ago left oakland california on friday last to return home and was expected in omaha on tuesday FINE WEATHER eor FOR cors CORN the late warm weather has caused the corn to take a EL start until it now looks very promising the writer last week visited cedar valley the only part of utah county we think in which the crops of small grain do not appear flourishing and noticed that although their first plantings were totally cut off by tho grass hoppers the people have since replanted with corn and potatoes which looked ver vor very vory y well especially at cedar fort and caused the people to feel quite encouraged the crop of small grain will also be benefited by the dry weather in that it will not be likely to be affected by rust as were the weather wet it undoubtedly would be in many places where the grain is heavy A slight shower would no doubt do good in many respects yet we have great reason to feel thankful for the fine dry weather K R Bs bys LETTER letten the letter of K B 11 in to days NEWS is well worth the perusal and consideration of the tho people of utah not only of those engaged in the particular branch of manufacture referred to but of all for the principle is as true of all branches of manufacture that are carried on now or which may be hereafter as of the one referred to the policy of sending our raw material abroad to be manufactured when eavery every facility for the same is abundant at home la Is the sure road to social and commercial ruin and will as certainly lead to it as that of the sensualist who purchases present gratification at the certain cost of future pain druin andru an ln such a course as the one described by R B is contrary to every sound principle of political economy in bryn and we hope to see it stopped in every branch cli cil of industry and we feel bore sore that it will be by all true lovers of home development and pro peo prosperity DIXIE brother W G of harrisburg washington county writing to us under date of june says the

trees are being stripped of leaves heaves without the owners being aware of the true cause of the destruction many attribute the loss of leaves to the ravages of the grasshoppers but if they were to examine their trees rees closely they would find numbers of small light colored worms so near the color of the new wood as to be imperceptible a at short distance which on being touched will drop down spinning a fine thread like a spider as they do so these worms strip the leaves off quite as effectually as the grasshoppers do and are aro even worse in their effects on tho the trees we believe the apple trees only are affected and it will pay to examine the trees and rid them of these pests now as when the leaves are taken the tue fruit that ripens after that is comparatively worthless SUICIDE IN MORGAN COUNTY through bro wm win eddington mayor of morgan city we learn that just as the train going east yesterday mo morning ining gning was starting at weber city morgan county a man sprang from the train and tried to place his head on the rail beneath the wheels of the cars but buh was prevented from doing so and taken on board the train by the conductor and placed in the charge of a brakesman who attempted to lead him through the cars while the train was in motion while doing so the man broke away from him again leaped down and deliberately facea placed h his is head on the rail when several severa cars passed over it crushing him in a horrible manner the train was stopped and the body examined A number of papers some coin and about twenty dollars in currency were found on him on one of the papers was the following my aly name thomas walsh residence Aex alexandria andria andrla Genn fennessee Gennes essee seo county new now york state I 1 write this in case of accident

CRICKETS the trains on the central pacific railroad have several times of late been stopped in nevada vat a by the crickets collecting on the rails and delayed in several instances over an hour in a place some time sinco the trains in this territory were stopped by the grasshoppers and papers east and west noticing the fact seemed rather incredulous about believing it but it is nevertheless true that trains may be stopped by them until the driving wheels of the locomotive ml tive will fly around as though the loca motive were suspended in the air in nevada novada ic it seems such an occurrence does docs not excite any special wonder NOT so the oakland daily yran Tran transcript pt cal notices our recent editorial article on the treatment of small smail small smail pox and considers it as an evidence that the disease is not yet subdued here and that effective measures are needed in this territory we can assure the transcript pt and lun lur our readers that there is no cause for alarm as from present evidences the few cases that have appeared in morgan county have been so effectually subdued and precautionary measures there taken that there is se arcely scarcely a probability that the contagion can spread further |
