All the old folks over 05 of Nephi were treated to a summer festival in the city park last Wednesday. The beautiful wea- ther enabled a large number to paticipate in the good time which the hard working committees had prepared for them. The following program was rendered: song, America; prayer.

At the conclusion, the committees served Ice cream, cake, Btrawberries.and lemonade. The success of the affair is due to the committee who arranged the event: Messrs. and Alfred Lunt, Thos.

The dam at the Reservoir site is a monster affair, 440 feet thick at the bottom and will be from 10 to 20 feet thick at the top when completed in five years from now. It is 450 feet wide and will be 110 feet high. The dam is up fifty feet now, and 290 feet thick, and is drawn in 4 feet for every foot in height. A large concrete wall is in the center to block the danger from rodent animals that might cause aleak. Tne cost of filling in dirt by team is 33 cts. per cubic yard. This was proving too expensive to the company and work would have had to be stopped had it not been for the ingenuity of the superintendent, N. P. Christensen of Fairview, who devised the plan of sluicing in the dirt from the mountain side by the use of streams of water. A miniature reservoir is made in the dam to hold the heavily charged muddy water, and when the mud settles the clear water is drained off. Dirt is filled in this way for 10c per cubic yard, and the work of build ing the monster dam goes stead1-- 3 ily on. Stout, Thos.

She had been suffering for over a year from diabetes; in fact, ever since the death of her husband, she seems to have been suffering from this malady. She had only been confined to her bed about three days. She was born in Council Bluffs Iowa, 59 years ago, while her parents were on their way from England to Utah. When she was 6 days old, the journey was resumed, and the first few weeks of her child-hoodays were spent amid the hardships of the plains. Her parents first stopped off at Spanish Fork where they lived for a season; later moving to Nephi where she subsequently married Henry Sutton, and has resided here ever since. The deceased was always a loyal church worker, having served as Sunday school teacher, president of the First Ward Primary, and teacher in the Relief society. She was a devoted wife and mother, ready at any time to help anyone in need; she was a good neighbor, and well liked by every one. She was the mother of 6 children, four of whom are living,- - Thos.
