A gloom wa? cast over our little community com-munity last Sunday when it was learned that the wife of Lars P. Jensen had died suddenly of internal hemmorage. It is a very sad death as she leaves a family of six children. Anna Petrina Jensen was born in Elling Frederikshavn, Denmark, May 15, 1870. In the year 1899 she was married to Lars P. Jensen. She and ; her hnsband embraced the Gospel and was baptised Sept. 4, 1899. Hergreat- . est desire from then was to emigrate to Utah where they might live among the people of their faith. They came to Utah in the year 1906, coming directly to Cleveland where they have made a ! home. During this time she has won the love and respect of everyone who was acquainted with her. She was one of those unassuming persons who attend at-tend strictly to their own affairs. Her home was her kingdom and her greatest delight was to minister to the wants of her loved ones. She was indeed a faithful wife and loving mother. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn her loss, the oldest one ten years of age and the yo ungest one year old. The funeral services were held in the Relief Society hall Tuesday morning. . Elders Lars P. Larson, Jedediah Knight Erick Larsen and Bishop Larson all spoke in glowing terms of the deceased, said she died as she lived, a faithful wife and mother and a true Latter Day Saint. ORANGEVILLE We see by the latest dispatches that Pres. Taf t has signed the order of with-. ' drawal of all the vacant land adjacent to our creek and also on Price and San . . Rafael streams that could be entered for water power purposes and also withdrawn with-drawn from entry all the coal land not -entered upon in eastern Utah. We would like to understand the object. If Pres. Taft had to pioneer in this west-ern'Country west-ern'Country with the trials that we have to contend with in opening up a new country for the last thirty odd years and these very things that they are taking tak-ing off the market were some of the advantages ad-vantages that we expected to assist us in building up this barren waste with when capital got hold of it. We think that President Taft would have more experience and judgement than he is (Continued on last page) ORANGEVILLE (Continued) showing in this matter. Particularly id this vicinity and our representatives and senators in Congress don't seem to be giving us much of their consideration Our country when we settled it 33 years ago was a very forbidding barren land considered at that time the worst there was in all Utah, but we who have stayed with it could see the great coal and water power possibilities and now all our fond hopes are shattered by the scratch of a pen. But we still live and yet we fail to see where the general government has the right to come into the state and kill its enterprise and chance of advancement, but they don't ! fail to call on us for taxes. There ( could be a great deal said on this matter and it is time we were waking up and making protest and standing up for our rights. The west has some rights j left yet. Let us use them. Our hay crop is doing wetter than j was expected after tha hail storm we had some time ago and the husbandman is not looking so blue as he did but our fruit is almost a failure, the hail beat it all to pieces. j Our road commissioner is getting ; out piling to build another span to our j ' brigde.
