The favorable rates over the Central Pa

derive quite a revenue from this source
The activity displayed by the army of

1t will do no harm to continue the eX-
periments now going ON for the develop
ment of natural gas in the vicinity of
Ogden. None Of the wells that have been
driven are yet deep enough to assure a
continuous flow of gas, although the out
look is encouraging. II is the intention of
some Of our enterprsing citizens to settle
the question of the permanency of the nat
ural gas supply in the only practical way,
that IS, by boring deep into the bowels Of
old mother earth.
Some people are disposed to take the
view that the asphaltum walks now being
laid in this city will not stand the cold and
frosts Of winter. This view is erroneous. |
The material being used here is equal, if
not superior, to that used on the streets
and sidewalks of Washington, d. c., where
the climate is similar to ours, although the
changes of weather are more frequent
there than here. The asphaltm walks and
Fdyements in Washington are a success |
and wear well a gentleman from Berlin |
says that asphaltum is used almost ex-
clusively on the streets of that beautiful
city.
