Tramps broke into freight train on
Thursday at Springville and secured
few neckties. Several suspicious
characters have been arrested as the
guilty parties.
II half the hopeful rumors that fill the
air are true, this ought to be, in a
material sense at least, glorious year
for Utah. Powerful new railroad
organizations ars being formed, and ex-
tensions in many directions are pro-
iected. New and marvelously rich
strikes OF royal ore are being made in
every mining camp from the Idaho line
TO the boarders of Arizona and Nevada.
The eyes of home-seekers and capitalists
all over the country and the world are
being turned to the fertile valleys and
.exhaustless bonan2as of the God
favored Holy Land, and prospectors and
experts from every region of the globe
are hocking in to see for themselves
whether the stories they have heard Of
boundless riches and possibilities are
lbottomed on the truth.-Utahniau.

ship of Bro Enoch Salt, and received
much praise from all present. Too
much cannot be said of the way in which
the Saints and Elders laboied together
IN decorating the chapel and making
the conference success which all
present pronounced it TO be. The
interior of the building was beautifully
decorated with everereens and holly
aboughs, and dotted here and there with
punches of natural roses anu lilies
which the saints had secured especially
dor the occasion, and the ground on the
outside covered with snow caused one
to imagine while entering the building
that he had been Transmitted from a
land of winter into one of sunshine and
flowers.
