HOW TO MAKE A CITY.

E. G. Pentland, editor of the West
Side, recently visited Spokane Falls,
and writes long and very interesting
letter to his paper descriptive of that
wonderful city and the rapid progress
it is making. In conversation with
A. M. Cannon, one of the leading men
OF the place, he asked him how he
managed to build such a prosperous
city. "By our enterprise" he said.
I'VE had faith in our town. When L
came here in 1878 / had only about
$4,000. J. M. Glover and j. Brown
and myself purchased the town site.
We made up our minds to either have
a city here or bankrupt ourselves.
That determination has made all of
us our fortunes. In 1888 we had only
three or four hundred people. Ialone
have given In cash for subsidies over
$4,000. The people here have do
mated S500,000 in one way or another.
In the early days of the town we
could not get lumber, SO we our
selves built sawmil. 1 have taken
stock in every enterprise in the city,
and helped it along. Our newspapers
here I have helped in every way.
We propose making the Re0ie1O equal
to the OregOntGn. We must have a
good paper, and if it does not pay, We
will make it pay. The first town lots
we sold, we let people have them for
almost nothing if they would only
build. After the Northern Pacific
was completed, we found that We
needed road to the Palouse country,
so well built 115 miles of the road with
home enterprise. The Coeur dAlene
mines trade was wanted, and so we
built road to them. The Seattle &
Lake Shore road was wanted, and we
gave $175,000 towards it. We gave a
bonus of 100000 to the Northern,
which will connect us with the Cana
dian Pacific railroad. We managed
to get the terminus of the Washing
ton Central railroad, which has fifty
miles already built; and now comes
the Rockford road, which will con-
meet us with the Union Pacific. We
have the termini or advantage oi
seven railroads. The water power OF
} the falls is 214,0 900 horse power. The
reason we have succeeded is because
we have been enterprising. We
wanted people; when they came W,
found them work. We spent $500,
, 600 on our streets. All our stree
railway lines were built by home
capital. In spite of all the none!

whereby the good health has been at

that SO much is heard in praise of Elec-

THE LOCAL PAPER.


is a power for good in the community
in which it is published. Business
men know this better, perhaps, than
any other class of men, and those who
know it best are often the slowest to
admit the fact. Since the local paper
caters mainly to the best interests OF
local business and local institutions
so. in turn, should it be fostered and
cherished by local support. If prop
erly sustained then by homo patron
age, home influence and advice, papers
become living epistles of the people,
to be read and contemplated by all
men.
Why is it that business agents and
commercial travellers are always SO
eager to see the ''locaT' daily or week
ly newspaper upon entering for the
first time any considerable village or
city? 1t is to get Photographic view
of the people. A paper can reach no
higher in excellence and usefulness
than the standard of intelligence and
ambition of the people among whom
it circulates. Thus will it be seen
that a grand domestic journal must
be sort of a mutual affair. While
it is fed and clothed by the peo-
pie it pays back a good interest to
those who minister to its necessities
"Send us a copy of your paper" has
gotten to be a stereotyped request
coming from eastern inquirers to the
publishers here. To save the expense
of a journey hither they want us tc

they know very well that a good pa

story of our beautiful sunset land and
it is mainly due to printers ink that
Washington is what she is to-day.
As, on the one side, the local paper
goes hand in hand with its patrons, so
on the other side, does it go hand in
hand with the great metropolitan pa
pers of the land. All in all, news
papers are the educators of the peo

Apostle franklin D. Richards.

Apostle Richards was the first speaker:
81 deem it very great blessing and priv
| ilcge for US to be allowed to live and asso-
ciate together in the holy faith. 1t was
not now as it had been-the Saints were
more fully taught in the principles of the
gospel than they were at the first, and it
requires more confidence in a speaker than
| it did in times gone by, when one arises to
address congregation of the Saints. We
should endeavor to appreciate the truths we
have received and apply them to our lives,
that we become living exemplars, through
accepting, obeying, and living those prin-
ciples which we have received. We have
occasion to be thankful that our lots are
cast in this land of promise-the land above
all other lands, in fertility and richness of
soil. and choice in all other respects, be-
cause of the liberty implanted upon it.
Even if we are restrained in certain re-
spects, what would our condition be under
THE RULE OF AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY?
When we think of what we are called to
endure we have great reason to be full of
gratitude, and our spirits should be full of
humility, because of our situation here.
The principles of the gospel were not under
stood by the outside world. We came here
that we might learn of the Lord, that we
might walk in his paths Oh, my brethren,
the commands of the Lord that you could
not keep in the lands of your fathers. This
should be constantly before US. No man
can understand the things of God, save by
the Spirit of God; therefore, it is necessary
that we should at all times have it with us;
that we should keep our covenants with
God and with each other. 1t is obedience
to the ordinances that washes away and
cleanses sins. 1t is this that qualities US
day by day to go on increasing in knowl-
edge, power and intelligence but without
it we can make no progress. We should make
progress in our own homes, day by day.
Let me tell you, we are too apt to act like
the door upon its hinges. We go to our
work and come back tired and weary, but
do we at all times cOnsecrate our work to
the Lord! Does the farmer, when he sows
the Seed bow down and ask the blessing of
God upon it; or do we not, at times, go
roaming over it after the cattle and sheep
and swearing little if they go little
faster than the horse does!
IN PAYING OUR TITHING,
we are simply rendering back to God a
portion of his own. We should do no labor
on the Sabbath day; we should rest, orr
animals should rest, and we should offer
thanks to heaven. In many places,
the people of the earth are more
careful in keeping the Lords day than the

SCENES ON SUNDAY.
MILFORD Woodruff Elected PreSi-
dent Of the Church.
A NOTABLE HISTORICAL EVENT.
The Tabernacle, and Assembly Hall Crowded,
and Yet Hundreds of People Fail to
Gain Admission.

Conference is over, an adjournment hav
ing been taken until October next. II
many ways the event has been a notable
one. For the first time in great many
years nearly all the leading officials of the
church have been permitted to be in at
tendanc. the number of visitors has beer
far in excess of any similar period in the
history of the church, and for the fourth
time since its organization in 1880 presi
dent has been elected to preside over the
church.
Sunday, however, Was the red-letter day.
In addition to the immense audience in
the tabernacle which was literally
packed, an overflow meeting was
held in the assembly hall, and vel
hundreds were unable to gain admission To
either place, the grounds surrounding be
ing literally packed with humanity, while
the main streets took on a thoroughly
metropolitan appearance.

MONDAY AFTERNOON.
Apostle f. N. lyman.

1 am very pleased for the privilege of
meeting with you in this conference. am
willing to bear my testimony and to speak
of the goodness of the Lord to the Latter
day Saints God has revealed to us truths
regarding Himself, regarding His Son
Jesus Christ, and regarding the Holy
Ghost.
God has placed great responsibilities upon
our shoulders and has given US testimony
to encourage US in this important work.
The church has now been established for
almost generation. God has given US the
living oracles whose voices sound within
our hearing. Every true Latter-day
knows that this is the kingdom of God es-
tablished for the last time, never more to
be removed from the earth. The church is
not weakened by the loss of any member or
of any quorum. 1t has vitality, and endur-
ance, God maintains it, and has maintained
it from the time that the Father and the
Son appeared to Joseph Smith.
God has by His spirit prepared mems
hearts for receiving the truth.
GOD is ABLE TO QUALIFY
the weakest of men to administer in things
pertaining to His kingdom. The servants of
God should be willing and ready to perform
missions both at home and abroad, and to

Before me to-day 1 see a host of men
holding the priesthood and who are the re-
representatives. of God on the earth. All
meetings should be well attended by the
Latter-day Saints, especially the sacrament
meetings. No ordinance is better suited
to strengthen the people than the observ-
ance of the Lords supper Those who are
careless in this respect and observe the
sacrament with little thought of its import
ance, will not have the full enjoyment of
the spirit, but are liable to become weak
ened in the faith.
1t is question unsettled regarding the
salvation of the people before me to-day. 1t
is so regarding my own salvation. We are
not sure of this until we have run the race
1t is important that we should remember
our progress morning and evening, and it is
dangerous for those who are negligent in
this respect All who continue faithful will
be saved When the trial comes, many of
the Latter day Saints will prove faithful
1t will be found that they are firm believers
in the truth, but the fact that the church
will endure has been made known to US of
