Protest Containing Grave Charges
Against the Postofice Appointee.
Logan, Dec. 1O.-Your correspondent
learned this morning on good author
ity that a petition had been circulated
on the quiet by a certain element in
Logan, making grave charges against
President O~sOD Smith. in opposition 10
his confirmation as postmaster for Lo-
gan. The petition was signed by per-
sonal enemies in his own political
party. The charges are based on ru-
more which have been in circulation
for some time and which. Mr. Smiths
friends say. are without foundation.
Even Mr.. Smiths political opponents
denounce the action Of those who orig
mated and signed the petition. The
Herald's informant was Of the opinion
that the petition had already been for
warded to Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Smith is considered a gentleman
OF honor. and q man whose integrity
was never questioned by those who best
know him. BE has numerous friends
IN both of the political parties who de-
nounce this action.
The petition is not the one referred
to in this mornings Herald. but is a
second petition, gotten up by an Alto
eether different class.
Such fight over a postofice is with
out precedent in this section. The Re
pubIicans are breaking all former rec
ords in scrambling for Office.

interest of the bull clique to allow the
December price to settle down to a point
where it would be less attractive for
country holders to send all their wheat

cause this was palpable, many others ex-
Dected a similar course ana there was a
weak market.

GRAIN RATE RAISED.
The railroads have raised the rate on
grain from Nebraska points TO the ex-
tent of cents per 100 pounds to NIL
ford. This viii give the Utah grain a
little better chance to get into this mar
ket, and the Sewer valley product viii
evidently come this way from this on.
Nebraska oats are worth S1.03 per 100
pounds, laid down here, now, cash, and
the Nebraska grain does not give the
satisfaction that is gotten out of the
Utah product, and of course is not
worth the money for feed. The highest
price paid for oats in Milford was
reached last spring, and as long as the
railroads are liberal enough to not
raise the rates TOO fast, the thing viii
equalize itself, and the market remain
steady at about $l10 laid down here
at Milford.

held the stage in the Chicago wheat
market and although it closed at S10s, 4
cents lower than yesterday, the strength
shown IN the early hours of trade was
suf1cient to give the luckless shorts
various styles of nervous chills. The
peculiar status of today's decline is the
fact that it is generally believed to have
been forced BY the bull CLIQUE. which
controls the situation The explanation
given is that the bun combine fears the
