The newspaper goes hand in hand
with progress , profits and public wel

paper in its midst , a town builds itself

Last Thursday evening , while out

streets , the horse exhibited a mulish
perverseness , persisting in turning to
ward home. Being thwarted in its pur
pose , the. animal stubbornly threw itself
to the ground , smashing a wheel and
narrowly precipitating the occupants.
Mr. Spearman is now canvassing for a
family horse with its bump of stubborn
ness less developed.
A GRAND ENTERPRISE.
A $7,500 Model Creamery to be in
Running Order in this Cify
within Thirty Days.
The Tribune has to report , this
week , the consummation of one of the
most important cntcrpriHcs ever under
taken in this city. Wo refer to the
creamery. B. Mahanna of the Geo. D.
D. Winchell Manufacturing Co. of Cin
cinnati , O. , as is well "known , has been
in the city all week working up the
project , and in this splendid enterprise ,
we take great pleasure in reporting that
our business men in the main hayc
come to the front nobly the required
amount of stock has already been taken ,
the contract for the building of the in
stitution and its equipment throughout
has been let , and in a few days , as soon
as the party who will have supervision
of its construction arrives , work will be
commenced. This establishment will be
owned and operated by a stock company
of our citizens , and its importance to
our city and county cannot well be over
estimated. It will stimulate and en
courage the farmer to keep better cows
and to care for and feed them. It will
create an income to the fanner in cash
he will receive butter market price
for cream at his own door that he has
not heretofor enjoyed. It will be of fi
nancial advantage and benefit to our
business men who have generously put
their means into the project. We have
no doubt as to the course of our farmers
in this matter , believing that they will
unite to build up a creamery in this city
which will be a credit to the county and
to their great benefit financially , as a
successful establishment of this kind
must necessarily be. In due time our
friends in the country will be visited by
an agent of the company fcr the pur
pose of ascertaining the number of cows
each one will milk for the creamery.
Let every farmer exert himself to the
utmost so that the creamery may start
out under the most favorable auspices
possible , remembering the somewhat
limited development of the resources of
this country in this particular. At a
business meeting held , yesterday after
noon , the following building committee
was selecte 'd : Thos. Coller , F. D. Hess ,
Geo. E. Johnston , H. G. Dixon and R.
II. Williams , whose duty is to select a
site and to see that the building erect
ed and that the machinery put in , etc. ,
are per contract and specifications. 'J he
meeting adjourned to meet at the office
of nelui & Davis , Friday evening of
this week at 7:30 : , mountain time , at
which time important business will be
transacted. A full attendance of stock
holders is desired.
Freight engine No. 451 , the first of
the new series to be used in the freight
traffic of this division , has arrived and
is now doing service in that department.
The engine is built for hauling heavy
trains , has eight drive wheels , and is
much heavier than the locomotives at
present in use. More of the same kind
ire expected in due time. The heavy
ind increasing freight traffic ot this
livision has made larger locomotives
necessary , and they will be provided as
Fast as possible.
This week , Frank H. Spearman
bought for Thomas Lonergan of Chica

ing of things , these railroad men have ,
that is at once refreshing and unique.
