Andrew Jensen of the Second ward,
met with a painful accident out al
ouckville, Wednesday. He was shoot
ing ducks when it occurred. He load
ed his gun, but there was not enough
powder to blow the load out. So he
put another load in the gun for the
purpose of blowing out the old load.
The barrels burst. a piece of the bar
rel was blown through Andrews left
hand, making an ugly wound. He
rushed to town and procured prompt
surgical attention and is now doing
nicely.-Brigham Bugler.

Our correspondent Cleaner" writes
from Honeyville:
On Saturday night meeting was
held for the purpose of considering the
feasibility of making a reservoir and a
committee was appointed to select a
site. About half a mile east of town
there exists large depression, which
with d little labor can be made to hold
an immense volume of water, and ow-
r.
be no possibility of a flood at any
time. For at least half of each year
the water from the mountain streams
could flow into the reservoir. while by
making a few bitches much of the
snow water could be saved. Thus a
vast amount of water that now runs
TO waste could be conserved for use
during the irrigation season. Negotia-
tons for the purchase of the site will
probably soon be entered into. This
movement on the part Of our citizens
is highly commendable and should not
be permitted to fail into allegiance

At $50 o'clock Thursday morning the
Z residence Of Louis Halvorson, of
Hyrum, caught fire and was almost
totally destroyed Mr.. Halvorson is
very poor man with a large family of
small children, and the loss Of his
home falls heavily upon him. He is
also unfortunate in having, through
being buried under a snowslide in
Blacksmith Fork canyon for thirty
hours many years ago, nearly lost his
sight. Mr.. EIalverson has the respect
and sympathy of the good people of
Hyrum. who will undoubtedly come to
his rescue in his hour of need. There
was no insurance on the house-Logan

Brigham City's population is exactly
3.002. Statistician NJ. NJ. Jensen COM
pleted the count Thursday. There are
$50 foreign born. In 1891 Brigham's
popula tion was 1850. This shows an
increase of 652, over 20 per cent, in
four years. That is a gratifying show
ing sure. Brigham's growth is both
Steady and rapid.-Bugler.
Tacoma is EXPERIENCING some of the
ilis that follow the control of the city
water supply by private individuals.
a water famine in that city is now
impending. And yet there are ''patri-
OTIS" in this city who favor letting the
control of the city water pass from the
ali;y.-Herald.
We are told that a few such indi-
viduals are also found in Brigham
City. Should private corporation get
their hands on Brigham's waterworks
but would charge the city at least $25
"A year for every one of the dozens of
street hydrants. This would run I'D
into the hundreds of dollars each year
Numerous other reasons could be cited
why the city should retain control of
all such public nterprises.-Brigham
Bugler.

IF natural gas is worth piping ten
miles to Salt Lake city, it certainly
ought to be worth piping one mile to
Brigham City. 1t appears as if in

out again. This should never be-

We would like to see the confisca-

those who would take from him his

The newspaper editors should always
remember the discussions at the last
meeting of the Utah Press association.
Personal journalism that stoops to mud
throwing is not tolerated in Utah. Our
association is above such barbaric
practices The day for patriotic journal
ism has arrived IN Utah and the paper
that attempts to lower the standard
will not be upheld in its groveling

Last Sunday evening while President
GoNans was address ing the meeting
the noise in the back end Of the meet
ing house became so great that Mr.
Gowans was compelled to give way to
the band of young hoodlums for a few
moments. It seems to be getting worse
all the time. and if it continues people
will not care to go to meeting, where
rothing can be heard but lot of this
class of Tooele'S would-be smart
Youths. These boys are well known to
those in authority, and why they are
allowed inside the meeting house, in
fhe evening especially, is mystery. /
