! it?"
Il can only say that 1 never hear it
preached; that | have heard men
checked'tor preaching it, and that l do
not know of any case of pO-
lygamY occurring now, though there
may be; but feel the tendency among
many of the young is away from it,"
And why is this so?"
Because of contact with those who
revile it, and because of q growing desire
for pecuniary advantage among them.
| With the influx of such an element, the
weight of sentiment adverse to this
feature may be expected to grow more
pronounced, and l can see, as a Nor
mon that this, together with the silence
of the church on the subject, must tell in
the long run. st. Paul Tribune.
THE COMING FOURTH.
Arrangements for celebrating the
glorious Fourth are being rapidly COM
pleted, and owing to the generous man
ner in which the public has contributed
and the general interest taken in the
matt by all classes of citizens, there
is little doubt Tut that the coming cele-
| grafton will be the most successful ever
held here. The management OF it has
been placed in capable hands. The
committee on invitation have extended
cordial invitations to Ogden and Provo
to join with Salt Lake in the celebra-
ton, and it is hoped that they will &C
cept.
Colonel Blount, the commandment at
Fort Douglas, will detail the battery,
three companies of infantry and the
regimental band to take part in the
parade.
A NEW PROJECT.
A HERALD reporse Ter, while in search
of mental pabuIum, yesterday after
noon, wandered into the Office of st.
George, Young & Co.,-the Colorado
h adquarters-an there met D. J.
Ellsworth, Henry Apple, r. i Allen,
and NJ. K. Lewis, the latter gentleman
from Hastings, Nebraska, and the
ptner three from Denver. They were
sitting with their heads together deeply
engaged in one of the biggest schemes
that has been agitated in Salt Lake for
some time. These gentlemen propose
to move the Great Salt Lake TO this
city. This perhaps sounds rather large,
but nevertheless they will accomplish
the deed. On being Intercepted as to
the means by which this was to be &C
complished, they gave a synopsis of
their method which is about as
follows: A non-incrustlng pipe
will be laid from the lake to the
city, and after bringing the water here,
they will attach service pipes, as needed,
to every residence in the
city having bath, thus furnishing the
rare privilege of Il bath in the Salt La Re
al any hour or any season of the year.
They also propose to erect in the open
centre of some convenient block,
swimming and plunge bath 100 feet
square, the same TO be lined with white
J!!ing and supplied with warm water
10 winter. The Lake was visited yes
terday and some preliminary steps were
, ken toward pertecting tne arrange
ments. The greater portion of the
right Of way has already been offered
them, and the probabilities now are
hat few weeks more will see actual
work begun. 1t is proposed to use the
HOliey system of bringing the water
from the Lake-the system SO success
iullV operated in the city water-works
Of Denver.
These gentlemen represent half a
million dollars each and mean
5usiness They do not lack funds TO |
,lrry out their brilliant plans, but
stock company will probably be organ |
zed, in which event some of our citi- (
,ens, desiring an investment, will be- |
given a chance. The investment OF
n pi.al i'll Salt Lake is sure to yield rich |
.eturns, and more of this energy and |
is what is needed to make |
his the grand city which it is destined |
o be. By the way, these gentlemen
AVE already invested $4,000 in Salt |
lake realty, purchasing from st. George |
( Young, and they say they see every |
advantage here for making this the
argest city in the west.
