THE HERALD AS AN EDUCATOR.

Mr.. D. P. Felt, agent for THE HERALD. was
IN town last week soliciting advertising from
Tue business men. The scheme is to issue q
special advertising sheet for Richfield, contain
ing the ''ad" OF each business house and 8
snort Wrlte.up on the history and progress OF
Inc city. He stated 10 an Adpocate man thai
lne Dus ness men were not coming to the front
IN very Sood shape. many OF them prefelrng tc
patronlze their nome paper rather than build
Ing up salt Lake papers. That's right
The foregoing excerpt from the Rich
field ADVOCATE was read with degree of
surprise by the said agent" and in ius
tlce to the town of Richheld, he must re-
lutte the statement In the first place
every business man seen responded very
readily to his proposition Except one). and
the regrets expressed by this "agent'i
were the inability to see the superintend
ents of the two Co. ops, both of whom
were not In town, and he did not like to
publish "write-up" of Richfield and
business houses without Including those
firms. AS 1t was, the agent secured
over half page and only worked few
b. urs. He would respectfully suggest 10
the advocate that if it would submit its
locals" to person of good Judgment i,
would save the unfortunate uncoyerine of
pair OF good long ears. A short time
ago BHE HERALD representative drew at
tentlon to the rough aud neglected condi.
ton OF the roads, fact that is plain to
every traveller, and should have been
heartily endorsed by this county organ, in
stead OF which the writer was held IN tn
ridioule and accused Of lacking geoSraphi-
cal knowledge. Where this factor in the ed-
ucational world is necessary to determine
whether the Sewer county roads are good
or not he fails to understand, while
the truth OF his observations can
be verified by all southern travellers.
He will concede the county shows an
unusual degree of interest in agriculture,
and irrigation matters, having more miles
OF corrals and bitches than any other
county. Perhaps the strict attention to
these aHalrs causes neglect of roads, and
as before stated Sanpets and Pluto
counties can certainly discoant it in
inc way OF county or private
roads. MIR. Advocate, please put
that In your pipe and smoke it and don't
and suggest means to the advancement of
your county. You certainly ought to know
That the fact that your business men. If IL
were fact, should spurn a legitimate
proposition 10 advance the interests Of
themselves and their city. would reflect
only on themselves and the city. Oh no.
your business men are too shrewd for that
and VIII not fail TO accept good thing
when 1t Is offered. The same proposit;on
wos .enuoieu oailuo, MANU-, Nepol and all
the cities north Of Logan and was eagerly
accepted by all just rs it was in your town
by all who were approached.
i. K. Wright, The HERALD agent at
Richfeld, says this paper is authority on
all subjects political, the chief educator
and the peoples paper irrespective of poll
tics or religion in his district. Ike, by the
way, has secured wife who knows how to
run first class hotel in the south and who
has that quality which interpreted means
"call again." and you bet they do
