"Kanawa" for "Kanarra," a town

''lava felds' instead of "Clsra
fields" distinguishing the fields
along the Clara River from those
along the Virgin River. The most
serious error, however, and one 1
would like to have rectifed, is that
relating to the cost of the Tab
ernacle. Instead of costing
S4C0> 600, as stated, the outlay was
only One-fourth. or 100000, which
is quite 8 difference. Mind you, l
am willing to admit bad writing,
and should not be surprised, if, IN
correcting, meet the experience of
ye editor who wrote: "This is the
birthday of Louis PHILIPPE" 1t
came down in the proof: "This is
the birth day OF Sam Phillips"
Naturally wrathful at such q bal,
the editor eavagely dashed his pencil
through the offending paragraph
and wrote On the margin Of the
proof: "Who The hell is Sam Phil
lipe." You can imagine hi. delight
the following morn when he picked
up his paper and casting his eye
over his department., saw the clear,
cold, blooc -curdljng print, the fol,
lowing paragraph: This is the
birth day of Sam Phillips. Who the
he'll is Sam Phillips ?" In the teeth
OF such an experience, however, l
request an attempt at correction.
