On par with its other strenuous en-
deavors to enhance the vital interests of
the Territory, the Tribune is in the habit
of asserting that this is one OF the
filthiest cities in the world. As an ex-
ira indictment for settlers to locate in
the city with their families, it gives out
that little children are dying from dis
ease mere like sheep. A year or SO ago.
when an unusual number of tourists
were astir, as special advertisement in
favor of their including this city in-their
routes, it announced that nothing could
prevent the Asiatic cholera from leaping
across two continents and swooplng
down upon Salt Lake with the swift
ne IS of Sahara simeon. The facts are,
that much greater quantity Of rubbish
and filth of one sort and another has
emanated from the Office of our anti
Utah contemporary than can be found
on close inspection to exist elsewhere
within the corporate limits. For one /
have never taken any stock in these
overdrawn sensational stories of the
uncleanliness of this city, nor in the
touching and plaintive walls about the
number of little innocents that the i'm
pure air was silently waiting away
every year; and tie mortuary state
ments of the Sexton, published each
month, fully indorse and defend the
facts, which are patent to all-that Salt
Lake is an unusually healthful locality.

its wealth of shade. its acres of grass.
its myriads of flowers, its inyigorating
air, its moderate temperature, saying
nothing of its mineral springs, the Great
Salt Lake and a thousand other natural,
health-giving advantages, and we're to
make any inroads upon the lives of the
people accustomed to enjoy these ia

that there is notroom for improvement.

tionis being taken to keep this book out

AS other and unauthorized memoirs

- Elisha l.. Town died April -, of
sub-acute pleurisy, aged twenty-nine years,
six months and fifteen days. Mr.. Town
was regarded as an enterprising young man
and a Christian. He was generally esteemed
in the community, and was one of those who,
seemingly, could not well be spared. He
was dutifu son and a faithful and affec-
tionate husband and brother. Although he
had hopes of recovery almost or quite to the
last, yet he felt confident that it would be
well with him should it be otherwise, and
sometimes expressed to his wife his pref
erence to go if there were none to mourn
for him, feeling that there would be a sweet
rest. The loss falls heavily upon his de-
voted companion, with whom the little more
than three years of their married life had
been spent so pleasantly; and upon his
parents, as he was their only son, and the
one who was to live with and care for them
in their adv anced years, and also upon his
affectionate sisters. The family have the
sympathy of the community generally, and
the comforting thought that what is loss TO
them to him is gain. May the "G God of all
comfort" comfort them in their sorrow. C.
