June 9, 189ti. j My D?ar Parents: -It is a pleasure 'o once more address a few lines to jou to let you know that I ara st ill well and getting along nicely with my work, and I trust these few lines will And you all enjoying the same .rich blessing. When I lust wrote you 1 believe I was on Ratigiioto Island. We remained re-mained there but two days after writing you and then came oei the rolling sea to Whangarae, where we remained a few days and then came on to Oinvastown. During Dur-ing our stay of more than a week at Canvastown we had a n no time. The people were all anxious to have me call on them before leaving, and we were going day and night all the time we were there. It hardly seems like people could change like they have done since I was , first sent to commence com-mence the labor there. When 1 first went among them they would scarcely let me come Inside of their lots, to say nothing about going into their houses, and when 1 was called to leare thoy were all anxious to have me call on them. 1 felt proud of the work 1 had accomplished and I realize that the Lord was with me and ulesscd my labors. The Saints could hardly stand it to see me go, aud it was like takiug leave of a mother aud father to say good-bye to Brother and Sister Witney. Wc bad twenty miles to go to a little village called "The Grove" and here we expected to meet a little steamer that runs to Plcton where we were to take the large boat for Wellington. Well-ington. Sister Simonsen and Elder Cook took ua over there and on our arrival we were surprised to find that the little boat was not there. Thinking Think-ing it would soon come we waited n5 til dark but it did not appear and we did not' know what to do we were eleven miles from Ticton, it was dailc and no steamer. At last we decided to hire a boat and row there, and af-iter af-iter considerable trouble we succeeded in getting one. We now bade tare well to our friends, and for two hours we rowed along in the moonlight and at last reached Picton. We had been there but a few minutes when the 6teamer for Wellington arrived and we boarded her and were soon off for the North Island. We had a fine voyage over, and evep Elder Jex was !not sick. The "Penguin," that being the name our steamer, sailed into the Wellington harbor early next morning. morn-ing. We had considerable business to do in Wellington, which took u. most of the day. In the evenlug we went to Poirua, Bro. Goddard's headquarters, head-quarters, while he was in New Zealand. Zea-land. We remained there one night nd the next day tElder Jex left for Wairarapa, his new field of labor, and I took the next train forOhau. I reached there just after dark and found Elder Dimond, my new companion, com-panion, anxiously awaitiug my arrival and be was much pleased to see me. You might wonder what kind of a man Elder Dimond is. That is the man sitting at the other side of the table writing to his wife look at him. He is about six feet high and weighs about 175 pounds avoirdupois, be is 40 years old next September; by looking again you will see that he has light brown hair, a full beard, of the reddish kind, and if you could see him at home you would see a happy farmer with a wife and six children, and If he should shake the table I would say "Please be still, Bro. Dimond," as that is the name of the man whom I have Just described. . A few days after I reached Ohau I was much plrcased to b6ar from home again and to leirn that all was well with you. "' I "remained at Ohau nearly two weeks, during which time we had some good meetings and had the pleasure of leading a fine lady," Mrs. Kemp, down Into the v waters of baptism, and an Elder always rejoices to see the people yield obedience to the principles of the Gcpel. We then came up to Palmerston $ here re have been for a fe" days - Latest U. S. Gov't Report and are at present. Palmerston is the largest inland citv In New Zealand. Zea-land. It contains about 5,000 people. Is situated in a large open valley about a mile fiom the Manawatu Kiver. The principle industries are farming and sheep raising. Last night Bro. Jepson invited us to g'and spend the evening with some friends of his who w ished to talk with us. We went over and found oneoftlif leaders of the Plymouth Brethren there. I got into an argument argu-ment with him and he became very angry and called me all manner of names, and after pronouncing a heavy curse upon me he left the house in a rage. I then asked the people of the. house to take their bible and we would examine some of the princinles of the Gospel, but the. good (?) Brethren Breth-ren man who had got so wild had quite turned them agitinst. us. But I at last succeeded in getting them interested, and I gave them Gospel pretty straight for about two hours. Bro. Jepson has just come in and said they said they could not sleep all night for thinking of what I had told them. I received a letter from President Gardner a few days ago in which he informed me that 1 am to go home with him. We will leave New Zealand Zea-land in August, go around by Dune-din, Dune-din, Tasmania, Melbourne and on to Sidney, where we will remain a few days until the other elders join usand then wc will sail for Zion, on Sept. 1st, and reach home, if all goes well, about the 1st of October. You see from this that I will soon be with you again. Ever praying for God to bless you, I remain, yaur loving son, R. Leo Bird. Did You Ever. Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for y'uw troubles?

Just What's Needed Exclaims thousands of people who have taken Hood's Sarsaparillaat this time of the year, and who have noted the success of the medicine in giving them relief from that tired feeling, waning appetite and state of extreme ex-treme exhaust ion alter the close con finenient of a long winter season, the busy tine, attendant upon a large and pressing business during the spring months and with vacation time yet some weeks distant. It is then that the building-up powers of Hood's Sar-saparilla Sar-saparilla are fully appreciated. It seems perfectly adapted to overcome that prostration caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the system, it pur ifies and vitalizes the blood. Eat Fruit and Grow Pretty. The warm weather damsel should have a skin like peaches and cream. She would, too, if she only knew how to improve her opportunities. Why doesn't she take advantage of the fruit reason? Why doesn't she scorn pastries, puddings, cream and candies during the few months, at least, wheu for tne mere choosing healthful fruit dainties are hers? Would she aid her digestion, clear up a muddy skin and secure all around health let her become an apple eater. Pears aro health aids, but better when cooked.

Editor Independent I now beg the courtesy of vour valuable val-uable paper to say a few words on a subject of great, importance to our beautiful little qity. 3?ow, in looking around upon our great resources. 1 am very forcibly Struck with the facilities for a canning can-ning factory and also for a starch factory. fac-tory. Here are two industries which do, not require a large amount of capital capi-tal to start with, and when established estab-lished would be worth thousands of ulollars a year to Spring ville and vicinity. Why should we, when we have all the requisites for these industries. i except the buildings and machinery. ship iu hundreds of dollars worth -of starch and canned goods yearly and S'tid out .he money for themV We have markets for the product of ii large canncrv lying at our very door: the surrounding mining camps would take all the product of a large plan tat good ligurcs. And this also would put o;lr fruit growers in a better position to market their product, ln regard to the starch factory, wc a're located in the center of one of the best potato growing districts in the world, and would have the great State of Utah for a market, Either of those industries would be to Spring- vjlle what the sugar factory is to Utah County. I havn't the the data at hand to quote the amount of these two pro ducts which are consumed in Utah but anyone can readily see that If this money was kept at home it would very materially increase the wealth of our Sate, County, and moro especially our city.

CONSTIPATION SHOULD not be regarded as a trifling ailment in fact, nature demands the utmost regularity of the bowels, and any deviation from this demand paves the way often to serious danger. It is quite as necessary to remove impure accumulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expected where costive habit of body prevails. SICK HEADACHE!
