This is in a flourishing condition. The people live whicn- - compelled above-name- d accordance with the inexorable de mands of the present time, and the inevitable sequence to the distracted condition of business in every department. Tbe curtailment of expenses, and the elimination of comforts in the commercial and social walks of life are necessitated by the tremendous upheaval which has impaired credit, affected every branch of iudustiy and checked the spirit of enterprise throughout the country. A reciprocal course is now exacted from the company. If their wants are pressing, so are those of their patrons. "If they consider it absolutely necessary to resort to a Btrict economy the same obligation rests upon every one, who has a dol lar at stake. The rates for transportation on the two Pacific roads are not merely They arc oppressive and of reason. out It should be borne in mind that these great transcontinental thoroughfares were construct-- . ed for the public benefit, and not intended for the enrichment of a few monopolists. They should apply the same rule to the traveling and business community as they observe for their own protection. The tariff of prices should be cut down nearly one half, and even then the rates would 'be disproportionate to those which prevail on all other roads. Should they hesitate or dally with the stern necessity that requires a proper deference to the public want, it ts within the province and becomes the imperative duty of Congress to compel them to adopt a schedule that will be reasonable and equitable. The Union and Central Pacific Companies must accept the results of the convulsion which lias shaken the country, from centre to circumference and realize the fact, that they cannot claim exemption from the obimposed ligations mon. upon all in com- a conroic isitans ofTlOtf. A- - is definitely settled that subordinates of a private corporation cannot prescribe rules and regulations for the maintenance of what they may conceive to be the privileges of It their employers, simplj upon a general authority, ith which they might be invested. The regular action of the Board of Directors of a Corporation is required to establish rules before they can be enforced. Where the powers of a municipal corpora- tion are relinquished into the hands of a Company, its rules as to the use of the property surrendered, being formerly a public highway, must be adopted forming in a manner somewhat conto the establishment of a publicordinancs. tc A person holding a ticket on Harlem road, being rather late to catch the train, took a short cut by a JifF.irnnf ontRtniW to LIM QOIVlt fl'Oni T the one ordinarily used. He was followed by two employees, forcibly ejected from the premises and surrendered to the police officer, by whom he was clubbed. On an action- against the company, it was proved that the regulation forbidding the peroni from passing through entrance at which the scene occurred was c.t (Wished by a depot master and not by the Directors. Judgment was therefore rendered against the Cou:p41lV. in their own houses, nearly all of them cultivate their own farms, they keep stock, gradually improve their "inheritances" and find time amid all their labors to attend public meetings, read newspapers, school their children, build railroads and attend to numerous public duties. Publio labor begets a public spirit,' and this is a foe to selfishness. Public improvements increase tbe value f private property. So, while these sturdy workers by wise counsels are directed for the publio welfare, they are all personally benefitted and are gradually growing wealthy, almost without realizing how wealthy they are, and what a contrast their present plenty makes with their former indigence. Bishop W. Hyde presides at the settlement that bears his name, having the love and esteem of his people and the confidence of his many friends. B.Bhop S. Roskelly takes charge of Smitufield, and is superintendent of schools for the county. In both positions his active mind is well displayed, and good results appear. If the folks at "Summit" were to turn out and help build him a house on the site of his dwelling recently destroyed by fire, they would perform a graceful act and make some return for his labors. No one but a "Mormon" Bishop knows how much work a Bishop does for the good of the publio, nor how little it is, sometimes appreciated. Richmomd, the city of big barns, rejoices under the direction of Bishop M. M. Merrill, a railroad man, a worker, and a splendid "boss" on a publio project. It is a soft place in damp weather, but has as few soft heads as any place in the mountains. Franklin, which is to be the present terminus of the U. N. R. It., can boast g and whole-soule- d a of as D. comLorenzo as in Hatch, any Bishop munity in Utah. He has a work before him requiring great judgment and discretion, as the railroad is already bringing a mixed population, and the settlement is within the borders and under 'the laws of Idaho. Franklin is blessed with an abundance of splendid rock within easy distance, suitable for building purposes. Their fine meeting house and the ro&idenecs of several of the leading men, are constructed with it, and present a very handsome appearance. The Utah Northern will open a market for this white stone, in other parts of . the Territory. In our trip this season we were compelled, for want of time, to omit visiting Oxford and Clifton, in the extremo northwest of the valley, so crossed over from Franklin to Weston. Ia a former description of Cache Valley we noticed the nnicoupied bread extent of splendid country in the centre of its northern part, and predicted its future settlement. Those fertile acres are now all "taken up." The houses of new settlers dot tbe plain, and it requires no gre it stretch of the imagination to see rich farms, fruitful orchards, mills, factories, school houses, churches and handsome hsuses in the future, and wealth evolved from earth and air by brain and muscle for the benefit of happy thousands and the enriching of the whole community. A mong the beginnings of this occupation of inviting soil is a little settlement in charge of Mr. W. U. Lewis, and called Lewisville, an appropriate title. It is bound to grow, and before long we shall hear from it something worthy of general notice. When we rolled into Weston, Bishop John Maugham was just returning from the first luuerul tbat baa taken place in ihat settlement for a year. It was an unfortunate and lamentable affair. On tho 24th of Oc ober, a little girl not quite eight months old, the daughter of Edward and Francis Willis, was left in the house tied in a chair, while her mother went to the corral to milk a cow. Another little girl.abau. three years old, thinking the baby was cold, drew up the chair close to the open stove. When the mother returned, to hsi Iiorror, she found the little sufferers legs and feet literally roasted, I lis melted jmrts dripping on to tbe floor.
