that ID was SO large, nor so civilized. Why
there IS a prevailing IDEA IN London among
the lew persons who know anything OF
this city and the Mormon people that it is
a very small community. OF little eoIlSe-
qtlence. But found ait once that this was
very serious mistake.
tOT course you can't blame Foreigners
Tor having this opinion, for it is the op1n-
ION OF the world, outside of persons VINO
have taken great trouble to inform tnern-
selves. -
One thing which bothered MIR. Bevan a
great deal was the fact that he could NOT
get INFO the Tempe. Yesterday afternoon
ne walked Through the grounds and went
UP to the hack door and around to other
entrances, until q wSFtchnan told MIN that
he could not get In.
Il can't understand it," said he. L sup
posed 1t was q church, just like st. PaJd >
cathedral. and when the matter was e&-
p.atned to him, he made note of II In a
'htle book which was filled with accounts
ot- the various things he had run across.

contract had been let by the company Tor
the construction of twenty frame cottages
and forty or fifty more would be begun
next spring.
THESE twenty will be finished within a
few weeks, said he, and they viii be
rented 10 miners with their families or
without, for that matter. Each house Is
to be as neat and convenient as can be
made, with electric lights and water.
The company has another method OF
building the town, too. 1t will rent ground
enough for a gUod-sized yard on long time
to miners who want to build their own
houses. The rental has been placed at 50
cents per quarter, 81 per year. 1t Is mere
ly a nominal price, to get Them TO build
THE company is endeavoring to build a
town that will present q clean and credit
able appearance. Schotield was built up
by miners who constructed hutS and
s'nacks. and il presents a di.apidated APP

When Mayor Jones of Provo was up
here yesterday he was in one of his hap
pest veins, and he said something about

out any pretGnsionS, one of tine most elo-
quent takers in the state.
Provo is prosperous, happy and UNI
satisfied said he. I'VE are unsatisfied
be1ause we are ambitious. We want to
be a big city, we want to shine as more
than q country town of Utah. We are
happy because of our prosperity during
the past year, and when Thanksgiving
rolls around tnere Will c4lrnb up the jagged
peaks of the Wasatch mountains which
overhang US like mute and sleepleSs SEN

ON as We have, increasing every year and
more and more as each one comes and
goes, the same mountains in which we
nestle in protection will see spread out for
miles and for miles not a country village
with country airs but big. bristling
city with the Steam whistles. the noise.
tine smoke, the hurry on paved streets,
and tine nervous energy which they seem
TO cause.
THAT will be Provo when few more

We are going TO become known outside of

which reads: Forty-siX miles to Salt

has invited me to eilt a nince pie and I'm
going; dote on mince pies.
Women were not kept off the property
of the Pleasant Valley Coal company at

lilies might try TO acquire title TO the
lands, said G. A Bennington. who has
worked on the property, and who is at the
Walker house. he title to tine mines is
all right, and there was no fear of such
a thing.
But the men VINO own the property
