A TANGLED WEB.

TnE University project in Ogden

the foreclosure Of mortgages which

r.. r. Slosell, who sold tho mortgage
TO Juseph Clark. The land was suisse
quentiy sold by Swan and his wife to
r.. a. Barry, who sold II to a. G. Fisk
Of Denver. Notes were given Ia those
transactions secured by three mortgages
ON the property for sums aggregating
about 500, 900. These severally came
into possession Of Ogden hanks and
firms and they eudeavorod to foreoiose
the second mortgages. But mean.

HOP.RiIsING IN TnB UNITED
STATES.


a cENsus bulletin relating 10 hops,
gives some Interesting particulars. In
1850 $4,000, 900 pounds were grown on
51,OOOao ofland In seventeen States.
New York stands flrst with 90,OO0.0OO
pounds, Washington next with 5000.
900, California With 100000, Oregon
100000 and Wisconsin s2,5iI.
These live States produced 0o.is per
cent Of the entire crop VI the United
States The value Of the crop for 1851
was si,OOO,OOO. The crop Of 1900
amounted to nearly 100000 pounds,
and though less than that OF 1859, was
worth ii,1O5, 49l. This IL due 10 the
fact that the average price Of hops 10
1850 was only ten cents pound, while
Ia 1890 1t was over thirty cents.
The hop plant was introduced into
America about two hundred aud
fifty years ago. In colonial times
It's cultivation was encouraged by
legislation. However, Il did not
become classified as an article Of com.
merce until after 1900. About 1880 II
began to figure la market reports.
Hop-yarda and plantations were soon
established. Ia 1870 about 400, 900
pounds were raised, In 1850 treble this
amount was produced. The increase
from then became gradual until In
1850 the product exceeded $4,000, 900
pounds. During the last ten years
the price Of good hops has fiuctuased
between 10 cents aud 81 per pound.

ducts grown IA the United States, In.
GLIDING corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley,
tobacco, hay, tice, cotton, sugar,
potatoes, otc., the proportionntc In.
crease Ia quantity and value for tho
last forty years is far greater for barley

manufacture Of malt liquors, than for

A TINE or DANGER.

THE DRIFT Of the age Is strongly in
the direction Of dlabolism. No intelll-
gent observer can paruso tho daily
record Of crime rs presented ia the
public journals without reaching this
conclusion. A large proportion OF the
deeds exhibited on the current criminal
record are harbarous and re-.
voting. This is wicked genera.

worse. Acts which would, flity years

WE'RE THE CONTINENTS ORIGIN.
ALLY ONE LANDg

TIE Idea that the "dry land"
which, by the Divine fiat, was made
~ "appear' soon after the first ages Of
creation, was In one body, has long been
entertained by prominent teachers
among the Enormous" while this
may perhaps not DO an established
tenet OF the Church, II IL the view that
has been commonly held and We be-
lieye remains undisputed.
tits also thought that the continents
that have been formed by the eepara.
ton or division OF the great mass Of
"dfy land" will be reunited In "the
restitution Of all things" and that the
lands Will thus be "marfied," the
rough places be made smooth, the
crooked places straight, aud all things
he restored as at the first when Deity
pronounced them every good"
In support OF the latter belief we
have something definite Ia the revela-
tlons Of God to the Church. Speaking
Of .te coming OF Messiah, the Doctrine
and Covenants, section 1873, V. MES,
ssys:
"And no shall u,tor his V oice out Of
Zion, and he shall speak from Jerusalem,
and hls voice shall be heard among all
people.
"Aud Il shall bo n voice as OF the voice
81 many waters, and as tho voice Of q
great thunder. which shall break down
tho mountains, and tho valleys shall not
DO found;
"lIo shall command the great deer, aud
Il shall DO driven back into the north
countries, aud tho islands shall become
one land,
"And tho land OF Jerusalem and the
land Of Zion shall DO turned back into
their own place, and tho earth shall be
like as Il was In the days before 1t was
divided.
and tho Lord, even tho Savior, shall
stand In the midst " his people aud shall
reign over all flesh"
All this Ia familiar to students Of
"AIormon" doctrine, and we should
not allude TO 1t now hut for the fact
that in this, rs In many other features
