The coming Of Modjeska In MARY
Stuart" Monday night, attracted only
a fair audience. There may have been
several in that audience who deeply
appreciated the production, but general
comment gives rise to the belief that
there were many more who for rea-
sons best known TO then selves did not
get enthusiastic over either Modjeska,
her company or her play II Is hard
ly necessary TO go into further detail
for it Is generally understood hat this
once great artists is travelling now on
a reputation Of the past. 10 those
who can appreciate greatness disen-
throncd 10y time, and who venerate
one for deeds Of other days not forgot
ten, Modjeska held charm. But this
is thoughtless and rushing age.
It's the new thing that catches the
public taste, not the old nor the per-
feet thing.
An exchange publishes the following
conundrum A banker sauntering
home for his dinner saw $40 bill on
.he curbstone. He picked it up
and took the number in order
to find the owner. While at
home his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent bill amounting to
$40. The only money he had with
him was the bill he had found, which
he gave her, and she paid the butcher.
The butcher paid II to farmer for
calf and the farmer paid IL to mer-
chant who in turn paid it to a wash
woman, and she, owing the banker
note Of 80 went to the banker and
paid the note, The banker recogniz-
ed the bill as the one he had found,
and which up TO that time had paid
$50 debt. On careful examination nc
found that the bill was counterfeit.
Now, will some of our kind friends
tell us what has been lost in this tran
saction ard by whom.
Croydon a settlement located
twenty-five miles east Of Ogden on
the Z. p. r. II. will be a scene OF
great activity during the coming sum-
mer. Two inexhaustible mountains
Of limestone and shale are found there
and a great cement factory is to be
built by syndicate composed Of Ogden
men, David Eccles, Fred J. Keisel,
James Mack and others, who have
paid up over one-half million dollars,
the company being Incorporated for
three and half millions. The plant,
IL is said, will cost twice as much as a
sugar factory. An expert has been
secured from the east who has had a
life's experience in the business, and
he is paid a salary Of $500 per an
mum. This gentleman will attend to
the construction OF the plant and
running ii after completion. A
thorough analysis has been made OF the
material at hand and IL is found to
have but two and half per cent mag
nesia, while the maximum limit al
lowed by the government in making
cement is four per cent. The capa-
city of the plant will be 1000 barrels
per Cay. 1t is expected that two
trains of coal will be used daily.
Satisfactory arrangements have al
ready been made for transportation
with the railroad company. About
400 men will be constantly employed
in running the plant, which is to be
operated day and night. Six enorm-

Mr.. b. G.. Richardson, OF Salt Lake,
has been in this valley the past few
days negotiating for the sale of quite
a number OF commercial orchards, 1t
is said that not few land owners
along the east side Of the valley have
awakened TO the possibilities Of fruit
culture here and propose to put out
orchards within the coming year Mr..
Richardson is inclined TO believe that
few sections offer greater advantages
for certain varieties of apples and
cherries than does Cache. In speak
ing of fruit conditions generally, Mr.
Richardson speaks of Delta county,
Colorado, where there were no orch
ards eight years ago. Small orchards
had been almost destroyed by inse cts
and the fruitmen were discouraged.
