BULLIONvILLE AND PANAcA DOTS

AL. Godbe and wife and Frank Godbe
arrived in Bullionville Monday afternoon.
The ranchers of Pahranagat valley,
with few exceptions, have got through |
planting their small grain.
A few years ago it was a rare thing |
for one of our young men to apply for |
work at Bullionville. Now the com.
panys foreman has to refuse q dozen |
such applicants every day.
Both of Dick Rich's children have been
down with sickness during the week,
but are now improving.
Mine host of the Bullionville hotel was
confined to his bed with sore leg sew
eral days during the week.
Is person that has two wives living
in Utah amenable to the laws Of Nevada
while sojourning therein? The RECORD
will please answer. No. Said person
has committed no crime against the laws
of this State.
Messrs. Millick and Eastmond arrived
in Bullonvile on Wednesday from Osce.
ola. Mr.. Millick came over to attend to
the shipping of half dozen concentrating
| tables that are to be put in operation in
| Milford, Utah, by Green Campbell, for
| the concentration of Star ores. The par.
ties say that the large ditch that is to
bring water to the placer ground at Osce-
ola will be completed by the 10th of
March.
Mr.. Russell has made quite an i'm.
provement on his teaching tubs by insert
ing a steam pump in the bottom of each
one something similar to those used un-
derneath the tender of locomotive.
| We have heard our elders say time and
again that they were not prejudiced
against any sect, party or creed, and
that they are always ready to hear both
sides of question. If this is so then
why is it that President McAlister, dur.
ing his late visit, scrutinized the mail
when it arrived at the postoffice, and
when any periodical outside of the
News" came to light took note of the
subscribers name? 1t is hardly neces
sary to say that the subscribers to the
RECORD in this village are doubly excom
municated, and that when Gabriel sounds
the final note on his big instrument they
will, as Bishop Terry informed hi
hearers on Sunday, ''go down, down
, down, he scarcely knew where"
If we judge from the eager manner il
, which our saints peruse each week.,
, edition of the RECORD they must lool
; upon it as al inspiration from on High
and we shall not be surprised should i
be inserted some day in our book of doc
trines and covenants. As it is at presen
) the young saints swear by it and tn
girls, bless their hearts, would not mis-
: it for the world.
Some of the Bullionville boys played
rather cruel joke on one of their love-sic
, companions during the week. Havin
come into possession of some fair one
= silken tresses, they enclosed them in
Il letter, purporting to come from one {
e ment that evening. The letter wa
It neatly gotten up, the signature being a
h exact counterfeit of that of the youn
. lady in question. When the youth RI
ceived the letter he was heard to draw
deep sigh and softly murmur, 81 though
ii so." What he thought that evening
lie he loitered for three long hours by Il
