Those drouth sufferers caused by the
prohib law in Iowa, will want to make
frequent trips to Nauyoo so they can
irrigate. and then the carrying CT pack
ages would be quite an item to the

bus scheme to this Mormon city, Will
give it thorough try-out as soon as

alysis was the cause Of his death. The
