THE gathering of troops in Straw
berry Valley this month is the principal
topic of conversation hereabouts.
There are quite number of Heber peo-
pie who are preparing to go out to wit
ness the maneuvres and drills.
We had the pleasure Of meeting Hon.
K. c. Lund recently, an d we are quite
proud of one remark he made, for, as
one of the Board of Equalization, he
has seen good share of Utah lately.
He said: ''Heber City Is one of the
prettiest little towns I have seen for
some time; it is so c and whole
some, and there are sv~ any nice resi-
dences for town of its age"
In last Sundays HERALD Nym Grin
kle, of Mirror fame, writes one of the
best refutations OF some of Bob Inger-
soils cut and dried dogmas, that it has
been our pleasure to read. 1t sparkles
with well told truths and one brief
sentence is worthy of being framed: "If
you think you can abolish stul idity by
combating it, you are mistaken; life is
too short"
Our general Quarterly Conference
was held Saturday and SUNDAY last;
the meetings were most enjoy able, for
they were graced by our beloved Apos-
ties F. M. Lyman and J w Taylor,
and President s. B. Yonrg. Elder Rob-
ert Lindsay was another speaker who
was listened to with great inter est hav-
ing just retu cned from mission which
took him around The entire globe. Be
ing first ca'ei to Australia VIII re mis-
health soon gave way under that try
ing climate; he WIS then called TO
Scotland, b native place, and so on
his return hama this summer he COM
pl eted his tour around the world.
THERE has been some talk and much
excitement concerning the expected
visit of the baseball nine, the Salt
Lakes" They will be made welcome,
as we understand preparations are now
going forward looking to the ertertain-
ment Of the5 celebrities in the best pos
sible style. They are expected this week
and II is hoped they viii not fail, for
we have here a crack team which as
yet has never been downrd. The Park
City clubs have tried il any number Of
times, as we'll as many other t. cams, bat
our boys have al ways come Off with
flying cOlors. By the-by, the H"S@r
Club, mentioned above has not played
here yet this summer, so our notice Of
the ball game of the glorious Fourth,
does not apply to the "Heber Club.
THERE was started, some months ago,
an artesian we'll on the court house
premises. Work was carried on very
vigorously for G week or SO, and then,
for some Gauss best known to those in
charge, it was stopped. In the in
terests OF our thriving little town, we
should say that it was g most worthy
undertaking and very much regret that
it is yet uDCOmpleted. We should lie to
ask-WIth ali due respect to the parties
in ChaTge-Thy the work could not b.
completed now? There is nothing
which so much aids improvement in
& town as plentiful supply of water
f it could be demonstrated that this
precious fluid is 0btsinabIe By boring
100 feet or SO, what Sd immense
benefit it would &c to this place; it
seems but right that the county should
lead out IN this enterprise, especially
as the taxes will now be 40 and 50 per
cent. higher than ever before.
THE returns from tho election

Charleston has not sent in the Iis5 of
precinct officers The nomination CON-
mittee desired to see some new men,
but the figures given below fully demon
strate that the majority of the people
preferred to trust to the old-time
faVOrites.
