Ry. are accustom-ed to issue pamphlets of various kinds advertising their line and the country through which it passes Next year we shall perhaps see our county represented by the company. Last year they issued, among other matter, their "Rhymes of the Rockies" and "Valleys of the Great Salt Lake," are viry interesting reading, and contain 56 and 64 pages. The Recister acknowledges the receipt of both. What is F.prraim going to do about Depot Grounds for the R. G. W. cannot the' city fathers, who have not yet grrnted the franchise to the S. F. V. arrange for the R. G. W. to cross "their tracks and get depot grounds for both roads on the west side of the street, it will be much easier than on the east side. Let us be up and doing, and not let this golden opportunity to assist in the development of our tpwn be lost. What say ye who a e most interested? 1 J. II. Parry has issued a very use-ful little volume entitled: "Consti-tutional and Governmental Rights of the Mormons, as Defined by Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States," which we hava received. It contains just uch laws as every Utah! citizen needs to refer to very frequently, and concerning which he converses almost daily. These laws are corn- - plied from authentic sources, care-fully arranged. Price 50 cetit per volume. Mr. chas. Musig, of Sterling, called in to see us this morning. He was returning from the north. Mr. Musig stated that H. N. Larter, road snpervisor of Mt. Pleasant, is doing a very fine piece of work on the county road 2 mile west of Mt. Pleasant. He is constructing a new grade of from j to 3 miles long this will be much appreciated as at times the road was in a very bad condition ai it was almost lyitjg under water.-Ther-will be 180 yards of dirt in the fill, we congratulate Mt. Pleas-ant on their new acquisition as Mr. Larter is an A 1 road supervisor. HOlfE WTfcS!i3:'li .J..
