Any man justly who owes a dollar and will not pay it has stolen a dollar, and is liable to steal another if given an opportunity. Over 200 owe us and their names will be made public in the near future if they don't come to time. Millard Progress. This matter of subscription arrearages arrear-ages is purely one of business between each subscriber and the manager, and why such private affairs should be given the publicity they generally have is not easily to be understood. A Michigan evangelist is inspiring unwonted zeal for salvation among his multitude of hearers. He portrays hell as a large hall, at one end of which a walking match is going on, while at the other "Hob" Ingersoll is delivering a lecture on "Genesis." Pyramid. Colonel "Bob" is the most dangerous danger-ous foe churchmen have had to contend con-tend with for a long time, but they don't appear to know how to (leal with him. If he had lived in the time of Torquemada an 1 the Spanish Inquisition Inquis-ition it would have been a very simple matter. Admitting that the proposed trip of Utah editors to New Orleans is merely a pleasure trip, as some of the papers claim, who in thunder has a better right to a little enjoyment than the housed-up scribes? Besides this, at least something can be learned by each man who goes on the excursion, and from appearances, many Utah editors could stand a little more information in-formation without becoming dangerous. danger-ous. Coalville Times. President Felt's suggestion of an early meeting of the Press Association is a good one and a meeting should be called. There are a number of matters mat-ters of interest to the craft that Rhould be talked over. Ephraim Enterprise. . Editor Uelson is very much charmed with his ability as an expounder of what the Utah Tress Association should or should not do. That's right. Fred; you go on believing your opinions opin-ions immaculate; then you will be sure of having it attended to. Never mind if you do not claim membership, it is your prerogative to exercise d dictatorship over the association's destinies. The editor of this paper is indeed gratified at the liberal advertising given by our pedagogic pencil pusher who goes by the euphonious title "Editor and Teacher" at Marysvale. We feel sure that if we ever have the good fortune to visit this live burg again, their brass band will be at Belknap to meet us with "E litor and Mrs. Brunell" who "are at present stopping in Monroe," at the head of a procession of representative citizens, to do the "hatchet faced imp" honor. Arrangements will certainly be made to have a holiday. Brother Crosby of the Richfle'd Censor, who will have been weaned by this time, but will still enjoy a brief period of maternal association,) should bo permitted aiienaance. ur course Jonnnie Meteer will be given the chairman ship of the home arrangements, so that nothing will be left undone to make it pleasant for the "raea.ley headed" destiny director of the Inde pendent. We would again call attention to the meeting of the Western Editorial Federation of New Orleans in October next, and urge the newspaper men throughout the west to make arrange ments to attend. We trust that every editor and newspaperman eligible to membership west or the Father of Rivers will look into and decide to become a member of this young editorial organization. We'feel certain that the Utah Press Association will . doallitcan to contribute to the up building of the fraternal sentiment among the craft, which has become a 1 irge factor in the W. E. F.,'and we trust that Utah will send a large delegation of newspaper men and women to New Orleans in October. Our Goat. W. F.

Provo is not so hoggish as our neighbor at times seeks to infer. Rural Press. Etchings would be pleased to know who in Springville has ever asked for a county fair. The Independent has always maintained that one should be held and that the tirst one should be given at rrov; tnen every year thereafter at various towns in the county. Provo should very properly have the first one, then Springville come in at some subsequent time when she could show good reasons for its location. The meetings of the Coalville coun cil are opened with prayer and closed with the benediction. Why not introduce in-troduce the practice in Park City? If the Mayor or aldermen could not see their way clear to perform the duties of chaplain, the fire chief or city marshal, or even the city scavenger, might be induced to do the invocat-ing. invocat-ing. The experiment would do no harm, and much good might result from it. Park Record. Springville has had this ceremony from time immemorial, and ever found it a pleasing and profitable feature of the council proceedings Mr. X. R. Kelly has a splendid article entitled "Why We Teach Nature" in the last number of Public Schools. Editor and Mrs. Brunell are at pres ent stopping in Monroe for the benefit of Mrs. Brunell's health which has been very poor of late. .It is hoped th.it a change of atmosphere and tccess to the mineral springs may tend to recuperate her. Piute Pio neer. Brother Brunell criticises the In dependent for its "weighty, terse and logical" editorials. The foregoing is a6ample of his, which are certainly not lacking in the egotistic presumption presump-tion that his readers may like to know something of the editor and teacher and Mrs. The Southern Censor is a yearling. With the following issue it enters upon its second-year. The Pioneer extends congratulations to Editor Crosby on his success, well knowing from its own experience that it is under adverse circumstances he has attained it. But Crosby, now that you are a yearling, don't longer, we pray you, be a suckling; wean off from your stepmother at Springville. Piute Pioneer. Wonder if Brother Brunell means anything personal ia this? What do you think, George? It will be a hard burden for many of our fruit growers if the reported killing of the bigger half of Brig-ham's Brig-ham's peach and cherry crop turns out to be true. Some say almost the entire crop has been killed, but more hopeful fruit growers think there will be at least a good half crop, such a yield often proves mors profitable profit-able than a too thrifty crop, the fruit becoming a larger and better variety, consequently bringing a higher price. Brigham City Bugler. Fortunately the fruit in this valley has escaped Jack Frost. In Springville Spring-ville particularly the canyon breezes almost invariably carry off the extreme ex-treme low or high temperature, there by modifying, it so fruits and vegetables veg-etables are rarely affected. The power plaut people are very much disappointed with the decision of Judge Dusenberry. They say it is in the nature of a special pleading that is bound to be set aside before the supreme court, to which tribunal the case will at once be "taken. "He entirely ignores," said one of the olneers to-day, "the main qucstion'of priority of right." Enquirer. It is to be expected they would not enjoy losing the suit. It would seem from the attitude of the Enquirer all through the controversy that the Company are not the only ones disappointed. dis-appointed. The Provo power dam is suffering fjosn a very severe attack of smallpox: small-pox: The Utonian gave an illustration illustra-tion on Saturday of its appearance that day and will no doubt givo a daily bulletin of its condition.

Call and sje him immediately for terms, tf SHE WANTS TO BE RIGHT. Just to show what severe criticism an editor is subject to, we print the following from a person who says that she has paid up her subscription in full, and as her example is a good one, both in paying her debts and wanting to be right for the future, we commend com-mend it to our readers. Her reference to editors and their reading matter may be a little personal, but then we do not wish to argue the point with the good intentioned woman: Mister heditur we seed in your paper ter day 2 werses of Potry rit by Exchange which tells foks ho dont pa for tha paper tha kant go to tha hevenlv land where good "Elizah" went, i ed like to know ho this Liza wus and if its a man ur a wumun, cause i don't owe the paper nothing, an i want to git on the rite trail, i looked in thee bible to see how this pay up pusson got thar, but i coodent rind any a that name rit down, tnen i thout well hediturs don't never reed in the bible, an maybe it was one of exchanges frends ho didnt borrer the paper off a thare naybors, an so found a shorter cut to tha bevenly place, will you ask Exchange about it as we are al1. interested in such things.

A great amount of labor and capital has been expended in bringing the water from mountain stream to the farms. The most common method is to flood the land. Wheat generally gets two to three waterings during the season. A contributor to The Orange J udd Farmer, Far-mer, writing from Utah, says in this connection. My 28 years experience has convinced con-vinced mo that two applications are sufficient, and when judiciously applied ap-plied will fully mature the crop. The tirst watering should not be given until un-til the grain covers the ground pretty well. Flooding the land while the wheat is very young and tender has a tendency to bake the ground. When the grain covers the land properly, the sun's rays do not strike the surface and it remains moist for a considerable consider-able length of time. The last application appli-cation should be given when the grain is in the dough. If given latter than this, it does little or no good. Care should be taken not to use too much water, as when there is much waste water running off the land, especially where the surface slopes to any considerable con-siderable degree, It has a tendency to carry away a great many of the liner particles of soil, and especially Is this the case where the land has been manured. To facilitate this kind of Irrigation It is well, when the grain is sown In the spring, after the roller has bee n over the field, to use a marker, something some-thing after the stylo of the old corn marker. Take a straight log six or eight Inches iu diameter and twelve feet long. With a two-inch auger bore holes for the teeth two feet apart. Make the teeth a foot long, having them flat and about as broad as a man's hand.'' Turn the flat side forward. Be sure to set the teeth so that they slope backward. This will prevent the seed being torn out of the ground. The extra labor in going over the field with such a marker will save a vast amount of labor when irrigating time conies, as the water will follow the small furrows made by the teeth and at the same time seep from one to the other, so that the ground will all be watered. ONLY A DOZEN. Joe Allen is reported to have about fainted last week when he read the Independent containing the report of his family affairs. He says as near as he can tell there are only twelve children in his family all together, when this report alleged "a baker's dozen;" further, he denies that the child is to be called "Pete." He wants a classic name this time such as Dave, Mephistopl.les or Jonah. He also states that it was no April fool affair; he knew about it long before April flrst. Aud more important than all the little fellow cast his preliminary bawl on the circumambient air on Sunday instead of Monday. THROUGH SERVICE.
