Pioneer day in Kaysville. and the two
wards of Layton have been invited to

and the final number on the days pro-

NOT OPENED YET.
The Weber canyon wagon road is
stiN closed on account OF the bridge
being washed away some two months
ago. 4 contract has been let to Ar
drews Bros Co. for the construction
OF a new and larger bridge, but owing
20 complications that have arisen con-
corning the changing Of the roadway
to the north side Of the river, the work
has not yet been commenced. The pro
posed changing of the road would nee
essitate the building Of the bridge at
the mouth Of the canyon. and until
the court and the railway company
come to some terms Of agreement or
disagreement. nothing Will be done on
the bridge. The Union Pacific people
are understood to be opposed TO the
change and the impression is that
word will come from headquarters at
Omaha, where the question is under
consideration, that they cannot con-
sent 10 the road paraleling their
tracks.
Andrews Bros. company have prof
fered to construct a temporary bridge
within week or so that viii carry
vehicles until the permanent structure
is placed in position.
RESERVOIR COMPLETED.
The District No. 2 reservoir is COM
pleted, and something Ike 100000
gallons of water is stored in it for
purposes of irrigation. The people Of
the new survey are happy over the
success of their venture, and they have
every reason TO be. The increase of
water that will be realized through this
improvement will make the eastern
part of the city a very desirable loca-
ton for homes; the best, perhaps, in
the county.
The dam is magnificent piece of
work. No expense has been spared
that would tend to make it more Sc
cure against the possibility of a wash
out, and competent persons have de-
clared it absolutely safe. The cost Of
constructing the reservoir has been
about 81. 500, and the feeling among the
people who have paid for il is that the
money has been we'll expended. a
great portion of the work has been
done by the property-owners them
selves. and this has made the burden
seem less heavy upon them.
There is now about twenty-three feet
of water in the reservoir. which is an
ample amount TO irrigate the entire
NEW survey two or three times
The work of building the dam has
been in the hands Of a committee ap-
pointed by the city council, consisting
of George Swan, jr., Amos H. bishop
and Seth c. Jones, and these gentlemen
have taken special care TO have the
work done in the very best and most
economical manner. 1t is sufficient TO
say that the people are satisfied
OUR NOMINEE.
Yesterday afternoon word came over
the wire from ogden that Bland had
received the nomination for president,
and Democrats and friends of silver
were felicitating each other on the fact
that silver had won such d Vicory. All
last night and until The Herald
reached here this morning people were
happy in the belief that Silver Dick"
had been successful. When the morn
ing papers came TO hand and II was
seen that instead of Bland that other
Stalwart silver champion, Mr.. Bryan,
had been placed at the head Of the
ticket, there was renewed juhilation
and smiles of satisfaction. Democrats
are universally pleased with the result
of the convention, and those of other
parties who have more regard for prin
ciples than for the hollow mockery of
a party name are equally enthusiastic
in their expressions of approval. Some
few perhaps had rather vote for the
proverbial yellow dog" than Demo-
c1at, but indications now are that
Bryan will receive the support of a.
great many Republicans in this Vicin-
ity.
