A Block of Tenement Houses

In the language Of another, Span
ish Fork people have for years past
been laying an extensive foundation
upon which the future can build upon
with utmost safety. And although
the progress of the place does not APP
pear, to the careless observer, to be
keeping pace with its neighbors, yet
the fact is, the momentum of the
place according to population is
greater than that of any other place
in Utah county. 1t is true that some
improvements are sadly needed and
antiquated notions need burying, but
the future is full of promise and hope,
and the day is not far distant when
the unemployed youth and others will
engage their time in the presence Of
the rafting roar of machinery, and
Spanish Forks immeasurable re-
sources, now comparatively latent,
will be developed to that extent that
will place them among one OF the
foremost cities in the West. 1t is
conceded by all that no other place in
this county is so faYorablv situated for
farming. The same is true as to her
position for the erection and mainten-
anse of manufacturing establishments.
The terrasic shelves of the East
Bench afford situations where mills,
tanneries, factories, etc, may be built
with the assurance of sufficient water
power, without in the least interfering
With agricultural needs, if the matter
is only properly and wisely conducted.
BROTHER JOHN MOORE, an en-
ployee of the Cooperative store for
twenty years last past, and who has
occupied with highest honor nearly
every position therein, leaves for Eng
land Thursday next. Last night a
a bali was given in respect to him and
another missionary. The store will
lose a faithful, honest, interested
hand, the public reliable friend, but
the advocates of true religion in Eng
land will gain a conscientious ex-
ponent.
The Cooperative store is just
through taking stock, and although
the full particulars are not yet known,
one thing is certain, the firm is as solid
as the Brock of Ages" Since 1888 it

$50 900, and all paid for. Their pres

items of their auxiliary branches, to-
gether with the main store.
WHETHER the district schools will
open next Monday is not yet made
public. The Presbyterian, however,
has re-opened with very fine attend
ance. The Sunday school will COM
mence again next Sunday, from the
fact that diphtheria is dying out rap
idly, with only case or two now in
town, and those closely penned in with
no apparent danger of spreading.
WILLARD Q. GREER, one of our
lively citizens, is about to build a
block of houses for rental purposes i'll
the very heart of town. The under
taking has been we'll considered, the
plans fully perfected, and the result
cannot but be profitable.

pears in the columns of THE DISPATCH
to-day. says that he hos not lost sin
gle case of diphtheria during the recent
scourge, nor has any of his patients
