the sun came up the bay was erepty, out as
neither vessel nor crew ever turned up again
it is supposed chat she was boarded in the
night, her crew murdered, and the boat
plundered and scuttled. The superstition was
rendered plausible from the fact that many
articles and stores belonging to the Willis
were afterwards found in the possession of
the Mormon settlement This and similar
depredations rendered mariners exceedingly
wary of touching at the islands, and captain
never took his boat in there unless absolutely
compelled to do so by stress of weather.
In 1858, when affairs had arrived at such q
state as to be no longer endured, the legiti-
mate settlers combined with vessel owners in
petition to the government to investigate
and remedy the constantly growing evil. No
answer was given until the spring Of 1854,
when the revenue cutter Michigan put in an
appearance at st. James, carrying with her
instructions to look into the matter, and the
officials did it with a vengeance. They were
received by Strang and his followers with
open arms, and, to use a current expression,
nothing was too good for them" Officers
and crew we're given the run of everything.
When they were not eating, dancing or flirt-
ing with the Mormon damsels they were
were most literally supplied by their hosts.
The Michigan force passed two weeks pleas
ansy with the residents of Big Beaver, and
then departed That their report found moth
ing to complain OF is shown from the fact
that the government did nothing more in tbs
matter.

But the strong dynasty was drawing to a
close Becoming convinced that no relief

unprepAred for such an attack. They awoke
in tho middle Of the night to find their dry

made, but it was fr1litleSs. Half the men In
the Strangite party were killed and the town
Was burned down. Strang himself barely
escaped with his life. In company with one
of his wives he managed to reach another
island, and in a day or two was taken off by
a vessel and carried to the Wisconsin shore.
Soon afterwards he died near Milwaukee
from the effect of wounds he had received in
the melee. The captured Mormons were
given choice of two things They could take
their turn at being strung up or could get

No Anxiety About Herself.

Among the guests at an old ladys recent
birthday party was her son. As the old
lady was celebrating her centennial and the
son was 80 years old they made a reInarka-
bic couple The mother, in spite of her
years, was so strong and vigorous, both men,
tally and physically, that il seemed almost
Incredible that she had rounded out full
century of existence, and her son had been
absent from he for several years The
meeting between them had been very affec-
tionate. and they had remained close to each
other during the sons stay. When the time
came for him to go he embraced his mother,
saying wistfuIly, well, mother, I suppose
this is the last time shall ever see you.
The mother looked up quickly and aston
ished why, dear, what's the matterf' she

purchase wool freely. But so long as the
goods market fails to respond, it is useless
to talk about the. frmness of the wool mar
ket abroad or any other feature presumed
to affect the price of the staple in this coun-
try. 1t is fact, admitted by manufactur-
ers, that they do not own woods to any
great extent at this time, and they also de-
clare that they do not desire to own them
till they feel sure they can sell their goods
Under such circumstances manufacturer
are not very free purchasers of woods
They do not deny but what the staple IS
cheap, but it might be considerably cheaper
than it is to day, and yet afford them no in
ducement to buy, till they could see how
they were to use it at profit"
Such has been the season of 1899 and the
present status of the wool business. And
now as to the future: We think prices
have touched bottom east If they have
not, so much the worse for those who have
wool on hand, for should prices go lower it
will badly hurt holders of wool all over the
country, Utah holders not excepted AS
to what the price for the next clip will be,
it is too early to answer. The usual laws
that govern trade will have something to
do with it, but it lies largelywith the law
making powers of Our nation whether the
grower will get for his product the low
price of 1888, or the better price of 1889 If
something is not done this winter we look
for next seasons prices to be lower than
they are to- day.

DENVER
In looking about him, the eyes of the
Salt Laker are naturally apt to rest on
Denver as being type of what a pros
porous city should be, and of what he
should initiate in his own progress. 1 do
not regard it as extravaganza to state that
there is every reason why Salt Lake
should become a second Denver, and
even outstrip her. We have all the ad-
vantages she possessed in her start, and
great many more. Denver received her
great impetus from the opening of the
Leadville mines about 1880, and in the
building of number of railroads which ad
vertised Colorado to such an extent that a
great many wealthy people came out to
Denver in pursuit of health and pleasure.
and afterwards invested their money there
in building up the city, joining with many
6 o"pi0oioeo VI SoIof duo WHO nau
made their money out of the Leadville
mines. Salt Lake has great mining sec
ton contiguous to her, as well as a fine
agricultural and stock district. With
these advantages and her attractive
climate and her great bathing resorts,
there is no reason why she should not
have population of from sixty thousand
to seventy thousand in from three to five
years.
