The Box Elder stake academy commences

The majority of the citizens of Brigham
want the name of the pOstoffice changed
from Box Elder to Brigham City. This no
doubt could be accomplished if petition
were circulated to that effect, with the post
masters endorsement. The only objection
to the change is that Brigham and Bingham
are so near alike, and the postOffice depart
ment will not allow two offices having the
same name in one state or territory. But
if it was made Brigham City and the name
of the county also used all errors would be
avoided, and mail intended for Brigham
would not be sent to Bingham, and vice
versa. Who will get up petition! The
change cannot be brought abeut unless this
is done.

proof safe, guaranteed to withstand the
attacks of a number of professional bur
glars foriforty hours and more if necessary.
This safe has a patent time lock of the
latest model, which is the second of the
kind in the territory, and cost several hun
bred dollars. In the centre of the build
ing. and entirely separated from the outer
walls, is the vault, which is of solid brick
and tireproof. with the exception of an air
chamber in the centre, thus giving it
good ventilation, and any one having
money TO deposit will find it as safe here
as in the Bank of England.
About the only reason most, if not all,
persons not personally interested in Brig

tiful city in Utah north of Salt Lake. is
1s-h Va,
Ogden" Is not this trihing reason, and
if the only one should we not be happy?
How near Is Ogden to Salt Lake? We ad-
nit we are rather close to Ogden, but
when the following comes to pass land

some fine morning wake up to find
