for turning out to do things
Of this kind, while the o. ST..
people are well enough off to
do the work, yet there is moth
ing like being public spirited
and going out after things
that will be a benefit to us.
1t is rumored that the far
mers OF this valley are expect
ed to make another payment
on water next spring to the
Company. and if so we feel
that this would be entirely
out of place, as we have now
paid in the neighborhood of
$40, 10000 already and have
received nothing in return,
we therefore feel that the
payment already made entit-
les us to one years use of

While attending a public
entertainment a few nights
ago Bp. Haight was unfort-
innate in having taken from
his buggy a good Navajo Bla.
nket and plush Lap Robe.
This is not only very annoy
ing to people who go out with
such articles, but is very dis
agreeable and expensive. It
is quite certain that they
were taken ont, else they
would have been heard from.
Certainly any good citizen
who can do anything to bring
TO justice characters who rob
carriages of their contents
would be a benefactor to their
fellowmen, and people who
engage in such unlawful acts
should take warning for their
day Of retribution will surely
come.
