Turpie as to trusts, was taken up and
Turpie proceeded to address the Senate
upon it. He said that trusts were the
gigantic sin of this age and generation.

suppressed as other nuisances, and such

Irrigation of Western Arid Lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lot. F. Cakes,
president of the Northern Pacific railway,
was in this city last week accompanied by
General Solicitor Mcknight and General
Manager Hannaford, to discuss with the
western members of the Senate and House
a plan to be laid before Congress at this
session for the irrigation of the arid lands
of the west. Cakes proposes that Con-
gress give each of the westesn states the
arid lands within its borders. The North
ern Pacific will lend its aid to irrigation
companies to be formed under authority of
the individual statessfor the improvement
of these lands. The proposition to take
the irrigation problem out of the hands of
the general government is based on the
claim that the proposition to appropriate
the millions necessary to carry out the
scheme of irrigation will meet with strong
opposition in the east, and also on the claim
that Congress will take fifteen years to
accomplish what the state legislatures
might do in five.

Wales.
The Y. M. M. 1. association of the South
ward gave party on Friday night in the
assembly hall. There was general turn
out of the young men, and the short but
excellent programme which was given,
made it another enjoyable evening to be ad-
ded to the list of pleasant memories.
Edward, youngest son of G. F. Carlson,
received a severe wound on the top of his
head by falling against chair. When last
heard from the little youngster was pro-

horses, is now located in town for few

Mr.. Wallace Billings commenced school
on Monday, December 9th, with an attend
ance of over seventy pupils, in the city
hall. His school by the end of the week
was filed. Every school now in Manti is
filled to overlooking. 1t is high time an
academy was being started in Manti. The
academy at Ephraim is unable to accommo-
date any more students, and if the youth of
that place were to turn out as they ought
it would be barely large enough; thus
showing that the one academy is not equal
to the task at present, of finding room for
all in the county who can attend if so in
clined. Manti herself can almost support
an academy, and something should be done
by the proper authorities to remedy the
matter. Some say that the teachers en-
gagged are not competent. The difficulty
seems to be that our present schoolhouses
are not adequate to the task of accommo-
dating the young folks of Manti that at
tend school or that are of school age. Let
Manti have an academy.
