Whatever may he said about the pub
lc.tions OF Rev. lrl 4. Hicks by those
who do not fully understand The facts,
there is no denying the truth that his
paper and Almanac have come to stay.
His splendid journal, WORD AND Works,
is now entering its tenth year largely
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until i; deserves the ma
tional reputation it has attained. His
1897 Almanac is now ready and is by
far the finest and most beautiful he has
yet issued. 1t contains l0S pages, in
Guiding cover artistically printed IN col
ors. and is filed from bsck 10 hsek with
just what is wanted IN every shop, Office
and home in America. One feature of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of l2
original. beautifully engraved star M rps,
with explanatory CHAPTERS, which conld
not be bought for less than fve dollars
in any work on astronomy. AS Mr..
Hicks has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public o: coming droughts
floods. cold waves, billiards., tornadoes
and cyclones, in the years passed. aside
from the other varied and splendid fea-
lures of his paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family To subscribe at once tor
1897. The Almanac is only 25cts. copy.
Word AND WORKS is one dollar year.

smells. All the statements
given out will not smother the
feeling that is being aroused ia the
state against this layout. The Elk
AMINER notes with pleasure that
the regent from this city, Mrs. NJ

have the salaries cut down and n
general oyerhauling made of the
management, but the majority are
against her, and her efforts so far
have been futile.
At the next election, however.
the people will take a hand in the
business, and elect public officials
who will see to it that the uuiver-
sity is not run by one man, and
also that the expense Of the insti.
tuition is cut down to reasonable
figure or no appropriation viii be
forthcoming for its support.

MEEKS FULLY IDENTIFIED
guas one OF three that Rob-
beo our Bank.

A couple of weeks ago three men
held up Mr.. Guild at Fort Bridger
and robbed him of a large sum of
money. Sheriff Ward Of Evanston
was soon on the bandits trail and
succeeded in arresting one of the
party. Surmising that the parties
who held up Mr. Guild were the
same ones who touched the Mont
peliel bank last fall, Sheriff Ward
autographed for A. N. Mcintosh
who is assistant cashier of the
bank, to come to Evanston and
take look at the prisoner he had
in Jail. Bud, in company with
Sheriff Rich, went to Evanston.
As soon as he saw Meeks he iden-
tilted him as being one Of the bank
robbers.
Sheriff Rich remained in the
Unita capital to make arrange
ments to bring Meeks TO this
county.
The officers will attempt to get
the other two aud they will have
chance to do time in Idaho's peni-

The man who thinks the uA-
building of big coal camp on
Hams Fork would be DETRIMENTAL
to this town must be near sighted
indeed. They can't raise anything
up there and all of their farm sup
plies would come from this valley
and for the most part through the
business houses of this city. Five
thousand people up there would
mean thousands of dollars for our
merchants and we hope to see a
town Of that size built on Hams
Fork as quickly as possible.
