their new paper has already cost them
nearly three thousand dollars, in adj
dition to the income 1t has received,
and that requests for more money are
so frequent that they cannot bear the
burden much longer. Think OF IL;
Three thousand dollars contributed
in less than year! Newspapers come
high, but we presume the RepuDli-
cans must have them. This accounts
for the wonderful success. Logan
Nation.
What base ingratitude! Last week
we made mention Of the fact that the
Nation and Journal are improving In
appearance, and also joined In glad
refrain over their projects for erect
ing new homes, in fact gave them a
little free Advertising In a paper OF
wide circulation--and to get this in
return. 1t almost causes us to lose
faith in mankind-to get such lick
from one whom we sought to befriend;
It's terrible. And the worst part of the
whole thing Is that the squib is writ
ten as though the writer would like
to believe that what he says Is true.

tempt to make his 4s6 readers think
so, shows disposition we had never
thought to find in a man of such
pleasant personality, outwardly. Our
greatest pleasure has always been in
the confidence we imposed in our fell
bowman, especially our journalistic
brethren, and to have this confidence
so rudely shattered "mourn and
mourn and mourn" Yet our suffer-
ing is not greater than Others have
had TO bear so we dry our weeping
eyes and resign oursef to the task of
removing the false impression that
may have been created in the minds
of The Nations 1856 subscribers. 1t Is
not right that even so few of the peO-
pie should be imposed upon, and while
the Nation man by this time no doubt
deeply regrets giving way to dis
position to misrepresent cOntem-
pory, we know how hard 1t Is even for
I strong characters to admit that they
are wrong, and hasten to relieve him
from the embarrassment that must
necessarily be his.
The Logan Republican is owned by
, the Logan Newspaper Co., composed
, of stockholders from among the
wealthiest and most influential MEM
r bers of the Republican party in Cache
: county. This company owns plant
that, including the cost of installation
, and certain improvements that have
+ been added, cost $1,000. The stock
: holders have paid 81 400 of this amount
B and are meeting notes as they come
due. The company not only owns
this plant which is well worth all the
money paid for 1t, but owns business
built up by Moore and Turner, the
= present lessees, which, at the least
: computation, is worth $1,000. AT the
