Show sugar sud aadil V vinegar and ancl Spi spirits Ats I 1 GREAT S JIKE GITT city february s 20 1 11 I 1 I 1 mn mit EDITOR i i I 1 P 11 having learned that the machinery for tite r facture or of sugar molasses sj gw and I 1 1 1 I 1 I 1 1 from the beet root has recently wien fallen into the hands of the church at least so far as to be controlled by the counsel and conducted under the ton dance and management of the same I 1 feel it a pleasure if not a duty to state through the news should it be deemed proper that there are combined in this machinery every facility and power for producing not only sugar molasses vinegar and various kinds of liquors from the sugar beet but also oil from flax seed from the castor bean and from the tame sunflower this machinery having gone into operation and having produced a very goo good article of molasses which the people have seen and of which they have tasted there remains no longer a doubt as to its ability to produce as good an article of sugar as can be produced in france from the beet so soon as the necessary y appendages and fixtures can be prepared and will answer every purpose for which it was imported into it hipo thiis valley what an acquisition c us ti t to 0 this new and isolated settlement sace saccharine matter ter is brought the reach of every laborer beets of the choicest quality are grown here in rich abundance fuel from tile the mountains in large quantities of necessity must be used arid and labor must mast bring these articles besides many others that must be used to the very door or gate of the manufactory where they are readily exchanged n ed for the products of the establishment the attention of our farmers and gardeners cannot therefore be too pointedly and urgently directed to the culture 0 of f the sugar beet the castor bean the sunflower and flax seed the more free and liberal use of sugar and molasses particularly among children would antar greatly e a ay tend to promote their health and prove an antidote 0 t against many ills that now afflict them in addition to the luxury arid and comfort to be enjoyed vinegar is also an important article here as its free use counteracts and several other complaints incident to this climate brandy whisky rum and gin are useful in many cases for their stimulating medical properties and some even say that they are good to take on both extra and common occasions be this as it may these liquors are all produced from the beet and the grain is unmolested and undisturbed for this purpose but remains for bread and food for animals the wise virgins took oil in their vessels with then their lamps but the foolish ones were told to go and buy for themselves we have been sending our money out of the country to buy oil and have we not been foolish long enough especially after this means of helping liel ping ourselves and of becoming wise are placed within our leach flax seed can be exchanged for oil who then that wishes his house fence wagon carriage or any furniture J painted will neglect to raise a good crop of this seed that he may obtain oil for all these purposes aud and then have the flax to spin into thread and weave into cloth let thine apparel be the beauty and work of thine own hands castor beans are an ornament to any garden or farm they keep gophers arid and moles away from the promises premises and are rich in oil which is very useful as medicine and for burning and for preserving the beauty and life of tile the hair sunflower ailis go good d for courser coarser painting such as fences barns and various various outhouses out houses and also for lights and probably may be used in dressing leather to profit and advantage who then will be found without oil after the fhe present season the foolish virgins may but the wise ones hardly will begin now to create what you need for your comfort health and convenience out of ef the elements that are all around you yon and if yon yoa begin on these small principles and by perseverance succeed in your enter enterprise prize you yeu will always be able to create what you need if you remain faid faithful ifill As inhabitants of this world that swims in the boundless ocean of space you may see the time when your increase increase will require more territory to inhabit then you may find use for your gigantic creative powers to bringa world out of the elements that surround you and may do it with as much ease ahyou now can bring OU oil and sugar out of the simple elements with which you are at present acquaints acqua inte 1 he that is faithful over a few things shar shall be made ruler over many while the for going subjects should be constantly in the minds eye the raising of wheat should not be forgotten or neglected the previously named commodities ril modi 0 cities ties may all be dispensed with and life remain but the 8 taff staff of life which is bread is indispensable plough and sow your fields with wheat the mountains are thickly clad with snow which be tokens plenty of water for irrigation and consequently a fruitful season let us go to with our this season and develop the resources of the soil in every possible shape and manner and to the people from pottawatomie I 1 would say rema remain inhere here ago go not to california for gold and prove yourselves unworthy the compliment that was paid you of being the chaff and tailings of the heap you will prove yourselves I 1 am confident to be the pure wheat whose bread your accusers will seek with greater avidity than they now accuse you of seeking the gold of california not only to the good folks from pottawatomie would I 1 say this 3 but unto all that are in these valleys stay here raise wheat corn and every useful thing build a temple in the tops of the mountains unto the name of our god that we may begin the work of saviors to save our living and our dead and if in a little adversity we lay jay the foundation of our greatness the top stone may be brought forth with the shouts of prosperity and Hosan nabs to god and the lamb truly your servant and fellow laborer in the kingdom and church of our god ORSON HYDE gre great 2 salt SIt lake C city tyl feb 1853 editor of the news dear sir As we frequently hear that persons are going to california ia and often that they have been counseled to do so by us we wish to sa say y that we do not preach on ething and practice another our sentiments we have avowed publicly and in in private in all the settlements on the road from san bernardino to this place save two aswell as well as in this city repeatedly and further that no person has been advised by us to go east west north or south since our arrival in the territory our feelings are as expressed in our teachings that the place for the saints is wherever the counsel of the tae lord through the presidency of the church may place them and to go when sent and to come when called this we believe to be the ledge and duly cfall of all saints without thinking for a moment by any other changes to serve the in crests of the masters cause with whom obedience is better than to than the fat of rams we hope that after the very plain and pointed advice and counsel given by the presidency eliat th at the saints knowing their duty will be found in the path of obedience we went to california because we were sent to build up the kingdom of gd and for the same reason we are here not by pulling down one part to build up another and if our acts have not proved what we pow now say let those that know the facts speak and if any think to leave here without counsel and think to be fellow shipped by us they are mistaken as we consider that those who love n not of god sufficiently to serve him in one J jalace place will not do it in another so if they would go to california they will confer a favor if they would take the northern route which will the sooner bring them to the palace of the golden god and spare us the curse of their faithless faithlessness f we do not feel that in our fathers kingdom we have any private interests to serve but as faithful sons to be ever watchful of the rich patrimony decender dec ended from the fathers and assigned to our care in the establishment of this dispensation to preserve this unspotted is our hi highest 9 h est ambition other interests int rests we have none in this is is the wealth the honor and the glory we seek in this our heaven our happiness our all and to th fh enjoyment of these we pray pay our heavenly father to preserve us with all the faithful in the name of jesus amen AMASA LYMAN CHARLES C RICH EDITOR OF THE NEWS aws sir agreeable to the request of the citizens of mill creek ward published in the news of the ath dinst calling on the citizens of the
