RumOrs Concerning the Purchase
of the Sanpete Valley Railway.
A Heavy Fall Of Snow Causes the Changers to
Rejoice-Social and Business Events
of Interest.

GLENwooD, Utah, Jan. TCorrespon-
deRce OF The HERALD. The farmer may
now be heard humming Beautiful Snow
with happy smile upon his face, having
the assurance of a considerable supply of
moisture in the mountains for next years
crops. There is something over a foot OF
snow on the ground, with probably four
feet in the mountains, there having not
been more than foot or SO on the high
peaks before our big fall on last Thursday
and Friday. Cattle and sheep men are
somewhat mixed on the matter, as their an
lmals must necessarily suffer some; but the
prospect of plenty OF grass next summer is
assured.
The Rio Grande Western is all the talk.
and people think the old Sanpete railroad
must necessarily go under; but if the
rumors which we hear have any
bottom, it may come out with
lying color5 next summer. We hear that
some of the wool men at Nephi were an
tlclpatlng move to Richfeld, as the nat
uraI center OF the wool business in the
future, but other people Of Nephi more
shrewd than the former, propose forming a
stock company of the moneyed men of
Nephi, Payson, SpringviIle and Provo, and
charter or buy the Sanpete railroad and
run it south, broadening the gauge, so that
the Union Pacific cars could be run on this
new road, and making it citizens road to
all intents, feeder to the sugar factory as
well as wool gatherer. 1t is funny what
dream like shapes rumors will assume
when passing through so many hands as
they often do.
MIR. Baker says that his contract to
carry the mail through Sanpets and
the Sewer will continue four years
more, so The HERALD subscribers
will have to troll overt and take another
little nap before they will be able to realize
their happy dream of having twenty-four
hour mail from Salt Lake, unless, indeed
this last division of the rumor should ma
terialize.
| believe the scheme of putting through
citizens road would find some support in
our county and those adjacent.
RIcHFIELD is MAKING SOME MOVES
to help on the Rio Grande Western into the
Sewer valley, and when such is realized. /
am sure this part of the territory will be a
favorite home for people seeking pleasant
places to dwell, as it is certainly far ahead
of any other part, the winters being yerv
short and extremely pleasant and the sum
mers are never uncomfortably warm. with
refreshing breeze every evening and
morning, besides a great many other natu
raj advantages.
We hear that Richfield will pipe the
water of their warm springs into the town
for domestic use, being most palatable
water to drink when cool, and very free
from any kind of mineral, coming directly
oct of the sandstone lodges west of the
town. The people will also have the new
canal completed, when they will have a
large quantity of water to run all kinds of
machinery; new roller mill is in course of
construction and will soon be ready for &C
tive work.
THE ELsINoRE ROLLER MILLS
have been so overrun with customers that
people have had to wait two weeks for a
turn.
The wedding of William Wall, son of
Joseph L. Wall and grandson of
the late William Wall, was the
GROWING event of the holidays at Glen
wood, when more than one hundred towns
people and relations from other places sat
down to supper at Mr.. Joseph l.. Wallis
and pleasant dance was enjoyed by as
many more in the evening. The bride is a
daughter of MIR. Mortensen, of Mount
Pleasant. The ceremony was performed
at Manti on the 18th of December, 1890.
Father Henan departed this life and was
buried at Glenwood on the 3lst ult. Mr..
Renan was one of Glenwood's pioneers
when it was the home of the bowling saw
age.
The schools are in full blast again, but
Inadequate to accommodate the almost in
Vulnerable children. VAcARo
