A Bit Of History.

The government Of the United States
was first maugurated IN New York in
1850, but by an act Of congress Phtla-
delphia was made the capital Of the
nation from 1890 until 1900. In 1893
the yellow fever became epidemic in
tais city, and it wac in October Of that
year that the governor Of Pennsyl-
Vania asked the board OF trustees to
accommodate the house OF assembly, and
a similar request for quarters came
from congress. At the November
meeting following, the board protfered
to congress the choice Of the school
buildings. but there is no minute evil
dence to show that congress accepted
the generous offer. At this time
Washington resided in Germantown,
ana the town waa spoken OF as the
government place OF state, and also
of the United States. jefferson, then
secretary Of states, and Randolph, at.
torney-general, occupied the building
some years ago torn down to extend
the site on which the national banR
now stands, at Main street and Schoo
lane. SO, with Washington, Thoma.
Jefferson and John Randolph re
siding in Germantown, it is no
strange that the conclusion should b
formed that congress was in session a
the same time. Although tie Ger
maatown Academy never had the hon
or Of accommodating congress, a fey
years later. in 1798, when the yellow
fever made its appearance again in th
city, the banks Of North America an
Pennsylvania did find a temporar
place Of safety in the old academy

Nature is usually on to her job
but occasionally a mistake is
made. There is just such an oc
currauce when kicker is born.
On entering this mortal sphere
they are dissatisfied and begin to
kick and keep everlastingly at it
until Death comes along with his
sickle and gathers them in. AS
to their future state, we are not
posted but they should be put
where they will not annoy good
people. If there is anything
worse than a kicker it is another
kicker. This is a pretty good
town but we are unfortunate
enough to have some of these
people and we would be pleased
to swap them for good timber.
We do not keep complete list of
these people as such list, even,
would be detrimental to any bus
mess. Arrangements should be
made TO have them take their
dishes and 90 out to the middle of
the great American desert where
they can waste their kicking on
the desert air. They are contin-
ually in the way and if the wheels
of progress run over their toes a
howl goes up fit to make an an
gel weep. They are an enemy
to themselves and to the public
and the sooner they reform or are
placed beneath the sod the better
for all concerned.

1t should be good news to the
people of this district to learn that
the long proposed railway to
Deep Greek will not be built
Salt Lake but will be built west
from Unite where it will connect
with the O. S. l.. AT least that
is what Hon. George Q. Cannon
said about the matter on his re-
cent return from the east. Some
time ago we stated that this was
the best and most feasible route
to that district and it seems the
railway people have come to the
same conclusion, If it is built it
means the opening of large
mineral belt in West Tintic and
in the vicinity of Six Mile in
which many I.ehi people are in
terested and have some promising
prospects. 1t will mean that the
business for Tintic and Deep
Creek will pass through Lehi and
we should secure our share of it.
The vast amount of ore from there
will have to be worked and the
project of mills and smelterS or
the Jordan river will be realized
as it is an ideal location for them
The people of Lehi should watch
with interest the development o.
this scheme and see that we make
the most of the advantages thu:
offered us.

Another scheme has originated
in Provo which will be a great
benefit to the north end of this
county. It's the taking out of a
canal from Provo river which
shall follow along the base of the
mountains to the Point of the
Mountain and furnish water for
hundreds of acres of dry, land
that it will reach. 1t will be a
cooperative scheme, the owners of
the land taking stock to be paid
in work on the canal. 1t will
bring under cultivation some of
the best land in the county and
our benches can be made TO pro-
duce as good fruit and field pro-
ducts as can be found anywhere
on earth.

Next Monday evening at Vermillion
the we'll known German violinist Carl
Riedelsberger will give a lecture re-
cital, under the auspices of the Y. NJ.
c. A. He plays a high class OF music,
but accompanies his playing with a
running commentary regarding the
author, the beauties OF the composition,
its merits as a work of art, etc, thus
interesting the unprofessional nearer
and letting him into the secrets of the
masterpieces. Herr Riedelsberger has
appeared before Vermillion audiences
before, and his recall for this season is
sufficient guarantee that his entertain
ment lie highly appreciated. Several
music lovers will attend from this city.
Whenever the editorial representa-
tive Of The COURIER has appeared in
public places during the past week we
have been accompanied by a nose of a
hue and consistency that violently
suggested what made Milwaukee
famous. Our proboscis has been a
veritable beacon-light Of warning to
every old bum On the street. This has
been especially numiIiating from the
fact that our esteemed contemporary
across the street has been ready on all
occasions to certify that we are a
"Good Dekin'" in good and regular
standing, and the Lord knows they
have all they can carry in their own
political outfit without doing any
tugging at our burdens. In order to
reassure all parties interested we wish
to state that our physician says it is
nothing but bolts, probably due to the
excited condition OF the editorial
stomach in anticipation Of something
to eat on Thanksgiving Day. Gentle
reader, the next time you see that
meteoric display Of nasal disturbance
coming down the street, do not and
hide Is 60 many have done, but STOP
and drop a sympathetic tear as you try
to think how 1t must feel.
