In the district named as well az OF Salt
Lake City. Mr. Muir had been super

had done good service for the county.
He understood that an application had
been made for the position by a gen.
tleman who claimed to be n "good

case, he (Mr. Allen) would simply say
that out OF fourteen Liberals In the
district twelve had signed this petit

ABOUT A PEsiTENIIARY DiIcH.
Mr.. T. J. Mackintosh, general freight
and passenger agent Of the Utah Cen.
tml railroad, waited upon the board
with reference to the water OF an
irrigation ditch on the west side OF the
penitentiary which he said ran down
over the rondbed and across the
county road. He mentioned that owing
to this the traffic OF the Rapid Transit
60. was much interfered with some
time ago for about ten days, and con-
siderable damage would yet be- done
unless the matter was remedied.
An order was made calling upon the
rad supervisor Of district II to notify
the penitentiary authorities to carry
the water from the ditch ut the inter.
section Of Twelfth South and Thir.
tenth East.

BULBS home when sold, had siuoe con.
unued TO be such, and was now. Mr.. |
