JOHN A. LEWIS of this city received
the sad news by wire yesterday
that his father was dying in ST.
Louis. Mr.. Lewis, the elder, has
suffered for years with stomach
trouble. He came to Utah last sum-
mer for his health, visiting for some
months with Johnny here in Provo.
While here he improved nicely and
great hopes have been entertained OF
late that he would live to enjoy a loi G
and useful career yet, as he is not an
elderly man, being but 81 years of age.
Johnny was a favorite with his father
and the son dotted upon the father.
Under all these circumstances it will
be seen that the news was most unex-
pected and most painful. Mr.. Lewis
home is in California. He went to st.
Louis with some race horses traffic in
blouded equines, being the business to
which he has devoted himself for many
years.

by soEle of our home thespians looking

order of the evening and good time
was had.
A. g. EARL arrived from Provo, over
land, on Friday, and the next morning
left for Warm Greek where he has a
ranch. Mr.. Earl is in good spirits over
the era of prosperity which he believes
will come to Provo through the estab-
lishment of the electric power plant
and the coming of the Midland Rail-
road down Provo canyon.-Deseret
Blade--By the way, we are promised
more interesting news concerning the
power plant to be erected in Provo
canyon soon. Ii is expected that actual
construction work will begin right
away after Christmas, at least early in
the new year.
ONE of the colonistS recently located
in Willard county writes to the Blade
as follows: ''Flfty-seven persons are
here, and eighteen stopped at Grand
Junction on account of sickness, but
will come on later. Some are pleased
with the outlook and expect to build
homes, others are undecided. The
colonls5s are mostly from Kansas. a
few are from California. Land has
been selected north of David Crafts.
Crops will be planted the coming season
and should the effort be successful, a
greater number of settlers will come in
the future. The people from Kansas
have lost their crops for two seasons on
account of drouth and are anxious to
try farming with irrigation. We haye
named our colony Sterling, and trust
they will put forth with sterling ef-
fort to build homes and reclaim por-
tion of this beautiful valley from the
sterility of the desert"
