The sudden silence in my chamber

I. starting. lift my head in half alarm
The clock has stopped-thats all.
The clock has stopped Yet why have

An instant feeling almost like dis

Why note it's silence sooner than its

For II has licked all day.
So many lives beside my own go on.
And such companionship unheeded

companionship scarce recognized till
gone
And lost in sudden sleep.
And so the blessings heaven daily

Are In their very commmonness for

We little heed what answereth our

Until IL answers not.
A strangeness falleth on familiar ways
AS IL some pulse were gone beyond

Something unthought Of linked with

Some clock has stopped-thats all.

schools, well attended-nearly 300 stud

one furniture and implement store, one
saloon, two hotels, an empty jail and
an empty treasury and an elevation OF
$685.
Escalante is the next town in size,
situated in the center of the county,

building one of the best school houses
in the state, modern in all its appli-
ances, has three schools, a splendid
climate, good orchards, but limited in

lack of water for irrigation; good soil
and some of the best rural homes in
Utah.
Mammoth, Cannonville, Henrieville.
Cleveland and Marion, other small
towns having populations of from 200
TO 800, constitute the county and are
situated near the center.
Fruit of the best quality can be
grown in Henrieville, Cannonville and

Torrey and the Benches.

Washington county'S resources TINS

considerably decreased, due to the long
continued drought. But while the very
great shortage in crops is everywhere
felt. it's disastrous effects are obvlated
by the increased commercial activity OF
the county, which is brought about by
the raise in copper and the opportunity
thus afforded for the successful work
ing of the large copper interests In TINS
section.
The cattle industry has suffered even
more than the agricultural interests,
since the farms remain. but the ma
iority of cattle are gone, most of the
large owners having sold, being AFRAID
TO chance the winter with the present
prospects of no rain. There is absolute
ly no feed on the range, there having
been no rains to make ii.
The production this season of all
classes of farm products and fruits is
the smallest it has been since Dixie
became established, and all this is due
to the drying up of the streams that
have never been known to fail before.
Where this is not the case the water
has been less than one-half or the
usual flow. In some instances, where
the water supply of one town was
found to be insufficient for the cultiva-
ton of crops, it has been combined
with that of another town higher up,
but even then there was not enough
to do any good. This was notably the
case of Leeds and Harrisburg, Harris
burg being so dry that the drinking
water had to be hauled from Leeds.
Great Scarcity of Water.
Scarcely any wine has been made this
year. and very little fruit has been
dried; the hay crop is very short and
is now selling at S12 and So per ton
The grain crop is somewhat better,
having been mostly sown in the fall
and thereby maturing before the waite:
became so short. The fields are nov
being pastured, and a charge per head
to save feed is the rule of the hour.
The sheep interests of the county are
about holding their own This is due
to the fact that it is always necessary
to select ranges for sheep, and a con-

Railroads Coming In.
There are two railroads heading for
this place, and any one knowing the
advantages that will naturally accrue
to the first one reaching here, well IN
derstand that the object is worthy of
a grand effort. The road that first
reaches the highest point in Coal Creek
canyon will have the advantage in
many miles as well as the best grade
by which to tap Kane county and a
large slice of Arizona, rich in minerals
and grazing facilities. Cedar has eight
stores doing an extensive business, and
has erected more private houses this
season than in any preceding year.
