Add fifteen thousand dollars per annum to cover sinking fund , and.- we . have a total of $47,000 additional taxation.- 2sbw . , we claim that the reduction in fire department expenses and fire rjsts will at least amount to $20,000 per annum. Wo prpsume that no- body ¬ will dispute that the water rents will fully cover the running exppn.ses and repairs. Leaving out the inevitable rise jn Jlje valuation of city property , we find that the ioprease of taxation could not possibly exceed three and a half 7 ijlls on the dollar- .In . other words , people who pay taxes on property assessed at one thousand dollars would have to pay three dollars and fifty cents per annum in water works taxes ; will that ruin anybody ? WHY did the Onaha Jtppubliean garble the head lines of the Lincoln Journal's report of the Independent State Convention ? The original in the Journal reads as follows : "The Independents Convention of Dis- appointed ¬ Ofllce-seekers and played out : Democrats The third attempt holding a Convention pqrfially to for successful. " | The ] JtcpuLllcan copied the report but changed these head lines to- "The Independents The State Con ¬ vention-at Lincoln Another Con- vention ¬ ( I ordered Declaration of- principles. & .

J EDITOR OMAHA BEE : Getting on the cars at Omaha go- ing - west , we pass along through a fine country of land , with numerous fields of corn , and from the numer- ous - stacks of grain in the fields , de- notes - that a splendid crop of wheat has been harvested. Reaching Fremont we begin to sec the working of grasshoppers on the corn and vegetation { ( proper name should be corn hopper. ) 1'rom Fremont to- jSorth Platte , hardly a stock of corn has escaped. AVe find the towns along the line of the U. P. rail- road ¬ much improved in appearance , and show a steady growth , Chey- enne ¬ especially has improved mate- rially ¬ witn substantial buildings- .At . Laramie we laid by one day, and was.surprised to see what im- provements ¬ had been made here , and the amount of business done at this place. From Laramie , west , to Ogden , did not show so much im ¬ provement. At Ogden we expected tot take the narrow guage railroad for Franklin , Utah , but we could not find out from any one here whether a i connection could be ma.cjp pt Franklin with poaches for Montana , we took the train for Corinnp here , and was informed that the coaches left every morning for Montana.- "We . put up at the Metropolitan hotel | for the night , ( and by the way a very good one ) . In the morning we strolled around the city and. found business much more lively here , than anticipated. The freight- ers ¬ were here In great numbers , loading freight for Montana. Most oft the freighters favor this point as- a starting point in preference to Franklin. In the afternoon we ac- cepted ¬ an invitation from tlie land- lord ¬ to take a ride to tbe great Salt Lake , where we took a batli in the great salt basin , well repaid us t- the our trouble , llerp we foain'd wheat getting ripe aud all kinds of crops promised an abundant yield.- On . the morning of July 31st we a tool the four horse coach for Vir- ginia ¬ ' City.

These Valleys arc settled with Mormons , and tlie crops looked splendid. The mos- quitoes ¬ put their bills in most too frequently to suit us. Thirty-eight miles * north ofCorinne we crossed , the line from Utah to Idaho. Pass- | ing over the divide for fifteen inllps coine to Marsh Valley. In this Aralley the road from Franklin to Montana connects with the road from Coiinne. T- Jther Valley is twenty miles long ; wo pas's over foot hills &Tx ( miles to Port Xeuf Canon. Here I the mosquitoes put in their bills again , much more than we wished liquidate. This Canon is famous { the Humorous raids of f'rottd ' ing agents , " and of course we felt as though we would be gobbled sure , fort there was at least at much as $150,000 in the pockets of the pas- sengers - , besides two treasure boxes, empty ) belonging to "Wells , Fargo Co.'s express. Tl- nigli canon was entered just at fall and was eleven miles long ; thence thirty-two miles io and Yam Patch we passed over a broken country. Here Snake River was 200 reached. By the way I must not forget Kinncy Station , fifty-five miles from Corinne , for here we took supper. The table was well supplied well cooked , and the best meal had on thu rojid , Twentytwo miles farther we reach Eagle Rock , Snake River Bridge.
