A sentimental editor out in Kansas
asks: "Are there any sweeter words In
the English language than these, "I
love you?" Terhaps not; but the
words, "Here's that dollar I owe you
on subscription," are not lacking in
delightful enunciation to the ear of a
newspaper man.
A riNE LECTURE
Delivered by Pres. Cluff
Saturday evening.
Nearly 500 people listened to the
talk of Prcst. Chill on his recent trip
overland to South America at the I).
Y.Collego Saturday night. Thospcakcr
omitted that part of his Journey from
Provo through Mexico to the Isthmus
of Tchauntcpec commencing his nara
tivc at Tchauntcpec a city of about
10,000 inhabitants on tho Pacific side
of the Isthmus and on the railroad
that connects the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific Ocean. The speaker
narrated his experience in the clty;thc
costume of the people etc. Sunday Is
the great market day and the
town is usually full of people buying
and selling their wares. Employees
arc forbidden to drink during the
week but on Sunday they usually go
on a big spree, sobering up so as to
resume work on Monday morning.
The people bathe often In that region,
and the Tchauntcpec river which flows
through the town is thronged with
people of all grades and conditions In
life from morning untill night.
FROM TKnAUNTKr-KC
the party passed over Into the state
of Chiapas and crossed over the
mountains and visited San Cristobal
the capital of the state and a town of
about 60,000 people, mostly Indians.
Tills region possesses an almost per
fect climate and a landscape of almost
unsurpassed beauty. The valley of
San Pedro was especially beautiful and
and capable of development to be one
of the richest districts in the world,
could be made to support a very large
population, whereas it now has about
twelve families of miserable Indians.
From Comltan they made a side
Journey to visit
THE RUINS OF FALKNQUK
nearly 200 miles to the north east of
Comltan. Had made this journey on
foot but was well repaid fot the trip.
The ruined palaces were built on a
terrace on the eastern slope of the
mountain and must have been mag
nificent structures in' the days when
they were occupied; as it is now some
of the rooms arc in a fair state of pre
servation, but the walls are crumbling
away, and mammoth trees arc now
growing on the roofs, taking root in
the decomposed rocks. Everywhere
could bo seen sculptured slabs on
which was chiseled representations of
human beings and a large number of
hieroglyphics. If a key could be
found to translate those old writings
they no doubt would reveal the hist
ory of the ancient people, but as It is
they cannot be' read, and i he history
of the old city and its people remains
shrouded In mystery.
FROM COMITAN
the party passed over into Guatemala
and visited the great ruins at Copan.
The country everywhere bears evi
dence of its former occupation and
everywhere are evidences that it was
occupied at different times and by
more than one people. Ruined build
ings and mounds arc seen everywhere
and indications are that the country
was so densely peopled that every
available foot of ground was used and
cultivated. In Guatemala they pass
ed through the district that has re
cently been devestated by the volcano
of Santa Maria. From Guatemala
they entered San Salvador and
commenced
THE PERILOUS JOUHNKV
through the Isthmus. Few men if
any have ever accomplished this
Journey. Fever infected districts
were traversed, raging torrents were
crossed, trails were followed that led
over dangerous mountains and through
tangled tropic forests. Sometimes It
was necessary to go down by tho sea
coast and wind along its torturous
shores; to cross rivers Infested with
allgators hungry for human flesh, and
when It had all been passed and they
came Into an open country again they
came near being shot to death by
Colombian Insurgents, but they pass
ed through it all and came out safely.
Tho speaker felt to thank God for
their preservation and acknowledge
his protecting care over them.
FROM PANAMA
they crossed to Colon and there
sold their animals and took passage
for Barranqullla a port at the mouth
of the Magdaleim river, the Sidon,
tho Nephl ties. At this port they took
a steamboat, up the river to Hond a
town at the lower end of the Macde-
lena valley about 000 miles from Bar
rangullla. There arc rapids at this
point that interrupt navigation. It
was on the west bank of the river and
near these rapids that tho city Zara
hernia Is supposed to have been built,
although no evidences of a great city
having occupied tho site has yet come
to light, but the natural conformation
of tho country agrees exactly with the
description given in the Hook of Mor
mon. Tho hill on the eastofSldon
wheroAlma fought with the Amllcitls
Is there, the valley of Gideon also and
tho wilderness of Hcrmounts, In Just
the relation to each other that the
Book pf Mormon claims they were.
FROM HONDA
they vfent on to Bogata the capital of
the country. There they were ad
vised by the U. S. Minister to abandon
the work of exploration until after the
civil war then raging, should cease:
this they decided to do and returned
home. The speaker exhibited some
relics lie had brought back with him,
a sort of shawl made by native In
dians at Tchauntcpec. A shell from
Cartegcna, and a bone spoon from the
Magdalcna.
THE RESULT
of the expedition was not all that was
hoped for it, very little information
beyond what was already known so
far as the Book of Mormon is concern
ed, being brought to light. The great
benefit will He in the fact that it will
awaken ijew interest in the subject
that in time will bring forth results.
On his trip from Comltan to Palcn
que Pres. Cluff visited the Chiapas
rubber plantation in which a number
of our citizens arc interested. He
says they have 24,000 acres which
they are planting with young rubber
trees, most of the old ones on the
land having been 'killed by the
natives.
Hynun Notes.
The many friends of Julius Johanc
son will regret to learn that the opera
tion performed on him for cancer some
six months ago has left him in some
respects as helpless as an infant.
rpTTKRY FACTORY.
In the northwestern part of the
town, a.pottcry has been running for
thirty years, owned by James J. Han
sen. Not much has ever been written
about this enterprise, but it Is, how
ever, worthy of mention. All kinds
of brown and yellow ware is made and
the quality of the goods speak for
themselves, his whole product being
sold In this and the adjacent three
counties in this state.
A LOGAN MAN HK11E.
John II. Edwards, formerly of Lo
gan, is now located here and Is doing
a good business in dispensing line
liquors and cigars, and keeps an or
derly establishment. This house, we
understand, has the most costly fix
tures of any liquor establishment in
the county, having cost upwards of
$1,000. John is a natural man for the
position he is In, and like his father,
attends strictly to business.
UYRUM CREAMERY.
C. L. Anderson, county commissioner
elect, started a creamery here about
two years ago, and is doing a thriving
business. The capacity is about
10,000 pounds of milk per day
and is prepared to make butter and
cheese. The people who furnish milk
to this factory are well satisfied.
OUR SCHOOLS.
The school enrollment of this place
Is about COO, with seven teachers,
Reuben Allen principal. The high
school of this place Is taught by C. F.
Olscn. As far as we can learn all the
teachers are well liked and doing good
work in their respective departments.
SOREN HANSEN'S RESIDENCE.
One block west of the public square
on Main Street Sorcn Hansen, the
well known capitalist, is erecting one
of the finest brick residences in the
county. Not as largo as some, but no
money is being spared on this struct
ure. The building has a tine cellar,
nine feet ,decp, well rocked, first
and second lloors, each having seven
rooms; the apertures to all the rooms
are of the finest hardwood finish; a
dancing hair will bo arranged in the
attic for children, on the south west
of tho building Is a fine sphe. All of
tho windows and doors have cut
stono caps and sills with carved work.
Tho porches aro to be finished with
marblo columns and steps. The build
ing Is wired lor fifty electric lights
and will bo heated with hot air from
tho basement. When completed not
a rcsldcnco In the county will compare
with It for beauty and architectural
design.
Lars Jacobson of Logan Is superin
tending the work, and from indica
tions understands his business. The
approximate cost of the building is
115,000.
