THE LOGAN REPUBLICAN 1
VOL. J. LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY JO, 1903. NO. 30. 1 I

Concerning the A. G. of U.
Believing that the good sound busi
ness sense of the trustees of tho Agri
cultural college of Utah could bo relied
upon to eliminate the useless things
that were being urged by lobbyists for
the college, the Intcr-Mountaln
Farmer addressed tho following letter
to each member of that board:
Salt Lake City, Jan. 29, 1003.
"Desiring to advance tho Interests
of tho Agricultural college of Utah In
The Intcr-Mountaln Farmer, I wish
to ask that you give an expression of
your personal views on tho following
propositions:
"Do you personally favor tho appro
priation of $30,000 for the erection of a
gymnasium at the Agricultural col
lege? "Do you believe that the best lntcr
t -" est of tho Agricultural college of Utah
will bo conserved by tho adding of a
school of mines to tho course of In
struction now given at the college?
"Do you bcllevo that It will be to
the educatloal Interests of Utah gen
erally to endeavor to maintain two
schools of mines?
"Your replies to those questions aro
desired for publication, and such argu
ment as you may wish to advance in
support of your position, will bo very
cheerfully published in Tho Intcr
Mountaln Farmer.
"Asking tho favor of an early reply,
and thanking you in advance, I am,
yours very truly, J. A. WRIGnT,
"Editor"
In response to the aboo resquest
Hon. W. S. McCornlck, president of
the board, writes:
"J. A. Wright, Esq., Editor Intcr
Mountaln Farmer, City.
' "Dear Sir: Replying to your favor
I of the 29th Inst., icferrlngto agricul-
I tural matters, I beg leave to say.
I "FirstThat tho appropriation of
I $30,000 for the armory and gymnasium
B building has been withdrawn and in
B lieu thereof a building for a dormitory
B is substituted.
"Second: I do not think that a
B school of mines is essential or a ncces
H sary addition.
"Third: I do not believe that it
Br- would be for the best Interest of tho
B State to maintain two schools "f
H mines. Respectfully yours, W. 5.
M'CORNICK."
BJ Col. D. C. Adams, chairman of the
B committee on agricultural and animal
H Industry for the collcgc.states his views
H! plainly as follow:
BK "Mr. J. A. Wright, Editor of tho
B Inter-Mountain Fanner, City;
BB "My Dear Sir: Answering your
B esteemed favor of January 28th, I beg
B to say that I am not in favor of a gyma
B slum or armory building at the Agrl
B cultural College, but urgently recom
B mend a ladles' dormitory for tho rea
B son that tho foundation work is to
B take good caro of the health of the
B students and this we cannot do with
B our present facilities. You under
B stand perfectly well what it is for
B boys and girls to go back and forth in
B stormy weather. Also that this year
B many students have been turned away
H for tho reason that wo could not ac
B commodate them at the college dorm
B Itory nor could they get accommoda
B tions in Logan.
BB I do not believe In a school of mines
HB being added to tho course of lnstruc
flB tlon at tho college. I would much
V prefer to devote the money and energy
B required to conduct a school of mines
H to upbuilding the Agricultural college
BRm from an agricultural standpoint. I
Bl f would like to bring tho agricultural
BKk department, animal industry and
H dairy work up to a high standard. I
B would especially like to equip the col-
B lege, that is the animal Industry de-
B partment, up to a high standard in
B Puro Drc(1 stock. Wo have made a
B good start in horned stock, also sheep.
B This I should llko to see brought up
B to greater numbers and greater var-
BB lctles, with say two families of horse
IHf stock, and thrco families of hogs, as
B' fast as tho Legislature can sco their
Sff way clear to appropriate money for
BM this purpose.
BE "As far as maintaining two schools
B of mines In the general educational ln-
H' tcrcsts of Utah, that must be left to
H tho great future. Yours very respect-
K fully, D. O. ADAMS.Trustec."
K Tho Intcr-Mountaln Farmer most
H heartily indorses tho views expressed
B In tho abovo letters and rejoices at tho
Hj evident determination of tho trustees
H to make tho Agricultural collego of
H . Utah truo to its namo and mission.

H: A Gambler's Daunhter.
H When Owen Davis, the playwright
BP wrote "Through tho Breakers" "Lost
B, ' In the Desert,' and soveral other very
H' popular mclo-dramas It was believed
H that ho had gained about all tho glory
f3 an author could deslro from an ap-
prcclative public, but still ho was
not satisfied and wanted to do better
then ever. So ho penned another
melo-drama called "A Gambler's
Daughter,, and the piece was produc
ed In Chicago recently with such
phenomenal success, that all his
triumphs of tho past were eclipsed.
Tho same Company that made the
Chicago success possible will produce
"A Gambler's Daughter" here at tho
Thatcher Opera House next Wed
nesday night and tho same elaborate
scenery which helped mako tho ori
ginal production so noteworthy, will
bo used In the presentation of the
play in this city, a special car being
required to transport the great cqnlp
ment. The best known of dramatic critics
ha've bestowed unstinted praise upon
"A Gambler's Daughter" .is a drama
tic 'production. Tiicre is nothing
commonplace or trivial about It.
From start to finish it holds the rapt
attention of tho audience. The best
actors and actresses of tho stage have
seen selected for tho production of
the piece and it will undoubtedly
prove a most attractive drawing card
when It comes to this city. Miss
Lillian Hayward tho leading woman
of great talent has rapidly come to
the foreground as an emotional actress
In the last few years. She is support
ed by an exceptionally strong cast in
cluding such well known players as
Camilla Crume, Marie Laurens, Elsie
A Very Sad Accident.
An item that may be of Interest to
some of our readers concerns Miss
Harriet Elliott, who has charge of
tho Presbyterian mission school at
Franklin. According to tho Oneida
County Republican. "On Friday
Miss Elliott, the Presbyterian school
teacher at Franklin planned a sllegh
rldo from Franklin to Preston to
visit the Presbyterian school here.
For this purpose the teacher employ
ed Ralph Hourth to drive tho sleigh.
After tho load was made up and tho
party had started down tho steep hill
as they went north out of Franklin
the team becamo unmanageable and
went down tho hill at a high rate of
speed and in making the turn to go
through under the railroad a project
ing bolt caught in the neck ropo of
one of the horses. The ropo did not
break but threw tho horse over back
ward onto tho sleigh Instantly kill
ing little Pearl Cherry, who was sit
ting in front. Tho weight of the
horse and tho force with which it was
thrown over literally crushed the
little child into a Jelly, breaking every
bone in her body from her hips up.
The party went sadly back to Frank
lin as soon as they could disengage
themselves from the wreck. Two or
three others sustained slight injuries.
This Is a particularly sad affair as It
makes the seventh one of that family

-" A Photographer Nerve.
Until a few dayi ago Hamilton
McK. Twombly's beautiful estate uear
Morrlstown, N. J., was open to the
public. On a recent morning Mrs.
Twombly was stepping Into her car
riage when two strangers drove up.
Ono of them spoke to her by namo
and as Bho turned to faco him his
companion pressed tho button of a
comera pointed In her direction. Then
they drove away rapidly, Mr. Twom

Rival Speakers.
While Mr. Webstor was onco aa
dressing tho Senate on tho subject
of Internal improvements, and every
Senator was listening with close at
tcntlon, tho Senate clock commenced
striking, but Instead of striking twice
and Indicating the hour, It continued
to strlko without cessation moro than
forty times. All oyes turned to tho
clock, and Mr. Webster remained si
lent until tho clock struck about
twenty, when ho thus appealed to the
chair; "Mr. President, the clock 1b
out of order. I havo the floor."
Strong Talk on Tuberculosis.
Dr. S. A. Knopf of Now York, ono
of tho leading American authorities on
tuberculosis, makes the somewhat
startling announcement that ho con
siders certain conditions In tho busi
ness offices and homes of tho wealthy
as being quite as bad as those found
in tenements. Dr. Knopf's osspy on
"Tuberculosis as a Dlseaso of the
Masses" was awarded first prlzo at
tho International medical congress Ir.

many languages.

ExtenBlvo purchases of land on Bah

Of Interest to Sheep Men.
Joseph M. Jensen, Jr., representing
the llrm of J. M. Jensen & Sons, cxtcn
slvo owners and dealers in sheep In
Box Elder county, has como down
from the great winter grazing grounds
in northwestern Utah and northcast
orn Nevada. This llrm numbers its
sheep by tho tens of thousands, and
docs an immense business, shipping
carloads of wool and tralnloads of
sheep to tho Eastern markets yearly.
When asked how many sheep aro
this winter glazing on tho desert, Mr.
Jensen replied:
"Oil, about a million."
"But come down to cases how
many?"
"I meant it; about n million. Be
tween 800,000 and 000,000 arc winter
ing up there this year. Tho hills and
plains for hundreds of miles around
that locality aro literally covered with
sheep. The Hocks of close to 308 sheep
owners must bo "wintering up thero
this season."
"How Is the range, and how are tho
sheep doing?"
"Nevor saw it much better. The
sheep have done unusually well; they
aro in good llcshand tho wool is of a
nice quality. Tho losses from all
causes this winter havo been very
light."
"A few days ago five or six, Indies of
snow fell all over that section. The
north range was pretty well eaten up,
and this snow came as a Godsend. Up
to that time most of the Hocks had
been herded In the hills around Tacoma
and Terrace and they dared not ven
ture far south for lack of water. A
.sheep cannot live long without water.
But when this snow came, tho whole
country was covered with a white
blanket extending for hundreds of
miles in every direction, and tiicro was
a rush of sheep to tho south that
would havo rivaled an exodus of olden
times. Think of nearly a million big
balls of wool rolling in ono steady
stream onto the southern desert. It
was a sight".
"Now tho sheep aro feasting on tho
fine grass and undergiowth, where
they could not bo taken for lack of
water. Theso Hocks aro scattered out
over a radius of perhaps 600 miles.
It is a great range, and no mistake.
If it wasn't for this winter rango I
don't know what wo would do feed
thousands of dollars worth of hay, I
expect.
" How about tho prico of mutton
and wool arc you buying?"
"Yes; we aro buylngsome. Already
our firm has contracted for 400,000
pounds of this season's clip. Oh, it
ranges in prlco from 12 to 14 cents a
pound depends on the quality.
"I understand agents havo bought
up about half a million pounds In
southern Utah, and I supposo tho
price wntf about tho same. Word
comes from down there that thoy, too
i ii i i - - -.-..-.-.
havo had a good season, with few los
ses, with prospects for a heavy fleece
this spring."
"How will this cold snap affect tho
Hocks?"
"Just what wo want the weather
so far could not havo been moro favor
able, and I expect to see tho flock
master In this section of the country
reap a very prolltable harvest this
year on both wool and mutton."
Mining Interests.
There is no doubt, but that thero
arc excellent mining prospects In
various parts of this county. It has
been stated by mining experts that If
some of these prospects with their
present showings were located in
established mining districts they
would bo worth at least ono or two
hundred thousand dollars. Somo few
years ago, a lively Interest was taken
In tho development of somo of these
claims but recently thero appears
to bo somewhat of a lull in this regard
at tho present. Thero is practically
nothing being dono except In tho vi
cinity of Richmond. This mining
bulsncss should be looked at from a
common sense view. Wo venture to
say that if all tho cost of work dono In
this county on claims was Hgurcd up
it would not amount to as much as
Senator Thomas Kearns did on his
property at Park City before ho achiev
ed success. Now wo bcllevo that if
Thos. Kearns, David Keith and George
McKnlght had pursued tho same
course that wo havo, their success
would havo been llko ours. Scratch
ing around here and there upon tho
surface does not amount to anything.
If success is desired do intelligent
work. Get an engineer, havo him
give tho bearings, then concentrato
tho work upon somo well defined spot
and go down. Mineral In this county
goes deep. Tho mineral already
found has not descended from tho
clouds. In somo localities thero are
as fine prospects and Indications as
you would wish to see everywhere.
Depth Is what is required. Profit by
the experience of others bo persistent
and do tho work as others havo done
It, and llko results may bo expected.
If on tho other hand you w ork to tho op
posite, different results will follow.
Imagine what ono good mlno would
mean for this county. After one mine
has proved Itself as a paying proposi
tion others would surely bo developed.
Therefore wo say to thoso who havo
favorable claims, get men of oxpor
lcnco to examine them, and if In
their Judgment they aro no good,
abandon them; If they aro worth work
ing, dovclop them in tho right way.

think they havo a perfect right to do jBB
and talk as they please, so long as they jflB
remain in the streets and not trespass IBB
upon tho private property of Individ- 'BB

indulge In language that Is simply aw- BJ
ful to listen to, especially by ladles who BB
at times arc passing. These charao 'BB
tcrs should be called to an account oc- BB
caslonally, and by so doing, would jBB
bo given to understand the true mean- BB
Ing of tho law and the limit thoy can BH
bo allowed. Wo bcllevo that most of BB
the boys In Logan aro fairly good com BB
pared with other places but yet BB
thero arc somo exceptions, and, theso BJ
exceptional ones should receive a little BB
attention, and thereby disabuse' their ,BH
minds of erroneous Ideas regarding iBH

many of tho blackmailing cases BH

can be traced directly to patent BH
medicine advertisements. Most of BH
tho patent medicine mongors belong HB
to a combination that sells or ex- BH
changes tho names and addresses of HB
patients. When a person is weak BH
enough to answer ono of the adver- .HB
tlsemcnts, a scries of so-called medical HB
questions Is forwarded. Filled out and BH
signed, this "information blank" con- HB
tains statements that a man or HB
woman would hesitate to intrust to a' HB
father confessor or a family physician. BH
With this Information which can- HB
not bo disputed as it is in tho hand- BH
writingof and signed by tho patient H
the advertiser is in a position to demand BH
hush money. Then, by comparing HB
and conjoining tho "information H
blank" from persons living in the BJ
same town or neighborhood, the ma- 'BJ
te rials for social scandals aro obtained. BH
One advertiser receives a "blank" H
from a husband; another In a differ- :H
cut city, professing to euro a different HB
disease secures a "blank" from a ,HB
wife. Put together at tho head- HB
quarters of tho combination, hero is a BH
story which thoso concerned will pay Hj
liberally to keep out of papers. This Hj
explains why many patent mcdlcino HB
advertisers offer to givo their treat- H

cost of the alleged medicine if they mm
