Then down the stream the mighty
flood
Went whirling toward it's goal;
The people on the Cleveland flats
All had to climb pole.
This story seems little big
But 1 would have you know
The Beacon wouldn't publish it
Therefore it must be so.
We had the mobile trundled back
With horses in the night;
We marched along with muffled drum
And We're sorry sight.
We placed it in it's little coop
Where it had been before,
An sent a runner for the Board
While Washer barred the door.
The Board convened, an smoked, an
looked
Each other in the face,
Then sent for Loomis to come down
An diagnose the case.
When Loomis felt the mobiles pulse
His face was grave with fear.
He finally said: Il think she's got
Congestion of the gear"
Then Mickey Hoye came running down
With sulphur an benzine,
An on the door he nailed this card:
"Contagious-Qu
Next Undertaken Kasson came,
An askt about the scrape;
Then on the door he deftly nailed
a yard or two of Grape.

He said he'd let the mobile lie
In state little while
An when he got the census took, +
He'd bury 1t in style.
The Board approved his little plan
Then told him to defer
Because the judge had called them up
An said: Il don't concur"
Then Loonis drew his coat again
To reconstruct the gear,
The Board drew smoke, the WHILE
an drew
Ten thousand plunks year.
The reconstruction Of that gear
So oft, is rather rash,
Because each time it costs the town
Three hundred dollars cash.

To dust a country bank.

FLOUR MILLING
PROSPERS HERE.

THE FLOUR Mills of Utah are nam
L pered for want of an outside mar
ket for their surplus, and there can be
but little advance made in this branch
of industry until better railroad facIll-
ties afford a wider market. There are
no wseventy-five Touring mills IN the
state of Utah, with a combined capac-
ity for turning out at least 100000 baE
rels of flour in the course of a year,
and this would mean the consumption
of 1900. 0OC bushels of what, almost
twice the yield of the state for this
wear. Millions of bushels could be ship
ned in from Idaho, and this would be
done if the output of the Utah mills
could find it's way into paying mar
ket. AS it is, the mills must stand IDLE
a good portion of the time, while the
wheat is shipped out unground or con-
sumed at home as stock feed.
Good judges place the Titan wheat
crop for the year 1900 at nearly 10000 QUO
bushels. About 1000 600 bushels of this
will be consumed in Utah in the form
of flour. leaving 10000 bushels TO be
disposed of in some other way. The
price of wheat has averaged 90 cents
per bushels in Salt Lake, which would
make the crop worth $2,500,0Oo There

at six pounds per head, an aggregate
Of over q, OOO, 900 pounds of wool IS OBJ

erage price of 10 cents per pound which
is a reasona BILE estimate, the value of

the wool shipped from other states,
but belonging 10 men living ia Utah
In spite of the fact that the year mas
been one of great profit to the sheep
men, it has also been one Of much aS-
gravatiOn and disappointment A year
ago the price of wool reached Il cents
per pound. Some sold at this figure
in advance of the shearing; others held
off. expecting the price to go still high
er. Instead of that iC fell as low as
IL cents. and continues low at this time
with most Of the WOOlmen still holding
their clip.
The outlook for the coming year
could not be better SO far as the sheep
are concerned. and it is earnestly hoped
that there viii be an upward turn IN
the near future. The Landing OF the
past year was unusually good, the re-
cent storms have greatly improved the
pasturage. the standard of the Titan
sheep is higher than ever before, the
sheepmen are well organized and every
indication except the market points to
n record breaking year at the opening
Of the century.

neT stone for the fine new Catholic ca
thedral on Brigham and 3 streets was
laid early in the year and good prog
ress was made on the structure during
the year, but it is to be of such mag
nifcent proportions that it will hardly
be completed in the year to come.
Work on the Kearns residence on Brig
ham street progressed throughout the
year, and the beautiful building is be
ing put under roof just as the year
closes. 1t viii be completed in the
opinion of the builder, next fall. and
is built in such d substantial way that
it will stand for all time to come. A
Sc, coo brick and stone building was
erected during the year for the Latter

church block, fronting the temple. This

buildings to be built on that quarter of

thOrities for this purpose. Work on
