GOOD FOR WYOMING.

OF recent years so many geniuses and
inventors have developed themselves
in this part of the United States that
whenever an invention or discovery is
announced as having been made by a
western mar and is claimed to surpass
anything ever before thought of and
its application in science, mechanics,
or whatever it may be, V i'll astonish the
world, the assertion is generally be-
lieved implicitly, for the simple reason
that the public have not been disap
pointed as yet. 1t is for this reason
that we read the following from the
Evanston Register with a certain
amount of confidence and place it be-
fore our readers as an item OF news.
We hope that the invention proves to
be all that it promises.
BY the courtesy of Hon w. 7. SHAF
FER, our county treasurer. we Wert
shown in his office the other day an in
ventiun that promises to startle the
world and completely revolutionizr
IA lwav locomotion. 1t is nothing less
than the model of railway car and
and roadway of entirely novel
design, which aims to obviate alto
gether or reduce to a minimum the risks
of railway travel and solve forever the
problem of rapid transit. 1t is imp1s-
slble to conceive that a train could be
derailed or that stock or distractions of
any kind could get upon the track.
willie the speed that could be safely at
tanned would as far exceed the present
rate of travel as the lightning eX
press" surpasses the coachand four.
Mr.. SHAFFER has worked upon this in
vpntion for a long time and this week
completed his model, had it photo
graphed by Photographer BAKER and
has sent it to Washington to be pat
pmted. Of course we are not at liberty
to give details or even suggestions as
to the ideas embodied in this novel in
vention, but we venture to say that it
will startle the inventors of the world
and create such commotion III rail
way circles as the century has not seen.

NO CITY LIKE OUR OWN.

Next to a mans family and business,
says a contemporary, nothing should
stand nearer to his heart than the town
i'll which he lives. 1t is his home. II
is the place where he wins his compet-
ence and educates his children. He
wants to make it as populOus, as thirty
and as widely known as possible. He
cannot afford to De Indifferent to any
thing which VIII further these ends. 1t
is true that demands for such purposes
are frequent and that it is necessary to
use some discrimination in choosing
methods, but in a general sense 1t can
be said that town which is not worthy
of the devotion Of its citizens in max
ing it widely known and greatly pros
porous, is town in which it
is not worth while to live at all. West
ern men should remember that such
public service is the penalty OF living
in the ambitious west where the glO-
ries Of civilization are in the future
rather than past. They should not for
get that they are the forefatherS OF this
new empire, and it falls to their lot to
leave legacy rather than to receive
one from other hands. 1t is mistake
for the public to expect a few promi-
nent citizens to perform all the labor
and bear all the expense of such under
takings. Real estate l. not the only in
terest benefited when town is made
famous, populous and therefore pros
porous. Everybody, down to the
man who sells peanuts on the corner, !
feels the pulse-beat of this new develop |
ment. Everybody can therefore afford
to do his share to bring it about. Nor
are the benefits to be measured by the
amount of money obtained in making
1 town known to the world.
There is no wife like our wife. There
ire no children like our children.
There should be no town like our town
the town where we live, the town
whose streets our baby'S footsteps
read, the town where we shall some
lay 81 eep If such Town is worth
nything it is worth all we can do for
t. 1t is worth the full measure of our
devotion, whether We receive an inn
Mediate dividend in dollars and cents
7 whether we merely take our share

GIVE US WATER WORKS.


Public interest seems to to be re-
newed in the Important question of a
system of water works for Provo since
it has been learned that certain eastern
parties are in correspondence with the
mayor and City Council with the view Of
Making propositions to furnish Provo
with this much needed Improvement
So much has been said about water
works, the great benefit and help they
are to a city, that il is almost folly to
repeat any OF the arguments here. We
may add, however, that it is standing
disgrace to a city of Provo's magnitude
and Importance to be without
thoroughly good and efficient system OF
water works. 1t will be disgrace to
Provo if this fall passes over our heads
without some definite and decisive
steps being taken to procure a thorough
and elaborate system of water works.
