COMMERCIAL STOCKS.

Nothing could better illustrate the
steady growth Of prosperity which has
come to Utah during 1899 than a COM
parlson between the value Of her stand
ard dividend paying stocks on Jan. LIST,
1882 and at the close Of the year. The
ownership Of her main commercial
stocks had prior to this year been In
a limited number OF hands, and gen.
orally the list OF names on the books
OF one institution would be found du-
pllcated on another. The present
year has seen a material change in
this respect. Many mining men. smelt-
Ing men, and sheep and cattle men
have made large sums Of money from
sales, and they have cast about with a
view to placing their money where 1t
would bring a reliable and steady re-
turn. The list Of stocks in this market
which could be thus relied on being
somewhat limited, their price has been
forced steadily upward, as the compar-
ison shows, while an inspection OF the
stock books OF the various corporations
would show a long list OF names Of those
who had not hitherto been seekers Of
local investments.
The following table shows the steady
advance experienced by most Of our
stocks, and indicates the heavy gains
made during the IL months by those
who have held their securities since
the first Of the year:

His honor said the question raised In

Grafton the court ruled that 1t was the
intent Of the Legislature 10 place the
control, management and direction OF

Vate individual to enter the State lands
was subject to the approval Of the State
board, which had discretionary power to
say whether or not certain land should
be entered by parties, fix the price and
terms Of payment, etc. Section i6, the

ture With the intention Of merely giving

and made to bear the cross. On
the way out Jesus consoled the
weeping daughters and when he
reached Golgotha he refused to
take the Supplying potion offered
him by one of the soldiers and
prayed for his tormentors as they
drove the nails through his hands.
On the cross he hung in agony for
three hours. This was on Friday
afternoon. Nicodemus and Joseph
received the body and laid it in a
grave hewn in the solid rock, the
property of the latter, and guard
of Roman soldiers was placed
around it, who watched by turns
that night, all day Saturday and
the night following, and on Sun
day morning some of the women
came and found the tomb empty.
He had risen from the dead, and
appeared ten times to his follow
ers, and thousands became unal-
terably convinced of the truth of
his resurrection.
After about forty days he led
his disciples out toward the little
village of Bethany, the home Of
Mary and Martha, and gave them
his last commands and passed into

out of their sight"
Such is a brief outline of the life
OF Jesus Christ on earth, and which
causes US to choose December 25th
as Christmas, or the date of his
birth. The great historians all
agree as to the main facts herein
set forth. Let us not forget the
stupendous import OF the incarna-
ton of Him whose birthday we to-
day celebrate.

ed. Were it not for the Bible to
help us, the greatest fact in all
history would be an inexplicable
enigma, and yet the most ad-
vanced skeptic will not deny that
by his life and teachings He has
altered the entire current of human
history, and vastly raised the
standard of humanity. The Christ
child grew up in extreme seclusion.
He was subject to his parents,
grew and waxed strong in body
and in spirit, and the grace of God
was upon him, and as be advanced
in stature and in wisdom, he grew
in favor with God and man. A

on the intenseley interesting BIZ
ography of Jesus between his
babyhood and age of thirty when

Jesus Christ preached and taught
three years, going to and fro
through Judea and Samaria heal

the young men he had drawn
around him, and preparing them
for the great work set before them.

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
The Answer as Found in the
New Testament.

Christmas day is observed as a
festival day in memory of the birth
of Jesus Christ, who was born. in
Bethlehem Of Judea during the
winter Of 4 B. G. The date now
observed-December 25th-dates
back to about the middle of the
4th century. Jesus was the in
carnate son Of God, combining the
nature Of man with the divinity
Of God. The human mind cannot
grasp fully the thought of human
ity and divinity in one person.
AT his birth his mother was ex-
pressly hidden to call her babe
