Unpopular Officials.

Results have shown that the first dis
trust was well founded. In a county
where, as one man put 1t yesterday
there is scarcely a foot of waste land,
and where the people depend largely
on agricultural pursuits, the commits
siOners have neglected the roads I'M
til in many places they are practically
impossible. Little attention has been
paid to anything except misguided
economy, and the result is.that every
body who has to do any travelling over
the thOrOughfares of the county has a
kick coming.
sample of the county administra-
ton was pointed out The commits
siOners are building two bridges not
very far from town. They are pro-
ceeding with this work before acquir-
ing title to a right of way to these
bridges, and, to quote a Logan man
who is posted on these matters: ''Peo-
pie who want to use those bridges will
have to fly to get to them"
These are a few of the reasons why
Republicans here are willing to admit
that they have no hope of carrying the
county. There are others. Most of the
present Republican officers will de-
mand a denomination by way of en-
dorsement. With few exceptions they
have been so VIGOROUSLY inefficient that
to renominate them will be practically
the same as making no nominations
at all.
Still, if they are not endorsed
there is chance that they will bolt the
ticket, thus rendering forlorn hope
even more hopeless. All things con-
sidered, the Cache Republicans have
very few things to be thankful for
Even without any dissensions in their
party they would have no chance to
win, but with the jealousies that are
sure to crop out when the nominal
tons are made the last vestige of IA
vOrable prospect is wiped away.
How Salaries Are Fixed.
One of the very oldest things in this
county of odd politics is the way in
which the commissioners recently fixed
the salary of the county superintendent
Of schools. 1t happened that Commits
sioner Liljenquist was necessarily alb
sent, leaving only Commissioners Muir
and Meikle to act. Muir who poses
as the watchdog Of the treasury
wanted to economic. He proposed to
fix the salary at $500 per year. Meikle
objected to this and suggested $500 as
the figure. A long debate followed,
which ended when the pair agreed to
draw straws. Meikle won and thus
made the county superintendent 5000
per year richer.
In connection with the race for coun-
" school superintendent. is an instance
of the hopelessness of the Republicans
in this county. County Chairman
Knowles says his party, in all prob
ability, will not name any candidate as
it would be of no avail There is talk
by the Democrats Of naming a woman
for the position, although none has yet
expressed a desire for the nomination.
