City Treasurer Morris has a list of forty business houses and others in the city who have a IJ. S. license to sell intoxicating liquor, but who pay no license to the city. The strong presumption is, that they sell liquor and there seems to be no good reason why they should not pay the municipal license of $100 a WE CAN HELP YOU IN YOUR but because HOUSE-CLEANIN- : : : G. major-genera- Corbin ft We are prepared to fix up your window shades or do any kind of interior decorating, t t t t t We have a splendid stock of Wall Paper, Carpets, Lace Curtains And all Kinds of Draperies, ,,,,,, ft Tell us what you want to do and we will, give you an estimate. , , , For the last few years we have heard a great deal about prosperity. here and here to stay, is the cry.

The distressing results of the autopsy performed in the case of Miss Brant-in- g is only one of many of its kind here in Utah during the past few years. It is just as much murder to destroy an unborn babe as it is to kill un infant a month old, or a year old. Another act should be taken by the legislature too, and that is the enactment of a statute prohibiting the sale, by any one, to a person not a registered and qualified physician and surgeon, of any instrument used for the purpose f procuring abortions. As matters now stand anyone from a Miss of thirteen to a matron of 60 can go to nearly any drugstore and buy, for trifling sum, an instrument identical with that which caused that young womans death. Human life is too sacred to be trifled with ip this man month the same as other places where liquor is sold, and which are designated as saloons. The list of those who pay only u government license of $25 a year is composed of drug stores, restaurants, fashionable dubs and Commercial street resorts. Mr. Morris is consulting with the city attorney with a view of devising means to make those who sell liquor pay the regular saloon license. If they succeed they will thereby enrich the city to the extent of nearly $50,000 a year, which, with the $0G,0U0 a year paid lv the eighty regular saloons in tho city, would make a big revenue from the liquor traffic.

' The Salt Lake and Jordan canal, 'the .larg- est irrigation ditch in the city, has come in for a good share of Mr. Condie s attention. The canal is in a deplorable condition. From Seventh East street north, and west to State street, the flume is rotten and needs or what would he much betterreplacing a brick or cement conduit should be built, but in the present state of the city's finances, that is out of the question. In many places the roof has fallen in. ifteen such cave-m- s were discovered between Seventh East and State streets and have been repaired as well as may be considering the general bad condition of the flume. The waste of water from leakage must be very great, and the wonder is that anv water at all went through to the third precinct last summer, when there was such an outcry from the residents, whose lawns and trees died for lack of water and Supt. Condie was severe! v criticised when the fault was not his. Unless some great improvements are made on the flume, conditions will be no better this summer. -- I? ft . ft Tuesday evening when the mayor sent in his second communication to the city council removing Chief of police Ililton it was in the belief that the COME . action would be sustained.
