zIoN,s BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY.

THB HERALD has nothing but the warm
est words of praise for an institution which
has for its object the aiding of the Iaboring
man to secure home for his loved ones.
No matter how limited theincOme, itshould
be the pride and one of the controlling am
billions of every mans life, to secure a
home for his family, as it is a sacred obli-
CATION which he owes them, to say nothing
of the debt of love and gratitude that he IS
under to wife and children whose happi-
ness is in his keeping.
Some weeks ago we said a few words Of
praise for Zion's Benefit Building society
and called attention TO the fact that there
was to be meeting to vote on the question
of an increase of capital. The meeting for
that purpose will be held to morrow night,
and we again express the hope that the in
crease will be made, provided, of course,
there are no reasons advanced to show
there is danger to the society by so doing.
We do not know Of single society in the
union in which there are greater advant-
ages to the borrower than are given by
Zion's Benefit Building society, although
nearly all of the states have money to loan
interest than prevails here. Nearly all
societies charge a premium to those who
borrow of from u to b per cent. on the
amount borrowed, and therefore, when the
loan is paid the amount of premium is
simply so much money given to the society
by the borrower, beyond what he has re-
ceived, and in addition to paying interest
Oh the amount borrowed he also pays it on
the premium. Zions Benefit society does
not ask any premium from the borrowers.
We have before US statement of the bust
ness of a Denver society which claims to
charge the smallest premium of any in
Colorado: viz, - per cent. The rate of
interest is 10 per cent, so that a borrower
pays II 1-5 per cent. the extra l Is pei
cont. being 10 per cent. on the premium.
The longer time taken to make the pay
ment, the easier it is on the borrower; but
let US suppose that borrower in Denver's
most liberal society in the matter of pre-
n iums, desires to pay his loan at the end OF
the first year-and this is something thai
is very often the case ON account of a sale
of property or from some other reason; say
the loan is $1,000, the premium would be
si2O; the interest on SLIGO would be SIP.
The borrower is also charged an extra |
premium of $40, or per cent. for the pr |
vilege OF paying his loan, total of S249, OF |
a little over q per cent. per annum.
A borrower under the necessity Of pay
ing his loan at the end of the first year !

Manti Matters.

The haying season, as well as the hay, is
short this year.
W. H. Folsom, architect of the Manti
temple, is visiting here at present
Harvesting has commenced, several self
binders having made their appearance in
the field.
The young mems band serenaded the
town last Saturday night, to the delight of
the citizens that were enabled to hear them.
The Manti temple is now closed and will
remain so for period of five wee!-s. Ow-
ing to this, the streets are somewhat depopu-
lated.
Patriarch James Works departed this
life on the morning of the 9th. Funeral
services were held in the tabernacle yes
terday.
A select party rendered a surprise to
President D. H. Wells at the Temple
Boarding house, on the occasion of his leav-
ing Manti for q short time.
G. E. Bench, proprietor of the Bench
house, has in course of erection a bath
house for the accommodation of his guests,
which, when completed, will make the
house second to none in town.
The celebration of the oath passed off in
a very quiet manner. An entertaining
programme was rendered at the tabernacle
in the forenoon. In the afternoon parties
were held in both houses for the juveniles,
and at night for adults, which was the ex
tent of the celebration in Manti
MANTI, July %, 1889.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-07-28

would be a hard man to convince that he
had been a member of benefit building
society.
If the borrower carries his loan stock
until it natures, which it is estimated it
will do in eight years, the average annual
rate extra that he has paid is one eighth of
the premium: viz, - per cent. or Is per
cent, which, added to the II 18th per cent
charged for the use of the money, the
amount that he is really charged for the
money is nearly ID per cent. Therefore,
the charges are from twelve and fraction
to twenty-four and fraction, varying in
proportion to the date of paying the loan.
In case the premium is 35 per cent, the
poor borrower pays so dearly for the bene-
fits of the society that we do not care to
estimate it in figures.
Considering the fact that money is
higher here than it is in Denver, it speaks
wonderfully well that the borrower in
Denver pays so per cent. and fraction
more for his money if he carries his loan
until his stock natures and 200 per cent.
more if he pays the loan the first year than
Zion's Benefit Building society charges.
1t is because lions Benefit society is all
that the name implies that we hope to see
the capital increased, so that all may share
in its benefits. While we do not wish to be
considered as casting reflections on the
Denver society, from whose statement we
have made the above comparisons, we do
want our readers to understand and appre-
ciate the fact that we have in our city one
of the best, if not the best, for the work
ingman, that can be found in the Union.

GIVE Us FACTS, NOT FANCIEs.

The Liberals seem to have determined
to make the water supply question cam
paign issue. Chairman POWERS has issued
his war cry, and pamphlet containing
various Liberal utterances on water has
been distributed.
AS a matter of fact, the getting of a sup
ply of water for this city is a difficult
problem. Under Congressional statute the
city can not issue bonds to exceed four per
cent of the assessed valuation, or about
1850, 600, of which sum S40O, 900 are now out
standing. The margin, $3.50, 900, is not suf-
fcent to carry out any gigantic scheme,
such as the purchase of Big Cottonwood.
The city is therefore hampered
by Congress, and if it would
expend million or two dol
ars must first procure Congressional
sanction.
AS matter of fact the city council is
working diligently, though silently, to solve
this problem. 1t has done and is doing
vast amount Of labor that does not appear
upon the surface, but which will vet ap
pear on the surface in the shape of merry
streams of water. We are glad the Lib
erals make this their cry We look to see
the voters of the city well satisfied long
before the February election that all has
been done TO procure water for the city
hat could in reason be expected
1t may be stated, for it is true,
that there are no members of the council
more perplexed over this matter than the
four Liberal members. Notwithstanding
they are Liberals, and, therefore, we are
to presume, filled with water wisdom and
acquainted with numerous easy and
schemes to food the town, they

He Was an Old Man. but a lively One.

He Was an Old Man, but a Lively One
We We're sitting in front of Davidson's gro
Gerry one summer afternoon, when some one
observed that "Old Taylor was coming. Ee
was dried up little old man, who might
have been anywhere from 50 to 100 years old,
and he had voice to remind you OF broken
glass rafting in u tin pan.
Now, boys" said the village shoemaker,
who was about IS years old, and weighed rs
pounds, ''Iili show you some fun. I'm goirS
to scare old Taylor half to death"
The old man drove up before any eEpiaEs-
tons could be sought, and after hitching his
old plug he stood for minute to wipe the
dust off his ancient plug hat with his elbow.
The shoemaker took advantage OF this to All
vance and say:
Uncle Taylor, it is over twenty years ago
that | sold you pair of boots ON tick. They
have never been paid for yet"
They didn't fit, and they never will be
paid fur!' holly replied the old man.
81 have waited and waited" continued the
cobber. ''but my patience is finally exhaus1-
ed. You must now pay me OF I'll take it O5Ig
of your hide
Coin TO licl; ne, heyE' shouted Uncle Tay-
lor, as he drew back a step
"I'Il have to" answered the creditor.
''Then pitch right inl"
''WIl you payP
''No, sirl''
"Uncle Taylor, hate TO break You in two,
but if you don't pay that old debt mp
'Then come onI' squealed the old man, and
with that heswung and caught the shoemaker
on the jaw and laid him out. He followed n
up by piling on, and he kicked, bit, scratched
and pounded so vigorously that inside OF
three minutes the cohbler was shouting to Us
to take him off. He was licked man. In
stead of having fun with the old man, the
old man had made a circus of him. We
hauled himinto the shade of a sugar hogshesd
and famed him with hat, and after about
ten minutes he family remarked:
Boys, was icked?"
Fright from the marx" we answered.
"And by Old Taylor alone"
yes"
"WeIl, that shows how man can be mis-
taken.'' he sighed. FOR over twenty yearsI
have fondly figured that could lick that old
cuss with my eyes shut and both hands tied
behind me, and now ne does me up in fight
of my own picking and with all my tackle
clearI Please leave me alone for a while,
boys. Ny head swims and my body aches,
and want to reason it out and find some ex-
cuse for making a fool of myself. New

AN ENGLISH REPORTER.
Gen. Pryor Tells Story Which Explains
Him Exactly.

Gen. Pryor Tells Story Which Explains
Him Exactly.
Gen. Pryor tells an amusing story When
he was in England defending the Irish patri-
OTIS he was quite DESTROYS of spreading his
views before the British public. 1t is much
harder to get at an English editor that at an
American, but finally communications were
established, and one evening there was II sub
dued knock at the door of his room in his
hotel Come in said Gen. Pryor, The
door opened about six inches. and through
the aperture sided a dilapidated specimen OF
humanity Softly closing the door the di-
lapidated specimen put his dilapidated hat
on the floor. and, bowling humbiy. uttered:
"Gen. Pryor, believe Yes, ] am Gen.
Pryor; what can do for your II am a
reporter, sir, and ! was sent to ask you if you
would give your views on the American as
pect of the Irish question:"
Everybody who knows Gen. Pryor well
knows that he is one of the most affable Of
men, and in this case he meant to be particp-
larly pleasant, for he wanted to be inter
viewed But forgetting that he was not in
New York, he followed the usual practice of
statesmen in this country, and began with,
ny uStil LSllO"f lSdliy maven SliJ Ol4lIrS
to say" intending this, OF course, as pre-
Jude to long conversation. What was his
establishment when the specimen grabbed his
hat, genuhected still more humbly than be-
fore, calculated, THANK you, sir; thank
you, sir" and disappeared. To have re-
porter give up the struggle so quickly so sur
prised the general that he really sat in his
chair paralyzed for the moment, and before
he could recover the Englishman had gone,
and the interview was lost.-New York Sun.

Heber Happenings,

There are great many strangers pass
ing through here of late, seeking pleasure
and cooler air.
Men are busy getting their hay up; the
crops are not going to be so large this year
as they generally are, on account of the
scarcity of water. Some OF the grain has
shrunk considerable from the same cause.
Myra Miller, Of Lake Greek, vino has
been slightly insane for some time past,
piled up lot Of brush, crawled into it and
set it on fire, burning herself to death.
Her husband was away hunting cattle and
it is supposed she did not like the idea of
being left alone.
The Twenty-fourth of July passed off
quietly, there being no celebration held
here. Our only amusement for the day
was ball game between the Park Citys
and Hebers. 1t is sad to say, butthe Park
boys were badly beaten, making three
runs to the Hebers' twcnty-three. The
grounds were crowded with people and
among them were quite number of red
men and their families. The two parties
that were held in the Heber and Turner
halls were largely attended, so crowded
that there was hardly dancing room. All
places of business were closed for the day
with the exception of the saloons, and bust
ness was too rushing to pay them to shutup
