Right here beside us every day these matchless mounts sleep time away.' Like temples grand with jeweled walls, they stand when mystic twilight falls; their oriental, wide facade extends along the valley broad, while peak on peak, charmed turrets, rise against the fading evening skies. Last Friday eve I watched Nights Queen (a fairer sight was never seen) as she from lofty summits smiled upon this vale so calm and mild. I stood where I was looking down on sleeping lake and sleeping town, and though Ive been across the sea where Beautys home is said to be, Ive never seen so fine a sight as that I saw last Friday night.

Although born in Utah, he spent his boyhood and young manhood days on the frontier of Mexico, where he had wonderful experiences on the large cattle ranches. His father being captain of the militia of that territory during those early days, Mr. Boyd took an active part in quelling many Indian uprisings and depredations. Returning to Utah, he took a contract with the Stage company driving stage for them for some route. lime on the Since coming to Provo about five years ago, Mr. Bqyd has been engaged in the mining business. He has large holdings, in the Tintic and the Bisbee districts. In his ex- tensive travelings in the intermountain and coast territory he has gained a wide acquaintance and experience which are valuable to him in his presentposition. Mr. Boyd has made an enviable record as sheriff of Utah county during the past year. More bootleggers have been arrested and convicted' during his short term of office than ever before, and the money collected from fines on these ' cases amounts to a great deal more than the expenses of the entire office.
