$780, and as an evidence OF their patri-
! otto appreciation of the splendid
| achievements of the volunteers, the
| citizens of Corinne have forwarded 500.
These contributions are taken by the
executive committee to mean that
Provo, Eureka. Sanpete, Sewer. Logan,
Park City and other outside counties
and towns will yet be heard from with
