with 652. 126 tons at the same date of 1885,
and l30,9T in 1887. This surplus is the
more remarkable in view of the general
activity of all the industries that are large
consumers Of coal. The unsettled condi-
ton of the London money market. on
which the discount rate ranges unusually
nigh, has also been an unfavorable factor:
the more so as there is evidently a grow

the very large commercial demand at the
expense OF the wants of the stock ex-
change and the promoters of new enter
prlses, which are being created at a rate far

The Utah Central mail train has been
very irregular for the last ten days. Some
are wondering why the Salt Lake mail for
Provo cannot be sent by the Rio Grande
until the Utah Central thaws out In the
spring.
We read in THE HERALD on Tuesday that
coal famine prevailed in this city. The
weather being cold and our coal-bin near
empty, we interviewed j. w. Deal, of the
lilo Grande agency. The result was that
on arriving home there was load of coal.
which proved to my satisfaction there has
been no scarcity. A coal famine in Provo
would certainly be felt IN Salt Lake city.
Since the delegation from this city to the
legislature with hangers on, ETC. have van
ished from our gaze litigations and political
strife have ceased. ami we have enioyed
season of rest. The harmonious action at
the Peoples primaries last week, and the
absence OF any political issues all seem to
Indicate that the best men Will be elected
to the municipal Offices on February 10.
without regard to party lines
The Peoples convention to nominate
candidates will be held on Monday, Feb
ruary 3, after which the Liberals will de
eide if they will place candidates in the
field or not.
THE curious smiles that overspread the
faces of one or twon of those legislators
visiting the insane asylum Thursday was
no doubt brought about as THE HERALD's
report suggests 1t is presumed they felt
the boom and only wished they owned some
real estate in Provo so they might partici-
pate in the general prosperity. As it
was, they failed to notice the real
evidence of the boom outside of some real
estate signs and the royal reception and
the grand dinner at the COSMOPOLITAN.
They did not seem to notice the large num-
Der of railroad ties piled up at intervals
along the main streets over from the Rio
Grande station TO the asylum. The ties
are there, however, ready for our street
car track to be placed in position as soon as
the weather permits. The day is not far
distant when Provo will have her street
cars, and electric lights, and water works.
Already the question of sewerage is being
discussed. and Provo is growing faster
than many of our citizens imagine. We do
not wonder that curious smile over
spreads the faces of incredulous Salt LAX
ers when they come here and feel of the
boom.
