The regular quarterly conference of the
Box Elder stake was held Sunday and
Monday. AL of the meetings were well
attended. Visitors from all parts of the
county were present. 1t is quite apparent

regular ongregation. President w. Wood

Seymour Z. Young were in attendance and
gave some good counsel and advice.

The opera house presents very busy
scene. Carpenters are busy finishing uL
the stage, getting scenery ready, putting
chairs down, while the painters are put
ting on their finishing touches. The ap-
pearance Of the inside will be rather sur.
prising to the majority of the people OF
Brigham and vicinity, after being accus
toned to small stages, hard seats, home
| painted scenes, ETC. When they walk into
the opera house aud behold the change they
| will be DeWildered.
We do not want to be thought egotisti
cal, but take pride in saying that we now
have an opera house larger and better fur
nished than towns several times larger than
Brigham have We will not be compelled
to go to Ogden, Logan, or elsewhere to wit
ness good performance, as we have {
house, and we also have the people who ap
preciate good performance, and are will
ing to pay, as is witnessed by the Gilmore
engagement.
Most of our merchants report business
fair and signs of increasing trade TOWARD
the holidays. Our produce shipments ar
not az large now as they were few week
ago. Most of the green fruit is gone, bu
plenty of dried is still on the boards.
We have had our large strawberries
cherries. apricots, plums, peaches, apples
etc., and now our large spuds are maxim
their appearance. The Reeder farm raise
some very large pumpkins, one weighe
112 pounds, another Ill pounds, and other
within few pounds of the above weight
Who can beat that!
