Show SANl'ETE. (Correspondence uf the IIubalb.) Mount Pleasant, April 10, '75. Editors Herald: The "beautiful" not being content to fiii the mountain gorges at ill hovers over our beautiful valley, and the icy king holds in embrace the earth and slreams. The farmer feels annoyed an-noyed at tbiB dalliance, and would be pleased could he by plow and spade disperse the wintry revullera. A long tedious winter, depleted wheat bins, lowered hay Btacks, and still winter makes the husbandman gloomy, and when these solid men of the earth are despondent the upper circles of mankind feel it most sensibly. Never before was this "granary of Utah" so empty. The farmer is -invariably scolded for this state of things. Wheat is the only dollar he raises; it is bis circulating medium. Why not scold the capitalist who, having capital, j could hold the sta0, but he also must sell. When capital shall come into this county, then and not till then will we see our streets clear of the lounging hundreds who from five to six mouths in the year eat up the productd of their labor of the previous six months. There is po-utively nothing to do. The young men are not learning trades; there is as yet no opportunity to do so down our way. It requires tho expenditure of thousands ot d liars before successful manufactories can be started. It seems a burning shame that even the little article of matches bearing the brand of Michigan should be spread all through tho territory. The Presbyterians have purchased Independence Hall, and are holding Blated services thciein. Quite a number num-ber of pupils have signified their intention in-tention to enter the school as soon as tbe teachers arrive, who, I am informed, in-formed, are already in the territory. terri-tory. The two coal companies operating in this county are still sanguine ot success. The one at Fairviuw is boring bor-ing with great success into tho hills for the consuming wealth of black diamonds. Tbe other company, whose headquarters is Wales, ie pushing push-ing the railroad grading to tap the unlimited deposits oi the western hills. Efforts are to bo made for a mail route through Spanish Fork canon, which, by the way, was open to travelers all last winter. Tho route is to pass through the new settlements now being formed in the beautiful valley val-ley of Thibtle. Here also Indian Juc and his band wish to occupy a farm once laid out by the authorities for Lo's use and profit. Some settlers having experienced Lo's forgetlulness ot favors conterred, and remembering only depredations, are distrustful. It is even rumored that efforts will be made to have the ageDt of the U. S. see to bis wards and put them on the reservation. D. 0. |
