Show TO I 1 OUR AGENTS AND ACT subscribers for several years past in order to accod those living in the country and in other cities of the fhe territory who wished to subscribe for or the new yew butwid but did not know how they could pay for it in consequence of the scarcity of money and the expense attending the transportation of produce especially to those living at any considerable distance from the city agents have been appointed throughout the territory who have from time to time been instructed how to manage teana 0 e things BO so as to beneat benefit themselves yeb yes and arid those for whom they acted and at the same time be a I material aid in keeping the financial affairs of the office in fit a healthy condition where those instructions have to any extent been carried out the result has fully proven tha the utility of the plan thus adopted it is isa a hard bard matter to make some men understand der stand things that are continually transpiring around them and to convey ideas to them in a way so that they can comprehend what wha i t is Inteli intended ded to be communicated A few of the agents for the them news have been of this sort and instead of finan ciering for those who took the papers through their agency and devising some way for them to pay their subscriptions script ions by a system of exchanges they have done little or nothing towards accod peishing plis pils pil shing bing the object intended to be effected by this angenent arrangement arr to illustrate our ideas in relation to this matter we will suppose that in a place some forty or fifty miles from this city there are forty fotty subscribers who for various reasons cannot pay cash but have plenty of wheat and other things wherewith to pay all they owe and for all they need which they jo do not produce themselves they wish to take the papers but for each one to make a journey to the tbt city on purpose to bring 0 wheat enough to pay the price of subscription would be attended with an expense double the amount required to be paid for this ia is not a country of steamboats canals and railroads neither is it likely to I 1 be very soon and there are no means of transportation except by hauling this expense they do not feel able to meet and perhaps their circumstances are such that they cannot conveniently do it but it if they could pay in jn wheat at home to an agent not at two and a half dollars a bushel when the market price may be only one dollar but at a fair market value I 1 they would do it readily and be glad of the chance cliance the agent then could by a little exertion exchange b t the he wheat or other produce thus received for tor nattle cattle or stock of some kind that could be drove and not have to be hauled to market and anc always received here in payment at fair prices or if it the agent preferred b he could sell to stock dealers for cash and pay that over to the office either would do and mutually benefit all concerned again if the agent was a business man as to be and making improvements of some kind or following some business for the benefit of himself ant ana community be he could without hait halt trying manage mana ge to make turns with his bis subscribers or employ them to his benefit as well as theirs in the course of the year and pay the office in available means making thereby a handsome profit to himself thousands of men nuen make fortunes by pursuing a course of the kind and are glad when opportunities tuni tunit les ties odfer offer for aiding them in their operations and why cannot others do the same rhen when receiving twenty per cent over and above all they may otherwise make by the operation where money ia is plenty and men can find a ready market for the product products of their industry a course like ilke the one pointed out would be un called callea for but situated as the people of this territory are where money is and will be scarce so long iong ion lon as importations are carried on to the extent they have been heretofore with a li limited M cited demand at home and nothing pro dac duc A elhat can an be taken to a foreign market excepting stock without a system of domestic exchange there would be but little thrift towns and cities could not be built nor im prow ments of any kind made if there was no other way of paying the laborer excepting in ready cash these remarks are made not in the spirit of 0 fault finding but simply to state things as they are or as we understand them and andalan also aiso to answer the inquiries that have been made by some as to what course should be pursued in relation to these matters some of those who have heretofore taken the new and still wish lo 10 continue their subscriptions script ions lons have objections to subscribing to our agents and prefer having their papers mailed to them direct thae that is all right there is no compulsion about it ily hy subscribing at the office and paying in advance their papers papera can be sent to them direct wherever they wish that is to the nearest post 0 office nce to the place where they are located loci ltd and we shall take pleasure at all times in complying with their wishes but papers will wili not net be sent in that way unless there td a strict compliance with the ruie rule of iare payment repayment r no other course could safely be pursued circumstances have compelled the adoption of the rule rale that on an average at least one thi third d of the amount of tha yearly subscription must be paid in cash to enable us to pay for the stock which has to be imported at a heavy expense as exchanges cannot be made mide in time to raise the means to send for the paper ink ac tcp so that it can be brought on this season A circular was waa issued to the agents a few weeks since informing them of ibis fact and also to call their attention to the settlement of their accounts with the office and we are happy to say that the response which has baa been made has fully met our expectation thus far should all qi do as well as some have done the amount of money required will be forthcoming in time to send for the he stock required this spring in order to continue con tinne the publication when that is done we shall be willing to receive in payment from subscribers and agents either on old accounts that may be due or for the current volume produce or anything that can be made available at fair market prices should they prefer paying in that way for the benefit of the agents we are making out and forwarding to them a statement of their accounts in order to facilitate the settlement of the same others who have accounts will be called upon shortly by a special agent aid we trust they will be prepared to square up in some way hereafter by y pursuing the course proposed much difficulty will be avoided in relation to the financial department though we have not much fault to find with what has heretofore transpired in this respect the circumstances that have continually attended the people of this territory since their settlement in these remote and secluded valleys we thoroughly understand their energies in many cases have been taxed to the utmost and as a general principle we do not feel to complain of their apparent remissness remiss in some things 0 it is true that some have not been as energetic in the performance of their duties to themselves and the community as others but we do not cot attribute their inactivity to any wrongful neglect we trust there are better times coming and that every good man will improve them to advantage when we commenced panning penning 0 this article we had no intention of making t it so lengthy but seeing no place to stop w we e kept wiling and if it does not suit your ideas and taste you need not read it we wished to say something in relation to those matters and to do it in a way that would be understood by those of our readers who are interested and for whom they are intended and arid at the same time answer many man inquiries that are made as to the course we intend pursuing with our subscribers hereafter now if the terms suit you come and subscribe if they do not all right do as you please and we will not be offended THE california MAIL arrived on sunday the enst about noon major do dodge doe dge indian agent for the carson valley district in the western part of this territory came in a passenger the carriers report that the men who were weis with the mail which left his this bis city on the uit were met by a party of hostile indians indiana between steptoe and ruby valleys and were compelled to fall back to the mail station this way where they obtained a sufficient reinforcement to enable them to proceed onward with the mail three and a half days were lost loist in consequence of this unexpected attack the indians in that part of the territory have for a long lonk time been inclined to be unfriendly to the whites the only paper we received was the sacramento union of feb lg 19 from which we glean a few items or tor bit EE W have ben benin informed that several beveral etter otter enterprising f amere in title and ana the adjoining counties ar making arrangements range ments to import from tle tie states several thousand sheep this bead sear don fon and from the known cha character charleter of une ne men engaged in the enter enterprise prist we bae no doubt they will succeed in their under caking it will be be an impossibility for the people of this ferri cerri territory tory to successfully carry ont out their designs resigns in respect to home manufactures without material flax and ana hemp can doubtless be grown here in sufficient quantities with proper care and exertion to supply the demand for those arl art articles acles but before the demand for wool is supplied the number of sheep in the territory in proportion to the number of at inhabitants will have to be increased at least five thousand per cent this assertion may to some appear extravagant but let them make an estimate of the amount of wool necessary to clothe themselves and to make their families comfortable then an estimate estima teof of the amount necessary nece to supply the wants of the people in their respective wards and settlements upon the same basis after wilch which ascertain the number of sheep they now own and if they do not come to the same conclusions we have there will have been some mistake made in the reckoning reckonings which if on our part we will most cheerfully correct in conversing on these matters with some of our citizens the remark has been made more than once by men whose mathematical knowledge we believe is not rot more extensive than our oali own that if what sheep there are in these valleys were properly taken care of they soon increase sufficiently to supply the demand for wool that now exists we readily admit that sheep are very prolific when they are well kep and so are the cormons mormons Mor mons who compose nearly the entire permanent population of utah so say their op posers and there is some truth in that assertion according in 7 to our computations the probable influx to the present population added to the natural increase will make the ratio in respect to numbers so nearly equal to that of the sheep that it will take many years to supply the people with wool enough for the ma manufacture nu facture of the fabrics needed by them in this cold mountainous country we intend to say more on this subject hereafter but for the present we will only add that in their laudable undertakings we wish emi eminent success to those who may invest money in an sheep and trust that they may be able to import enough 0 of those useful animals to supply the demand for them in all these valleys of the mountains STEALING ia is becoming quite too common in and about our city on sunday evening a last a wagon that had bad been left in a yard by a mr air of davys davis county who was
