| Show yron the dily of input 8 WE RETURN TO DUST nothing seems to be more objection able to a denver man than dust so that when one of them remarked to a reporter of the mountain kent atie other day that he hastened away from pueblo on account of nuisance being PO prevalent in the pittsburg Itts burg the public generally accepted the excuse aa belfi chent and care to alc whether the business which lie left unfinished was important or ant ive utah people are not any more prone to the love of dust than our fellow creatures elsewhere but we must admit that there are few of us who value our bronchial tubes or our bodily comfort HO highly that we would favor either in this one matter at the cost of a successful business transaction in other words so long as there was enough of abe coln most of us would endeavor to survive the dust and in our primitive western way we should be likely to regard as an arrant idler or a tenderfoot of the most verdant type anybody who would give up the objects of LIB toil because he had to pursue them through clouds of the un moistened impalpable particles of which he himself is built but while all this is true neither a community nor a corporation is justified in preferring dust to cleanliness nor even in enduring the one while they have the means of securing the other ogden is not altogether blameless in this respect we all understand that water is not over plentiful this season and that in such times of it can be more profitably used upon our gardens than upon our streets but had our energy equalled equal led our desires we might have made a on our leading thoroughfares than we have oar fw sprinkling wagons might have been kept running twenty hours per day instead of ten and have consequently done twice aa much work the hire of teams and drivers would have been doubled of course but we think the public would have gladly borne alie expense it would be in every way better and more convenient if the business streets could be watered at they are clear of vehicles alian during the day when they are crowded and the water from which the carts are supplied by day can just as well all them by night this matter may be baill worthy of consideration in view of the fact that while the heavens are promising they are not yielding much moisture and the fact that a large party of il list abhorring excursionists are getting their grip sacks packed preparatory to paying us a visit this month we shall want to make a im upon them as ne bao upon their fore runners and no single effort to accomplish this will be more successful than to provide that on re turning to their hotel after a ride through our city their own folks will be able to recognize them without waiting until after a bath |
