Wednesday was governor's day at the big farmers' and housekeepers' school which is being held Governor here all this week, Spry addressed the meeting on "Utah's Resources," which made a fine impression on those in attendance. He portrayed very vividly tbe wonderful natural resources of this state, embracing in its area more than any other two states of tha Union. He told of the wonderful climate of Utah's " Dixie", its products; the immense iron and coal deposits of Iron county; the State's varied climate, rich soil, variety of minerals, and everything right at the people's door to make them prosperous and happy. lie especially pointed out the possibil-tic- s of fruit culture for Juab He cited the instance county. of Mr. Roylance of Provo who had harvested nearly $1500 from one acre of seven year old apple trees, and there was no reason why this could not be done in other apple districts He urged upon the eople to invest in pro perty right at home where they can see and know what they were putting their money in. He scored the people who take their hard earned savings and invest them Mexican rubber and banana fields and in most cases never hear in of their in vesments afterwards. He appealed to his hearers to le united in the upbuilding of their community, of their counties and of the State; keep the young men and young women at home, so that they can make their fortunes out of the wouderful heritage bequeathed to them by the sturdy pioneers. State Supt Neilson also addressed the meeting and emphasized the fact that a man's first duty is to provide fir himself, and see to it that he is not a burden on society. His second duty is to take care of his family, and his third duty is to help his neighbor. In mentioning this last point, he especially commended the altruistic work of Citizens Subject to Jury Duty 1910. semi-tropic- al Incorporation of Mam- moth and Robinson Annulled bringing about improvements in the manner of assessing that city. The whole west end of Eureka has never leen mapjed and platted, and consequently all property in this portion of the city has never been legally assessed, a common description of a lot being say 50x100 feet on the west side- This is manifestly an illegal assessment, but the assessor could do no better, owing to the absence of any maps or plats of that se ction. In order to remedy this, County Assessor Bailey met with the city council of Eureka, and succeeded in getting them to agree to stand one-haof the expens3 of mapping and platting that portion of the city west from the Stott build ing. Through the assessment being made as it has, many every year have refused to pay taxes, thus T. ' encumbering and enlarging the delinquent list; and the descrip tions have been so faulty that the county couldn't make a valid ale of the projK'rty for taxes. For this reason, the city' county, etc' have been losing large sums of money in taxes every year. The county has not leen to plame, because they could do nothing until an official map was filed by Eureka city. ' poration is null and void, and the County Clerk is hereby directed to proceed no further in the matter of the incorporation of the said Mammoth and Robi-son." The petitions circulated some weeks ago throughout the county asking that the board of county commissioners pass an ordinance imposing high license and strict regulation on the saloons of the county under the jurisdiciton of the board, were taken up and considered by the board, but owing to the fact that there was a duplication of names on several of the "petitions, they were referred back to the circulation committee for revision.
