HOTEL GOSSIP.

J. Hendrickson. a cattleman of Nsphi.
is at the Cullen hotel. where he has been
attending to the business of shipping cat
tie from Nevada and from Nephf.
The winter range about Nephi is very 5
poor" said he yesterday. and / am
going to get my cattle out just soon
as l find good prices. A great many per-
will fe tSav tns cattle Gat dur nf the
spring. Hay is scarce. but these people
have grown their own hay and can af-
ford to feed. 1t might not be profitable
to purchase hay and feed cattle. How
ever. there are very few persons about
Nephi who will do that. They have grown
enough to care for their cattle during
the Writer.
Il have recently been down in the south.
western part OF the state ana have found I.
that large numbers of cattle are in a very
poor condition. If they remain there and
expect to feed on the range they VIII |
never get through the winter alive
J. c. Ruffner of Omaha. who is at the
Cullen, travels for a Williamsport Pa) |
house which manufactures pantaloons. |
He doesn't sell anything but pantaloons, /
and he declared that he had done large |
business in Salt Lake and hoped to do as
we'll in Park City. Ogden and Provo
Il was in Salt Lake in ISL said Mr.. |
Rnffner, land l have remembered the
place ever since. 1t was an excursion of
the Nebraska Editorial association, and
there were about eighty of u.s. We
stopped at the Walker House, and
recollect there was much influence
brought to bear to have us stop at the [
White House. then favored by the Nor
mons. But we were received in elegant
style. An of us met Brigham Young, and
our opinions of him were greatly changed
We saw that he was a much more i'm
portant and able man than We had sup
posed. Everything was at our disposal.
We were taken in carriages all over the
( city and visited the lake. In fact, there
was no place on the trip where we We're |
so royalty entertained. l have always had
much respect for Brigham Young since
that time"
P. B. McKeon of Milford, who is at the
Cullen, has just finished hauling in a
large amount of machinery from Uvada
to Deer Lodge New, for A. w. McCune.
r. c. Lund and others who are Interested
in mining property there. This heavy
machinery has been hauled sixteen miles
over a very rough road, ana IL is for most
ing works on the mining properties. One
load weighed 10000 pounds and was taken
in without great difficulty.
Mr.. Mckeon has a store at Milford, but
as his freighting business requires much /
of his time he is away a great deal
THE drouth, of which there has been
much complaint, is not so bad as it has
been pictured said he yesterday. Il
don't believe that there Is going to tie
much loss. Most of those. persons who
cannot feed their cattle will be able TO I
get them out. The sheep will feed on /,
shrubbery and sagebrush and will be able
to get through the winter.
Helper has both new school house
and a new church," said G.. c. Russell
who has the Rio Grande eating house at
that place.
THE building was put up by the Rio
Grande Western company, which seems to
believe that religion and education are
things which it should encourage. Inere
is quite a good attendance at the new
school with Mrs. Don r. Coray in charge. !
c mi n
is open to all denomina tons. AS the
building cost about $1,000 1t is quite
credtable to the town. /
THE people of Heller are happy and
contented. They have made money and
everyone seems to have some. We are
prosperous and there is no complaint OF
hard times nor poverty.
Don c. Porter proprietor of the Ken
yon hotel has purchased from E. j. /
Parrish the horse which carried him $500 Z
miles across and about the United States. l.
This horse. Dan, who has been such
faithful servant of Mr.. Parrish, is years
old and knows many tricks. In fact, mis-

There are at the Knutsford two genu-
inc Dutchmen, but whom everyone about
the hotel thought were French tourists.
They come from long distance. from
