WEBER BONDS the most amusing thing wo have seen for a time is alie attempt of jhc ogden department of alie tribune and rehashed by the press to show that the bond of weber county sold last week by the county court brought a premium of 4 per cent eighty thou band dollars of tho promise to pay were eold at a premium of 4 per cent but the county only got for the worth of bonds figures it just exactly a loss of 2800 for the county or a dutch mans 3 per beit dividend which means that the premium went into alie pocket of alie man who bought the bonds and alie county pays 2800 for alie privilege of a Dutch mans dividend now this bond deal may leave been on tho dead square but we do not understand why an attempt should be made to deceive the public into believing that the worth of bonds brought par and a premium of 4 per cent when the exact opposite is the truth if there is anything wrong with the bond deal we want to know it will some bond buyer explain to us how can bo sold for and then be at the same time a premium of 4 per cent of course barring the Dutch mans dividend
