In the possession of fine water sys-

cities; and whatrenders it all the better
Tor the people, it is owned by the city
itself. The Improvements recently
made at cost of about $40, 900, have
given water to the northeastern part
OF the city, portion hitherto without
it. so that, practically, the whole city
may be supplied from the mains. The
system being operated purely by
gravity, is the fact that renders it so
simple and effective. The total length
of the luains is about twenty miles, and
the following-sized pipes are used as
occasion requires: 80, "a, 20, Is, IL, 10.
8, 6, 4 and 3 inch. There are 100 fire
MIGRANTS, about 80 water gates, 1000
service pipes, and the yearly income is
about $4,000 The entire system has
cost about half a million.

FOR THE FARM HOME .

THE cure for hard mixers is a warm
place in which to milk, and dish of
warm water held so as to immerse the
cows teats for a moment before milk
ing.
YOUNG trees, set out three years ago
are likely to need only such pruning as
can be done with q knife. Our best
nurserymen trim their stock of young
trees at any time during the winter,
when vegetation is at rest. Vines and
shrubs may be planted at any time
when the ground is not frozen.
A FOWL that is constantly stuffed soon
becomes dlsordered and deficient in di-
gestion, thus wasting the excess of food.
Exercise is the best antidote for over
fed birds. Reduce the allowance, and
compel them to work. Industry means
a production of eggs, and the fowls will
also keep healthy by having something
to 40.
A SUCCESSFUL farmer, who had for
merly failed in raising wheat. found
after making the ground as mellow as
an ash-heap before sowing, that one
dollar of extra work to the acre added
from five to ten bushels to the crop
and he regularly obtained an average
of thirty bushels, where the crop pre-
viously did not pay for the work.
THE productiveness of the vineyard
can be greatly increased by the use OF
chemical fertilizers, which supply all
the requirements. Stable manures
often cause excessive growth of wood
without corresponding production Of
fruit, while mildew and rust are not SO
prevalent where artificial fertilizers are
used as with stable manure.
IT is better to plant sweet corn in rows
rather than in hills, and if the plants
are thiuned to about eight inches apart,
the yield of the rows will be larger than
can be obtained from hills. By success
sive planting every two weeks, from
May 10Th to July LIST, continuous sup
ply may be had. At least eight
rows should be devoted to sweet corn
THE best method of protecting roses
from insects is to keep them in vigorous
growth by planting in we'll drained
irenched soil, and giving annual dress
ings of rotted manure in the fall, with
frequent applications of liquid manure
in May and June. Lay them down and
cover with evergreens as winter APP
proaches, shading without attempting
to keen them warm.

pure air, and the cool invigorating
nights enable patients to withstand the

energy to begin another day prepared

The people of Utah-to the manor born.
are as robust and long-Iived as any in

of excels Salt Lake City in the matter
of natural advantages for the physical
well-being of its citizens. From ocean
to ocean no city that we are aware of
has been dealt with more kindly by
Nature. We have great inland sea
rolling at our feet, possessing inherent
virtues in its waters essentially tonic
ard invigorating to the general system.
We have thermal springs in the suburbs
of varying degrees of temperature and
of varied properties. We have the sun

thrive upon it. 1t is an old Dutch

to be gained from that part of the
valley render these jaunts doubly en-
joyable.
Besides these various attractions, Salt
Lake has two race courses, two thea
aires. which are among the best in the
country, and other places of amuse-
ment, reading rooms, libraries, etc.,
where many an idle hour may be spent
with pleasure and some degree Of
profit.
1t is common saying that death
and taxes" come along with relentless
precision. We believe that the former
can be STAYED off aslong here as at any
other place, and as to tbs latter, they
are made as light as the public demands
will admit. We also claim that the rate of
of taxation in Salt Lake is lower than in
other city of its size and importance in
the United States. The rate of the
city tax is mills on 81. The
assessed value is somewhat over SILL
600, 600, and the rate of valuation of
on an average about so per cent. of its
real value, so that the real city tax is
not more than 2H mills on 81, which is
extremely low. The county and Terri
torial taxes amount to II mills on 81,
which includes the Territorial school
tax. The ratio of assessed value is in
tended to be go per cent. of the cash
value, but the fact Is that it is seldom
more than so per cent. Thus it will be
seen that that the normal entire tax on
Salt Lake property is not more than 8
mills on 81 for its actual cash value; q
tax which might be increased several
field and still not be excessive.
BUsINEsS.
Of the various sorts of business car
ried on in this city, we need say but lit
tie. Suffice it to say that Salt Lake has
large and varied industries, and being a
depot for this and other Territories she
has an extensive trade. Her merchants
are active and enterprising. and there is
a spirit among them to push the in
terests of the city. An idea of the de-
mands of trade. ETC., will be cleaned
from the fact that there are 425 tele-
phones in active use in this city, and
400 miles of wire stretched. This is by
far the largest average of wires to the
population, of any city in the United
States.
BUILDINGS.
During the past year over a million
dollars has been expended in the ereo-
ion of buildings in this city,
md there is sufficient to show
hat the people are doing con-
Iiderable in the line of improvement,
md. judging from the projections for
his wear that have been already laid
,ut, and the generally hopeful and pro-
,ressive feeling among all classes, the |
operations bid fair to exceed
~ far those of former years, and We are
auguine in affirming that Salt Lake |
lily has entered upon a remarkable |
,eriod of development, upon that high |
Iestiny for which Nature has so pc
uliarly and fittingly designed her.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

A Newspaper Reporter Finds the hur-
d.r.r ~ Elliott, the Tax Collector, at
Bangor, Maine.
B.NaoR. Me. July 3l.-On the night Of
February 5. 1879, William B. Elliott, . re-
spected citizen and ex-tax collector of the
town of Glenburn, was brutally murdered.
He was found dying in the snow by the
roadside about mile from City Hall. An
AK lad been used TO strike the blow, but
no clew to the murderer could be found.
Years passed and the mystery remained
unsolved. The only clew to the perpetrator
was the story OF the wstchman at the depot
who said that on the night OF the murder
a man, who he could only imperfectly de-
scribe, drove q sled hurriedly up to the
station and asked the watchman to keep an
eve ON the horses. The man did not come
back. and it WAS found that the blanket
was covered with blood as were some meal
bags in the sled. The identity of the man
could not be established, and it was sup
posed that he had escaped by train.
Recently the Boston Globe sent one OF
its staff TO investigate the case and through
him the murderer has been discovered in
the person of Samuel Haynes, who is now
serving a life sentence for murder at Thorn
aston. II appears that few days after the
murder of Mr. Elliott, Lyon, a saloonkeep-
er, told a friend under promise that be
would not reveal the secret during his
uyons') life, that be was positive that
HAYNES had committed the murder, stst-
ing that Elliott had come into his saloon
on that fatal evening and taken a drink be-
fore driving home on his sled. Haynes
who was in the saloon at the time, noticed
the old gentleman has he took out his pock-
etbook. which had the appearance of be-
inc uall filed although IL in reality con-
