Pretty soon an animated discussion fol.
lowed, supposed to be on the merits
and superior qualifications of the res

disputants agreed to disagree.
DR.. Berg was out duck-hunting
with party of Salt Lake sports, this
week, and accidentally killed dog that
$50 could not have bought. Sidney and
DIR. Clawson were of the party. About

BY the way, why is it the managers
of the Utah Driving Park have not
sufficient enterprise to advertise in
paper that will bring them patronage?
From the more conservative OF the peo-
pie they will always draw the balance

the Peoples paper.
ONE of the incest little meeting houses
or chapels, in northern Utah is the che
now nearing completion at Willard.
There are two rooms, each 40x6O, and
double floor vestry. Great credit is
due Acting Bishop ]. L. Edwards, chair
man of the building committee, for the
activity and energy he has displayed
in the erection of this handsome and
much needed brick and stone edifice.
J. W. KERR has sold out his landed
interests to New York syndicate. One
of the conditions is said to be that wa
ter must be running IN that long
looked for and much.mooted Bear
River Canal within year from Il
time of signing the transfer. Brigham
City and Box Elder County have yet a
bright prospect before them. The en-
gineer says the dam is to be built in the
narrows, and will be $50 feet high.
The recent races in Salt Lake, if they
did nothing more, established this one
fact beyond a peradventure, that old
Kentucky Chief, as trOtiing progeni-
tor, producer and transmltter, is to the
whole Rocky Mountain region what
Blue Bell is to the East, the Mambrino
family to the West, Pilot Medium to the
North, and Kentucky Prince to the
South, what Electioneer is to the Pa
cifc Coast and what George Wilkes is
to the nation. We have a couple of
his get, and are proud of them.
JAKE and Willie Jensen returned from
Glenn's Ferrv, Idaho, to-day, and re-
port that their brothers body is still
undiscovered, although the net he was
supposed to be entar gled in was found
the third day of the search, two miles
below the scene of the drowning. Ex-
Sheriff Jensen, another brother, still re-
mains at the ferry in the hope of re-
covering the body. Here is an ex ract
from letter to his wife: with every
available means all day yesterday we
searched the gloomy and cruel river
for our dear brother, bat in vain. We
all try to renew our hope and faith for
the days work. but oh! there are so
many odds against Us. 1t seems we
can't get time TO eat or sleep we are so
anxious to find him. Hans was Ell her
cramped or was tangled in the net rope
and pulled under by his large rubber
boots, as the water is not more than
waist deep where ne went down, and
was seen no more. He disappeared
with both hands above his head and

Truly, l believe his time had come.
People here are very kind to US and

part here" Mrs. Valentine, the wife's
mother, seems to take the trouble
more to heart than any other
member of the two sorrow1ng
families, perhaps b; cause of bringing up
and reYiVing the sorrowful past. A few
years ago, Hans was engaged to and
about to marry Mrs. V.'s oldest daugh-

Bernice, but the mother still sorrowed

and thus the families are drawn to-

The advance courier of the Brigham
Springville Histrionic Aggregation is
hunting for a free ad. In to-day's
HERALD, it seems, and at our expense,
too. The item i'll Sundays issue was
given purely as a matter of local news,
and the facts are vouched for by the
band boys themselves. We would like
to ask the youthful forerunner of the
