The Box Elder Meat and Produce COM
pany has been lately organized with a
capital stock of $1,000, divided into $50
elected president, James Smurthwaite
secretary and treasurer, and Alvin
Nichols, Charles Wight, sr., Jos. NJ. Jen-
sen and L. n. Blackburn directors The
business will be conducted upon the eouit-
able cooperative plan. They have bought
the business of Charles Wight, sr., and are
running business at the old stand, with ]
X. Smurthwaite and Charles Wight sr. in

The Pleasant Valley Coal company has
succeeded in establishing an agency at
Three Mile Creek on the Central Pacific
railway, from which point it supplies the
people of Brigham City, Three Mile Creek
and surroundings with coal. The company
has appointed James Il. Smurthwaite
agent. This makes three coal companies
now in Brigham City. More the merrier.
MINES
Are still being discovered in close vicinity
to town, and some of the assays are very
good. Next season will be seen consider
able activity in mining circles. Reports
coming in from La Plata are very tiatter-
ing, and if true, that camp Will prove
somewhat of a surprise to the croakers.
We hope our information is correct. as it
viii undoubtedly help Brigham financially.
A week last SATURDAY. night mr.
HOME DRAMATIC CLUB
presented the play Life for Lifen TO a
crowded house. The members of the club
are making progress, and that they are
meeting with public favor is evidenced by
the crowded houses which greet them.
/ On Monday night the Taylor Dramatic
company played the Streets of New
Yorkn TO rather slim house. The per
Torrance was very fair one, and deserved
better house.
The Mckinley Comedy company played
here Wednesday night TO tair house. and
gave psssable performance.
Brigham City is like great many more
towns. We have some
OFFICIALS WHO ARE TOO oFFIcIoUs,
and threaten what they will do if every
thing don't 60 to suit them, while others
have not enough public spirit in their
bodies to even say anything about public
affairs. They let their offices run them in
stead of running their Office. Some of our
'officious" officials are liable to
receive setback. They should
remember that other people have
some rights as well as themselves.
Wednesday night the taxpayers of the
Second ward held meeting in the Rosen-
baum hall to consider the advisability of
levying special tax to purchase site and
build schooiroom. From tbs proceedings
it was evident the chairman was not at
home. We trust at the next meeting he
will understand his business a little better.
Several gentlemen present spoke to the
subject while others spoke from it. In the
discussion which took place some made
some very good points in favor of the tax.
while others made equally as good against
it. hence the result was an adjournment
without any result.
HOLIDAYS
are coming, and so are the amusements.
which include theatres, mask balls and
other amuser1snts. The theatre ball room
has already been engaged for grand lean
year party. 1t is in the charge of some OF
the popular ladies of our town, who are de.
termined to make it grand success The
