Why should not Logan county
newspapers issue a large boom edi-
tion and circulate through the East
ern States. Travel where you may
Logan county has many advantages
to offer to residents of the Eastern
and New England States, that no
other county is privileged to put for
ward. We see no reason whatever
that Logan county people should not
push forward to secure many settlers
from Eastern States. Push, push,
push, would do much toward attract
ing Eastern people to this vicinity,
although we have no cheap land to
offer them.-W. Mansfield Enterprise.

some of all weeds. / have a garden
about .three-fourths of an acre, that
when / came here seemed to be thor
oughly seeded with them. I fought
them all summer-they would come
up after every stirring of the soil, so
as to almost cover the ground, and
grow with such vigor. that If left
alone, nothing else could have been
grown. They kept this up till winter
came, and though / let none ripen

great numbers. One of my neighbor-
bors told me that he knew a field,
that had become badly infested with
them that was last year planted to
corn. In the fall on many parts of
the field, nothing could be seen but
morning glories- while where there
was any corn, it was so tied together
by the vines, that it was more trouble
to save it than it was worth. When

in places, taken possession of acres
of land, and is veritable nuisance.
AS a rule here, especially in the
rural districts, little or no effort is
made in the way of adorning or beau
tifying the farms or homes, and what
is done, often falls so far short OF
what is required, or is possibly so far
from being the thing that ought to
to be done, that the effort is failure,
and the adornment doesn't adorn. A

it blooms and is found in close prox.

fennel and several wild onions, there
seems a lack of harmony. In the
rural districts, everything in the
shape of a building-houses, barns,
stables, hen coops, and all board
fences-must be white-washed, once
every seven years at least. After
about two-thirds of it scales off, the
effect is very fine.

day to day, and Russia is said to
have ordered her Black sea squadron

How Hartman Avoided Ser.

Edward II. Hartman, the twentieth
century railroader. fitted through Og-
den late last night. and thereby hangs
a tale. At the Union station, patient
ly awaiting the coming of the mag
nate. was Deputy United States Mar
shall Smith of Salt Lake. armed with
service papers, presumably in the
suit Of the heirs of the late ex-Gov.
Durkee against the Union Pacific for
a sum something like $40. 00v 900. But,
for the first time in the history OF
Ogden, a train went through without
stopping. Not only this, but 1t went
through at the lively rate of fifty
miles an hour. and when the loungers
at the depot rubbed the dust gu OF
their eyes the special vas putting
through the canyon trying to reach
the state line on a record-breaKing
run. By now the train is making its
usual slow daylight inspection run
through the n~eighboring state.
About two years ago Mr.. Harri-
nan was informed that the papers
were to be served. and so he went
oy without coming to Salt Lake. He
was informed early yesterday that the
deputy would be at the Union station
and all attaches of the Southern Pa
cifc and Union depot and Terminal
company at Ogden worked out the de-
tails of the midnight passage through
the yards. Twenty minutes prior to
the coming of the train every switci
engine was ordered into clear. a
Switchman looked to every switch be-
tween the yard-limit sign boards and
from the end of the Union Pacific to
the end of the Southern Pacific yard
every man was on the alert. The
train crew was notified that Ogden
was but a way station for this partic-
ular train. and at 10 D. m. the time

NO GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE
mt Reached Between
COmpal y a d Employees

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 15.-All dan
ger of a strike on the Great North
ern system has passed and an ami
cable agreement between the company
and its trainmen has been reached,
the schedules having been signed
shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon.
Both sides made concessions, al
though on the face of the terms Of
the compromise. as stated by A. B.
Garretson, the assistant grand con-
ductor of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, the men have somewhat the
better of it. They are granted an in
crease of wages which averages Is per
cent, dating from March /; the yard
men get the Chicago scale, which is
three cents an hour higher than the
St. Paul scale; new men are given
increased wages after one years SER
vice, instead of five. as proposed by
the company.
On the double-header question,
which was the OF the deadlock
ia the negotiations, the men modified
their demands to a slight degree.
East Of Minot. according to the agree
ment, the road may run one-half OF
n e per cent Of the gross mileage
as double-headers. But in computing
he percentage of double-headers help
er engines must be included.
Garretson, on behalf of the men,
expressed himself as extremely we'll
pleased with the result of the nego-
tiations.
President ]. ]. Hill. who has been
making a tour of the Mesaba range,
arrived home shortly after the sign
ing of the agreement with the men,
and said that he was very glad that
an arrangement had been reached,
and that a strike had been averted.
