so valuable an aid ald to the progress and und development of the territory will not be allowed to fall into dis the list of premiums considering the amount of means at the disposal of the society is a valuable one and is very judiciously arranged the bestowal best dwal of premiums will be of incalculable benefit to the territory and we are convinced that money can nat not be expended with greater advantage to the entire community thanin this form our oar relationship to the outside producing and manufacturing world at the present time is vastly different to that of former years by the construction of the railroad we are brought into close contact and lively competition with it we wb recollect a time in this valley when oui our fashionable bedsteads were manufactured butof out of pine and quaking asp poles by tha aid alone nione of a two inch auger and a drawing knife our best families slept upon them and if they had good tood rawhide bed cords they thought them luxurious after sleeping on boxes and on the ground for so long a period our stools and tables were of equally rude and primitive manufacture that day soon passed and the skill of the turner cabinetmaker cabinet maker and painter was called into requisition and furniture more or less elaborate and costly was manufactured and used utility was the chief desideratum in the manufacture of these articles beauty was not particularly consulted but the increase increase of wealth has caused that love of the beautiful which poverty and adverse circumstanced h had a pd re repressed presed but not ex exi 1

in the taste for good stock coming here as the people did fugitives from oppression having been expelled by mob violence from their homes without the opportunity of selling them they hey did not bring brink much valuable stock with them in the first years of the settlement the horses especially ally were of a poor kind principally indian and california or half breed american but with the lapse lapio of years has come a visible improvement in this respect good horses as well as berned stock are common if our cat eat tle tie owners will only take the trouble troubie leto to bring their best

woman in the community to compare his or her progress with that of his or her neighbors such a gathering of good things must have a tendency to elevate taste and give people higher conceptions of
