A gentleman of this city who is well
informed as to conditions, states that
50 far as direct benefit is concerned,
Logan gets less results from the local
sugar factory than does either Hyde
Park or Providence. This is rather
astonishing but Il little investigation
will probably prove the truth Of the
statement, at least that Logan is not
getting from the factory the benefits
that 1t could and should have. So far
as the factory furnishing employment
for local labor, last year the force at
the factory was comprised of greater
number of laborerS from Providence
than from Logan, and 1t Is none the
less true that the farmers of Hyde
Park furnished more bcets for the fac
tory than did Logan farmers. OF
course Logan gets good part of the
money paid to the Hyde Park people
for their bcets, but there is little
reason for this city not deriving much
greater benefit than this. II Logan
farmers were alive to their opportuni-
ties they certainly would have some
of these vacant fields around here UNI
der beet cultivation. 1t has been proved
that beet raising is profitable, and
surely the farmers of this vicinity did
not pull for the factory Just for the
sake of having it located here. Was
it the direct or indirect benefits the
farmers and citizens of Logan had in
mind when they urged Logan upon
the factory people? why will Logan
ties get entirely out of this part of the
country hunting for work, and per-
nit Providence and Hyrum laborers
to occupy places that should be their
own at the factory? The laborers at
the factory are fairly well paid, yet
just such condition prevails as is
mentioned above.

The frequent recurring scandals in

middle classes from whose ranks the

lower classes ignorance kills ambition

MObS A Menace.

The continued repetition Of mob
violence wherein negroes are shot,
hung, burned, torn limb from limb,
etc. shows such disregard for law
among those who claim TO be law
abiding, that this nation is being
brought into odiouS comparison with
Turkey, Roumania and Russia, whose
recent horrors were the talk of the
world. This is not as it should be, and
behoovcs every man who calls himself
a lover of law and Justice, who feels
that he is real American, to use
what influence he can command to
remedy these conditions.

for Democratic kiCkerS.

But a short time ago imperialism"
and expansion agitated the minds
of the people, and the Democratic
press of today frequently gets In Il
howl about the improperly Of our
owning the Philippines, and bemoans
the loss Of that s2O,OOO,OOO paid to
Spain. Those who are at all familiar
with history will readily call to mind
the strenuous objections to the an
nexation OF Texas, and how those OBJ
jcctions have been proved but ignorant
vaporings Of demigogues who sought
to agitate, and nothing more. The
Gadsden purchase met with the most
violent opposition, and in this pur-
chase as well as i'm the annexation of
Texas the farsightedness of keen
business men is commended beyond
measure today. And who Is there
that will not recall the terrific on
slaughts of the opposition TO the pur-
chase of Alaska? The battle was
/
by the friends of expansion and any.
one knowing the value Of Alaska to-
day doubts for a single minute the
wisdom of the purchase.
The territory of Alaska being so
far away people fail to keep in touch
with its progress. The conveniences
and climate are usually based upon
lurid tales that have been heard from
time to time.
Alaska is great empire five hun
bred times as large as the state of
Rhode Island, nearly as large in area
as all of the states east of the MisSiS-
Sippi river, and has resources to sup
port ten millions Of people. The Yu-
kon is now believed to be the largest
river in North America, being longer
and larger than the Mississippi, it be-
ing possible to travel a distance of
two thousand miles upon II with as
much comfort as upon the Hudson
river. 1t is stated that the Yukon
valley is richer than the Missouri val
ley: that there is more coal in Alaska
than there is in the state of Penn
syIvania. Gold has been the drawing
card TO Alaska, and well it might be
if it is true as stated that it is be-
Iievcd there is more gold there than
ever was taken from California. There
has been in operation there for years
past the largest gold stamp mill in
the world, and recently mountains of
copper have been discovered. In 1903
the salmon catch alone in Alaska
amounted TO more than the purchase
price paid to Russia-S7 200, 900. There
is more cod i'm the Alaskan waters
than there is on the banks of New
foundland: hundreds of miles of fine
timber is now untouched; and the pos
sibilitieS of agriculture in that north
ern region have not been considered at
all. Last March congress passed a
law whereby anybody can homestead
32O acres of land in Alaska. The queS-
tion of agriculture in some localities
is not cOniectural, for during the past
few years the L. ;. government has
had experts who have carefully in
vestigated this proposition and they
report that there is at least 100000
square miles susceptible to agriculture
From the reports of the Alaskan
commissioners, there has certainly
been many misconceptions regarding
Alaska being barren waste. The

PICTURESQUE TREES
Thirty Miles Of City Streets
Arehed Over.
PRIDE OF. WASHINGTON
THE TOTAL NUMBER IN USE IS
s3,o72.
Some Of the Specimens-The Thaddeus
Stevens Tree in Lincoln
Park.

The streets of picturesque Washington are
beautiful and shaded by S3,072 trees, en-
bracing about thirty varieties, and exclu-
sfve of those in the public parks and pri-
vate grounds. 1t is estimated that thirty
miles Of streets here are arched over COM
pletely by American elms, Norway naples
and silver naples, forming seemingly
unending series of vistas. These figures are
| from the records of the District parking
commission. of which Mr.. Trueman Ian
ham Is superin tendent, and illustrate to
some extent the vast work of that organi-
cation. The commission. to whose wisdom
so much of the beauty of Washington is
due, commenced to plant trees in the fall
of 1872. Prior to that time there had been
no organized plan of tree planting, the
work being done spaSmodically and fndif-
ferently by individuals who sought to make
attractive the localities in which they had
property interests.
The great majority of the trees thus
planted were removed from time to time by
the parking commission and replaced by
better varieties. less than one thousand of
the original growths being left. A favorite
shade tree with some of the old-tlme Wash
ingtonians the ailanthus. otherwise IA
mfliarly known as the tree OF PARADISE,
and by the Chinese called the tree OF
heaven" Many of these trees were planted
along the streets in bygone days. Soon
after the creation of the parking commits
sion numerous complaints were made to the
authorities against the ailanthuS trees. The
principal objection to them was the SICK
ening odOr they emitted while in flower,
which it was claimed made some persons
i'll. An edict was thereupon issued that
the ailanthus must go, and their destruc-
ton began. The last of the old trees was
