Show reverses came, for next we find the old press at Florence, in the territory of Nebraska, printing the Pot Baton, at $2 per year. Then the press returns to Council Bluffs and the Council Bluffs Bugle Is estaMished. This is in 1S63. The Bugle is sold at $3 a year and has for its motto, "Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again." Many contributors of the present time were writing writ-ing for the Bugle. "Veritas" has an ably written article on unjust taxation, while "Pro Bono Publico" speaks feelingly of misguided mis-guided legislation on the part of the city fathers. The BugUi passes to that silent majority ma-jority whence newspapers never come back, and, the Crescent City Onu-le springs into existence, exist-ence, followed by a change of editors and name to the JfunUmun'x Echo. This is April 19, 1870. There the thread is dropped. Where is the silent history of this atced machine? Has the greedy maw of time opened and closed forever with the aspirations, the hope, the suffering and perhaps per-haps the success or failure of those who held I aloft the torch of freedom and liberty, and whose bright blaze painted the hopes of a i people struggling in darkness and euperstt-r euperstt-r tion on the "black clouds in IetVaa-i&4jld.v - Have you ever seen or heard of the Poly melodeon?

It is a silent, speechless monitor of the days of yore and its place in the present is in the museum or the isolated country village. The pressman, in these days of lightning-winged machines, which consume reams of paper with the rapidity of thought and deliver papers cut, pasted and folded so rapidly that the human mind is appalled at the precision pre-cision and the intricate, yet simple dispatch, dis-patch, gazes upon this old Washington Washing-ton and as he silently rests his hands over the "levee" his naind steals back to those palmy days when 10J "impressions" an hour grounds have been crowded all day, several thousand people being present at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The event of the day was the baby show. At 2 o'clock very nearly 100 babies had been entered for the $50 gold prize offered by the Deseret Agricultural & Mnufacturing society. The baby show is one of the finest exhibits of L'tah's favorite product ever made at the fair. The sweetest, cutest aud prettiest miniature men and women contested for the prizes. The exhibit ex-hibit was made in the grand stand and thousands thou-sands of people iusoected the dainry darlings with loving care. The committee on awards for the baby prizes are H. Bamberger, Major Lammers-dorf Lammers-dorf of Oxden and William Nailer. Almost every department of the fair was subserved to the interests of the baby show this afternoon. The commitlee had not made its award when The Times went to press. THE DESERET WOOLEN MILLS. Magnificent Displiy of Casaimeres, Dress Goods, Blankets and Hosiery. While the exhibits of the various industries indus-tries displayed at the territorial fair show a marked improvement over those made in previous years, in no other line is this more appa-ent than in the woolen fa"brics manufactured manu-factured in this territory. The exhibit made by the Deseret woolen mills this year is one which, not only the owners of the mill may feel justly proud of, but which should also fill the heart of every resident of this trritory with pride and satisfaction, sat-isfaction, as, in excellency of manufacturing manufactur-ing that line of goods, a standard has been attained which enables the manufacturers to compete with any other industry of this sort in the country. Under the efficient management of Mr. Frank Jennings, who is the president and general manager of the mill, every point is beins: taken advantage of to excel in the manufacture of their goods from season to season. Messrs. Simon Brothers, the general agents, are energetic aud wide-awake business busi-ness men, working with all their might to introduce these goods into every part of the Union, and have succeeded in placing them in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Wash-ington, Oregon and California, and arrangements arrange-ments arc being made for their introduction into Chicaso and New York. It is particularly gratifying that the merchants mer-chants of this city are every year taking more pride in the handling of home manufactured manu-factured goods, two firms alone having purchased pur-chased nearly $-0,000 worth this season. was considered a remarkable showing. The printer ah! how often has the old coinp encountered this machine! He haa reviled re-viled its slow, bulky speed and he has extolled ex-tolled its clear, clean impression. He has covered its lejrs with tobacco, juice and scoured its "bed" with emery paper to keep it shining and clear. The editor looks upon tho old machine, with the embossed head of the father of our country and drops a sigh that seems to tremble and die away into the days of long ago. How often has he scorched the base in grate who conducts "the vile contemporary contempo-rary down the street," through the medium of that old press! It has recorded births and followed the young through life, accurately portraying their virtues and covering their shortcomings with the broad cloak which men call charity. Yes, the old press has printed the obituary of business man ripe in years and his sins were glossed with the kind and thoughtful hand of the wrinkled and gray old editor who had been present at the christening of the deceased. And nine chances to one the dead man was three years in arrears for his subscription. The reporter, whose budding genius has long since, under the sunshine of experience, blossomed into a calloused desire to furnish a certain amount of "readible copy," looks at the old press with the awe of reverence. He remembers the time when the Onondaga Countii Clarion and Patriot Citizen used to A Ditching Machine. One of the interesting features at the fair is the daily exhibition of the Burton grading and ditching machine. This machine is nothing more than a heavy plow, with a carrying board four feet long running at an angle with the heavy share. The carrying board is self-adjustable, so that when the plowshare sinks iuto the earth the dirt is forced upward along this carrying board and thrown free and clear from the bed of the ditch. It is possible with this machine to dig a ditch three feet deep and twenty feet wide by handling the dirt twice. Two miles of ditch can be dug in one day by two men and four horses with this machine. It also saves three-quarters the cost of ditch-digging as compared with other methods of building ditches. Yesterday's exhibition of the machine was witnessed by a large crowd ot farmers and men interested in Irrigation. Ir-rigation. The machine was fastened to a traction engine aud was dragged across tho north grounds. It's first trip exposed the earth to a depth of two feet and made a fairly fair-ly good ditch; the second trip over the same ground aud all dirt was thrown free and clear and the ditch went a foot deeper and wider. Those who witnessed the test pronounced the machine a wonderful one and a time and cost-saver to the irrigationist and farmer. FAIR NOTES.

' He is easily recognized. He is always the same. No two were ever known to be different in many particulars. His pockets are filled with lead pencils. He carries paper by the ream and he likes to hear the people refer to him as the life of the Clarion and Patriot Citizen. For a few years he furnishes copy to the printers who "set" the big bulky brevier bre-vier and long primer for the old Washington. Washing-ton. Then the reporter goes to the ci'y, filled with ambition and believing that the golden dawn of -his fame is just beyond the mountain's rim. He is bulTeted by fortune from place to place. He learns the most cruel lesson of his ' life when he understands that he . is looked upan as a machine, fit only to grind out "copy" by the column on the spur of the moment. The flush of hope fades away and he don't give a tinker's cuss whether the golden glow of fame is painting paint-ing the clouds over the mountain's brow or not. His ambition sinks into a desire to fill so much space with news and let the world go on with its never-ceasing grind. To the reporter the press is a touch of a silent hand; it is a whisper from the grave, above which stands the engraved headstone, "He who departs nevtr returns." But let the press speak for itself.
