built the first fort forming a nucleus around which might gather the future settlements of the valley the surpassing beauty of the scenery the lovely lake the pure streams of water the abundance of grass and the unlimited supply of trout were in part counterbalanced by the rigor of the climate and the usual obstacles to be met mot with in the settlement of every new now country drouth hoppers crickets and frost combined to render the struggle to gain a foothold one 0 of f more than ordinary character the early pioneers were deprived of ma mail mall 11 facilities and during a portion of the

practice quite common among a certain class of men and boys in this city duning during the summer months to which for several reasons we wish to call attention we allude to bathing in the waters of city creek canyon this is more especially indulged in on sunday morning and the locality thus infested is M that situated be tween the flour and saw mill this practice is strongly objectionable for several reasons in the first place the majority of the people in that part of the city obtain their water from city elty creek there is a city ordinance we believe inflicting severe penalties on all parties who shall in any way render unfit for use the water the people are forced to use for domestic purposes and if there be any way in which this can be done more effectually than by bathing in it we are not aware of it now we think that men or boys who will go and bathe in a body bode of water when they know that their fellow citizens have bave to drink it and cook their f oo 00 d it aio afo about as indecent as I 1 it t is possible labe ibbe tp e and deserve the heaviest t punishments punishment the law can dah inflict 1 another strong reason why this 1 practice 8 should shoula be stopped slopped at once and fo borall ail ali all time timet in the locality alluded to isi is that it lt is not quite so sparsely inhabited by white folks aa as it once wasana aasand wasand was and ana ladles have either alther to pass that thab way or are compelled to take a circuitous route this we hap pento know was the case yesterday and no doubt has often been so before another and the last reason we advert to novi now is that in a sanitary point of yiew this practice e ia is strongly objectionable for nothing is more calculated to injure the health of the people than thad drinking or ot cooking food in impure water we recommend the men and boys who resort to this place for the purpose of bathing to peruse and ana rei zei reflect lest iest upon these re marks we are satisfied that if they have a very ordinary share shara of intelligence or sense they will at once see the impropriety and indecency of their course if there is any one thing in the world that aoe doe pune pure and clean it ia Is the water a people use lor for drinking and cooking and if there is anything that men or boys having a seark spark of decency in their entire composition would refrain from it is doing tha tho least thing to shock shook or infringe upon female modesty washing the body in cold water is an excellent practice but to io do it when we know others will be forced to drink that water is beastly and if the tho nuisance an is continued we would suggest to the people residing in the locality to bavo havo the necessary assistance on hand and arrest every man or boy so outraging decency and morality this course if no other would promptly put an ena en to it r r A pin carelessly dropped ia in the tile loom by a female operative opol spoiled led seven hundred yards of cloth in in one
