c. H. Barnes wrote us very inter
| esting letter from Monticello, Utah,
| last week. He tells us that the ele
yation of the land where he is located
is about 5000 feet above sea level, and
| that the general elevation of thai
section of country is between five an6
eight thousand feet. He states thai
| the weather is much milder there in
winter than the average in Wisconsin
| four below zero being the coolest in
| twelve years. They have about rs
| to raise good crops In regard to the
great number of idle men in the west.

are hardly enough laborers available

suant to call. Socially the meeting
was a great success; all OF the at

| immensely. The local attorneys who
were present were Hon. A. P. Weld,
F. M. White, w. P. Knowles and w,
G. Haddow. The closing performance

the lawyers present prevailed upon
the majority of the members to nom

Richmond, as the Bar Association
pet candidate to oppose Judge Thomp-

cratic for body of lawyers to at
tempt to name the judge under whom
they are to try their cases. The &C
ton of the bar association appears
to us like big boost for Judge
Thompson, who has never been asso-
