themselves without a title, an arrangement was made by which the whole tract could be purchased and a good title obtained covering all claims within it. The assistance of Elder A. F. McDonald, of Colonia Juarez, in the matter, was secured and an arrangement has lately been perfected for the establishment of a colony. A survey of canal and reservoirs has been made, showing that the latter can be filled from the river and the water drawn off on to the lands and townsite. There is plenty of water in the river running to waste during eight or nine months of the year. This we propose to utilize by filling the reservoirs and for such irrigation as may be needed during that time, then drawing off from the reservoirs to serve at low water time. We are satisfied that that will be sufficient. In addition to the above, there is, at a depth of twelve to fourteen feet under ground, an inexhaustible supply of pure water, which, if needed, can be easily pumped up by machinery. The canal and reservoirs can be put in operation at a very reasonable expense.

Close up to the foot-hills to the eastwasd are several large depressions in the earth, which appear to have anciently been used as reservoirs, and which we now intend to utilize for that purpose. The remains of an ancient canal are yet visible leading from the Casas Grandes River to the reservoirs. The prices of the lands are as follow, the purchasers going to the necesssary expense of procuring water: Farm lands which come under the reservoirs, 75 cents an acre; other lands, from 40 to 50 cents an acre; town lots, from $2.50 to $10 each, about one and one-fourth acres. As this is a settlement destined for the Saints, all persons are required to accompany their applications with a proper recommend from the Ward in which they have resided, or in which they may reside when the application is made. The above prices are in Mexican money, which is generally at a considerable discount, and at present will make the prices about 20 per cent less in American money. Twenty acres of land are given free to each head of a family who settles in the colony and resides five years, part located in the farm lands and part in the pasture lands. The colonist in this case and in the purchase of town lots will pay the expense of the deed, and in the other cases each party will pay half its cost. supplies upon which the duty GEO. M.

He undertook to pay all my expenses. I accepted the offer and after being there some time, and know ing it was near this place that my ancestors landed when they came from England, I made some inquiries of the town clerk of Milton. He informed me (just as President Richards had said) that I might find some record of the first settlers in the City Hall, Boston. I called on the city registrar, told him what I wanted, and he gave me free use of all the genealogical records in his office. Therein I found a record of my forefathers as far back as the beginning of the sixteenth century. In the finding of this record I saw the fulfilment of a dream which I had Erick Neilsen, Cris.

Lyman Wilson and Willlam Daines will arrange to make trips here and continue the service so faithfully performed by Brother Barber, and extend the service when called for as far as Casas Grandes and Colonia Juarez, seventy miles south of Diaz. Brothers Wilson and Daines reside at Colonia Diaz and they can arrange to make regular semi-weekly trips, and accommodate visitors and colonists, or special trips by writing to them; but sufficient time should be given because of the uncertainty of mails and distance from regular lines of travel, and letters addressed to Colonia Diaz, via Las Palomos, will go the most direct. To the settlements further south via ElPaso, Texas, will be best. Occasional families are quietly passing here every week,going South.

For instance, he says: "Among Mormons there are no discussions on religion or politics, no opinions, no variety of views, but only tomorrow leave their ploughs and take up arms.'" There is no reason why the leaders of the "Mormon" Church should be driven out of Utah; they have done nothing to excuse their "imprisonment for life;" and if they were not present today, the people are so united and determined and These are samples of the mingled ignorance and malice of the sneaking slanderer who has not the manhood to attack openly the people whom he desires to destroy.
