The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-07-01

The wheat crops through Peters
boro and Trenton look very bad at the
present time. IF a rain does not come
shortly, the crops will almost be a
| failure.
An engineer was fined twenty-five
dollars last week for fishing in the
Portneuf river without license,
which would have cost him one dollar.
Utahns who travel north must look
out about their fishing i'm the Port
neuf. for men arc engaged to watch
the river.
Rev. Knox arrived here from Grove
City, Penn, Monday, and assumed his
duties as pastor Of the Presbyterian
mission at Hyrum. He is a young
man, recent graduate from the SEM
mary and his movements will prove of
consi derable interest for awhile.
The station on the o. S. L. former
ly known as Thatcher" has been
changed to that Of Virginia. The
change in the name was caused by
goods being miscarried to this point
when they were intended for Thatch-
er, in Gentle valley, therefore should
have been left at oxford. The rail-
road company has experienced great
many annoyances through the wrong
delivery of goods, therefore the change
was deemed best for all concerned.

street, at the old stand Of Isaac Elwell.

reduced sales, four packages Arbuckle

Give him call.
A Logan gentleman who hires from
fifteen to twenty men during the hay
ing season each year, says that it is
almost an impossiblity to get men
this year. The greater portion of
those who have hired to him hereto
fore, have become ''affluent" and do
not care to work. The REPUBLICAN
is not prepared to state whether this
sudden rise to afiluence is fact and
due to the unprecedented prosperity,
or is only bluff resulting from gen.
eral cussedness.
The presence of b. Ii. Roberts drew
a very large audience to the Taber-
nacle Sunday evening, and in his
treatment of Revelation" Utah's
pride delighted that audience very
much. Mr.. Roberts made Il forceful
argument showing that revelation is
necessary and offered nothing that
the most orthodox of other de-
nominations could not sanction, at
least with slight mental reservations.
The speaker occupied the floor for
more than an hour but presented his
arguments in such pleasing way tnat
he held the undivided attention of his
audience for that length Of time.
One of the favorable signs for
Logan is the fact that houses erected
on the outskirts Of the city are Of
more pretentious appearance than
formerly. Especially is this true in
the southeast part of the city, on
the Island. Several nice brick and
frame houses are either in course of con-
struction or have just been completed,
and in each instance the buildings are
up-to-date in style of architecture and
are credit to the vicinities i'm which
they are located. In other parts Of
the city also may be found quite a
number of houses in course of con-
struction, most of which are more
than the one and two room shells and
novels which mark the building era of
days gone by. The improvement is to
be commended and is highly graft
flying.
William McCulloch of Cache juno
ton is very pronounced in his denial
of statement recently published in
this paper about his prospective mar
