WHY LOGAN PEOPLE ARE MAD
NEW TRAIN SERVICE MEANS
DELAYED MAIL.
How the Through Train Schedule
Worked Before-No Mail For Two
Days.

A Logan. merchant, in speaking yes
terday of the proposed change in the
Cache valley time table. said that the
travelling public were not the only ones
who would suffer if the old train serv-
ice were again instituted by the Oregon
Short Line. According to his story,
great injustice will be done to all the
people of the valley on account of hav
ing to wait frequently day for then'
mail. During the senatorial fight the
through train carrying Logan mail was
frequently late, and every time this
happened the mail would have to lie
in Cache Junction all night and until
the next day. because the branch train
could not wait at the junction to make
the connection, but would proceed on
to Preston. At other times the mail
would be carried through to Pocatello.
On account of the poor service, the peo
pie frequently went two days at time
without Salt Lake papers. The people
are of the opinion that if that service
is to be restored that Uncle Sam had
better establish a pony express. so that
they can find out what is going on
among their neighbors.
Whatever the new service will be, ~
appears that the operating department
of the road is not anxious for the pub
lie to know it.

Bywater jumped into the lead.
AS the train passed Becks, Johnny
Ensign was overtaken coming down the
hill into the springs. and closely fol-
lowing him was Will Samuelson, the
lad from Provo. The two were cutting
out a merry pace, and for a distance OF
100 yards or more they were right along
beside the train, and the spectators
howled and cheered with excitement
Ensign glanced up and smiled for an
instant, but kept up his rapid pedaling
and was soon digging away up the kill
ing Beck's hill, with Samuelson Still
following.
This hill proved the Waterloo for
many of the ambitious ones, and it was

looked for a time as though he would
leave him; but Ensign, although tired
after his long pacemaking up the hill,
was game. and rapidly gained his tenn
porary loss.

THE AFTERNOON GAME.
Buttes Again Go Down Before the
Railroaders.

The second game of the day between
the Butte and Short Line teams took
place in the afternoon. beginning at
4:10, on the Lagoon diamond The
contest, if it may be dignified by that
term, resulted in an entirely one-sided
victory for the railroad boys, the score
being % to s, and was sore disap-
pointment to those who had looked
forward to a close and scientific eX-
hibition- Nine hundred people were in
the grandstand and bleacherS to see
the first game played on the Lagoon
grounds, which are certainly the most
neatly laid out and most thoroughly
equipped for the accommodation of
both players and spectators of any to
be found in this city or vicinity.
The grandstand and bleachers are
commodious, with a seating capacity
of at least $500. and the grounds are
laid off smoothly and placed in such a
position that the spectators may have
the most advantageous view Of the
field.
The newness of the field. however.
and the heavy rain of Monday night
combined to make 1t very slow work
for the players. especially in the out
field, where the water had settled and
turned the loose earth into sticky mud
holes. This accounts to some extent
for the large score, but the fact re-
mains that the game was character
lied by pretty bum playing. This was
especially true on the part of the
Butte team. who seemed to have no
pitcher at hand who could even begin
to hold down the Short Line batters.
McDonough tried it for three innings,
and gave twelve hits, upon which he
went out to left field and Cleveland
Jumped into the box. Cleveland how
ever, was not feeling his oats properly
it would seem. for during the next
three rounds the Short Lines didn't do
thing but touch him off for eleven
more.

it could not be told who they were.
AS the train pulled into Pennington
there was a rush for the tape, and the
officials were lined up ready for the
finish. The finish was roped in for
distance of 100 yards, and the local
Pennington authorities kept the course
clear.

was a shouting up at the further end of
the line, and cries of Here they Gomez

tape with a peculiar swish, with No. L

it was his kid brother, and another
victory had been added to the credit of

The man who had lost the race by
only a few feet was Tommy Luker of
Bountiful. He also was a six-minute
man, and he and Smith had remained
together from start TO finish.

One Minute Men Start.
The crowd was much interested in
the one-minute men, who came next,
for it was expected that the winner of
the time prize would be among this
crowd or the scratch men. John Ensign
with Will Samuelson and G. Thiriot, the
two Provo riders, were the one-minute
riders, and they jumped the gun like
riders in a quarter-mile track race. AS
