On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Geo.
A. Meears was talking to a lady in
front of his place of business on
Second South street. The converse
ton occupied but few moments
and the lady moved off. A few sec
onds later and the lady returned and
asked Mr.. Meears if he had noticed
ANYBODY near her while she was
talking to him. He replied he had
not; when she told him that during
their conversation some enc had
picked her pocket, and taken her
purse containing some SI5. The
thief must have been an expert as 1t
was done where there was not a
crowd and at a time when such a
thing would be quite likely to be
detected,

OEE OF the best investments ever
made by the city corporation was the
purchase the other day OF the tract
OF land south Of town known &C the
Mill Farm. The HERALD urged the
buying Of the tract some years ago.
1t is the only place that can be con-
Verted into q park and pleasure
grounds for the benefit OF the eitizens,
who are already beginning TO feel the
need OF q ''brsAtbiDg place" where
they may obtain little country air,

under the shade of trees. Nature
has done much for this prospective
park, leaving comparatively little for
man TO do in order 10 make il = most
delightful spot, park that will for
ever be credit and comfort to Salt
Lake. The purchase comes ct q good
time, when il can be made without
increasing the tax rate or adding to
the municipal debt. The recent sale
ct fair prices Of non-reRenue produc-
ing land belonging to the corporation
supplies funds more than sufficient
to pay for the park. In
this connection Il may be well
enough to express a hope that the
city authorities will oontinus the sale
of land that stands in the corpOrA-
lion name, and which osn bs OF 10

THERE Is sn error in regard to the
amount OF light given by electric
lamps, and the electric light people
seem most interested in keeping up
the deception, though why they
should do 20 is not clear. The lamps
give plenty OF light-more, in fact,

and sometimes too much for comfort,

Oregon Short Cut Railroad.

Editor Herald:
This is one of the Union Pacific
branches, but it will prove to be the
greatest trunk line. From Granger,
on Crismon and Weiler's contract,
we find on every bend of the river
enc2mpments of graders or en-
gineerS, until the tunnel, which is
1000 feet above the level of the sea,
is reached. This tunnel is 1860 feet
long. The company is building a
switch track over the tunnel, as the
latter cannot be completed in time.
At this point we find our old time
and well known friend Faust, who
has all the heavy work approaching
the tunnel. He is putting on men
and teams by the hundred.
On going down Twin Creeks we
find contractors on every mile, and
dirt flying in every direction. This
is narrow canyon, and as there are
many rumOrs afloat of fighting and
rival companies, l will give you the
facts in the case. A man by the
name of NeguS, with one company
of engineers, came into this canyon
about the same time the U. 2. peo-
pie did. and commenced surveying,
and has let small contract. Both
contractors met on the same ground
and commenced work what one put
up the other pulled down, so they
stopped and agreed to await orders.
Mr.. c. w. Collins came up and or
dered his men ON to work. Negus
has not appeared yet and will not.
DR.. Faust has orders to fill the
canyon with men and teams if nee
essary, but there will be no trouble.
The y. P. will hold the road, and
"Don't you forget it," As things
look now the road will be to Soda
Springs by September. Mr.. Negus
seems to be stranger; no one knows
about him, but it is re-
that the Central Pacific is
backing him, though this is also de-

The Clean Newspaper.
Roston Herald

There is growing feeling in every
healthy community against the journals
which make it their special object to
minister to perverted taste by speaking
out and serving IN seductive form dis
gusting scandals and licentious revela-
tons. There is good reason TO believe
that the clean newspaper is more highly
priced to-day than it was four or five
wears ago 1t is also safe to predict that,
as people in all ranks of life who wish to
protect their own, at least, from contain
ination, become more conscious OF the
pernicious influence of certain class Of
| journals called "enterprising," because
thew are ambitious to serve up dirty
scandals. they will be careful TO see that
the journals they permit to he read in
the family circle are of the class that
never forget the proprioties OF life.
Already men and women of refinement
and healthy morals have had their at
tentiou called to the pernicious influence
of bad literature and have made com
mendable efforts 20 counteract the same
by causing sound literature to be pub.
lished and sold at popular prices. These
efforts are working a silent but sure
revolution. The best authors are more
generally read TO day than at any pre-
yious time. The sickly sentimental
story paper, and wild ranger and pirate
book are slowly yielding the field to
worthier claimants. To the praise of
the decent newspaper it may be said
that where it has place in the family
and has been read for years, it has de-
veloped such healthy tone and such a
discriminating taste, that the literature
of the slums has no admirers. Forum
ately, the number Of such families is in
creasing in the land, aud as they in
crease, the Journal that devotes itGelf to
sickening revelations Of immortality will
be compelled to find its supporters solely
among those classes that practice vice or
crime, or are ambitious to learn to follow
such ways.

A Phenomenal Year.
Kansns Cliv Tlmes

h"A7N7 Wy linus
In climatic way, this year has been
phenomenal one. In cold and heat; in
rains or floods, and drought, we have
passed through an experience both start
ling and novel. The whole country, no
one portion of it, has shared in the ex-
perience of these phenomenal visitations.
Heretofore, it has been our experience
that if one section of country was visited
by flood and rains, and the crops be
blighted, that another portion would be
spared the visitation to even up in the
crops raised the loss caused by disaster
elswhere. If cold or heat prevailed in
one portion Of our country to the de-
struction of agricultural industry, it had
its compensation in some other section
by an unusual yield.
In fact, heretofore, so varied has been
the climate influences and meteorologi-
cal conditions over this vast country,
that loss in one quarter was repaired by
plenty in another. II has been the be-
lief that no one unfavorable condition
could effect the whole country, and we
had become settled in the assumption by
long years of experience, that when
crops failed in one place they We're sup.
piled by yield in another section of
our great country. But this years ex-
perience has gone far toward unsottling
our former conviction. We have had
the same natural conditions from ex-
treme cold to heat, from rain to drought
presented all over this country this
year.
During last winter travel was block
AIDED all throughout the north and mid
die st ites, and the west by unprecedent-
ed falls Of snow. In the south an un.
heard of cold settled down upon that re-
gion, and snow fell where it was never
heard of before. The foods and rains of
the spring were not confined to the west
alone, but cotton lands in the South were
overflowed, and great freshets destroyed
farms and property in the east
The drought, from which We have Just
escaped, has not been confined to the
corn region alone, but from June to Sep
tember less amount of rain fell all over
the west, northwest, and middle states
and the east, than has been known with.
in generation. The loss in the corn
crop yield in the west is known to us,
and in the other states the damage has
been as serious, not only in the loss on

dependent upon the rain for yield.
The drought has extended over so great
an area that the whole country feels it,
not alone in the loss of the bountiful and
necessary products of the west. but in
the damage and loss to vegetables gar
den truck, fruits, etc, of the east; pastur-
age all over the country, and, in many
instances, even whole communities have
been threatened with water famine.
All in all, this year with its cold, its
rains and floods, its neat and drought
has been an unexceptional one, and the
loss il has entailed, though silent one,
has embraced the greater portion Of our
country. The result we apprehend will
he TO make the cost of living dearer, and
we are none too soon in cautioning the
people to begin the curtailment of ex-
penscs in luxuries, so as to buy the nee
essaries at the increased price sure to he
