BRIGHAM CITY, Aug. 1O.-The
Sunday schools of this county had a
grand excursion TO Saltair Tuesday. 1t
was an immense affair, between 900
and 1000 men, women and children
participating. 4 special train consist
ing of eleven coaches carried the
crowd down TO the lake early in the
evening. Everyone had q jolly good
time. The excursion was gotten up by
County Superintendent o. W. Snow.
The amount netted will go a long way
toward replenfshing the Sunday school
Golfers.
Last Saturday the Republicans of
Box Elder county met in Brigham
City for the purpose of reorganizing
the central committee. There was but
a slim attendance, very few of the
outside precincts being represented
Chairman Kirk resigned and John T.
Rich was selected as his successor
no doubt TO captain the Republican
county bark into the smashing reefs
next November.
Monday the summer school for the
teachers Of Box Elder county was
Whiting of the University of Utah and
Professor n. L. Nelson of the Provo
B.. Y. academy are the instructors.
There are between forty and fifty
school teachers in attendance. The
summer school, which will continue
one month, seems to be doing a good
work. The nightly lectures under its
auspices are much enjoyed by the cit
tzenS- of the town.
Last week an insignificant little Gig
arctic caused about a $1,000 fire in
Brigham City. While unloading hay
in his barn, James Jensen let a few
live sparks fall from his cigarette and
away went the structure and nearly
everything contained therein, includ-
ing machinery, harness and two val
liable live hogs with filters of little
pigs. The insurance on the whole was
$500.
S H Higginbothem died up on Par
adise creek, in the mountains east of
Brigham, Sunday. The gentleman was
from Ogden, from which place he went
into the mountains in search of health.
Sunday he grew worse and William
Cortez, a young bicyclist, mounted his
wheel about midnight and rode over
hill, down dugways and through val
leys, a distance of twenty-five to
thirty miles, to Brigham City for a
doctor. But the patient died about the
time the doctor arrived. The remains
were taken home to Ogden.
L. H. Pierce. of Salt Lake City, oc-
cupied the pulpit at the regular tab
ernacle services last Sunday afternoon.
The gentleman was up from the cap
ital on a brief visit with his family,
who are recuperating in Brigham for
a few weeks.
A fire at Willard this week burned
down large barn owned by Daniel
Woodland. Five horses were roasted
alive in the flames. One was a stall
lion valued at over $780, The loss is
estimated at about $1,000. Exact
amount Of insurance could not be
learned, but it is said to be over $500.
Reservoirs for Brigham City are be-
ing talked up now with some show of
definite steps being taken in the right
direction. The city council recently
went up into the mountains east of
Brigham and located a splendid site
about eight or nine miles from town.
A practical engineer will lay off the
ground and it is expected that work on
at least one reservoir will be started
soon and completed this fall in time
to store up water for next year. Good
reservoirs will be the means of doub-
ling the population of the town and
trebling the fruit crop within a few
years.
The Republicans have started an
other fall campaign sheet here. For
the past three years they have started
one each year and after election let
them die a good, slow, natural death.
1t is limited that one Trumbo has a
finger in the pie this whack.
