Mrs. John Z. Moss left this morn
ing for Ogden, where she VIII be
Ioined by her mother, who Is coming

complains that dogs are not as plen-
tiful on the street as they were be-
fore the ordinance went into effect.
Those who own dogs, and do not feel
that they can afford to pay the H.
cense are evidently keeping them
tied up.
The petitions against the forest re-
serve have been returned to the COM
mittee, and they are being arranged
so as to send them to our represent
atives In congress. There are some
eight hundred or more signatures to
the petitions, of which the majority
are men. We hope the petitions
will have some effect, but
1t should not be forgotten that the
Masquerade bail will be held at the
opera house tomorrow evening. This
ball is under the auspices OF the
Woman's Relief Corps, and the pro-
ceeds will go to that organization.
For this reason the ball should be
literally patronized, as it will I'M
doubtedly be one of the most pleasing
affairs of this nature which has ever
been held In the city.
: The Recorder has some half dozen
correspondents on its list, represent
ing several portions Of the county
yet we will not be satisfied until we
have live, wake news gath
erer In every precinct In the county.
We are well pleased with those we do
have, but va desire to increase the
number. We would like to be In a
position to give more county news
and less brain leaks.
Tomorrow, Washington's birthday,
will pass of In this city without any
particular function or notice with
the exception OF the Woman's Relief
Corps ball at the opera house In the
evening. Lincoln's birthday occur
ring but few days ago 1t makes
legal holidays or days Of observance
come too close together. The dance
at the opera house gives promise OF
being a most pleasing affair.
Chas. Kippey, who was sent to the
penitentiary from this county some
eighteen months ago, sent a Eand-
some cane to Ex-Sheriff Stewart, ask
ing him to dispose Of the same for
him. This morning Mr.. Stewart
rallied or the cane, realizing some
fifteen dollars for the young man,
which was mailed to him. Kippey
was sent mp for two years, but owing
to good behavior will be liberated In
June.
O. p. Kimmel, OF Stroud, Okla
homa, arrived here Sunday, coming
In with James Dysert. Mr.. Kimmel
hsa been In the general mercantile
business at Stroud, but recently dis.
posed OF his interests at that place
and Is now looking for location.

pleased with this locality, but de-

George Mckenney, paymaster at
Meyers Cove, came In the last OF the
week to look after some business for
his company. George did not bring
the fine weather with him because 1t
was already here, but he did say that
the indications were that the winter
was over. When asked for the reas-
ons, he stated that bear tracks were
quite common In the hills, and they
we're too shrewd TO get out OF their
winter quarters until the bad wealth
er was over. We believe he Is light
from the indications around town.
The small hey is out with his mar
hles, SO that the sunny side Of the
streets are almost impossible. This
is more of harbinger OF spring than
all the bear tracks in existence.
G. Bentx is recent arrival from
Whitebird, Idaho county, where he
