A NUMBER of our citizens were heard
Yesterday, discussing the Paul-Thomp
son contraveTsy-tariff or no tariff on
wool. There seems to be quite differ
ence of opinion as 10 who had the best
of the argument; all agreeing. however,
| that Professor Paul was the better
grammarian, but that Mr.. Thompson
knew the most about sheep, though he
NAV not have read the classics, or
many works on political economy,
he had what was better-a practical
knowledge of every day affairs. and
had lost nothing in his controversy
with the learned professor.
THE MERCHANTS UNION have petioned
the Utah Central Railroad Company to
lay a branch from their depot, one and
one-fourth miles west of town, up TO
the lower street. A portion of the year
| the road to the Utah Central depot Is
almost impossible, rendering it very
| announcement for business men and
others who desire to ship or ride over
the broad guage. The Utah Central
officials have decided TO grant the re
quest, provided our people will furnish
right of way and depot grounds, which
our people will undoubtedly do, and be-
| fore long, the "big iron boss" WILL be
awakening the echoes in Rock Canyon,
from our lower street.
WE HAVE quite a number engaged In
the production of honey, Mr.. Q. b.
Huntington, Amos Warren and others.
Mr.. Huntingtons bees produced some
two tons of honey the past season.
which he has long since disposed OF at
good, prices. Our honey men have
been unable to fill the orders sent IN
from outside; nearly all being disposed
of to local consumers. One order was
received from Colorado parties for a
carload of strained honey in five gal
lon cans" Our honey is made princl-
| pally from the red clover and alfalfa
blossoms of which there are thousands
of acres in this vicinity during the sea
son. Verify, SpringVills is a land OF
,, milk and honey"
THE OTHER day a gentleman was
reading the new Provo directory, de-
scribing the resources. attractions, etc.;
of the "Garden City" to his wife and
little ones gathered around the evening
lamp. The children were listening
breathlessly to the description of the
notable buildings and great men who
had made themselves, when suddenly
little 4-year-old, who has, evidently, q
theological turn of mind, exclaimed
"Pa, does God live in Provo?" The
book was laid aside for the evening, anG
the question referred to special COM
mittee on Interrogation. ID.
