Lorenzo Hansen and wife returned

sens mother, Mary Ann Milton. called
them home sooner than they expected

of pneumonia, but it Is reported that

Mrs. Sidney o. Stevens las passed
through the sad al,liction of losing her
little baby girl of one week old. The
little one was apparently well until
Friday when it became suddenly i'll and
passed away. The mother is not as
strong as she should be, and the loss
sustained has made her more distress
ed The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. stevens will be pleased TO hear
of her speedy convalcSence. Funeral
services over the little babe were

Ncph Green, of WcllsviIlc. bought
five acres of land last year. for which
he paid $3.50 per acre. lie prepared
the land properly for beet raising, and
last year. from this piece of land, took
twenty one tons per acre. lie received
from each acre of bccts $3.50, making
the first year profit of 81 from each
acre, over and above the cost of the
land. Gustayc Eliason, of Hyrum,
produced - tons of bectS from one
acre. the gross receipts being $1,000.
We merely refer to this to show farm
crs who have small acreage and large
families what it is possible To do in the
line of beet raising. In Providence,
Millvillc and College there are hun
dreds of acres of land ON which grain
and mcernc are raised that do not
bring in onc-third of the above
revenue. We cannot understand why
it is that more land adjacent to the
factory is not planted in beets. There
is no question about beet culture be-
ing lucrative business, providing the
land is put in proper shape.
According to the minutes of the last
meeting held by the County board of
! Commissioners. MeSsrS. Hendricks and
barley were appointed As a committee
to investigate the matter OF purchaS-
ing engines and cars for gravclling
county roads. This will be welcome
news to the residents of Cache county.
The people have been lenient and
patient on the road question, month
after month and year in and year out.
The citizens have travelled the roads
when they have been rutted from one
end to the other or axle deep in mud.
The former boards of Commissioners
did about all they could do with the
means at their command, but the
time has now come that different
means must be employed for the fu'
ture. our population is increasing
the people are becoming Weather ano
there is ten times as much travel II,
