Wc have boon unable lo get much iutorimition a to wlicn the Pine creek Itoad Commissioners will begin work on tho road. At dm present time there 1ms beon nothing of any conse luicnco done, "We arc informed that the survey made by Grillitlis has been found very defective, ho failing to tile un estimate of costs of construction, etc. , which , in tho estimation of the Hoard, will necessitate tho employ ment of u competent surveyor to go over the lino and make the estimate of the Joust before they can ndvcrtlce for bids intcligeutly. With all due defer ence to tho Hoard, we don't look at it in that light. That course would no ccsjitnto tho expenditure of a thousand or two dollars of tho appropriation, which is sotting beautifully less every day, and delay tho completion of the road several montln. "We believe the proper course is to advertise at once for bids to construct the entire road, and givo it to the lowest responsible bidder, if bis bid is within the bounds of the money on hand, which there is but little doubt It would bo, but if it is not, they would be under no obliga tions to accept it. Wc cannot see where tho expenditure of probably a thousand dollars for a cost-ostimate would bo of any particular benefit to tho commissioners. It certainly would not lessen the cost of construct ing tho road, and probably would not be taken into much consideration by would be contractors, who generally judge for themselves. If tho road is to be built at all, the sooner it is done tho better. We would like to sec tho commUsiouors wake up. ad vertise for bids, and see that as good u road, as the appropriation will admit of, is put through to the l'ine week mines at once. AH USUAL Tin: democratic primaries wore held in linker county on the (ith inst. In linker City the delegates on what was known as tho "Dealy ticket" wcr" cleetod to attend the convention on tho 1ith. Wo suppose tho delegates wcro plodgcd to support J. T. Donly for sheriff . This is an illustration of how tho wire pullers get in their work at tho primaries, which usually re sults in ono of two things: The, party ut lurire is compelled to vote for ii man who is not their choice, or ro fU6o to support him at all, thereby giving tho ollleo to tho opposition. A delegate that will plcdgo himself to voto for any particular cnndjdnlo in tho convention, is not lit to be there, and should not bo sent. Wo notice that the principal tight h for tho clerk and sheriff the olllcos that should concern tho people least of any. When more attention is paid to -jotting good commissioners, representa tives, Judge and assessor, whoso actions are of vital importance to tho people, and lets to the nbovo named olllcos, which aro of more Importance to tho occupants than to any one elso, a bottei Atuto of affairs will be ob borvable. STOCK ASSOC I A TtOX. As will be seen by record of pro ceedings published clsuwhoro In this papar, tho stock growors, anil farm ers of Union county, have formed mi association for tho protection of do mestic animals, and to prevent the Introduction of contagious diseases, of whatever character, among thmu, He,, and to enforce the laws of tho Htato referring to the samo. This Is a good movo, and will doubtless prove u great bouutlt, not only to stock growers, but to (ha community ut largo. Only by tho utmost vigi lance audi exertion un tho part of those' interested in any particular lino of Industry, can the best results be obtained. As stock growing is one of tho principal Interests of this section of the state, it Is to bo hoped that tho association Will speedily at'' (pi ire tv largo membership and iU sphere of usefulness bo widened.

Ik there is a man in tho Uiiilct States deserving of the eulogies and enconiums of the entire people, it is Land Commissioner Sparks.

Hereto fore they haro principally selected the territories in which to live. From Utah they have branched out to Idaho, Now Mexico and Arizona. Like all residents of territories, they are un der direct control of congress and amenable to laws passed by Wash inirton. The rigidity of tho laws against polygamy, and tho unrelent ing enforcement of them by the federal courts in Utah, haVo forced tho prob lem on the Mormons of how to escape from tho control of the federal author! ties. If they controlled a stato by a majority vole, it is thought bv some that tho solution Would be found. nicy would then ho free from the ni- terferauco of congress, and might car out their polygamous practice in dotlaiieo of federal law. It is said that Nevada Is tho field selected in which Mormonlstn will, In the end, make Its delimit, stand against the gen oral government for the perpetration of its institutions, Their proposal to attain this position is by ait linmigra (ion into the stato suttlcietit to com maud n majority at (lie polls. Once oniinant there, with the power of making and administering tho local aw, their situation will bo ono of pre eminent vantage, and they will have onlisted for their protection tho whole. forco of tho Mate's rights doctrinc rhat they have not yd inado a direct move in this direction is dlto, not to their inr.hllity in several years past, but to tho fact that thoy have every thing to gain by delay. While the population of Nevada has been dimin ishing, tho Mormons have been aug menting by an average yearly addition of 'JOUU converts) and by natural in crease, tho result of phlral marriages and the prolitlcness of the healthy, agricultural people who compose their rank and lllo, such a colonization can be effectm! by tlld Mormons Without impairing their Ubsoluto supremacy in Utah, oi' wertkolttng their hold in tho outlying territories.
