The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1902-12-12

The difficulty that has arisen down
in Venezuela may lead to complica-
tions that would ultimately involve
this nation in the squabble. 1t is just
possible that Prest. Castro, i'm lieu of
cash, may offer a land concession to
satisfy the claims of England and Ger
many. In that event it might con-
tlict with our Interpretation of the
Monroe Doctine. 1t Is hardly prob
able that we would permit a transfer
of territory to either England or Ger
many; but it might nccessitate our
taking hand down there, to the
extent that we might guarantee the
payment of the Indebtedness and take
charge of the custom houses ourselves
until the claims were satisfied. 1t
would seem like an act of Christian
charity to several of the Spanish
American Republics if we would give
them to understand that they must
stop their quarreling and maintain
some sort of order, or we will be COM
PEELED to interfere in the interests of
humanity, just as we did in Cuba.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1902-12-12

We understand that within the next
few days the city council and county
commissioners will de asked to give a
way some valuable franchises. In the
past we have been in to great hurry
to grant these concessions and in many
instances the peoples interests have
been sacrificed for individual gain.
While it is right to use all proper
means to secure street car lines, tele-
phone systems etc, there should be re-
strictions and limitations that will en-
able the people to control them for the
public good.

Those Who Work For Salaries.

1t Is quite noticeable in this coun-
try, as rule, that men who work
from year to year under common
salary, never get ahead financially, nor
make any particular mark in life.
While such men may have ability in
varied ways, even more than those
they work under, but being creatures
of circumstances, remain for years
without much promotion; working by
the month, drawing salaries at the
end thereof What becomes of the
salary? Every dollar is usually spent
for the living expenses of the family
So it goes from month to month, and
year to year, until some men pass the
meridian of their lives working for
wages, and not dollar laid away to
help themselves with, in the days they
need it the most. 1t may not be put
ting it too strong If we should say
there appears to be fatality follow
ing all such men. 1t is admitted that
salaries paid to men in their early life
Is good thing. At such times while
they have small families, perhaps none
at all, portion of their earnings
should be laid away as saving de-
posit for future use, so that when an
opportunity presents itself, some bust
ness may be gone into whereby profit
from small investment may be rea-
lized, and thus to certain extent be-
come independent. The western coun-
try being new, many enterprises in a
small way can be gone into, that will
be lucrative with small amount Of
capital and therefor this writing is
more applicable to this country than
to the east. Further, large corpora
tions seem to have an age limit, that
when employees have spent the best
of their lives IN their employ, such
men are released and younger ones
employed to take their places. To
men that are approaching middle age,
we say break away, il you can rustic a
little capital any way at all. If you
can not do anything but raise beets,
start poultry farm, go into the bee

upon the cover containing it the
words mo monopoly product. Pro-

culture, get few sheep and Craze
them on Uncle Sans domain. Get
out and direct the labor of your boys;
have them around you. Perhaps at
the present time while you are earn
ing monthly pittance, to be con-
sumed as regularly as it is earned,
your boys are running the streets
learning mischief. We repeat again,
to young men who are earning wages;
be frugal, save some Of your earnings,
deposit IT, An savings bank, so that
in ripper years you will not be under
the necessity Of being bossed by men
that don't know as much as you have
forgotten. Remember there is no
pension awaiting you in old age. The
Chicago North Western Rail Road
company have most excellent rule
established. All employees remaining
faithful and loyal to their company, at
certain age are placed on retired
list with pension. Even in sickness
their faithful employees are cared for.
Last summer one Of their telegraph
operators was in this locality on va
cation through sickness, attended by
a nurse, and the whole expense was
paid by the company, which is GER
tainly praiseworthy. These advan-
tages do not await you, therefor look
ahead little and prepare for the fu-
ture. In making the above change
you may be cut short Of some advant-
ages for a time, but in the long run
you will be better of, and be placed
on an independent footing. Men
working for salaries reflect on these
suggestions

that the United States last year pro-
duced $7s, 100000 in gold and $33,OOO,-
600 in silver, or nearly one third of the
worlds total, which was 1868, 1873, 800
for the two metals. Australia was
second in gold production, with a
total Of $76,OOO,OOO. The output Of
gold in Africa in 1901 was only $9,OOO,-

duction, with yield of $34, 100000 to

It's evident that determined effort
will be made by Utahs Senator and
Representative to push the opening of
the Uintah reserve. Much remains to
do; the consent Of the Uintahs must
first be had, and the land will have to
be surveyed, but it is hoped that the
matter may be kept moving, and the
hope is for opening without unreason-
able delay. The main thing Is to keep
the matter moving.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
'ne'r Adoption in the Philippines De
nounced in the Senate.


Washington, May 21.-The subject
OF the concentration of the inhabi.
tants in the Philippines into camps
was leading topic of the discussion
OF the Philippine bill in the senate.
Mr.: Bacon of Georgia attacked the
policy OF concentration, likening it to
the RECOMMENDATION camps established
by General Weyler in Cuba.
Mr.. Foraker of Ohio defended the
action of the military authorities in
establishing the camps in the Philip.
pines as wise and proper and as
means of protecting friendly Filipinos
from assassination at the hands of row.
ing bands of insurgents. He read a
description of the camps to show that
they were really camps of instruction
and sanitation.
MIR. Hoar of Massachusetts spoke
briefly in line with Mr.. Bacon, criti.
clslng the concentration camps and
pointing out the difficulty in getting
army officers to testify regarding the
situation.
The days debate was closed by Mr..
Clapp of Minnesota in an eloquent
speech, in which he urged that the
Fillpinos ought to be taught to admire
and respect the United States as ma
ton which always had stood for lib
erty and progress and never had brok-
en- its word to any people, great or
small.

Eighty-two Bodies So Far Recovered
From the Pit.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 21.-Eighty-
two bodies Have so far been taken
from Fraterville mine at Coal Creek,
the scene of the catastrophe in which
the lives of 225 miners were blotted
out. Ernest Mcdonald was taken out
alive at late hour. He had fallen
into spring and was completely cov-
cred by water except half his face
when found. He had entered the mine
is minutes after the other men and
his story of the explosion was told
while his breath came in ftful gasps.
It is impossible for him to live more
than a. few hours, for he is horribly
mangled. Both arms were twisted
from his shoulders, both eyes blown
out and~both thighs broken.
The coroner's inquest examined a
number of witnesses, but did not COM
plete it's work. Fresh crews of res
cuers went to work and will toll on
increasingly unless another explosion
Of fire damp, which is feared, occurs.
The cause Of the disaster developed
during the day when it became known
that gas had collected in an aban-
doned mine close by into which an
opening had been accidentally made
last week by a work boy in a lateral
shaft.
An attempt was made to stop up the
opening, but it is believed that a leak
remained.

CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE,
House Passes Resolution Conqratu-
Iatinq the Island,

House Passes a Resolution congratu-
Iating the Island.
Washington, May 21-For a third
time within a week the house has in
structed it's conferees on matters of
dispute between the senate and house,
The instructions were given on amend
ments in the army appropriation bill
before the conferees had even con-
sidered the matters in controversy.
The motion to instruct was made by
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee. It was
resisted by Mr.. Hull, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, and a.
spirited debate followed which devel-
oped antagonism between the commit
tees. The amendment at which Mr..
Cannon aimed was that which in
creased the appropriation for military
posts from 100000 to $4,000,0O0.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Hit,
chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee, felicitating Cuba on her indie
pendence, was passed unanimously. A
bill amending the passport law was
passed. The remainder of the day
was devoted to private claims bills.

BEEF AND LIVE STOCK RATES.
Traffic Officials Of Western Roads
Meet to Adjust Them.

u Chicago, May PA meeting of the
general traffic officials of the West
ern roads was held here for the puir-
pose OF adjusting beef and live stock
rates between Chicago and st. Paul
and Chicago and the Missouri river.
It was determined that the Chicago
st. Paul roads should adjust their diff
ferences before any action was taken
regarding rates between Chicago and
the Missouri river. A committee was
appointed to; check up rates on a basis
ct 237a cents on dressed beef, packing
house products and live stock from st.
Paul to Chicago. The committee made
a report accordingly late in the day,
but there was so much discussion
that no action was taken. When the
Chicago-St. Paul rates have been fixed
an attempt will be made to adjust the
rates between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river on the basis of 231h cents.

MINNESOTA \TAkES A HAND.
Railway Commission Wants Local
Packing House Rates Undisturbed,

Chicago, May 21.-The railroad COM
mission of Minnesota has taken hand
IN the rate problem which is confront
ing Western lines. Traffic officials of
the Chicago-St. Paul lines have re-
celved letters from the chairman of
the commission requesting them to not
disturb local rates in Minnesota while
equallzing tariffs on packing house
products and live stock products. The
fear of the Minnesota commission is
that through rates will be made such
as to draw the live stock from the
state from South st. Paul, which was
not affected by the decision of 1890,
to Chicago.
