Minneapolis Tribune: THE plan to
remove all the young prisoners from
the Sioux Fails penitentiary to the one
now being built at Bismarck, as soon
as the latter structure is completed, in
order to separate them from the hard
ened criminals, is q good one. More
criminals are made by The inaiscrimi-
nate mixture Of rev with old and
hardened offenders in state penltentia-
ries and prisons than iii any other way,
and it is false economy and careless and
lMproVident management OF the part
Of the state authorities to utilize one
institution for Two distinct classes.
when the result oil such association is
such as it has always been proven. If
q young person violates the law and is
imprisoned, his associates and sur
%roundings should lie OF IN Improving

cessity OF this separation of the old and

UTAH Valley.

UTAH NALbEN.
My dear friends, you viii find my
text in the first general epistle of Sin
ner to the Valley. Its found recorded
in Che HERALD of March the 9TH. AID.
1885. The writer here starts out very
bold but. [ am sorry to say, he takes
aim at a hawk and kills a dove, (poor.
harmless dove. The general plea in
Sinners letter is that he is trying to be
GOOD but SAYS the evil spirit has such q
hold on him that he sometimes goes
astray. He wants all to pray for him.
Friends, let US all turn out in mass
some night and give him lift. NOW
If Sinner has not done any naughty
things 1T seems there could be some
thing done for him, but OF course he
may be worse than we think for, for !!
am told OF q certain person that lent
him $1OOan took hi snote without any
security and when it came due told his
friend that he did not have to pay him,
and has not paid him yet. Do you
catch on? We do, in the Valley. Sim
1er talks of being run out Of the Val
ley by NJ. Now there is only one Mrs.
NJ. in the Valley (and as she is on the
list that makes our heaven on earth. 1t
cannot be ner.) We are puzzled to know
VINO M. is, but as Nj. SJatitS lCl tilOuSinu
we will take it for granted that is what
he means. / did not suppose there
were quite so many that thought so.
| have now spoken longer on this sub
,iect than ! intended to, but my friends,
let me exhort you to be up and doing;
let us do what we can for this poorsin-
ner before it is eyerlastingly too late,
for he says if he should conspire against
us he will not take the words of liars,
though they swear to it.

correct. The bird is aquatic, wading
