(to be continued.) Flagstaff, Ariz. €EOS) Wishes for "Utah." (For the Improvement Era.) I would the Utah had been fashioned for A barge of peace and friendship, not for war! When Alice stood, the star of that grand scene, Royal and beauteous as a free born queen, To name the ship for her own native state A thing so splendid, wonderful and great — I would have had the glass she broke contain Pure, sparkling water, not the bright champagne. "Peace! Peace!" we hear the nations cry, and still There is no peace. The scriptures they fulfil. But if we still must hear of strife and war, The Utah do the work she's fashioned for; May she e'er sail courageous for the right, True honor gain, and vict'ry in each fight, Till tranquil seas she may bear swiftly o'er, Brave messengers of peace, from shore to shore.
