Soda Springs, on the Oregon ehort
Line. They want the Legislature to
memorabilia Congress to give them a
right of action against the Mormon
Church on account OF alleged losses
they sustained something like quarter
OF century ago, or that the general
government recompense them for such
loss. As there are people here
from all over the Territory
your correspondent made a poinL
of inquiry into the circumstances and
ascerIained from GentIle sources that
so far as any outrages were concerned
those petitioners were of the aggressors
that they resisted arrest and when
militia were sent against them by law
ful authority they resisted still, and
their property was returned to them by
General Connor. The petition was re
ferred to the Councilman from
Bingham and Oneida counties. This
means that
A GREAT BUGAB0O
will be made out of it-astounding
facts" reported that will chill the
blood of the ordinary citizen. all
of which will, they believe, tend
to make Republican votes. There is
an end to guilabiiity, as we'll as to all
terrestrial things, and the members
who have this matter in charge will
find this to be the fact before they have
done. That the Republicans have al
ready proceeded too far the wisest of
them know; that they will retain in the
Republican organization any great
number of Democrats who have gone
with them thus far no one believes say 9
themselves, We are anxious to see
some one present himself before our
judges and ask to be naturalized under
the provisions of the act they have
passed. There is no doubt but that
such q case will be worked up very soon.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY BILL
was in committee of the whole on
Wednesday afternoon. The bill pro-
vides that it shall be erected at Moscow,
in Latab County. We see but one diff
Guilty in the way, and that is the means
to erect and run the institution. It is
not in the treasury now, and in view of
present expenses and debts, is not likely
TO be for long space of time in the
future. The Territory cannot run in
debt to exceed $2l0, 900 according to the
law of Congress passed two years ago,
and that limit has been nearly, if not
quite reached. Our Legislature aspires
to do great things, and constitutions, or
ganic and other laws are constantly in
terposiDg between them and their aims
At length the committee on counties

One half the members of the present
Legislature have
HOPES OF BEING DELEGATE
some day and live in mortal fear of AL
turas County. 1t has one-sixth of the
representation in the Legislature, and
is as large as the State of New JERSEY.
These ambitious aspirants dare not
make report against her. There is
pending bill to create the county of
Logan out of her southern limits. II
is still with the committee, and what its
fate may be no one can tell. Alturas is
Republican as she is, and the politi-
clans of that stripe do not wish
to take any chances no matter how
much injustice may come from a re-
fusal to cut the county up into new
political divisions.
AN IRRIGATION BILL
has been introduced into the House and
referred. 1t is very long and its pro-
visions are copied from the Colorado
statutes. 1t is a good bill and will
confer great benefits upon the
Territory if passed, as it has
done in the Centennial State. Re
viewing the bills introduced during
the session this one seems like an
Oasis in Sahara's sands. 1t is feared
that it will be ruined with amendments
as if the assembly turned all to ashas
that comes within range of it's touch.
There are number of bitches near this
city which would be soon completed if
the act were in force, some of them |
were commenced more than five years
ago. Itwould be impossible to gain an
idea of the pre- visions of the bill within !
the limits of a communication and !
your readers VIII therefore have to be
to the statutes of Colorado.
THE LIQUOR BILL
as it now stands, has passed the As
sembly and grades licenses at from one
to three hundred and fifty dollars, &C
cording to the disposition of the County
Commissioners. 1t provides that no |
liquor shall be sold to minors nor shall !
they be harbored by saloon keepers. |
This is a good provision, for many sa-
in this city-ha
at times, presented the appearance of |
'kindergartens." 1t has notyet passed |
the council.
The Assembly have passed the bill !
allo wing county seats to be removed |
upon a vote of four fifths OF the elect

Washington has been signing for the |

years. There is a town in that section
known as Salubria. Why so named
