house today at p. m.
Mrs. Barnes has been a resident of
Kaysville for upwards of thirty years,
having emigrated to Utah from her Eng
fish home in 1864. Naturally of a quiet,
reserved and unassuming disposition the
chief pleasures of her life centered in
the associations of the home which was
blessed and made happy by her pres
ence. She was a true woman, and
though blessed with but one child of her
own; she lavished mothers affections
upon the children of her husbands

charge family of six.
During the illness which terminated
in her death, she was surrounded by
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
she was stricken, and loving hands
spared no pains to alleviate her suffer-
ings, but IN face of all she slowly sank
lower and lower until her spirit quilted
its earthly tabernacle and scared to its
future home in the realm of love.
She was slightly over 60 years of age,
and she leaves a son, George w, and a

Hon. John r. Barnes, weak though he
is from his protracted sickness, has
passed through the ordeal of his wife's
death with remarkable fortitude.

A RESERVOIR MIDDLE.
The committee that was appointed to
superintend the construction of the dis
trict No. reservoir have met a serious
obstruction at the very outset. and they
have been compelled to stop long enough
to remove or surmount it. They have
discovered that what was predicted by
advocates of the reservoir about the
rapid advances in the prices of property
on the new survey if the Improvement
was made. has verify come to pass IT
isn't the property that will be benefited
by the reservoir that has gone I'D in
price, however: land values in that sec
ton of the city are about normal, but up
at the reservoir site is the favored spot.
The members of the committee were
startled when they undertook to pur-
chase the necessary land wherein to con-
struct the reservoir, and they found that
barren. unproductive and almost worth
less side hills. for which $25 an acre
would be an exorbtant price. had sud-
owner demanded 500 an acre for it, with
certain other concessions that would be
of advantage TO himself. They declined
to pay such a sum- and there the matter
rests for the present.
Mr. Swan, chairman of the committee.
says that one acre of the land In cues
ton in the bottom of the hollow might
he worth 800. but that would be stretch
ing its value to the very limit The other
three acres or so are in his judgment
rot worth over IS an acre He has Of
Tered to compromise with the EEner' John
Ellison ct SIS an acre, and when that
was refused he stopped negotiations and
began reading law on the question.
ii is not improbable that condemnation
proceedings will he resorted TO by the
CITY to acquire a title to the land A
special meeting of the city council has
been called for next Tuesday afternoon,
and the matter will be considered. 1t is
boned that an amicabl settlement OF
the matter can be made ard that no SUIT
at law may be necessary.

LET IT COME.
If is to be hoped that the Hot Springs
road will extend its line to Ogden this
spring. The glad news that such an i'm

the forcible denial of Manager Bamberger
was published. and the way matters stand
now it seems that everything is uncer-
tain Kaysville's travelling public would
welcome the new road If for no other
reason than from the fact that better
rates would follow. Already we are in

duction in the fare to Salt Lake, and
another cut would probably result from
the extension.
