Rorntifrl Dec. 27-Scarlet fever,
which a week ago was raging IN TINS
neighborhood and had found It's way
into ten families, has relinqulsheo It's
dread hold. Only one little child has
fallen a victim to its awful grasp. Soon
after the fever broke out, Mayor Hol-
brook issued an order which provided
that ali meetings and gatherings Oh
public nature should be discontinued
until the fever subsidized. The pubic
schools suffered most, as they were
compelled to close a week sooner tnan
was intended. The danger is now over
and the goddess Of song and feast
and mirth holds sceptered sway al
hearth and hall.
A representative of the Pioneer Pow
er and Electric company was present
at the last meeting of our city council
The. purpose of his visit was TO secure
8 franchise for the company through
our town No definite arrangements
were perfected. The city fathers very
wisely assert that the company should
provide four lights to be placed IN
prominent parts of the town rms
the company refuses to do. This is the
principal point of difference whlch we
hope will be supplanted by some ami
cable agreement Every enterprising
citizen comedies that electricity for
private and public use would be boon

80 from Bountiful, which, with the
prospective eldsrs, makes a total OF
more than Go in fhe field. If each town
in the county and each county in the
state have a proportionate number

astonishing. Each elder expends from
$500 to $500 outside of this county and
