CABLES OF THE WORLD.

CABLES OF THE WORLD.
No Atlantic cable runs directly to
New York City at the present time.
Most of the transatlantic lines land
in the neighborhood of Nova Scotia or
Newfoundland. The messages are re-
transmitted by a coast line to the me-
tropoliS. The interval of time required
in the retransmission is not one sec
ond, for the operators read the mes
sages letter by letter as they arrive
and send them over the coast cables in
stantly. The new French cable to be
laid next year will, however, have its
terminus directly in New York City.
1t is expected that the competition thus
engendered will greatly enhance the
general service. The coming congress
sional agitation over the installation
of Pacific cable will also revive inter
est in a scheme which must quicken the
general process of civilization. The
certainly receive a further impetus
when this cable is laid. The whole
East, in fact, will be benefited, and in
our foreign commerce. Al
ready there are over / 900 cables lying
under the sea and the various water
courses of the world They aggregate
over one and a quarter million miles
of cable line. A large feet of steamers
and an army of men are kept busy
laying and repairing them, so that al
together the cable industry is large
business in itself, even aside from the
messages which are sent over the cable
wires.

so, using their best judgement, and
he had no fault to find with any
action that had been taken.
Thomas Judd explained the work
that had been done, up to the
present time, and he was in favor
of going ahead at once and bring
this water into this city, without
foult-fnding as to what had been
done in the past.

not delaying the 1uatter,-S. L.

Mr.. Whitehead offered the

Council in the securing of the water
and the work done by them, and
also the present Mayor and council
in the steps they have taken to-
wards bringing the water to this
city" Seconded and carried unan-

by our brethren and knew they
were true. Said we must have
faith and works 60 together. We
must believe in the Bible, book of
Mormon and Doctrine and Cow
enants for they are the words of
God and we should follow the in
structions contained therein. God
has spoken to us direct in these
days, and we should keep the
commandments of God. Men who
think they can trife with God will
be deceived; and they that think
themselves the servants of God
and have not his priesthood, will
be deceived. We have the Holy
Priesthood and the power to act in
the name Of the Lord and we are
responsible for the use we make
of it. Spoke of how God dealt
with his covenant people anciently,
both at Jerusalem and also on this
continent, and how he pleased
them when they kept his command
ments. Spoke of the Nephite
Prophets, how they prophesied
that Christ would be born, and
when and how the words of those
prophets were fulfilled to the very
letter. How the signs spoken Of
the birth and crucifixion Of our Sa-
vior-came literally to pass, and
of the calamity that came upon
them for their Disobedience. Also
how the Savior came to the people
on this continent and they listened
to him and he blessed them and
they prospered, when they kept
the commandments of God. Gave
much other good instructions in
regard to teaching our children and
doing tho will of God.

The Cottonwood
wAtor.

Meeting of citizens was held on
Monday evening at the tabernacle,
when the reports of the council
and citizens who visited the cotton
wood water district, were heard,
councillor Jarvis Stating the route,
now selected was higher up than
the old one and much better.
Horatio Pickett stated that the
route they had chosen they
thought, was free from plaster of
paris. There were good sites for
building reservoirs on the route.
Thought as much water could be
brought in, as there Is in both
streams now supplying our city.
Councillor John G. McQuarrie
stated that between $1,000 and
$4,000 had already been expended.
On account OF SO much plaster of
paris, the old route gave nothing
but disappointment. The new
route will be about A miles to
Washington hollow and from there
it will be an easy matter to bring
it to st. George. The stream now
running is about 200 inches, but
in summer there is from 800 to
400 inches, and does not COM
mence to fall short until August.
The plan Of the city council was to
pay for labor, in water scrip,
redeemable in water after it is
brought in. The work would be
laid out in sections and let in
contracts.
In answer to ID. III. Cannon,
Mayor Brown said that the city is
now owing about So. 200, and that
there had already been expended
about $5.4O0 altogether.
QJos. Orion claimed, that the
people who had done work were
entitled to compensation for work
done and lost, as we'll as the city.

such faith in our children, and
thought we should encourage this
faith in them.
Horatio Pickett said he was
thankful that he was considered
worthy to be called upon to speak
to the people and partake of the
sacrament with his brethren and
sisters. Spoke of man who is
not of us, who had formed an
opinion that Mormonism was
doomed, as our children were
degenerating, for he can see the
youth breaking the sabbath and
profaning the name of the Deity,
and doing many other things we
should not, which we know to a
great degree is too true. We
should take our children with us
to meeting, and see that they are
where they should be, and not
leave them without the cara they
should have. Showed that the
signs Of the second coming Of our
Savior is near at hand and we
should live in a way that wa may
be worthy and ready to meet him.
