when he will return to Butte. Business Is
lively in his section.
Thursday morning, before the chickens
had made move, wagon-load consisting
of A. H. Snow, L. L. Pierce, Rem Snow
and Ephraim Jensen started for the b. E.
S. and NJ. ranch up Blacksmith Fork can
non. They intend to return Sunday.
Ogden is fast becoming ''tough,'' at least
that s the general OF iniOn and what we infer
from number of dark visaged, Sneaklng
looking fellows we have seen moving from
that quarter and bound in our direction.
Look out now for clothes lines, chicken
coops, your nickles and your safes.
VIM. Horsley has purchased l.. A. Lin
roots place in the second ward for 81, 400
co. He afterwards made his eldest son,
Glenn a present of this property, which
shows how highly he appreciates his sons
faithful labors for number of years past.
That is a handsome gift and Glen" will
make the best Of it.
He's booked for Bedlam, sure. The
''catch'' now at our jail numbers but one,
who is limp lamb of only about fourteen.
He is hard looking little fellow, and says
his father and mother are dead but his
grandparents are living at the Cove, west
of Kelton, and that he was gently jailed
for having ''sWiped'' a pair of boots.
Mortimer and Virginia Snow, of Brigham,

Comedy company, doing the coast, and

Six immense granite stones, aggregating
twenty thousand pounds, are being hauled
from the depot to Bolts stone masonry
today. When properly trimmed down
they will grace the front grounds Of the
court house, looking like as many stern con-
federate sentries on the watch. The grey
pillars win loom up strangely with deep,
dark night for back ground.
Two young ladies were leisurely stroling
down one of our shady back streets the
other evening gently singing in silVery
tones. ''rhen meet me by the moonlight
startled them with: Say girls, wOuldn' t
it do now just as well"' They gathered
their skirts. flounced across the road and
disappeared through Il friendly gate.
There is boy leading d strange blind
woman around town. She claims to hall

Ter. When the boy spies a crowd of l0afers
he steals up, and the woman Is seated in
their midst and begins, in pleading strains,

We would like some willy dynamiter to
sneak into the cellar of our riczsty old
schoOlhouse in the Second ward on Main
street. and light one of his most destructive
cartridges there, blowing the old disgrace
to the four winds Of heaven. This, and
this only, will cause the proper authorities
to rebuild croditabe building in a suitable
locality, it seems. Many are the complaints,
and from prominent parties, too.
On Wednesday, Mr. Boutwell, telegrapaed
Mr.. HadIey, of COrinne, to have two con-
vcyances for him and party at Wright's
farm near Blue creek. It is thought that
Mr.. Boutwell, has in his party several
wealthy real estate spectators and perhaps
some OF the men who are going to risk their
hundreds of thousands in the Scar river
canal scheme. 1t is supposed that the party
win be out several days, going over the
country which the proposed canal will
cut.
We shall celebrate the Twenty-fourth in
a good respectful old folks style. In the
morning there will be d grand feast at the
factory building for the old folks, who will
be waited on by the yOung ladies of the
place. In the afternoon they adjourn to
Gidney Grove when a great number of
presents will be distributed and q good
time in general had. The merchants are
contributing literally many gifts that are
sure to make the old folks shed tears OF
gratitude.
A gentleman down from CollinstOn Thurs
day says that part of the country is alive
with the canal contractors. Every day
brings men from far and near. About half
a dozen of our local men have been on the
ground. Some shake their heads, while
one man said he could put 1000 Italians in
the field. We do not want the Italians
here, and this can be prevented if our local
contractors get the work. There is no
well says he will favor our local men.
Some say that the work will be begun at
once.
Here we come. What next? Suit of
damages against our city to the amount of
s., 900! D. P. Tarpey has the gall to bring
action against Brigham, and claims he is
out the above amount because number of
loads of gravel have been hauled from a
hole in the side of the mountain east of the
city and neaar the cemetery. His lawyer
and surveyor visited the spot which has
been so badly injured, or deprecated, and
on Wednesday the news was afloat that we
were to be sued. For years and years the
hauling of gravel has been carried en- from
this place, both by private and public
means. Mr. Tarpey might get considera-
ton, but his claims are outrageous. He
could get the greater half of the whole
mountain around there for the sum for
which he proposes fighting.
Anumber of people have asked why we
call Brigham the City of Homes, while a
still greater number have, without interro-
cation, come and testified to the applica-
bility of the term. We never expect to see
Brigham a rushing, lively, business centre,
but clean, quiet, peaceful city where
those who love home and quiet, secluded
place for one, will sure to dwell. Should
the Bear River canal ever prove a Ger
tainty it viii lend helping hand, but
never make busting railroad centre of
or city, or thriving mining camp. With
out doubt, Brigham will grow and prosper
steadily Its clean, wide streets, shirted
with beautiful spreading shade trees,
having gurgling brooks constantly flowing
at their roots, the many comfortable homes
with cool retreats in the dense orchards
which surround them, together with it's
cultivated and liberty loving populace,
make Brigham typical City of Homes.
