Oa Saturday, in the Third District Court, the Flint case .1 ; ;' ' Logan, March 11, 1875.',' Editor Juxctmn: , I Dear Sir: This morning Our beautiful city is clothed in a mantle of white, which, makes us think spring is not yet at hand, but by noonday, if we are to judge the future by the past, it will have mingled itself with mother earth, much lo the disgust and displeasure of the pedestrian, but to the complete satis- faction of the "boot black" or more properly speaking, the "shiner." By the bye, I forgot that I was not in the great city of Ogden where ''shiners" are numerous, here every man is his own shiner if he shines at all. Our sturdy farmers are anxiously awaiting the spring time that they may again busy themselves tilling the soil and make it bring forth of its abundance. To take a bird's eye view of the bins a person would naturally conclude that it was high J time a new harvest was at hand. , Steps are being taken to rsume the labors on our new Tabernacle, which rose to the height of about fifteen feet during the lust summer, which we hope will be completed during the present season. It wi.l devolve upon the few, as usual, I suppose to the complet on of this fine accorap!i-structure. I am sorry to say that it is estimated that only about one third of the population of this city contributed of their means which God in His mercy has blessed them with, that they might, erect buildings unto His name. We need this building above all others, for Logan is withont a respectable meeting house or house of worship. I sincerely hope the people will take hold of this matter and push the work on this building to a speedy completion. There is some pretty strong talk "of of a woolen factory being built here soon. Times are looming up some little, in consequence of a railroad tie contract which Hon. M. Thatcher procured while East, and is giving the people of this valley the advantage of, inmiy of whom will doubtless avail themselves of this opportunity of obtaining some available means, and thereby keep their, wheat for the support ol their families, while others of a certain class, that exist in all communities, of a jealous and disposition, and whose families are, to a great extent destitute, lie around the streets and do nothing to earn an honest living, and preferring to do nothing rather than to work lor less than from $2 50 to $4,00 per day. Mr. Thatcher in my opinion did this community a very great favor last fall by using his infiueuce to procure contracts for lies, which this community bad the advantage of, and realized several thousand therefrom, and now be conies forward and tells the people here is another opportunity of possessing a little means. Do they they thank him for these acts No! Docs he ask of, magnanimity? them to?. I suppose not The point I wish to make is this, 1 hear many talking after this fashion: "Mr Thatcher allows so much for these ties and he gets as much mere; in other words, clears one halt. I should view this matter as a business matter' entirely, and. if I can make wagis by getting out ties at Mr Thatcher s figures, well and good, if not, there is no law by which I can be compelled to do so, except that of necessity; , if such is the then, I will either get out his or not, and will not allow myself to speculate as to what Mr. Thatcher gets for his quota so long as I am being benefited through his instrumen. :' ... lj h to-da- y fault-findin- V.

I left llrig-hatraveling with Bishop Ward as far as his Diocese, where I rema:ned all night, arose early next morning in order to intercept the C. V. train bouud for Ogden. A very short time brought us to the great Junction City of the West, on reaching whioh, we heard the sound of "Ogden, change cars for Salt Lake, and the easi, one hour for breakf ut at tbeJunetion Hotel." An hour in this busy place soon passed, and we were again on the move, winding our way up Weber Kanyon, one of the mighty gorges of the Wasatch. The first place of note is the "Devil's Gate." Ibis is no doubt the place through which his Satanic Majesty, in days gone by, made bisingtesson foot into our beautiful va'.leys. But since the advent of rail roads he. travels by steam power, which probably acceunts for so many of his imps in our midst, in the Bhape of ringites. The scenery here is picturesque and grand, the foaming waters leaping and roaring below and on either side the towering mountains of the Wasatch extending to an elevation of seme thousands ef feet. The puffs of the locemotive denote that we are again moving; we leave Mouutain Green to our left, and emerge into the Weber Valley, which is settled by the industrious "Mormons." A few miles ride and we reach Weber Station. Here the valley contracts into what is called Tbe Narrows, through which we pass to another opening, called Hound Valley. This is about the first '.'Mormon" settlement through which the eastern tourist passes on his way to "Mormondom." I am happy to say this is not a fair specimen ei tbe cities of the Saints, for here they still maintain the old frontier style of architecture of twenty five years ago By the number of young "Mormons'" on the tops of the huts, and in the doorways watching the passing trains, tlire is sufficient evidence that the settlers at least obey one of God's first oomtnand mentg "Multiply and leplenish the r Josh Billings says: Morgan City, Mar.
