THE MERCHANTS COMPLAIN that bust
ness Is very quiet since the holidays.
A LEAP year party is to be held nnv
FRIDAY evening, aud the male poruIOI
OF the community are therefore on Gnell
good behavior.
IT IS not fact that we are to have
another postotfice it is only to be q

in Spanish Fork meant all that drug
stores do in Provo.
THE Co-oP has ceased TO Issue scrip

coupons instead. This action Is evi
DENLY TO put ii stop co the speculation

Of circulation.
THE PLEASANT weather cf the past
few DAYS has cleared our streets, and
sent the farmers off to tnei- fields. We
may now expect a respite from the
chickering's aud aninositles that go
rampant upon our streets during tn
long winter months. The all-absorb-
ing water question is most hercely
tough at that season of the year, when
none OF the aqueous f i'd is needed.
A SHORT time ago there was seen at
one of our mills-and by the way an Or
binary stone crusher-a large quantity
vi flour in new sacks with fiashy brands
of the following import: high patent
flour. This flour is mace by a new
pat, LIT pr. s. by which all The gluti-
nous and nutritious substances are re-
tilned. 1t Is warranted to make
beautiful "! lite wholesome bread. On

that this -four Was made by the same
process that he manufactured the COM

filled with ordinary -four and we are

1t dawned upon the people here
last week that Spanish Fork is
the pla e for the experimental
farm. fne land, DO h as to quality and
quantity, The abundant water supply,
the faculties for water power, the geo
graphical locality, were all thought to
ing meeting was at once held, where
something oyer 81 SO was subscribed as
an lnducement for the establish nent OF
the farm here. A large committee was
appointed 10 visit the contiguous settle
mentS and solicit rneir aid ; to receive
subscriptions, to get propositions from
land owners III The nelshbOIhOod OF the
site selected, for the sale of the land, to
prepare memorial to the Legislature
and to take IN band the general BUSH ess
of the move. The result of their labors
is satisfactory. Payson, Benj3m
Salem and Lake Shore have ali fallen
into line ard the subscriptions now
amount to about Sc 0L0. with more to
hear from. The site agreed upon is
commando one, about TWO miles from
here, on i. sloping plateau just south
of the river. A large canal carries a
stream of water to the very spot, aud
this may be turned with little expense
from the hill into the bottom Just be-
low, thereby giving ali immeI Sc
water power. Three or four 6if
ferent kinds of soils are found
W thin an area of miIe-tte
gravel bench land Immediately sur
the site, the Clay land stretch
ing of toward PaySon and Benjamin,
the heavy river bottom land on the
north, and the light loam ~ the west.
Water hight TO all this may be secured
and for miles and miles around there is
a vast extent of fine farming and past
ure land.
