BRIGHAM YoUNG, Jun, is to plant
colony of five hundred Mormons in the
Mexican state of Sonora. Last spring
reconnaissance was made by agents of
the Mormon prophet into Arizona with
the purpose of permanent settlement
there, and a number of families from
Utah have since settled in that terri
tory. There is chain of Mormon vii

Utah are insufficient to sustain so large
population as their hopes and ambition
lead them to anticipate. The bleak and

THE NoRTH-W WEsr.-By this we
mean the northwest proper; that
is to say, the vast stretch of coun-
try north and west of which Bis
marck is the base, or, in other
words, the depot, the key. It seems
strange that the extraordinary
wealth of the territory which ex-
tends from the Minnesota line on
the east, through to the Pacific, is
SO little known in the old settled
portions of the Union. Ricn in
mineral resources, fertile IN agricul-
tural products, with a climate that
is pleasant, healthy and desirable.
this great breadth Of country is
destined at a very early period to
become thickly populated, and its
Importance acknowledged and ap-
nrociated by the eastern, middle and
southern states.


We, too, until very recent PERI
cd, had no idea Of the Importance
of this large territory. While the
rich gold and silver mines embraced
i'll the boundaries of this portion of
the northwest, must necessarily at
tract good deal of attention as
well as immigration, we cannot for
get the fact that its agricultural
wealth should receive considera-
ton above everything else. 1t is
one of the best stock growing coun-
tries known to man. Here we have
undoubted reliable assurances that
there is no country in the world so
healthy for sheep, and that feeces
Of wool average from seven to ten
pounds per head that they are
wintered in good grazing fields all
winter long, and horses and meat
stock are raised at about half of the
cost that is required to mature stock
in Ohio aud New York, while wheat
fields are prolific, where cereals
cannot be excelled, and vegetables
have almost spontaneous growth.

KNIFE FALLS RAILRoAD.-W e
have from time to time given items
in regard to this enterprise "a
road about five miles in length,


extending from the Northern Pa
cific junction northward to the
foot of slack water on the ST. Louis.


On last Tuesday, in company with
Mr.. Dunlap of the Junction, we
took walk over the cleared portion
Of the line, and had the pleasure Of
seeing some real live railroad build
ing, and that, too, within twenty
miles of Superior. The line is
cleared one hundred feet and
grubbed twenty five feet wide for a
distance of nearly two miles north


from the Junction, leaving the n. 2.

ployed in grading at intervals all
along this distance, and two OF

And, what is particularly uufor-
tunate they are reduced as con-
sumers to the minimum point. Here
the evil works both ways. The ex-
cessive production which has shut
up the mill has weakened the power
OF the community to absorb this
production-the goose that laid the
egg has been slain. Inevitably the
recovery from hard times brought
about in this way must be slow.
The spindles cannot be set in mo-
ton until the stock ofgoods on hand
is reduced and fresh demand re-
wives this demand cannot revive
because the great body of con-
sumers are in state of impoverish-
ment. This condition of things is
entirely sufficient to explain the
genesis and the prolongation of
business prostration. Capital is

quite surprised to find such wide,

which is building the line, is the
owner of millions of feet of pine on
the ST. Louis, which will be render

No man with q particle of hui
manity about him can fail to deeply
sympathize with the honest lahorers
of this country, who are either out
Of employment, or lily reqnitted for
their labor. Neither can we shut
our eyes to the other fact that
thousands of employers are now un-
able to give employment to men ;
or, if they do they find themselves
unable to pay them. What shall be
done ? We see hundreds of men
who might take their axes and go
to the woods, and take up a home
stead, where they would be free
from taxes for several years, and
they would soon have alhome where
they would be independent Of en-
ployers. These would be years Of
hard work Of course; but the work
would be no harder in fact than that
performed by them as employed la
borers, and there would be a slow
but certain accumulation of wealth.
The men Of property in this state,
are men who in nine eases out of
ten gave their time in early man
hood to hard labor on the farm.
The best employer man can have
is himself Young man, take an AK

Beaver Brook last night to organize raid
on the Crystal Bridge cOlliery, operstcd
Sy Pardee g. Co. The men of the colliei.
as we'll as of all others operated by the
above company, refused to join in the
strike last week, and had been steadily
working. Information of the raid was re-
ceived here before midnight, and citizens
soon collected to resist any attempt to
damage property. Towards morning word
was received that the raiders having forced
yorktown men to join them, were obliged
to relinquish their design, owing to fall
ure to get the Honey Brook men out.
With the assistance of the latter the crowd
would have been formidable. All collieries

On Sunday afternoon last, as opportunity
offered, visited the Mission Chapel at Arm
strong and listened to the Interesting exercises
of the Sunday School. Our people are all
familiar with the origin of the movement
which eliminated in the erection of the chapel
and know something Of the steady progress of
the school, but, as but little has been said of
it for few years past, perhaps it would not
be uninteresting to many Of the friends of the
cause to lay before them little account of the
condition of the chapel and school at this time
Within the last month the managers have
spent about $l25 in repairing and repainting
the chapel; ornamental scroll work has been
placed around the caves, relieving the excessive
plainness of the building and greatly improv-
ing its appearance. A tasty vestibule has been
placed over the front entrance which is not
only great convenience, but also protection
to the room, which has heretofore been too
much exposed to the weather whenever the
doors were opened. The audience room will
seat about $50 persons and is provided with
settees Of patent slat seats and reversible backs
which are exceedingly convenient for class
purposes.


These improvements and the excellent man
ner in which the building, grounds and fences
are kept indicate the interest felt BY these peo-
pie in their little church and their appreciation
Of the privileges and blessings Of the gospel.


On Sunday afternoon Prof Jones, formerly
Principal Of the Middletown Academy, visited
the school and, on the invitation OF the Super
intendent, Mr. D. L. Dunning, took charge OF
the exercises, and gave the school an interest
