When tinishwl it will he the prettiest, ns it is the most appropriate building for shows in this part of the territory. The amateurs did first-rate there, and were well receivtd. In Lehi I did not find anything of a. startling nature to writs of. The people were wrapped up in the closing exercises attending an abundant harvest; har-vest; running threshing machines nod Ihniring mill; feeling happy and tiianklul fur the result ol their suni-mer'a suni-mer'a work, and peaceably jogging along in quietness and contentment. Bishop Evans hero is a good-hearted I gentleman, respected by the Lehi folks and honored in his position. I found at American Fork a life in h.iaini.jH cimlo Mint eh arflcleri zpd nn other of ihc Utah county settlements, Frovo not excepted. Perhaps this is on account of the travel constantly passing through it to the canon, the mines, tho terminus and the adjacent towns It appears to be a central point for the northern section of tho county, the trade of which is considerable. Parlies of tour'nts pass through the place daily, traveling to American Fork canon, to view the grand, majestic and incomparable incom-parable scenery up there. And none return dissatisfied with their trip, but uro tireless in praising and extolling the magnificence, grandeur and ex-tensivenessoftho ex-tensivenessoftho scenery and beauties of that sight-seeing resort. At Ihe terminus of the railway and head of ' the canon are twenty-seven charcoal-burning charcoal-burning kilns, all being successfiillv run by Mr. H. D. McAliister. Tnese "Poynet Ardens" supply a number of smellers in several mining districts with charcoal, and employ, for waod-hauling waod-hauling purposes, about thirty teams. This city leads in having amusements and its hall is pretty constantly in use, either for parties or dramatic entertainments. en-tertainments. The chief occupations of the citizens at present appear to be hay-hauling, corn-cutting and carting, cart-ing, fruit-drying and freighting. The schools commence the fall term on Monday, with bright prospects for teachers and trustees. Of the mercantile mer-cantile houses the Co-op, Grant's variety va-riety aud musical establishment, and Cbipman's general dealing house are the ones in which the big trade is carried on, and they urcm -to-to making; good dividends. On Thursday a man nanied Hater died here from injuries received in American Fork canon recently, by having a team and wagon run over him. An almost incredible amount of dried fruit is being taken in at the stores and housewives and "good" girls are at it late and early, paring, rlicing and spreading it out, and when dried converting it into dry goods, groceries, etc. The worms havo got this far and apples have Buffered. At Battle Creek, Springville, Spanish Span-ish Fork and Payson I noticed several old, grey-headed grasshoppers sur veying the country about those settlements, settle-ments, with a view, no doubt, to locating neit season. I would repeat the advice you have often given the agriculturists of the territory: and tell them to take care of their surplus grain; they may need it, to use as a reserve fund next season. But, I hope not. J. E. E. |
