ROCK FOR ROAD MAKING.

We have previously remarked that

sidered the best, because OF it's hard
ness and toughness, provided also that
It carries sufficient cementing material
to bind It firmly together We have
little or none Of this stone near enough
TO be available for city road-making.
OF the other kinds O. stone suitable
for machdamizing, limestone is the
best. But there are many kinds OF
limestone-hard, soft, frlable and kinds
with and without cementing proper
ties,
Where the limestone is unusually
hard, or where It contains sufficient
cementing qualities to enable its stone
dust to compact and bind the broken
stones firmly together, It is considered

A lady writing from Giles Utah, July

Miss Phoebe Couzins concerning the
alleged failure of woman suffrage TO
meet the expectations of the friends OF
that movement, expresses the opinion
that the distinguished lady is essential-

Our correspondent raises an import~

support of that scarlct-colored crowd.
II they did so hoping thereby to do
the Mormon Church an injury. they

They have found that the Church goes
