On Thursday night after the
saloon operated by Picard Bros.
had been closed for the night and
the bartender had gone 1t was dis
covered that the building was on
fire. Before the flames could be
gotten under control, the saloon
building was destroyed and the
warehouse adjoining also. In the
warehouse Messrs A. l.. Lyons
and E. A. Henning had $50 sacks
of rice stored. which is also a total
loss. The Hillebrandt warehouse,
the j. T. Hennings store and the
Jas. Hillebrandt store also caught
fire, but by hard work were saved
without much loss. SO far as
learned there was no insurance on
any of the buildings nor on the
rice that was burned.-Westlake
Herald.
Congress meets next Monday,
and while we are not certain that
Mr.. Roberts will be sent back as
unclean, we trust he will; and that
the action will be a lesson to Utah,
which has an aulaclty startling IN
lie extreme, Knowing the feeling OF
the other States, as it does, on this
question.
The election of Roberts to the
lower House cannot be considered
other than as the grossest insult to
the American institutions as Utah
knew them and behind them at
the date of her admission to Stale
hood only short while ago, and
TO endeavor, at this early date to
cram polygamy down our throats.
in the very face Of the Edmunds
law, enacted to annlbilate it in
Utah, and tie statutes OF all other
States, restraining 1t under the
criminal code, such resolution
would be just re:ribuuOn.-Frank,

The sugar grinding season is
