Speaking of what the council may
yet buy its pets, wc would wager a
ten dollar William (If we had It) that
on a vote of the citizens of this
corporation they would almost unan
imously endorse a proposition of the
council to purchase the democratic
howler a muzzle for use until It can
get over its damp-phoollshness. It
would probably wear out a ilocn In
that time, however.
The Dcscrct Farmer maintains that
the average soil In Utah, if properly
prepared and cultivated, will yield at
least 20 tons of beets to the acre, and In
many Instances ' tons per acre.
With UO tons of beets to the acre, no
other farm crop Is lrkcly to eivc as good
returns as the grovlng of beets. The
Farmer attributes the failure of the
farmer to raise ills L'O or 'Hi tons to the
fact that the land Is not properly fer
tilised; It Is not plowed In the fall:
shallow plowing is practised: Irriga
tion neglected: ami weeds are allowed
to choke the beets out. Tun Rkpuii
i.ican docs not presume to know the
whole value of these assertions and
oilers the statements for the consider
ation of those who are In the business
and ought to know.
A parent can do ids boys and girls
no gieatcr service than to teacli them
the dignity of labor and the folly of
idleness. The boy who learns to work
makes the man who works. During
vacations from school, boys and girls
should not bo forced Into drudgery,
but reasonable employment may be
gieu them and they should be taught
todothcwoik. Kvery boy and girl
that works enjoys the pleasures that
come much more thoroughly than
the ones who aiu Idle all day. The
Idle boy and girl llntl many hours that
they do not know how to put In pleas
antly and when pleasure comes along
thty arc scarcely In the frame of mind
to enjoy it. It pays the boys and girls
to keep busy Just as it does men and
women. A ceaseless hunt for pleasure
cither docs not bring It at all, or else
brings a surfeit of It. Give the bojs
and girls work to do, teach them to do
L well and do not be afraid to show
your appreciation of work v.rll done.
CACHE'S FUTURE.
It Is noted that In a 20 foot miuiuK
tunnel north of Ogdcn a 1'- foot vein
of molybdenum has, been discovered.
This is a raic metal commanding an
exceedingly good value. Months ago
a gentleman In Cache valley who has
done some little work iri analysis said
that he was certain that In the moun
tains east of us molybdenum could be
found In paying quantities. Since
thai time, Prof. Peterson, geologist at
the A. C. of U, reported a Unci of
molybdenite at the Hodges mining
property 'ust on ttie other side of the
mountains At that place a consider
able quantity of tills valuable metal
had been run out on the dump as
woithless Now comes this latest re
pott from a point but a short distance
south of us. With the showing that
is made here so far as out croppings of
mineral Is concerned and the better
appearance of eacli prospect as depth
is attained, it can hardly be doubted
that some day, some prospector will
tap the vein that will bring riches to
himself and a great growth to Cache
valley Rich ore nottli of us, great
mines south of us, millions from the
mountains a few hundred miles cast,
and fabulous riches from the country
adjoining us on Hie west, It can hard
ly be possible that nature failed to
leave some of her treasure here.
Willie Cache is making progress with
licr mining prospects but slowly, we
believe that It is good to be here, for
it is possible that In some 'way, some
day the people of this valley will
see the advisability of pooling In
terests and demonstrating whether or
not Cache can be made another Bing
ham, or perchance a Manhattan.
THE WORK OF OFf ICIALS.
Those not having followed the mat
ter can hardly conceive of the magni
tude of the city's business today and
the multifarious duties of the council
men and city oillcials generally. Ten
years ago the work was absolutely in
slgnlticant compared with that of to
day. The cltien laboring under the
Impression that their councllmen have
little to do other than- attend meet
ings twice a month, levy taxes and
then make appropriations, are sadly
at fault. Individual committees have
numberless petitions referrca to them
at each meeting, the merits of wnlch
they must investigate and then report.
These Investigates entail no end of
trouble and an unlimited amount of
time, and the necessities of the situa
tion not Infrequently demand cxj,ra
meetings of tho council. The pro
gress that has been made by the city
in ten years lias entailed upon the
Mavor and city oillcials an extraordin
ary amount of work and If it some
times seems that there Is excuse to
mako a kick, tills fact should bo taken
Into consideration. There Isn't a sin
gc member of the council who does
not glvo the city ten times as much
time as his salary warrants, for the
work must be dona and tho members
sacrifice the time to do it Tills is
what they were elected for, of course,
but In this age It Is commendable to
do one's duty. t

OUR SHOW WINDOWS.
Do the citlens ever stop to think
Just how much they are Indebted to
the progressive merchant who pre
sents attractive window displays? Do
they ever stop to think Just what a
trip down the business section of the
city would be If It were not for the
artistic efforts of the merchants?
Tills Is one of the things that makes
the difference between the slow,
poky town and the live, wide awake
city the pedestrian may sec things
that are attractive, pleasing to the
cje, diverting to the mind. Logan Is
noted for It? line window displays;
traveling men who go Into most of the
smaller cities and towns of the west
and east say that. In number of at
tractive window displays and stocks
of goods well arranged. Logan has
them all beaten a mile. Many of the
towns and cities have certain llrms
that put up elegant windows, but
these arc limited in number. In Lo
gan the merchants as awholo arc alive
to the valueof tills kind of advertise-
Ing.sliow no little taste In their eUorts,
and as a lcsult the cltlens have pleas
ures In tills lespect that they should
appreciate thoroughly. It takes no
little lime and studied etfort, as well
as an outlay of money to mako attiac
tlvc window displays and that the
merchants of this city have the dispo
sition and capacity to attain the splen
did results they do is Indeed highly
commendable. It Is respectfully sug
gested here that It Is but llttlng that
admirers of these window displays
should occasionally mention to the
merchant their appreciation of some
particular effort. Tills will prdvo an
encouragement and an Incentive to
continued cITort along this lino.
DENATUREIZED ALCOHOL.
In a recent Issue Tnu Rk.piiii.ican
mentioned the fact that there Is now
before Congress a bill providing that
denaturized alcohol shall not be tax
ed. Dcnaturlcd alcohol will furnish
power, light and heat and would be
used for that If the government reve
nue of '-' 08 a gallon did not make it
tontniislve. This class of alcohol
can b made from potatoes, corn, corn
stalks, beet pulp, anvthlng that con
tains starch. A scientific article at
hand says that it costs twenty cents
to make a gallon from good corn, so it
is readily seen how easily this would
come into serious competition with
the Standard Oil trust. Denaturized
alcohol burns In an ordinary kerpscne
lamp and a gallon of it Is said to make
twice the llglit make by a gallon of
kerosene. It burns clear and hot
without smell or danger In a stove
with a single burner. It can
bo used in engines and .motors now
built for gasoline, that is, by direct
explosion, or It can be burned in a fur
nace and produce steam the same as
coal. It Is clean, safe and effective.
There is a varied lot of Interesting
figures and speculation in connection
with denaturied alcohol, not the least
of which is that an acre of potatoes,
prolific potatoes that produce liOO bus
hels, will furnish 300 gallons of alcohol,
and it is said that spoiled potatoes or
spoiled corn and any other waste of
starch or sugar produces alcohol the
equal of any. When the lax was origin
ally made no know ledge was had of de
natured alcohol. Now to get tills great
boon we must go through the formali
ty of passing a law tcmovi.ig ttie tax.
A bill is now before Congress and It
lias the support of Secretary Wllon
and all those who have Investigated '
the matter. It may be leadilcon- i
celved that the great oil trusts will
light the bill
EDITED WITH AN AX. j
Those Chinese pirates wlioluoted a
Standard Oil launch near Canton,
deserve medals. Here Is another case
where the heathen have gotten ahead
of the Yankees, for no one else ever
obtained anything from the Standard
without paying a big price for It
The new Rockefeller babv is said to
be worth $100,000,000 for every pound
lie weighs. Lots of us would be will
ing to undertake a load like that
Mr. Eckles says that "common sense
Is the greatest need of the democratic
party." Thought the greatest need
was votes.
