Show . The North. A well-known gentleman gentle-man in from the northern portion or the Territory, courteously furnishes us the following items : ' The hoppers are coming and going in Cache co., and are doirm considerable damage to the crops which were look- i ing tine. Bi.-hop P. Mauatian, who has I always beeu a steady friend to the Indians, was expec ing the Bannacks in force, and was borrowing flour, Ate, to feed them during their stay Other Indian - had been in the county tor days living off the hospitalities of the people, who for four yeats past have suffered much from the ravages of the grasshoppers. The good people of the Territory are paying out hundreds of thousands to "Poor -ho" in tree will offerings, following the counsel of President Young, who always says it is cheaper to feed than to fight them, and that humanity and jusdej command com-mand us to show them kindness. Mail irregularities and blunders are complained of all over the territory. In fact, from the northern part of -Arizona to the southern part of' Idaho 1 have heard hundreds of complaints Petitions and consequent removal w uld remedy this trying evil in any other state or territory, but there seems to be no show lor the "Mormons. ' "Moruion" post masters who have served the community and the goveru Djtnt without fault to-' years, are, in cei tain localities, to be removed and their place filled by meu of problematical problem-atical character. With ail due respect for those concerned con-cerned in Weber county, I will intimate tnat no county in the territory i.ot even volcanic Dix e has as good a show for bad roads, more mud and water to pass through, more boulders to run over, narrower and heavier graded dugways, more abrupt water ditches to asceu l and Descend, than in the same number of miles in Weber county. Even its giaded streets are c overed with iaige cobbles This has ai'ways been the condition of Weber county roads. The traveler heartily wi sties for improvement. : Our correspondent in conclusion, says "Ugden Junctin, please copy.' Our Weber county neinbors aro spirit ed and wiii without doubt fix up and m ake the roads all that the most ex acting traveler could require. |
