watch three large Newfoundland dogs

the beast on duty at once starts on a
brisk trot, which makes the wheel
turn around rapidly. and by means OF
crank and lever the power is con-

The dogs work willingly and with
such intelligence that people are never
weary of watching the efforts OF the
animals to keep the smiths fires
bright. Each dog works In the wheel

They cost their owner about two dol

Word comes from several parts OF
the county that the prospects for
crops are not as good as they might
be. In several places the lucern has
been killed, the fall grain is very thin
and the general indications are that
there will be light grain crops. Many
farmers who changed from raising
beets to putting in grain may have
missed It. Farmers If your grain
looks thin, turn it under and plant
beets. True, there may be some hard
work attached to 1t, but your boys and
girls can help you out on these lines,
while in wheat raising they can dc
nothing practically. Beets can be
planted for two or three weeks yet
with perfect safety.

TO UNITE RAILROADS
PROPOSED TRUNK LINE is A Gl.
GANTIC TASK.

fdent Their Reward viii Be Com.
mensurate. %

About 5O,O00,00O people live in
and 85,000.000 of them live in South
America. II the estimates made by
the Intercontinental Railroad COM
mission in 1899 are correct, 1t will
cost $3.50 for every person in the.
United States and the Latin republics
to build and equip the proposed
trunk line connecting our railroad
system with roads already built or be-
ing built from the chief ports of Chile
and Peru on the west and Buenos
Ayres on the east.
Mexico's railroad system has not
yet been extended north and south be-
yond the city of OaSaca, which Is
several hundred miles north of the
Guatemalan boundary. The Intercon-
tinental railroad will utilize existing
roads as far as possible between New
York city and Buenos Ayres.
The total length of the allrail route
from New York to the capital of Ar.
gentina will be 10,22S miles. OF this
mileage the part yet to be constructed
extends between Oaxaca, Mexico, and
Jujuy, Argentina, a distance of 5,456
miles. This is merely the trunk line,
as 1t does not include the branch
lines which, 1t is hoped, some day to
construct eastward to existing rail
roads running to Caracas, Rio de
Janeiro and Santos and to Asuncion
and Montevideo.
The Latin republics have not thus
far contributed very much to the pre-
liminary expenses. The three survey
parties which performed the enormous
work of tracing route for the rail-
road through the mountain wilds OF
Central and South America carried
out their mission at a cost of 28S,000,
Of which $245.000 was contributed by
the United States.
The small remainder was supplied
by the South American republics in
terested, excepting Argentina, which
declined to contribute to the expense
of the preliminary survey, but prom
Used to connect her railroad system
with the proposed trunk line at her
northern frontier. This means that
she will extend her railroad between
Buenos Ayres and Jujuy to the border
of Bolivia.
No doubt seems to be felt in finan.
cial and commercial circles that this
great enterprise would be large fac
tor in developing for their mutual
benefit the vast potentialties Of the
Americas. The project has the APP
proval of all the governments con-
cerned, and it was Endorsed by the
two Pan-American congresses. the
second of which appointed perma-
nent committee, with headquarters in
Washington, to look after the inter
ests of the enterprise there. Charles
NJ. Pepper, who is going to confer
with the governments of the South
American republics in regard to car
rying out the plans for the railroad
will therefore start on his mission un.
der favorable conditions, and is conf
dent of success.

Islands Built by Oysters.

DIR. Grave Of the United States fish
commission has recently been study
ing the islands found in Newport
river and Beaufort harbor in North
Carolina. The islands, which are In
various stages of growth, are shown
to be built up Of generations upon
generations Of oysters. and appear to
grow in very much the same way as
the coral islands Of the Pacific. The
original reefs grow across the river,
because the swift current keeps the
edges clean. and thus makes favor
able surface for the attachment of
the young spat In course Of time, by
action Of wind, waves and vegetable
growth on the accommodating genera
tons OF oysters, the reef eventually
becomes established as an island,

Some of the residents i'm Richmond
think there will be a lively municipal
election there this fall. The issue
that the lines will be drawn upon, as
we are informed will, be saloons or no
saloons. This is matter that has
caused a great deal of agitation in
elections in other places, and is well
worth great deal OF wise judgment
before acting. If possible, get profit
by the experiences of other cities, and
adopt such methods that will hold in
proper check all matters of this kind.
From time to time affairs arise that
are complex in their nature, and by
pursuing line that is thought to be
for the best, somtimes results to the
opposite. Investigate thoroughly and
then adopt such methods as will sub
serve the best interests of the people.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-05-05

The Logan merchants have reason
TO feel proud over the showing made
through commercial agencies. Their
agents state that Logan stands the sec
ond best city west of the Missouri river
financially, and further that seventy
five per cent of the merchants of the
county discount their bills. This
should be gratifying indeed to every
resident of the county. Comparing
the present financial status with that
that of a few years ago, when the
credit system ran rampant, there is
indeed marked change for the bet
ter 1t is needless to state that cur
failing the credit business by our
merchants has brought about these
results. The people as well as the
merchants are to be commended for
the good name that the county now
has in business circles. If all that
are doing business will remember "to
pay as you CO." Cache county will
never retograde from her present
standing.

II Is learned from some OF the i'm
plement dealers that the farmers are
exhibiting a little more care in pur-
chasing implements this spring than
heretofore. This is as it should be,
for many farmers are easily persuaded
to make purchases at times when there
is no benefit ACQUIRING to them in so
doing. As stated before i'm these
columns, farmers should pay as they
go If possible. If however, farmer
Is compelled to go in debt, IL should
be clearly seen to that it is for some
thing that is absolutely needed and a
thing out of which he can make
money. Never sign notes with ex-
orbitant interest for goods that are
not needed. In this we believe we
voice the sentiments of the implement
dealers, for they would rather dc
more of cash business then to dc
this unlimited credit business, which
of itself compels agents to be con
stantly on the road rounding up past
due notes, which is not only expen
sive, but unpleasant in all its phases.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-05-05

If Logan expects to maintain her
present position as an educational
city, and to meet the growing emer-
gencies, more tenement houses must
be built. This matter is worthy Of
consideration by men Of means. There
is no getting away from this PROPOSE
tion the way we view it. Our colleges
spend great deal of money annually
in advertising, in showing up the adj
vantages Of this city as an educational
center. We would ask this question,
what are students and their parents
to do when they are brought here
through this advertising Of the col
leges and no houses are to be found?
The only thing for them to do is to
return home, or 60 to other colleges.
Thus the labor and energies of the
home colleges are ncutralized by the
present status of things in this city.
Men of means should wake up to the
situation, build houses, invite students
here, and the city will be repaid
handsomely for the investment. Be-
sides students, many people are NOV
inc here

fluences may work In our favor to
multiply and bless our efforts on every
hand. When burdened down with
worldly cares to an excess, many peo-
pie become morose and cold in their
feelings, and their expressions are
typical of their inward feelings, cold
as hailstones that fall upon the ver-
dure of the summer time to blight
and destroy it. II the hail was melted
into soft warm rain drops, nurture
would be impaired and bestowed. In
social life little words and acts of
kindness will never be forgotten; on
the other hand harsh and cruel words
tear and wound the heart, for in this
world like begets like. If all would
reflect and act upon this principle
many would be better than they are.
1t requires a constant watchfulness on
our part to see that no hard words
pass our lips. Wherein we have in
dulged in this in days gone by, let
there be marked change in our lives
and see whether or not within our
own hearts we will not feel paid for
the exertion put forth in this regard,
saying nothing--of that good we will
have done to the downcast and weary
traveller through life's journey. There
are some things woIth living for, and
one is In trying to make Others happy.
In fact, this is the only way that
pure, unadulterated happiness can be
secured. Therefore we say, exhibit
traits of Kindness through life, re-
Numbering the words of holy writ
that "kind words turn away wrath.
