Half of St. George and the whole of Leeds are on the road, it is said, to the lake. DIAMOND VALLEY. The tent belonging to Sheriff Brooks dissapeared during the small hours of Sunday morning last. One of our local attorney's, being on the spot, investigated, investi-gated, and it appearing that Bro. Frank had given his consent, George's wrath was appeased. The Dymond (by the way. who remembers re-members that this is the correct spelling) spel-ling) Valley Dry Farm and Improvement Improve-ment Association is very much in evidence, evi-dence, at least, the dry part of it is. The present occupier of the Edward's ranch has enclosed part of the old roadway, road-way, and has a notice erected across it to the following effect: 'Water for horses 5c. a head." The law should prevent this outrage upon dumb animals ani-mals harnessed to the service of man. and' prevented hunting a home for themselves. At present it offers a premium to teamsters who are careless about their animals to unduly deprive them (the animals) of one of the necessities neces-sities of life. If the owners of water require payment for that which they have acquired from Government, they might charge the man for his drink and leave it free for women, children and dumb animals. Bro. Chad has a full crop of peaches and apricots. They have just arrived at an eatable stage and in a few days more will be perfect. SHEOL CREKK. "What's in a name?" Readers of 'the revised version of the 'bible will remember that the word- "Hell," meaning the place of departed spirits 'and where Christ went after his death, is given the Hebrew name of "Sheol," whilst "Hell," meaning the place of torment, is translated by the word "Schenna." Sheol must be the place paved with good intentions. Anyhow, the brethren of Sheol creek intend to build a dam eighty feet high, but at present are forced to be content with one of twenty feet. Even the limited amount of water saved by this small dam has proved the wisdom of those who initiated the work. The settlement settle-ment at the mouth of the creek, known as Enterprise,.. includes some stalwart sons of Utah. Bro. Ben Morris knows all about it and can give pointers to those who are home seekers. Why should our brothers and sisters of Washington county go' to Nevada, an. alien state, to raise their families when they can get good land and plenty of water at their very doors? It is the old story of throwing away she substance sub-stance to catch the shadow. Let this people stay at home and not help to depopulate de-populate the valleys of the mountains moun-tains given to them by God Himself. PINTO. Mrs. Rhoda Cannon and family, as also Miss Nora Cannon who has been an invalid for some weeks arrived here: Sunday morning. They appreciate the cool mountain air.

He is sadly crippled with rheumatism, caused through working at the mill at De Lamar. Previous to that, in 1890, he was leaded at Pioche, which probably accounts for the ill success attending his attempts to cure the rheumatism. He attended the warm springs but derived no benefit. He reports marvellous mar-vellous cures in other cases at the Springs. Honor the pioneers Old newspapers for sale at this office 25 cents per hundred.

Lund, the well-known merchant mer-chant of St. George, came up from the south last night and is at the Cullen. Mr. Lund's visit to the capital will last several days, as he is here on railroad business and matters pertaining to the Staie Board of Equalization, of which he is a member. Mr. Lund states that business continues good in Dixie, and the people down there take as much interest in the war news as those who excel them in facilities for getting the latest reports. Mr. Lund states that there is nothing new in the railroad situation, but the press and people of his section and their Nevada neighbors are still working and wishing for the consummation of their cherished hopes. ;tlt Lake Tribune.

'"Ras" Whitehead propounds the following: "What's the difference between be-tween a skittish 'bike' and a skittish mare and cart?" He says, from personal per-sonal experience: "The former throws off, the latter throws out." It seems" he had a little difference with the mare on.Tuesday, somewhere between Kel-sey'3 Kel-sey'3 and Kannara, and as a result they parted company. The former took refuge re-fuge with Alex. Andrus, who happened'' happen-ed'' to be near while the fun was on. The mare did not see the lake but was returned in disgrace with the shattered fragments of the cart to the Temple city. Ras' friends will be glad to know that the accident won't interfere with his regular attendance at the meeting of the M.I. C'onfcienee.

Wallis, editor and proprietor proprie-tor of the Washington County News, a new paper launched at St. George, evidently understands his business.- The first two issues were sent out' as an experiment. Mr. Wallis told the citizens of Washington county that they could enjoy the luxury of a good local paper provided they would give him proper support. It rested with them whether they preferred to march to the music of progress or remain in darkness and isolation. They evidently evi-dently saw the genuine stuff of which Wallis is made, for this week the News is well filled with advertisements, advertise-ments, and the paper is iu every way a gem.
