going on.
SALIVA
is appropriately named; from the
mountains Of rock salt and salt
marshes in the neat vicinity one
could not consistently think ofnann-
ing it other wise. The geographical
position of Salins is well known,
being the nearest point in the coun>
ty to the Utah Central railway.
This place few years ago,
grew up like mushroom.
Everybody was ready to mako
his stake-a second Ogden junction
being looked fer-but the scorching
sun of disappointment and delay
soon stopped the rapid growth OF
the mushroom town of Saljna. The
renewed growth of the place is
anx iousiy hoped for. From the al
most innumerable signs that are
displayed about the town a person
would infer that an extensive bus
mess was, or had been, carried on.
Invariably the stranger is mistaken.
In reality those doing a mercantile
business are FREQ. e. Willee, Hum
phrey Bros, and the Salina Coop.
Curtise, Barnard and Humphrey
keep the necessaries for the traveller.
Trade is reported as picking up
slightly. In time the mountains
Of rock salt will prove tc be last
ing and profitable source of revenue.
TIE fine Towering mill recently
erected is q monument to the milling
industry and credit to its project
ore.
The small towns adjacent to Sa-
lima, are Gooseberry, Redmond and
Aurora, and the husbandman follows
his vocation With vigor, and in the
hopes OF good returns for his Iabors.
Since your correspondent "VaN

GLENWooD AND CENTRAL,
it is unnecessary to rehearse what
he has written; but let me add that
Glenwood is, without doubt, the
garden spot and the most charm.
ingly located town in the county.
MONROE,
is the next place that demands our
attention. Prior to 1870, little was
done In the way of settling this or
any other adjacent counties. Sub
to that date many substan-
tial improvements have been made,
and much has been done Indicating
that con siderable faith is placed in
the prosperity Of the town.
Many of the leading citizens were
badly Aeeced lately by certain
company of Marys7ale 60
bankruptcy, thus financially
embarrassing the creditors, who had
all confidence in the mining COM
pany. [ will refer to this matter
more fully in my next letter. The
attention of the people is mostly
occupied by farming and stockrais-
ing and other kindred industries.
For any article of merchandise
the consumer can be we'll supplied
Dy the Monroe Coop, the L. @. M.
{. of Monroe, Nickson Bros. and
Bros. S. SimonsOn and
e. Tuft each keep hotel and are
well patronized. The Monroe farms
are looking well and promise a
plentiful harvest. The Coop and

IS do also the Cosop of Elsmore. A. |
Bertelsen s. Son have excellent
milling facilities and make good
article of -four. Many acres OF bench
and heretofore valueless have lately
been traversed by irrigatipg canals,
;hus insuring good crops.
RICHFIELD
8 the largest and mist important |
place In Sevier County. It is the
county seat, and the only incorpor. |
.ted city in the county. Many I'M
have taken place during
he last decade, all of which show |
;he solid and rapid growth of the
sown. After short rest and lunch,
which by the way can be convent
emily found at w. G. Bakers or @.
Poulson's, a stroll through the now
beautiful Richfiela is in order. The

here, and speak we'll for the appar-
ent thrift of Richfeld. Besides all
this, the farmer and stock and sheep
raiser are busily engaged looking
after their interests, which appear TO
be thriving. One great convent

Chriatensen's photograph gallery,
Hansen & Flenbei's furniture store,
and j. K Wright's wagon and I'M

Coop, superintendent by William
Peterson q Co., and
VIM. Anderton, do an extensive
general merchandising business and
are prepared to meet all the de-
msnds of the trade. The schools
throughout the county
are reported as prosperous as ever.
