Notes by the WAY,

NORTH of Manti twelve miles is the
town Of Msnassah, suburban retreat
mostly occupied by sheep. 1t is nearly
opposite Ephraim and contains little
farming land and good place to move
| from.
WALES is few miles north and is q
pretty thrifty place. AS its name in
dictates it is mostly settled by people
from Wales. 1t is noted for its coal
mines.
FEUDoM comes vt and is mostly
settled by M. ia or & Sons; is
principally farmiL- and grazing dis
trict.
FOUNTAIN GREEN, ten miles north of
Wales, contains about 900 inhabitants,
has several stores, grist mill, etc. The
people there are mostly Scandinavians.
The land is excellent, but water is
rather limited for the size of the place.
MoRoNI, eight miles east of Fountain
Green, is a real live town; has a thriv
ing Coop. store, grist mill (roller), two
empty saloons to let, two hotels run by
Jos. Jolly and ]. W. Irons, one lime
kiln, etc.
CHESTER is four miles south of Mo
roni and contains large amount of ex-
cellent land, but not suffi clent water to
give it the boom it deserves. Some of
its enterprising men are boring wells.
EPHRA1M, seven miles from Manti and
twelve south from Chester, contains
over two thousand inhabitants, mostly
ScandinaVIans, and is model city. 1t
has two Coop. stores; also ]. r. Null
strup's and A. Fl. Lund's stores, one
empty saloon, with the usual amount
of blacksmith, wagon and furniture
shops. 1t is the proposed site of the
Sanpete Academy, being centrally 10
Gated. The houses, as in nearly all of
Sanpete towns, are mostly built of
white eolitic limestone, which has q
very pleasant appearance. 1t has two
grist mills; also one or two saw mills in
the canyon.
TWELVE miles north and one or two
east, is Spring City, the second oldest
place in Sanpete. 1t was first settled by
Father James Alfred and relatives, and
mostly populated by the same; has
several stores, and one hotel, run by
Mr.. Hyde; has just enough water to
quarrel about, and not enough for gen.
eral irrigating purposes; is a well built
and thriving place.
Mt. PLEASANT, six miles north, con-
tains population of twenty-five or
three hundred; is well built, with some
of the finest residences in Sanpete
County has a large Co opD
store, with smaller branch stores,
besides one or two hotels, and
several lesser stores, furniture shop, one

PaysOn Points.

PAYsoN will fairly eclipse the capital
city of Utah County in the way of q
Fourth of July celebration.
THE best race track in the county is
ir Payson, and the races, free for all
Utah County, will be one of the in
tereStlng features on the programme for
the Fourth.
THE scarcity of water for irrigation
threatens TO be more serious than in
Provo, and though it will be necessary
for the farmers to economic, none ex-
pect to suffer any material loss on &C.
count of the drouth,
w. H. HUIsH & Sons, the home made
furniture manufacturers, are doing a
good cuisines, and proving to the
people of Payson that nome manufac-
tured furniture is the best. They EN-.
ploy from ten to fifteen men aud have a
steam engine to run their machinery
when the water power fails.
THE farmers in PaysoD, seem to be
making a speciality of potatoes, and
some fields of the tubers along the rail-
read are large enough to supply the
entire county. The potato crop has
become so important that the Utah
Central has built O switch on Mr..
George Patterns farm for the convent
ence of loading the potatoes in the field
where raised.
PAYsoN is being built up more this
summer than heretofore and some fine
buildings are in course of erection.
The new store just completed for MIR.
John d. Stark, on the corner west from
w. h. Hush & Sons furniture store,
is a handsome structure, though not
large. The large building owned by
William Wightman is nearing compile
ton, and many other improvements
here, this summer, indicate that
Payson is enjoying an unusual degree
of prosperity. B.

log houses. The reason they use logs
is, l suppose, that they have ridge of
oolite stone extending most of the way
right against their farms, which hardly
needs quarrying in places. 1t is one of
the prettiest places in Sanpete, but it
lacks a postoffice, and consequently
they have to go from one to seven miles
for their mail.
If The D. & r. G. fully understood the
resources of Sanpete County, they
would, no doubt, build branch road
from Thistle Station. In the first place,
there would be vast amount Of stone,
lumber, salt, coal, vegetables of all
kinds and two or three hundred
thousand bushels of grain a year,
besides gypsum, and would take in the
asphalt mines. The grade would be
gradual and the ties could be had very
cheap, from the mountains close to the
road. There would be raised in this
county from two to three hundred
thousand bushels of potatoes annually,
if there was market for them. The
farmers say they would rather raise
potatoes for 25 to Soc. a bushel than to
raise wheat at the present prices, SO to
Soc. But potatoes could be raised on
summer fallowed land which now bring
no return, and they, the farmers
would be that much ahead. There is
at present no outlet except through
Nephi, for products, and when bulky
freight has to be transferred from
narrow to broad gauge, it makes it
come high. The wool alone would be a
large item, as 1T would naturally all go
east on the nearest road. We don't
want boom. All we ask is fair
chance and we can boom ourselves.

tons were not as deep as those of the
person who penned that article. l con-
| tend that the chief reason of our not
being able to have the dignity of State
hood conferred On US is on account of
these self-same Americans who are
constantly stirring up strife, creating
mountains out of mole hills, and op-
posing our every move to obtain the
boon they were regretting (for the first
tlme) we do not have here.
There are enough genuine Americans
here, and many of them MormOns, too,
who have the most sincere reverence for
American institutions, to run State
government that any of our nEighbor-
Ing States would envy. A Territory of
100000 inhabitants with the intelligence,
energy and morality manifest en- every
side, IS standing disgrace. If you, who
style yourselves American" would
be Americans long enough to join US
IN united effort to gain Statehood, in
stead OF sitting there and saying sit is
right as it is, there is no hep for it,
we can do nothing" we would gain the
day and the bonds of infancy be re-
moved. 1t seems to me some
what ridiculous to call your
selves y Americans" and show no
more American II dependence than to
sit and do nothing toward helping.
You close with an appeal to Young
Utah" TO break the "Vassalage," asking
how long we will be content for it to re-
main. 1 will choose to think by the
term "vassalage" you mean our politi-
cal condition, and answer for one that
We are not content; that we have
worked for our rights, and do not sit
down and deplore our fate and wish
or expect the government to express
Ihe robes of Statehood to US, charges
prepaid. We have striVen to break the
Vassalage. and what have you done in
the meantime?
You have tried to tear down all we
have done; you have worked dead
againstus You claim it is our fathers
and their rulings that you are opposed
to-, but you know better. You were
afraid we would prove the majority
and would not include you in our polit
ical position and elective Offices; so, in
stead of being true Americans and join
ing in getting Statehood rights, you
skirmish up all the old stories of gener-
atoms, bsckpiIing these in with
trumped-up clarges of alleged dlsloy-
atty, and send the impression
of political discomfort here that would
well make our revered government
think it would have disastrous effect
to give US Statehood.
I'm pleased to see the people of your
contemporary ara commencing to feel
the oppression of Territorial bondage,
but hat to see them apologizing for it
and explaining that a fat old woman
sitting on a mans best hat, whether by
accident or design is Just as disastrous,
when by careful management the hat
could be removed, 20 Instead OF accept
ing it "a inevitable. go to work to

DALLAS, August 14.-The democratic
state convention met at 1915 to-day in
the mechanics hall of the exposition
buildings at the fair grounds. There
were fully 1,200 people within the hall
which was gorgeously decorated with
flags, streamers and other ornaments
The crowd had been conveyed to the
grounds by the steam cars chartered for
the purpose by the Dallas democratic
club, and without expense, going and
coming, to the delegates. There were a
few ladies upon the platform.
The convention was called to order by
Ccionel Henry Exall, OF Dallas, chairman
of the state democratic executive commit
tee. Nominations being declared in order
for temporary chairman, l.. O. Alexander,
of Waco, nominated ex-Speaker George
@. Pendleton, of Bell county, and A. L..
Matlock nominated Hon. Thos. M. Bon
ner, of Smith county. The roll was called
by the chief clerk, Will Lambert, and the
vote taken by counties resulted: for
Thomas M. Bonner 348 votes; for Geo. @.
Pendleton, 1896 votes. IL was evident all
through the cOunt that there was square
issue on the prohibition question, Judge
Bonner being the candidate of the pros.
The ants had the hurrah, but
the pros got in their work bet
ter than expected. When Limestone
county was called the spokesman for
that delegation declared that Limestone
was right (some thought he said rattled)
on the prohibition question, and imme-
diately the ants raised an uproar, with
cries of "Sit down" "Put him outr' etc
Order was shortly restored and the count
proceeded. After the vote of Limestone
was declared for Bonner, Bexar county
went Ii for Bonner and Travis "a fol
Bonner and 81 for Pendleton. Music
aud hurrahs followed the announcement
OF the result. One effect and possibly in
may be to put Mr.. Pendleton forward fo
acknowledgement. Judge Bonner wa
requested to introduce Mr.. Pendle.
ton, and he did SO in brie
but complimentary terms. Mr.. Pendletoi
spoke more at length, thanking the con.
vention for the honor conferred upoi
him in electing him to such an honorable
position, and especially in opposition h
such distinguished gentleman as Judg,
Bonner.
Will Lambert was. elected chief clerk
and Messrs. Childs, Kaufman and Sterret
assistants. Messrs. Joe w. Robertson ant
Stephens j. Blount, Texas veterans, wer'
invited to seats on the platform; also, ex
Gov. j. W. ThrockmOrton. The usua
committees on credentials, representation
and resolutions we're appointed, and the
convention adjourned till half past
O'Clock To morrow morning to await re-
ports of committees.
