died today at about u o'clock Her demise
was very sudden and unexpected. She
has been troubled for years with an af-
lection of the heart. At about 1870 today
she was taken i'll and before medical aid
could arrive, her soul had passed to the
great beyond. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of the entire community.
Actual work has not as yet commenced
on the power dam at the mouth of
Provo canyon. The former plans of the
company have been changed somewhat.
and the dam will not be constructed at
the point first selected. New plans have
been drawn and the surveyors are now
at work on them. 1t is stated that men
will be put to work on the dam in about
ten days. A number of men and teams
have gone 10 Ogden from Provo to work
on the Ogden river power dam.

Considerable interest is manifested

game. The general opinion is, that all
bass caught with hook and line ought

force the law and have no revenue to
do it with The following letter is a fair
indication of just how the law before

low me to say a word regarding an as
sertion quoted in your issue of the 18th,
of the proceedings of the senate where
Mr. Booth. also Mr.. Sutherland states
that the price of bass last season was
S9c per pound. Now the price bass was
sold at from Provo to Salt Lake mer-
chants was 12lI cents per pound That
was the 'top-price.' CMessrs. Gibson &
King, of Salt Lake, who are the largest
fish dealers in the city, can testify to
this fact.) | know of instances where 1t
was sold as low as 10c. per pound, SO
hardly credit the assertion that bass was
sold at 9Oc. per pound, the Salt Lake
merchants figuring on from lao to 200
per cent profit, and in case they did, it
is not. the fault of the parties catching
the fish or selling them from Provo. that
the Salt Lake people were charged such;

WHEELS!

To the Editor of The Herald:
Dear Sir-As is well known, Chief of
Police Davenport some time ago made
a request of the fire and police board
for two bicycles, saying that with their
aid one patrolman might be dispensed
with, and the board referred the re-
quest, with a favorable recommends
ton, to the city council The council
referred the matter to committee and
the committee may or may not make
report on the subject tonight. Whether
the wheels are furnished to the depart
ment at this time or not, the request
opens UP a wide range for discussion
and speculation.
That the wheels would prove of great
service to the officers there can be no
doubt Chief Davenport is an expert
enced officer and wheelman and makes
no mistake in making his Recommended
ton In a city where so much area
has to be covered by a few patrolmen
there is no question but that the wheels
would do as much or more than it is
claimed they would do The council
men, if they fail to accede to the re-
quest, will doubtless have good reasons
for the action, but those reasons cannot
be on the ground that the wheels would
not be of great assistance to the police
department Eventually if not now,
the bicycle will find it's way into the
police department of this city, as it al
ready has in that of other cities.
The bicycle is going everywhere. Ev-
cry well-regulated magazine must now
adays have special correspondents go
ing Around the World Awheel"
Across Asia on a Bicycle, Through"
Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico, or some
other country, ION a wheel.
The bicycle has already been tried in
the army and found servicable in trans
hitting dispatches. The postmen are
beginning to ride it, and of the bicycle
in politics we have heard much and
are destined to hear more. Nowadays
the wheel voters factor of some i'm
portance in the calculations of the
ward politician. The influence of this
vote is shown by paragraph taken
from a recent article by New York
Journalist, who says: THE portent of
this vote in Gotham has just extorted
from the commissioner of public works
and from the board OF aldermen, plan
for spending more than million dol
lars to provide bicycle roads in the
city of New York-asphalt pavements,
mind you, connecting the ends of the
city.
I'm other lords, the big granite ring
has been knocked out by the fifteen
pound scorcher safety, which would be
greater cause for municipal self-con-
graduation, if two or three asphalt
rings had not arisen to contest the
field"
This universal adoption of the bicycle
will make ever and ever SO many
things different in ever and ever SO
many ways in years to come. AS the
policeman of the future is to be
equipped with bicycle, the burglar of
the future will have to add a supply of
carpet tacks or broken glass to his kit
with which to cover his trail from pur-

Ii stands to reason that a man would
prefer dispoSing of these fish on our

in taking into account firms from other

of hundreds of thousands of pounds UNI

are here, they are plentiful on Utah

of the state. When the ducks can be had
at all, Ogden, Salt Lake Provo. also
many other cities of the state have

For instance, at the present time we
could hardly dispose of them at any
price in Salt Lake or Ogden, as they
have an over-supply. The ducks we have
here travel through the country from

here would only be protecting them to
