Boad Enter Salt Lake, LET THE CITY COUNCIL GBANT The Franchise and Then Work Will be Commenced by Which the Deep Creek Line Will be a Benefit. Attention, Deep Creek devotees! Deep Creek or bust! On to Deep Creek! Such were tho exclamations heard on all sides today. Men interested in the enterprise dropped in tho American National bank and asked President Bacon what of tho proposed road A healthy child," was the reply, and tho questioner left to tell tho news to his neighbor. Deep Creek was the talk all day long. Deep Crock it is aud the Deep Creek road shall go.

But I am forgetting my real estate and arithmetic arithme-tic add these last items together and you have $20,000,000; deduct from this sum the present income from the potato and gooseberry patch and you have nineteen million and a fraction dollars. After the third year you may deduct from tho present income from the potato patch Ihe cost of lii.OUO lots in the cemetery at $1 each, or one for each ofourpreseut population (I think we will get them cheap then) anil your result re-sult would be well, you can figure that out yourself.
