A GROWING FIRM.
Salt Lake Building and Manufac-
turing Company.

Preparing for the approaching growth
of the city is this enterprising firm. On
the 30th day of January last, the COM
pany purcha ed 5x 20 rods of ground on
Second West Street, just north ofSouth
Temple Street. They began the erection
of brick building 70 feet one way by 50
feet the other, within one or two days
after the purchase. On the 9Th of this
month, or in a trifle over thirty days,
their boiler was fixed up, the engine
running and the hands all ready at work.
Considering the size of the building it
is surprise that the work could have
been done in so short space of time.
During the whole of last season the
company kept not less than twenty
carpenters steadily employed, and the
outlook for the coming season is that
their new and commodiOus establish
men will hardly prove equal to the
demands that will be made
upon them. Anticipating this,
in addition to their present COM
plete facilities. they have purchased
three new machines Of great use in their
business, which they expect shortly to
arrive. Moreover, so much fine work is
done in winter on large buildings,
special room has been prepared in
which, during winter, this class of work
can be done, where the wood can be
kept dry and where the workmen
will be warm. Those composing this
company-Henry Hayward, Henry A.
Woolley, John Wardrobe, Jr. Oliver
Hodgson and James NJ. Wardrobe-are
all practical carpenters and competent
builders. They themselves work, and
it is due to this fact that their success
has been so great and so rapid. They
do any kind of wood work, and deal in
laths, shingles, pickets, mouldiugs,
sash, doors, blinds, lumber; and are
agents for Mitchell's improved patent
elevators. They are competent and
trustworthy, and We can commend
them.

Going Home.

General MoClernand and Judge
Carlton leave for the east this morning
to be gone till the It'll Of May, when
they will return to meet with the COM
mission for the revision of the registra-
ton lists. They will spend some time
in Washington and then go to their
respective homes. Questioned by q
HERALD reporter last evening, both
gentlemen were somewhat reticent, but
said there was a progress going On here
which no one could fail to note. If they
saw the President while they were in
Washington, which was not improbable,
they could only say they would give an
honest and impartial statement of the
status of affairs in Utah as they existeo.

self fascinsted by the horrors por-

magnetism, but it is the magnetism of

the bloody Duke Alva, who fought with

the other, put La Tosca on the rack of
anguish and tortured her with cues

room, and questioned as to the where

Scarpia with diabolical humor. He gave

OF decency, and ladies left tho house

be indecent even to tell the story of

monster, and Mr.. Mordaunt in imper-
sonating that viliainous character did
not refine it. He gave q highly
dramatic impersonation of that hot,
loud-breathing beast who sought La
Toscs as his prey. She pleads for her
lover Mario's pardon, and asks him to

! rolling eyebslls and hot breath that
Tarquin might have envied, in hoarse
whisper says: THAT he will share you

She consents, and ScaTpia devises plan
of escape and issues an order for its exc

key in his pocket, gives her passport

kisses her. she shudders; like a beast
with uncontrolled passion he follows
her about the room. Then she turns
and stabs him. He dies. The death

AS whole, the play is powerful,
awful, horrible, and the worst play ever
presented in decent theatre.

FecGndity of Fishes.

Fishes produce so many eggs that if vast numbers of the latter and of the fishes themselves were not continually destroyed, these animals would finally fill up all wa ters. For example, man annually takes 60,OOO,OO0 or 70,oOO,O00 cod fish from the sea around the shores of Newfoundland. But even that quantity seems small when we con- sider that each cod yields about 45, 5,000,O00 eggs each season, and that even S,000.0O0 have been found in the roe of single cod. Were the 60,000,000 cod taken on the coast of Newfoundland left to breed, the 30,000,000 females producing 5,000,000 eggs every year, it would give yearly addition of 150,O00,- 000,000,000 young codfsh. Other fish, though not equaling the cod, are wonderfully productive. A herring weigihg six or seven ounces is provided with about 30,OO0 eggs, After making all reasonable allow ances for the destruction of eggs and the young, it has been calcu- lated that in three years single pair ofherrings would produce 154,- 100000. Buffon calculated that if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed, 8 period of twenty years, they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk to the globe on which We live. American.

THE Clifton Clarion says that eight years ago last Sunday, the first locomotive ever run in Arizona started on the Coronado railway, between Clifton and the Longfellow mines. Our esteemed cotemporary is slightly mistaken in his state ment that the locomotive on the little narrow gauge was the first run in the Territory.

Action of the Beard of Supervisors.


 For three or four years past many people in Apache county have sim ply refused to pay their taxes. Their realty has baen sold and resold to the Territory, but no revenue receiv- ed therefrom. At the suggestion of the District Attorney, the Board, at its July meeting, passed an order instructing that officer to institute such proceedings as he thought proper, to either collect the taxes or evict the party from the prem ises, so as that the county might sell the property, and deliver pos session to the purchaser.
 The District Attorney gave no- tice to the delinquents that unless the taxes were paid by August 18th that suits would be instituted.
 The result of this action has been the collection to date of about $500, and there is every reason to believe that before the year is over at least $900 more will be paid into the pulp lie Treasury. This is just so much money found in the road. Regard less of future results, the amount already paid is more than quadru- pie the expense of it's collection.
 The Board of Supervisors, how ever, at it's recent sitting in August, instructed the District Attorney to discontinue about twenty-five of these suits. In this the Board made a grave mistake, we think. The al- legged causes of this action were economy--a desire to save further expense to the county-and the inn pression of the members of the Board that the Improvements sued for.would not pay the expenses of the suit. Now the facts are that the costs had already accrued-the difference between this course, and carrying the suits on to final judg ment. is just % cents. The further fact is, that at least 75 per cent of the cases would have been settled, or the improvements on the premises thus recovered could nave been solG for more than the cosls, which in no case would exceed, say $4 50. In the next place, the Board, witlI- out any legal authority, in effect, exempt these parties from the pay ment of their taxes. This is not only without authority of law, but grossly unjust to those who dop
 We are not willing to adept the general view, that 1t was a mere species of favoritism on the part of the members of the Board of Su- pervisors shown to their pets and friends, but we do insist that it was a serious mistake, and one, which should be, if 1t is not too late, cor rected promptly.

The Earthquake.

At half-past two o'clock Sunday morning an earthequake visited this section and shook things up pretty lively. At three o'clock an- other shock arrived and it "came down with both feet ;" it lasted full ly fifty seconds, and awakened every man, woman and child in the town. The movement of the earthquake was from northwest to southeast, and as the trembling earth became steadier it left with very unpleas- ant rumble as its farewell, Direct ly after the last shock bright red streams of light shot over the sky from the south to the north; this continued for several minutes and was a most magnificent sight. The earthquake shook down few old sheds and did no other damage except to annoy various citizens both male and female; who bur- riedly rushed out without putting on coats or fixing up at all.-Yuma Sentinel.

A new railway is projected from Constantinople to Bagdad, to start from ISmid, the present terminus of d short line of railroad connecting that town withe Scutari, the Asiatic suburb fConstantinople. It's length is about 400 miles, and the esti- mated costis$75, ,500,OOO. Through out it's length 1t will traverse a country well populated, abounding in mineral resources, and produ- cing great quantities of grain. British Consul Jewett, of Sivas, says that the great advantages to the country, commercial and as civilizing influence, of such a road are too obvious to need mention.
