Mart Lannan and William Wood, butch
ers OF Salt Lake city, We're admiring the
fine beef cattle that have been fed here this
winter, on Thursday.
On Tuesday evening a number of our
most prominent citizens held a meeting in
the schoolhouse to discuss the advisability
OF starting mammoth brick yard. Moth
ing OF Importance was done, however, ex-
cept the appointing Of committee to
further investigate the matter.
The funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Payne, wife of William r. Payne,
were held on Tuesday afternoon in the
meeting house. The speakers were Bishop
Barton, Thomas f Rouech and E. Webb
Each spoke in glowing terms of the faith
fuIness OF the deceased. Mrs. Payne was
thlrty-four years Of age. She was loving
mother, and devoted wife. The family
have the heartfelt sympathy of the commu-
nifty in their bereavement.
John G. M. Barnes celebrated his thir-
tleth birthday on Wednesday. In the
evening party of friends who had previ-
ously been invited by his wife assembled
at his home, and gave that gentleman a
very pleasant surprise. A very nice sup
per had been provided and after that part
OF the programme had been dispensed with,
games, social chat, ETC., were INDUCED in
the remainder of the evening. The whole
was very pleasant affair. and John c.. re
celved the hearty good wishes of all pres
ent.
The city council held its first session last
Monday evening. After the table had been
cleared of all the business the old officers
retired and their seats were taken by the
new ones. Mayor Stewart will retain his
seat, and Councillor John w. Shornley will
retain his also. The various committees
were then formed, after which the mayor
addressed the council. He briefly related
the business to be transacted, and also
urged the committee on irrigation to call a
mass meeting of the citizens of the eastern
part of town and see if arrangements could
not be made TO pipe the water from Bears
canon to that part of the town known as
the new survey.
The suggestion of the mayor last Mon
day evening with regard to piping the
water from Bears canon to the new sur
vey was timely one That portion of the
town IS situated in a very desirable loca-
ton and II the necessary water could be
procured to supply the wants of the people,
property would enhance in value and be-
come preferable to any residence property
In town. AT the water meeting last Satur-
day the primary claimants of Haight's
creek gave the new survey thirteen hours
more water, making their claim seventh
hours. Heretofore one half of the water
has been lost through seepage and bad
water bitches and had we been allowed no
more than our just due not sufficient water
would have reached US to keep shade trees
alive. People who own property here
know just what value to place upon water,
and if this seventy hours water is brought
to US in pipes it will be equal to twice. the
original claim. To do this we must expect
to be taxed and if a few thousand dollars
are required to do it our taxes will then of
necessity be raised to meet the emergency.
This we should not complain of, but rather
let US when the mass meeting is called rally
around the committee on irrigation, show
them that it is water we want and no mat
ter at what cost. Prevail upon the city
council to use the credit of the city to the
extent that is required to bring this about.
and in five years we can have a system of
irrigation surprising anything around. and
our prosperity will be enhanced in value
sufficient to defray an expense five times
as large. x
