pany would have been short of stock
many times the past summer had it
not been for the number of fat cattle
shipped or driven from this corner of
the state. One herd of 300 head was
brought in from the range in the
northwestern part of the county this
fall. The large range herds are fast
vanishing and the worlds meat supply
must soon come from the farmers pas
lures and stalls, and the progressive
farmers of Box Elder county are grad
ually accommodating herds of cattle that
are now and viii continue to line their
pockets with gold
HEAVY FRUIT SHIPMENTS
We believe the shipments of fruit
from this county the past year will
exceed those of any other county in the
state. The records of the express COM
pany show Brigham City to be the
heaviest express station in the state,
and other points in the county, as VIII
lard and Corinne are constantly ship
ping fruits and vegetables. Nine hun
dred cases OF strawberries per day and
about 800 OF peaches is the rate at
which they are sent out from the sta
ton at Brigham.
Strawberries were on the market
about the LIST of June from the beds on
the sunny south Slope continuing until

Then there is a second crop from the
earlier beds, which ripen in October,
but there are not enough of these for
shipping.
All varieties of peaches are produced
in and adjacent TO Brigham City and
Willard. The earliest ones this year
were ripe the last of July and the
luscious fruit remained in the market
until the last of October. The ship
ments reached SEQ cases per day, but

last fall, and the continued good price
this year, has placed many thousands
OF dollars in the possession of the farm
ers OF this county. Seven hundred and
nifty thousand bushels of wheat is the
estimated yield for this county this
year by those familiar with the cues
ton. This was from fields of five to
500 acres, both on dry and irrigated
lands Encouraged by the success of
this season, the farmers are increasing
their acreage for next year as much as
possible, many now having 400-acre
fields of fall wheat all up six inches
high and other land ready for seeding
in the spring. Most of this grain has
been marketed at Corinne and Collin
ston and it has been a common, every
day sight to see 10 wheat teams wait
ing their turn to unload at the cars
or warehouses in either of these towns.

Box Elder soil. and its verdant green
and fragrant pink bloom are to be seen
on every hand in patches from the size
of a city lot to the 1000-acre field of the
Bear River Canal company. Three
crops Of hay and in many cases four
have been cut this year. a yielding of
two and one-half to three tons per acre
a conservative estimate of this hay
product for this year would be 10000
acres at seven tons to the acre or iQ,U01
tons, which has been readily sold at

oWs of the county are great producers
of seed. Fifteen cars avera ging q, 900
pounds each, of this, will be produced
and marketed from this county this
season.
Many other grains, as oats, barley,
rye and buckwheat, have been grown
in lesser quantities, but their total
value would add quite a sum to the
grain products of the county.
SHEEP AND WOOL.
If Grover Cleveland was ASHAMED
to look a sheep in the face it was well
fer him that he did not travel through
this county, for they, like ''Utah's best
crop" are to be seen on every hand.
We believe in the old saying. whist
ling girls and bleating sheep are the
best property a man can keep The
number of sheep assessed this year was
1881; value, $2o9, 7S0. Now, it is safe
to say that all the sheep were not as
sessed. We believe it is safe to say
that the flocks that range over Box
Elders rolling surface number $50, 900
head; and they have yielded four
pounds of wool each, or a total of
10000 600 pounds.
The good prices for mutton in the
eastern market has induced many of
the sheep owners of this county to re-
duce their flocks to the minimum and
sell everything that was marketable.
The heaviest shippers were J. M. Jen-
sen and son, and they sent out 10000
head and with those shipped by indi-
viduals the total would amount to
rs 600 head.
While the past season may not have
witnessed a great increase in the num-
Der of sheep in this county, it has seer
a great deal of improvement in the
quality or grade, for the sheep owners
! are beginning to realize that it is quail
ity and not numbers that counts in
the profits from sheep, both for WOO
and mutton. During this year both
rams and ewes of the best breeds have
been imported, singly and in 1ocks, ur
to 500, and one enterprising breeder is
now negotiating for flock of 100t
head.

RESIDENCE AND BUSH
BUILDINGS.

Almost every town in the county has
been improved by new buildings, either
business or residence. and in MANY
cases, by both. Two new stores at
Collinston, four at Brigham City, and
so on throughout the county. Many
new residences in Brigham City,
Corinne, Willard. Three Mile, Bear
River City, Mantua and upon the farms
in all parts of the county. And these
We're built in most cases, with wealth
already acquired, not upon borrowed
money. The rebuilding of the stake
tabernacle at a cost of $1,000 was I'M
ished the first of this year. So we may
safely conclude that the year has been
a prosperous and progressive one for
this county. The accumulation of
wealth in agricultural or horticul-
tural sections is hardly perceptlble,
but it is sure and steadfast. And so
sure as the winters SHOWS come and
the sunshine of next summers sun fol-
lows, giving seed time, ripening and
harvest, and the increase of f1ocks and
herds. Just so sure is the future pro-
gresS and prosperity of the people Oh
this county. And when the farmer, the
horticulturist and the stocilman are
prosperous then the merchant, the
manufacturer and the banker is pros
porous. The progress and increase
during the year '97 has been wonderful,
but the next five years will see more
advancement than have the past ten,

The tannery is situated at the base

BIG BOX ELDER.
Her Wealth and Her Products Are Measured in Mil
lions

Box Elder which is the northwest
ern county Of the state, has kept pace
with all other counties in its progress
and advancement for the year 1897 In
all its varied industries there has been
growth and progress. The cattle, sheep
and horses that Craze over its Verdant
hills and grassy plains have increased
in numbers and value. The acreage
of its grain fields, orchards meadows,
gardens and vineyards has been great
~ multiplied and the volume OF pro-
ducts from these has grown to immense
proportions. This county has never
been afflicted by a BOOM" but with
the ever increasing toll of the farmer
and hOrticulturalist, has had a steady
and healthy growth, and while the lar
ger cities have been recuperaGiuC dur
ing the past year from the effects of
recent booms BOX Elder county has
gone forward in its ceaseless march to
wealth and prosperity.
Much of the area of this county has
been considered worthless on account
of lack of water for irrigating, but
with new canals and reservoirs which
have been and are being constructed,
this disadvantage is being overcome
and new lands thrown open for settle
ment.
MANY NEW SETTLERS.
During the past year more families
have moved into the county to occupy
and possess these lands than ever be-
fore. They have come from Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dako-
tas Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri Colo
RADIO and many other states They
have came in single families and COO
MES, buying from ten to ten thousand
acres OF land and going right to work
clearing off the sage brush, plOwin. the
fields, planting trees, building houses
and transforming the desert waste into
productive farms and orchards. The
scene of the greatest growth is the
Bear River valley, which is watered by
the great Bear river canal. This valley
is IS miles long, and an average of ten
miles wide and this vast extent of ir-
rigated land is fast being brought
under cultivation. Besides this, in
every valley and settlement new soil
is being first turned by the plow, so
that the actual increase in acreage is
almost beyond comprehension. The
county is ia miles IN extreme length
and "a miles in extreme width and has
an area equal to 10 by IS miles, or APIS
square miles. If but one-tenth of this
can be cultivated we have nearly three
million acres Of land. What a vast
population this would support.

THE NEW CODE.

The completion of the codification of
the laws is very important thing
which marks the year. The code COM
mission, composed of Messrs. R. w.
Young, Grant II. Smith and w. A. Lee,
have been very busy with the work for
nearly two years, and the result is a
goodly proportional volume just issued
from the press.
The duties of the code commission,
as prescribed by legislative enactment,
were as follows:
ITO revise and codify all the laws of
the state; rewrite and divide them into
appropriate parts and sections; insert
all amendments, omit all parts repealed
or obsolete, or of a local or temporary
character; to transpose words and SEN
fences, arrange the same into sections
and paragraph and number them;
change the phraseology and make any
and all alterations and amendments
necessary to improve, systematic, and
harmonic the laws and make them
conform to the constitution"
The work of the commission was sig
nally satisfactory to the legislature,
since that body, at its recent session.
enacted the code bill substantially as
prepared by the commissioners. The
provisions concerning elections, schools,
state lands, etc, were passed as separ-
ate acts, and given earlier effect, but
these are incorporated in the new vol
ume. Since adjournment of the legis-
lature the commission has been en-
gagged in preparing the laws for pubH
cation.
The work of the commission has been
done very thoroughly. The adoption of
the code which goes into effect on Jan.
1 will make considerable changes in the
mode of procedure and otherwise which
will take little time to get accustomed
to. The more important of the changes.
are as follows:
A new act on adoption; an act pro-
viding for assignments for the benefit
of creditors; providing for the destruc
ton of diseased animals; restrictions on
the admission of attorneys, and prOvid-
ing for an attorneys lien; providing
for the fling, renewal and foreclosure
of chattel mortgages, and for the mort
gaging of exempt property with the
consent of the wife; the repeal of all
special municipal charters, and the en-
actment of a general law for the in
corporation Of cities and towns;
amendment of the law providing for
the formation of private corporations;
restrictions on private and corporate
banks; regulations concerning insur-
ance companies; providing for a state
bank examiner and for the examina-
ton of building and loan associations,
insurance companies and loan, trust and
guaranty associations; providing for
railroad rights of way, leases, rates,
preferred stock, etc.; new descriptions
of county boundaries; amendment Of
the county government bill; requiring
cities and counties to publish itemized
reports annually; providing that the
district court shall hold three terms a
year in each county; additional provis-
ions concerning courts; amendment of
election law, including the substitution
of office registration for house to house
canvass; a new form of ballot; abolish
ing the numbering of ballots; prohib-
