OBITUARY.

Esther Twigg, relict of the late George
Twigg, was born in Fishguard, Pembroke
shire, in 1901, aud died in Salt Lake City,
July 18th, 1888. She embraced the Gospel in
her native town, being one of the first
fruits of the same in the North Pembroke
shire conference, where she performed ey-
cry duty faithfully that devoIved upon her
as q Lstter-day Saint. Subsequently she
with her husband, moved to the South
Pembroke Conference, and settled in SUIT
ton, branch OF the Church, and here her
keen sense of duty manifested itself, her
house being the home of the Elders when
ever they came that way. Here she had the
misfortune to bury her husband, whose
faithful services will ever be cherished by
his co-laborers in the Lords vineyard. But
she continued faithful and with one daugh-
ter emigrated to Utah in 1868, where she led
an exemplary life and went down like
shock of wheat, ripe for the harvest Flu
neral services were held in the 18th Ward
Meeting house, where those of her immedi-
ate acquaintance spoke of her faithful
ness to the cause of God and her reliance in
the hope of glorious resurrection with the
just. She leaves 2 daughters, 7 grand
children, 9 great grandchildren, and host
of friends to mourn her loss.

A FEW INrERROGATORIES.
MI. j. B. Walden Wants Some VAL
liable Information.

Some time ago several members of the
chamber Of Commerce sent in petition
to the board of directors, asking for
statement of the receipts and expendi-
lures since the Chamber was organized,
Mr.. j. B. Walden, one of the petition
ers, was met yesterday, and in reply to
the query as to whether the state rent
had been made, said that it had not.
but that instead O surly, arrogant and
ungentlemanly letter had been received
from the secretary.
Il wish" said Mr. Walden, that
some one would answer the following
cODundrumS:"
How much money has the Salt Lake
Chamber OF Commerce received since it
started?
How much money has it expended
since it started?
What was il spent for2
Who authorized said expenditures?
Has the board Of directors eVermRde
a public statement.
II so, when, and where, and by whom
was il approved?
Is it reflection on anybody con-
nectet with the management of the
Cnamber, to be requested by fifteen of
its members to show to the public what
has been done?
If not, is it becoming il the secre-
taly to address a very offensive latter
20 said petitioners, accusing them of
ignorance, stupidity and qualification
What is the Chamber charged in a
case like that?
Is it the wish of the members that
the servant of the Chamber shall be-
come the Pooh bah of the whole busi-
ness?
Is M. J. Forban running the Cham
Der, or Is the Chamber running him2
Unless matters change, Will not
great many Of its members drop out?
Does one citizen enter the building
now, where there used to be twenty?
Is 1T generally known that the score
tary is provided with an assistant and
both are drawing large salaries?
Is 1t not fact that the present man
agfmant of the Chamber is Gispustine
the entire community, and causing il t.
lose the prestige The city once had cause
to be justly proud Of?
In conclusion, Mr.. Walden stated
that Mr.. Forhan and the board had tie
privilege of correcting any false impress
sion which may exist, and he sincerely
hoped they would 90 so.
