The bursting of a reservoir dam near
Beaver brings to the minds of the peo
pie of Utah the necessity for having
such dams constructed in the most ap-
proved manner and OF the best ma
terial. This dam may have been SO
constructed; OF that we know nothing.
The prospects are that the state is
about to enter upon an era CT reservoir
building. Reservoirs VIII allow of the
reclamation of lands that are now use
less and viii make settlements and
farms where none are at present pos
sible Yet if they are not constructed
properly and maintained in perfect re-
pair they are a great source of dan
ger, especially in the spring, when the
waters are high. There is scarcely a
more destructive agent than a large
body of water coming from a mount
ain fastness and rushing through vii
lagos and farms. Hence the necessity
for the greatest care in building reser-
voirs.

The Trlns-M Mississippi congress is
attracting attention and meeting with
encouragement. The st. Louis Republic
says the objects sought to be attained
by the congress are those of securing
such national legislation as is calcu-
lated to promote the business inter
ests and development of the resources
of the states and territories lying west
Of the Mississippi river; to increase
reciprocal trade among them; to dis
cuss such questions as are naturally
suggested by its objects; to cultivate
acquaintance, fraternal feeling and
hearty co-opsra ion among the various
commercial bodies represented" The
Republic says it IS certainly desirable
for st. Louis and the state of Mis-
souri, to be we'll represented at such q
gathering. The basis of representation
provides for the appointment of ten
delegates by the governor of the state,
one delegate by the mayor of each
city. and an additional delegate for
ever 1000 inhabitants, provided, how
ever, that 10 city shall have more than
ten delegates; each county. one dele
gate; every business organization, one
delegate, and an additional delegate for
every so members, provided, however
that no such organization shall be en-
titled TO more than ten delegates. The
Missouri delegation should be a large
and influential one. In order that 1t
may be SO, the early appointment of
delegates is advisable, as recommended
by Mr.. H. r. Whitmore of st. Louis.

She Was Prepared.

Dundee Times: A certain minister al
ways felt it to be his duty to give each
young couple a little serious advice be-
fore he performed the marriage cere-
mony, and for this purpose he usually
took them aside, one at a time, and talked
very soberly to each of them regarding
the great Importance of the step they
were to take. and the new responsibilities
they were to assume. One day he talked
in his most earnest manner for several
minutes TO p young woman who had
come to be married to a bright looking
young man.
And now. he said. in closing, Il hope
you will fully realize the extreme i'm
portance of the step you are taking. and
that you are prepared for it,
prepared she said, innocently. "Well.
If I amt prepared 1 don't know who is.
I've got four common quilts and two nice
ones, and four brand-new feather beds.
ten sheets and twelve pairs of pillow
slips. four all linen table clothes. a dozen
spoons and a good siX-quart tea kettle.
If 1 amt prepared no girl in this coun-
try ever was.

up your hands, or will kill you "
Thorburn at first thought it was joke,
but soon changed his mind, as he was
then convinced that it was for robbery
so, having in his hand coal oil lamp,
he threw the lamp in the mans face,
when the man went off. Thorburn,
being in the dark, wanted to find bis
