John Henry Smith ct al. are down IN
Sanpete proselyting 9 few to their views
on politics.
In all my travels never had any fears
for any portions of the territory until San
pete is reached where for some unaccount-
able reason we're weak. The wood and
lumber men and quite a number Of the
farmers have the idea that the Republican
idea of protection is not an expensive lux
cry if INDUCED in. 1t behooves the terri
torial committee to go to work, send down
a good corps Of organizers and get clubs in
shape. think organizers will be the most
ffective, especially if coupled with some
good orators to start them of in the
right direction. Those sent recently had
their time too abbreviated to get the
work completed and the local work
ers seem to be little weak, or else
backward hence the somewhat fragile
condition of Democracy in the county.
The chairman OF the Manti club has issued
the following call, which will no doubt
stimulate them into more enthusiasm and
induce more rapid action:
To the Democrats OF Sanpete county:
Can We not have a general meeting for the
purpose of entering into county organization:
he time being short. We must do something.
Let US have the courage OF our conyic lions
Report to Ward Stevenson of Sentinel Manti,
at your earliest convenience, so that steps can
be taken in this direction. Take steps i'm
medlately,

Manti and Gunnison held Joint jubilee
on Tuesday on which occasion a most ex-
cellent programme was given consisting of
songs. recitations, speeches, Sunday school
exercises. etc, all showing marked aDil-
ity ana advancement. Messrs. George
Goddard and Levi Richards of Salt Lake
were among the speakers.
The people of Salina enjoyed the first
sight OF a railroad train on Thursday, when
came booming in at about 3 80 p. m. 1t was
met by large assemblage OF citizens, who
most enthusiastically cheered it as sort
OF preliminary to the official opening of the
road next week.
The following telegram was sent to the
Sentinel on the 24th inst:
a couple OF weeks ago Charles Rand an in
dlvidual OF some nOtorlsty around the saloons,
went up the Salina canon lor the purpose of
HIQnl0EUnanf
OF him for some days laler his acQuaintances
began TO wonder what mad become OF him.
Yesterday morning search was instituted. and
resulted IN finding his lfsleSS boay IN the Salina
creek about nfteen miles up the canon
a coroner's jury was Immediately summoned
TO the scene OF the misfortune, where they held
drowning. His remains were inferred here to-
day.
The people were Mortified to learn OF the
affair, as some of them are compelled 10 use the
water from the creek for culinary purposes
The HERALD's reminder that the r G..
w. was retrograding in its service to the
public met with immediate response in the
much improved cars and enough room be-
ing furnished to give every one a seat
1t is asserted authoritatively that by the
18th of July the X. @. w will have broad
gauge track 10 Salina. the grade being so
constructed as to allow the widening of the
track without any other labor but the re-
moyal OF the rails, which can all be done IN
one day without interfering with the trains
in the least. A large force of men will
follow up the train as it leaves Salina and
also Thistle, so no delay will be occasioned
in the least.
1t is rumored that in the south the gov
eminent railroad examiner has condemned
that portion OF the X. G. w. from Price to
Thistle as being unsafe and ordered it to
and grade. This the railroad
will do by closing its main road from Price
through Salins canon, thence
up through the Sewer and Sanpete valleys,
over the Sewer valley branch to Thistle
BY doing this it will cross a rich area of
on the east of Sanpete valley that
would be much more profitable than its
present route.
On July IA, Castella Hot Springs will be
q scene of intellectual and convivial festiv-
ity, it being the occasion of the Utah and
and Salt Lake county teachers summer in
stitute of five days session. The South
worth boys are making preparations to
treat them and their friends royalty. A
new pavilion is being erected in lieu Of the
bowery of last summers use, and those
having terpsichorean desires can fully graf
ify them. The surroundings are such as 10
charm the most fastidious. An interesting
of exercises was issued.
