| Show is mm progress at lake shore AND WARDS where spanish fork gets her grit turkeys at argyle brothers LAKE SUCRE once inspired with the business din of spanish fork and enrapt in the sub limi ties of its surrounding 3 one could scarcely imagine that just six miles lays one of the richest suburban districts in bounty which indeed is the alluvial cream of our crescent burghs payson and spanish fork and without pouring cold water on either of them we must admit that both places are measure ably dependent upon alie entire district comprising benjamin arid lake shore in short we may look upon this section as did the hebrews in the time of pharaoh upon egypt there is corn there lets go down and get an ear true there is not much corn raised there but an abundance of the small cereals and fruit without worms in it as also all of the vegetables common to utah and other temperate climates over pounds of wheat were shipped from lake shore this year and as much more is in storage at the coop co op store ready to send off bishop snell of spanish fork raised bushels of lucern seed and lat year john jones threshed for himself nearly 1400 bush tig others raise the seed according ty their land interests the hum of the threshing machine is daily heard as the shell he seed out by the thousands after raising one crop of hay the next is let grow for seed yielding about iteen bushels to the acre large herds of cattle and horses are grazing in the fields and pastures several hundred head of beef cattle have been sent to salt lake city and other markets this fall fourteen years ago what was known as the indian farm or i enervation was thrown open to settlers and since that time the two settlements benjamin and lake shore have been made lake shore comprises most ot the site of the reservation and is about six by four milea in extent much difficulty was experienced at first on account of water for culinary purposes some neighbors hauling it several miles in barrels but abon that difficulty was obviated when the benjamin and lake shore canal was made and a little later numerous numea ous artesian wells poured forth large streams of water thus biving succor to the orchards and r ien plants one well now runs fe alons per minute now that we hane settled the dust let talk about something else the turkeys for instance we have on one ranch and on another ti ev looked at first but we learned afterward that they were turkeys belonging to argyle bros some of the largest ones weigh twenty five to thirty pounds and the bishop thinks of stuffing them more the boys have bought nearly all the spare lurks they can and their monopoly vill soon cease so much for the turk tie sultans A glimpse around the ward blows a very marked spirit of profession especially ally inTe to their

officers ceis in connection with the recent death which occurred at that station the body had been placed in the freight house awaiting the arrival of sheriff fowler and coroner As soon as these gentlemen arrived the agent demanded that the body should be removed from the freight house al once there was no place at the station where the body could be moved to while an inquest was being held and fowler became very righteously indignant that any euca a demand should be made and informed the agent that if he desired the body removed he could do so but they the county official would not do so until an inquest had been held you have been cutting men to pieces here all summer long added the sheriff and dumping ahem off on the county without any compunctions whatever and now you have the gall to ask us to move this body out of the freight house even beford an inquest is held when you know there is no aiace excena the street where the body can be moved to suffice it to say the body was not until after the inquest had been held this suggests another question Is it richt for railroad companies to maim and kill people and then shoulder the expense of caring for them off on the county we think not the very least the railroad companies could do under such circumstances would bo to render all possible aid to those poor unfortunates who had met with accident GODS blessing man kind
