THE E. T. WILLIAMS KILLING.
Denounced by the Citizens of Soda
Springs.

SODA SPRINGS. Bingham Co., Idaho,
May 4th, 1885.
Pursuant to call, the citizens met at
the Schoolhouse, when w. w. Sterrett
was called to the chair, and Mr.. Hotch-
kish was chosen secretary. The chair
man then stated that the object of the
meeting was to correct statements made
and published in relation to the killing
of E. T. Williams by son OF James w.
Baker, of this place, also to correct a
rumor going the rounds that the people
intended to lynch the murderers; all of
which is false. He also read an article
in the Bellevue Chronicle, of April Both.
1t was moved by Mr.. Eastman, that a
committee of three be appointed to
draft resolutions, to be signed by the
people for the press.
Moved that Messrs. Horsley, Ander-
son and Rose be said committee.
Carried.
The committee returned and presented
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, without amend
ment
Resolred, That we, the undersigned,
citizens of Soda Springs, in mass meet
ing assembled, do hereby declare that a
most foul and uncalled for murder has
been committed in the killing of E. T.
Williams. of this place, ON the 2Sth day
of April, 1885, according to the evidence
before coroner's jury. And we hereby
wish to correct statement published
in the Bellevue Chronicle, of April Both,
in regard to the same. And also wish
to state that Mr.. E. T. Williams has al
ways been an energetic and in
dustrious citizen, and always foremost
in all public and private enter
prises. And we sincerely condole
with his family in their sad bereavement
and hope that justice will be melted out
to the guilty parties. And we further
wish 20 refute the statement in circula-
tion that the perpetrators of the foul
deed would have been lynched had they
renamed at Soda Springs for an eXami-
nation All that the citizens of this
place ask is that the law be enforced
and the guilty parties punished.

Threw himself out of a window.

A merchant, overcome by nervous
prostration, recently became so wild and
delirious that he jumped from third
story window of his house and was
fatally injured on the pavement. Had
this unfortunate gentleman taken
Browns Iron Bitters in time, his life
might have been preserved. This potent
tonic enriches the blood. tones the
nerves, and imparts energy to failing
constitutions. Mrs. Phoebe A. White,
Alaska, Mich, says, Browns Iron Bit
tiers cured me of dyspepsia, poor
appetite, and nervous prostration.

lures. Tested by the present demands of the
people there is overproduction, and some
economists paint dismal picture of the fu-
ture when there will be plenty of everything
but employment, because all that the world
needs or can use will be produced by the Ia
Dor of one-haf or one-third of the people
who have no means of support except their
labor. The machines and inventions which
so increase production will, of course, never
be discarded, but, on the contrary, they will
be farther improved and their capacity in
creased and SO chronic oyerproduction
seems to be inevitable. But, though the
facts are certain, the inference is false. The
to grow with the means of gratifying them.
Sometimes one or the other seems to move
more swiftly, but on the whole they advance
with even pace. If all present wants are
gratified and there is still surplus of pro-
ducing power new wants will be discovered.
Machines and railroads added to the need of
iron and armored ships and forts added still
more. Many thousands of men are en-
ployed in the arts to which the practical uses
of electricity have given rise, which were
unknown generation ago. New discoveries
will create new wants, and these in their
time will originate new arts and new employ
ments. The progress of science and inven-
tion, which has transformed the world with
in the last century, and changed all the hab-
it's and conditions of civilized life, will not
stop with our day, but will more probably
proceed with accelerated force. It not only
enables us to make more cheaply and abun-
dainty what was made before, but by in
creasing the number of useful and desirable
things within mems knowledge, creates a de-
mand for them which must be supplied. The
resources of nature are exhaustless, and man
will never cease to find, in discovering and
making use of them, ample employment for
all his energies.

Hard Times.


Hard times stimulate students of finance
and of social science to discover their causes
and suggest remedies. One set of theorists
says that the real cause is overproduction,
another maintains that it is under consump-
ton, another that the root of the difficulty
is in the constant tendency toward increased
extravaganza, that people spend more in ' at
rious ways than formerly, are less prudtn
and frugal in their habits, and SO have no
depression There is some truth in each of
these theories. One who would keep out of
pecuniary troubles must live within his
means. If he exceeds them or lives up to
the limit trouble must come sooner or later.
Nothing but frugality and foresight will ena-
BILE the individual to go through hard times
without being pinched, and even those vir-
tues will not always save him. But the
causes of hard times beyond the reach of
those who suffer most from them. Hard
times are no harder now than in former days,
nor do they recur oftener. 1t is true that
people of ell conditions spend more and live
ON more liberal scale than people in cor
responding social grades did one OF two gen.
erations ago Many things which were then
luxuries are now regarded as ordinary COM
forts, or even as necessities, and many things
which persons of moderate means now think
indispensable could not then be had at any
cost 1t would be impossible, of course, to
chimes the supply increased and the cost be-
came less, the demand grew and the supply
could scarcely keep pace with it. Now for
the time the mills can make more cotton
goods than the world is willing to use, the
business of manufacturing is depressed and
working people cannot find employment

THE GRAND CANON.
Six thousand Feet from the Light of
EhaV


What words are to be used, unaided by
pencil and brush, when one seeks to describe
what the canon of the Colorado river really
is? Its magnitude, its solennity, the awful
depth, the rushing waters, the towering cliffs,
all speak to us, but we cannot speak of them.
Man is dwarfed by nature, abashed by her
grandeur, silenced by the exhibition of her
powers Imagine the scene. A yellowhued
stream, rushing like gush of angered wind
along a rock-strewn bed and between a line
of dark-hued cliffs. Look upward thou
sand feet, and rocks look angrily down; gaze
up another thousand feet, another, and still
another and there are the same dark-browed
monsters glaring down upon you and upon
the river. Look up again, and now gaze for
5000 feet into the air toward the heavens,
and you can still see rough edged rocks, all
outlined against the sky, over mile in
height away, throwing up pinnacles and
towers and domes and isolated peaks, chip
ped and SCARED, and dark, massive and IL
regular. The light of day is dimmed, the
place is full of loud, hoarse roars the air is
chilled, and the river, lashed into foaming
fury, leaps madly along its course. Here are
shadows that Rembrandt would have gloried
in; here. Dora might have copied nature and
added to his fame. Here is the road to
Dante's sombre halls. One stands within the
very bowels of the earth, with all light and
brightness lost to view. He sees the work of
ages, the result of mighty power. The
earth is clsft in twain; it is though a
mountain, tall and strong, had been halved
by some sharpened sword. Six thousand
feet of stony depth! There pleasant
smiles nature to be seen. No flowers
grow, no shrubs appear, no birds are visible.
Dark are the towering walls, and darker still
their shadows, while the towers take on most
uncouth shapes, and the river out of
blaokness to us and into darkness from us,
:. puny monster in comparison with it's
prison. wayward child held in stern re-
buke.
From the tops of the cliffs which form the
Colorado's canon the rivet winding at their
base is like strand of gold. But it needs
strong nerve to look into the depths below.
Drop stone and the splash it would make
Upon the water could not be seen. Even the
noise the river makes is not audible and the
4treuIn seems to flow noiselessly along its
lark and rugged course. Turning from gaze
into the canon, and looking about the
country, the deep rent is seen stretching far
.lway to the east and west, while in the dis
lance are tall trees and rocks and bare brown
hills. One questions why the canon was
made and how-whether worn by the river
or formed by volcanic action But whatever
the cutse, it is strange freak of nature
rivallipg, with its grandeurs, all other sights,
inviting comparison but challenging compe-
tition. ALI other canons Of the wild South
west, where rivers delight to wind III dark
ened places, sink into insignifcance when
compared to this of the Rio Colorado.
