The amount appropriated for our school for the next two years was If the sum was available 15,000. it would not be quite so bad but not a dollar of it can be had for at least a year.

It came a jood distance for so small a bird, hut. it had the care of the old Eaole, and is entitled to the freedom of this great country. We wish the boys success in raising this young bird of the Mormon state, and may it grow to be as big and sprightly as its Wftntl. baldheaded parent. 0v Residents of Salt Lake City are in a' state of terror over the strange spectacle of mountain lions, coyotes and other wild animals roaming about the streets with the utmost composure, as if it were no unusual thing for them to come into a city of 05,000 inhabitants in search of food. People in the outlying sections of the citv are almost afraid to venture out of doors, so fearful are the of meeting one of these wild beasts of prey. The utmost consternation prevails, and the city authorities are now endeavoring to rid the city of the unwelcome visitors. Unusually heavy snow storms in the mountains have deprived the wild animals of an opportunity to secure food. and they have been driven out of the mountains, ravenous with hunger, to seek it in the city. The lions particularly are getting very bold, enturing even into the business section of the citv. This morning a lion came leisurely down out of Citv Creek canyon, through which Hows the city's water supply drawn from the mountains, and turning into Brigham street went on though the very heart of the residence portion of the city and then trotted on in a bewildered sort of, wav until he came close to the business section of the city and t he big Zion's Mercantile establishment, when the lion turned eastward on Main st. and disappeared. He kept the middle of the street on his journey and made no effort to molest anybody, neither did anyone attempt to dispute the right of way with him. Yesterday afternoon several workmen on a boulevard in the northern part of the city saw two big lions walking along one of the hillsides where, the new part of the city is building up. Shortly after, the half devoured carcass of a line horse they had killed was found near the cemeterv. Lions and coyotes were also daily prowling about the other sections of the citv. Hunters have obtained permission of the city council to kill lions within the city limits. Two of them killed one in City Creek canyon weighing 3(H) pounds, and nine feet in lengh. It is no unusual thing now to see mountain lions killed on the streets of Salt Lake. When you come to Salt Lake come armed. A Winchester and pajr 0 revolvers will answer j I ve property, as was recently done, is perhaps worth rocording as something not verv usual, and of interest to sportsmen as a curiosity. In explanation it may be said that the corporation of Salt Lake owns 2.,(KH) acres of montaiu lands which abut right on the bean of the fashionable residence quarter, but are reserved from in connection with the city water supply. Xo hunting or lishing is permitted over this tract, and wild game seeks shelter within its boundaries. Am.
