EDITOR TRIBUNE: I wish to in
form your readers that the persistent
misrepresentation of this part of the
country comes from q portion OF our
own Inhabitants who are like the ia
nous shepherds dog in the manager.
This element of our population evil
IDENTIFY came to this country under the
impression that it was q vertiable
Eldorado where they could find mug
gets of gold without labor, but when
they found out that work was neces-
sary their dissatisfaction commenced,
and some of them abandoned their
rich lands and set off on another wild
goose chase while the more indolent
remained to fill the air with their
complaints. would like To know
how much better offthe emigrants are
to-day than they would have teen If
they had remained. Iknow positively
indeed, that they are much worae off
and they have not money enough to
Ieave their present locations to come
back. And how much better off are
the grumblers for their complaints
Nothing at all and yet they succeed in
injuring the country by exaggerating
every little i'll before strangers who
cannot understand how any people
can uselessly detract from the country
where they have made their homes.
l know of many parties who have
come to Stevens county with view
to purchase lands and have left in disc
gust on these indictments, who would
kick If they owned a quarter section
in the Garden of Eden. Now, I hope
these individuals will cease giving
vent to their dissatisfaction, and try
the effect of kind words upon the
destinies of this new country, and I
am sure they will benefit themsel. es
as well as the country, which con-
slider equal to any in'the entire co GUN.

WAsHINGroS. March % -Among the ia
miliar faces that come to the surface here in
this time of general resurrection Is that of
George Q. Cannon, former delegate from
Utah, Mormon elder, etc. He has been here
most of the time since the Inauguration.

say. 'Private business is the alleged cause
Of his long trip from his mountain encircled

members of Congress would lead lives half as

there would be many less scandals and much
less Of reproach regarding lives Of Congress.
men in general. In all the long years that Mr..
Cannon was here, and in NEST cases he came
quite alone, and, not accompanied by any
member of his numerous family, there never
was heard any attack on his habits while

that others who have made careful inquiry

extent those who had hoped for q change ia

understood TO be the head Of q pretty large
family, having four wives, the fifth having
died some time since. Whether he has fol-
lowed the proiessed course OF some Others OF
the leaders in putting away all but one of
their wives is not known. The head OF the

So that would make Q 200. Then there are

1t is cheaper in raising meat to
keep your hogs up all the time,
provided they are fed we'll. Sup
pose you try it. Take a litter of
six pigs, let three of them run out
and keep three of them confined
in a lot and feed them all the time
just what they will eat. Keep an
itemized account of all you feed
them. At the end of the year
compare the pork of those kept up
with those that run out, and after
deducting the cost of feed you
will find that it has paid you at
least fifty per cent to keep your
hogs up and feed them. This
would seem to be argument, too,
in favor of a stock law, but we do
not so intend it.
Whlle the lshlng party was go

they came across an old rooster in
the road. One of the party thought
he would practice with his pistol a
little, and used the rooster for a
target. The first shot caused that
rooster to depart this life and go
to where the good roosters go,
Proceeding on up the road they
came across the owner of the roos-
ter, an old negro woman, who had
been watching the whole proceed
ings Now it was her time to pro-
ceed, which she did. She gave
the boys good large hunk of her
mind about killing her rooster.
The fishermen then proceeded on
their way to worry the fnny tribe
and with determination never to
bother another rooster.
