BOX ELDER BITS.
A Second Crop of Straxberries-
Mountain Being Denu1cd of Tim
ber-Iron Works Meeting Held
Last Night.


Brigham City, Nov. 16.-The total
vote in Box Elder county this year is
unusually large-1, 416. OF this number
Rawlins received 712 and Cannon 7OS,
the Democratic delegate receiving a
majority of s.
One day this week one of Brigham S
strawberry raisers was exhibiting
some ripe berries on the street which
had been taken that day from the
vines in his lot. This second crop of
strawberries is a feather in the cap
Of the climate of northern Utah.
The newly elected Democratic sheriff
for Box Elder county, Richard Davis,
for this responsible position. The re-
firing sheriff, G. c. LoVeland, who, by
the way, has served faithfully for near
ly twenty years, receiving the highest
majority on the Democratic ticket of
any one two years ago, says Davis is
the best man in the county for the po-
sition; and Carl ought to be the best
Judge in the county, too.
L. H. Berg, of this city, is suing in
the district court at Ogden for di-
vorce from his wife. Eliza c. Berg, on
the grounds of desertion.
The Herald's regular Brigham CORE
Darlington article, which appeared in
The Herald of Tuesday, but, it seems,
get credit for it..
Hundreds of cords of fire wood are
being hauled out of the mountains east
of Brigham this fall. Some mornings
as high as 25 or 80 teams go into the
hills. The adjacent mountains have
become so denuded of timber that the
haulers now have to go fifteen to
twenty miles into the canyons before
they can find suitable logs. The people
must have wood to temper the cold
winter nights ahead, but something
should be done. to prevent the despoil-
ing of the mountain forests because of
their invalua bleness to the irrigators.
The Republican headquarters in this
city are silent. dark and gloomy. The
Democrats did not sport the luxury of
a headquarters" Their abode was all
over the county, and that's how they
captured it-they were out hustling in
stead of reclining in easy chairs, toast
ing their shins over a hot stove. There
are mo flies on the Democrats of Box
Elder county; and next fall they will
! make such a fight that it is feared they
will not be able to scare up enough of
the Mckinley persuasion to make
| things interesting in the county
The newly elected justice of the peace
| for Brigham. George r. Chase. has an
addition to his household today.
| Mayor j. D. Peters, for this city, and
Judge II. l.. Steed, for the county, have
called q mass meeting of the residents
of the county to consider the PROPOSE
ton of a. Evans, Jr., to locate his iron
works in Box Elder county near VII
lard. The mass meeting will be held
in Brigham, Saturday night. 1t is I'M
derstood all the bonus Mr. Evans asks
is 100 acres of land near Willard or
which to erect his buildings. A united
effort of the citizens could secure this
enterprise with a very slight outlay
! individually. The land asked for could
probably be purchased for less thar
$4,000. The enterprise would give en-
ployment to 500 men. The iron ore is
conveniently located in the mountain
northeast Of Willard. Box Elder county
should secure this plant at all hazards
The News seems to have repented OF
its attacks upon prominent Democrats
before the election and is trying tC
make reparation by s.ashing it to the
chief Republican organ. Cute, isn't it:
