineral
land of Wyoming, that he has care
fully examined the decisions and
orders made by the land Office and
by his predecessor, Secretary SchurZ,
| in this case, and finds no reason to
disturb the issuance Of a patent in
conformity with the amended sur
vey of Deputy Surveyor Thompson.
The application for rehearing was
for the purpose of endeayoring to
exclude from the patent a triangular
tract known as "WilloW Grove"
now owned by the Odd Fellows
Bank, of San Francisco, under fore
closure of q mortgage, made to
secure a large loan upon it,
Inquiry in official quarters con-
corning the appointment Of Henry
Cope as agent at San Francisco, Utce
Payne, removed, ELECTS the informa-
ton that there are no charges
against Payne's official conduct, but
it is held there was no sufficient
reason for his appointment in the
first place. and Cope is regarded as
more suitable man for the position.
The treasury department, to-day,
purchased $4,000 ounces of fine sill
yer for the Philadelphia and San
Francisco minis.
Secretary Lincoln referred to Gen
eral Sherman the letter from Secre-
tary Kirkwood, relative to the
alleged establishment on the South
ern Ute reservation, of new sta
ton by the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad, and the erection of saloons,
dance houses, etc., with the request
that the general take necessary and
proper action towards removing the
intruderS.
The following named enlisted men
of the signal corps, are members OF
the Lady Franklin Bay expedition,

Edward Israel, D. G. RalstOn and
II. S. Gardner.
Commissioner of pensions, Bentley,
in resigning, takes that occasion to
write a letter, showing the great inn
provement of the service and the
great economy and great honesty
that characterized his AdministTa-
ton Of the office. He wishes the
Administration and his successor
complete success. The Presidents
request for his resignation was not
to be a reflection on his personal or
official integrity, but based on COM
plants of his management and re-
organizations. 1t is understood the
President offered him a foreign ap-
pointment, and he declined.
Evening papers say that Pitney,
custodian of the treasury, will retire
at the close of the fiscal year and
General E. ". Whitaker, of this
city, will succeed him. He was
Clusters chief of staff during the
war, and is a prominent republican
member of the Tow Path Club.

The Double Marriage "

Last evening another large
audience assembled at the Theatre
to witness the first presentation, OF
Reads drama, the Double Mar
rage" The piece itself is remark
ably fine and is intensely interesting
There are many fine situations. the
dialogue is excellent, and there
is ample scope for acting. Miss
Claxton, of cou Sc, is the attrac-
ton, and provedsthat her reputation
as an emotional actress was thor
roughly merited. Messrs. Steven
son and Arnott played with
admirable effect. Mr.. j. Z. Burke,
while having a part which did
not admit of any particular dis
play, played with effect, and showed
that he possessed ability. Miss
Johnson is most able actress. and
the same may be said of Miss Pike
and Miss Mansfield. Mr.. Gilbert, as
the comedian, made good deal out
of his part. The audience was un-
usually appreciative, and the piece
was watched throughout with pro-
found attention. The applause
was very liberal.
Tonight "FrOu Frou" will be
given, and as many seats have al
ready been reserved, those desiring
the good ones will need to go early.

Denver, Col, 16.-About noon to-
day, James Moon, a notorious
gambler was shot and instantly
killed by Clay Wilson, another
gambler. The shooting resulted
from a quarrel about woman.
Moon had threatened Wilson's life
and to-day started to put him out of
his saloon, when the latter turned
and fired, producing four wounds,
any one of which would have caused
death.

Keep the Buildings Painted.

The manufacturers Of paints keep
almost every description prepared ready
for use, and in suitable cans to be trans.
ported, with such brushes as may be
needed for domestic purposes. Some of
the paints, which would answer very
well for outside work, can be purchased
at very moderate prices. Hence there
is no reason that there should he found
among farm dwellings and out-houses
so many Of them going to decay for want
Of little paint, which The owner or his
boys could readily apply without diff
Guilty, thus not only adding to the gen
eral appearance of the buildings, but
greatly tending to their preservation
In parison with this the cost of the
paint and labor is a mere trife and not
worth counting. 1t is the woodwork on
the outside OF buildings which suffers.
presenting most unsightly appearance,
and begins early to decay. A good coat
of paint as often as may be needed
would preserve it for ut least twice the
length of time that would be the case in
the absence of paint. This fact is worth
( serious consideration, as it will be found
/ that, instead of causing an expenditure
/ of money that many must think is
thrown away,t to look at the shabby APP
/ pearance Of their buildings, it will prove
an absolute saving. 1t should be re.
membered that money wisely spent in
cases like this is doubly saved.-Ger.

Water Melons.

Growing water-melons for local mar
ket near our small interior towns is con-
sidered by a large class as very small
business But it is not such. Even
our small villages are rarely supplied
with good melons. though the surround
ing country is admirably adapted to
their culture. OF course it would not
do for every farmer to raise water-melons
for the home market, as the supply
would SON create a stagnation in prices,
but many who live near town, could
make it profitable planting half or a
whole acre, or more, of melons man
uring the land well, and preparing the
ground thoroughly, For large'size mel
Ons, IN most Of our Eastern and West
ern towns in this State, ready market
is open all through the season. This
business is nearly monopolized by ne
groes who do not take the pains that is
necessary to raise choice melons. In
our own little city the first melons of
the season usually bring 30 cents each,
and good sized melon is rarely ever sold
at any time for less than 20 cents. a
farmer near this place, who plants a
small patch every year for market, esti-
mates that if all the melons grown on
an acre can be sold at 10 cents each,
the acre will bring him $50. He had
an acre and a half in melons last year
(and it was a bad melon season., and
sold SO worth, and thinks he gave away
and consumed together as many as he
sold. We know Of a negro near here,
who for years has planted a patch for
market, for which he usually nets 500.
Melon culture is only one Of the indus
tries that pay handsomely for the time,
labor and expense incurred in raising
them. There is no healthier fruit than
good, fresh melons. Every farmer
should raise enough for home use.-Live

Bring Home Something.

Nearly every farmer goes to the near
est village to trade, visit a mechanic, or
obtain his letters and papers, at least
once a week., He often takes load to
market, but he rarely brings one home.
He can, with very little trouble, haul a
load Of material that may be obtained
for nothing, and which viii be Of great
benefit to his land. Most village peo-
pie make no use of the ashes produced
in their stoves or Of the bones taken
from the meat they consume. Scarcely
any brewer has any use for the hops
that have been boiled in his watts, and
the blacksmith hardly ever saves the
clippings he takes from the feet of
horses. All these materials make eX-
ceileut manure \ barrel of shavings
cut from the hoofs Of horses contains
more ammonia than Is contained in 4
load Of stable manure. Applied to
land without preparation, they might
give no immediate results, but they
would become decomposed III time, and
crops Of all kinds would derive benefit
from them. They may be 50 treated
that they would produce immediate re
suls. by covering them with fresh
horse manure they will deeompose very
rapidly. They may also be leached in
a barrel and the water that covered
them drawn off and applied to plants.
Water in which pieces Of horns and
hoofs have been soaked Is an excellent
manure for plants that require forcing.
1t stimulates the growth of tomatoes,
rose bu-hestnd house plants very rapid
ly, and emits no offensive odors. a
vast amount Of fertiIizing material is
wasted in towns that farmers could OBJ
tain the benefit of with very little trou-
ble.--Chicago Times.

Wby Farming Don't Pay.

I As a general rule il does pay, though
tbare are occasional cases where 1t does
not and MANY where il does not pay to
the extent that it ought to pay DIS
,.Issinr this subject in a late issue OF the
southern Farmers Monthly, Mr.. NJ
Fl .ZelIner. of Ashville, Ala, says one
Of the greatest obstacles to success IN a
large majority Of cases, Is the lack OF
information on the part OF the farmers ,
yerv few of whom avail themselves OF
the teachings Of good agricultural pub
LEGATIONS. and are unfortunately ignorant
of the fact that they stand IN need OF
anv further information In relation 10
their occupation 1t will require long
time to remove this obstacle, and the
main reliance is the present readers OF
such publications, who, by the proper
effort might, in the course Of time, bring
their unfortunate friends toa knowledge
Of the worth of good agricultural publ
cations, and induce them to become sub
scribers. If every reader Of good agri-
journals would enlist in this
work in good earnest, and religiously
perform his whole duty towards his I'M
fortunate brethren. much good would be
accomplished without material cost to
any one. 1t is often truly said that ag-
riculture Is the most honorable occupa-
ton. but at present the remark Is not
to a large majority Of those
engaged in the occupation. Every
member Of the agricultural fraternity
ought TO exert himself to the utmost, To
elevate those who are engaged in this
honorable occupation to the honorable
position which they ought to occupy,
and there il no better way to accomplish
this desirable object, than that Of
placing good agricultural publications
into the hands Of farmers generally
