The rather heavy electrical storm
which accompanied the driving wind
and fall of snow about tour O'Clock
Sunday morning was new wrinkle in
even the extraordinary freakish wealth
ca that has been dished up to us since
December. The lightning was almost
incessant for half hour but thunder
was not greatly in evidence.
Mr., Grilfith Charles of the Second
ward was happily surprised last Fri
day, it being the 18th anniversary of
his birthday. A host of friends gath
cred at his residence where they all
enjoyed themselves by relating anec-
dotes of years gone by and making
their worthy host convinced that he
has true friends who wish him good
health-which he has not had for
some time-and happy returns of his
birthday. The supper was thorough
ly enjoyable and the folks gathered
there were enthusiastic in their
praises of the good cheer provided by
Mrs. Charles and voted that although
she has aged some in years, her re-
freshments were all of the highest Or
der.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
has just strung wire from Ogden to
the rooms in the Com .nercial Block
occupied by W. II. Weaver, local rep.
resentative of the Cummings Com
mission Co., Of Salt Lake. Weaver
has the two front rooms vacated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Carbon, and is fitted up
to do business properly. He is an ex.
pert tclegragher and will get quota
tiOns direct. Mr.. Weaver Is of the
opinion that one can not but pro-
tit by buying food stuffs at present.
The prospects for crops elsewhere are
not the most fattering and the de-
mand that Is being created by the
Eastern situation must raise the
price enormously before great while.
A resident Of Benson Ward recently
stated that some time ago he caught
carp out of Bear river weighing
eighteen pounds and that inside the
fish there were six pounds of eggs,
enough to I'LL milk pan. The eggs
were no larger than the head of pin,
and must have amounted to millions.
BY this an idea can be formed as to
the increase Of this particular kind
OF fish that is practically useless. The
carp is considered an aggressive specie
OF fish, devouring all other kinds and
also their spawn. There is no cues
ton but what all of the finest grades
OF hsh will be thing of the past if
something is not done to protect
them. A few small fish in the upper
parts of the mountain streams will be
all that is left. The fish and game
laws might be so changed as to make
it admissible for the deep waters to
be seined under the direction of fish
and game wardens, thereby taking
from the streams all kinds of inferior
fish caught and placing in the waters
all the choice fish, such as trout, bass
and herring. This matter Is worth
the consideration of those interested
in fish culture. IL something Is not
done, carp, suckers, mullet, ETC., will
take the place of finer grades.
