The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-05-29

Men who are acquainted with the
conditions of the mountains and their
surroundings, state that the springs
are likely to yield more water than
for years past, which of course means
a general increase in our mountain
streams. The conditions of the
weather has been such that the
ground not only in the valleys, but in
the mountains also, has become thor
oughly saturated and filled with
water. Within the past few years,
there has been a great shrinkage of
water in the springs and streams.
One of the causes is, undoubtedly,
that so much underbruSh has been
eaten Off that the fallen snow has had
nothing to protect it from the hot
rays of the sun, and also, unlike it
has been this year, the ground has
been frozen hard that when slight
thaw came the water would not soak
into the ground, but run off into it's
natural channels. The farmers who
irrigate their lands are to be con-
graduated upon the prospects for
water caused principally by the abund-
ance of snow. In the language of a
one-time dignitary "Utah's best crop
is crop of snow" When the country
was sparsely settled, the truth of this
statement could not be understood as
1t is to day. A light fall of snow
means great backset to Salt Lake
city alone, saying nothing about the
losses that are sustained from an
agricultural point OF view.

the COMING PAPER.

The people of Cache county want to
bear in mind that THE REPUBLICAN Is
the coming paper of northern Utah.
Asyet we have claimed little for the
publication other than it's neat
typographical appearance. The peo-
pie in judging its news and editorial
columns and general worth have been
kind. Some say it is BETTER than
either of the other papers published
here, the overwhelming majority says
that it is at least the equal Of either
of the others, and of course an occa-
sional hide-bound partisan says that it
is not as good as the Journal. What.
ever the criticism, it is fact that at
the present time, eight months and
xteen days since its first issue, THE
REPUBLICAN enjoys bona-tide circu.
lation in Cache county but slightly
less than that publication Of twenty
years standing. This, in itself, is in
dicative of the favor in which the pub.
LEGATION stands. However, we are
fully cognizant Of the fact that i'm
provements can be made along various
lines, and as it becomes possible for us
to do so, we will make the improve.
ments. The people can feel assured
that we are as alive to their interests
as our own, for the two are so closely
interviewer as to be of equal import
ance. The REPUBLICAN is here to ad.
vertise the town, county and people
and to be of The greatest advantage in
every instance where a newspaper can
be of value. In lending your support
to the proposition you not only get
value received but are investing in an
enterprise that pays back your princi-
pal and trebles your interest through
life. Since February LIST, 600 names
have been added to our subscription

The recent law passed relative to
BARRIERS in cities of the first and second
class is good as far as it goes. mas
much as all workmen in these barber
shops, whether apprentices or master
workmen must procure license, why
not have the law far reaching enough
so as to apply to all BARRIERS in the
state?In some country towns there are
just as good BARRIERS as those who work
in larger places. Further, commercial
men, also residents of the different
towns in the state, patronize the
country BARRIERS and many of these
same individuals patronize the larger
barber shops whenever an opportunity
Is afforded. AS the law now stands it
appears that the desired object is not
reached, while many of the patrons of
the shops go to all places alike.

why?

/ A recent bulletin published by the
A. c. Experiment Station, in which
r. W. Clark and John A. Crockett
furnish an article i'm reference to dairy
frauds Is of considerable interest to
all, and to those who are engaged i'm
the business of butter making, it can
not well be passed by.
1t is stated that fraud which
threatens to work great injury to
the dairy interests of the state of
Utah, has made its appearance. 1t
is churning process by which the
yield of butter can be abnormally in
creased by Incorporating large guam
tity of water and casein. A report
has reached the Station to the
effect that the promoters of this
churning process are successfully en-
listing the rights of Utah farmers
and are selling county rights at fab
ulous prices.
1t is also stated that the products of
the process churning" is undesirable.
wholly unfit for use either in the way
of eating or for cooking purposes, and
attention is also called to the law
which reads as follows:
Section 10. Butter of standard
purity shall be butter made from
milk or cream; shall be free from all
additions except salt and shall con-
tain not less than So per cent. of but

Section Is. 1t shall be. unlawful

Penalty: Any person who shall

who shall misbrand any package con-

deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be pun

In view of the law in the matter II
might be well II our dairymen and
farmers would look a "leedle oud'
before having anything to do with
men who may try to interest them in
this process. Cache county, the dairy.
field of Utah, will not escape visit
from promoters who may now be
working other territory.
AS to the people who have to ca,
butter, and want only the best, the
following test Is offered:
Take small quantity Of the su.
spected article, place in a glass tube
and heat until clear of fat Is OBJ
tanned. The water and casein will
settle to the bottom and can be ap
proximately determined. The water
and casein should not exceed one-sixtf
OF the whole volume.

The price of good horses is now
quite high. A very ordinary animal
will bring 800 and facy ones are sell
ling at soaring figures. The present
prices did not come all at once. They
have been increasing for several years
and each fall higher than the pre-
ceding spring. Last year horses were
very high and autumn Is not time
when they usually bring good prices.
1t was then seen by all, the prices
this spring would be just what they
are. Judicious farmers bought their
teams last fall. The reason for high
prices for draft horses this spring is
because of the inexhaustable demand
for them. 1t is hard to find horses
for sale in this county, and this con-
dition exists all over the country. The
present prices are expected to exist
for some time as the country seems so
depleted OF horses that it will take
several years to supply the demand
For several years the farmers did not
breed their horses much, they were
so low priced. Farmers who are wise
will not fail TO take advantage of the
horse market. Both draft and driv-
ing horses will be in great demand
Tor years to come and at good prices,
SO why not breed and reap the bene.

the IDEAL EDITOR.

Did you ever stop to think OF Just
how much you expect of the editor!
Frequently the ideal" editor Is com.
pared with the man who happens to
preside over your own local publication
but dear friends your ''ideal' editor
Is like the flower that never withers,
the bird that never alights, the land
where sunlight never fades-it only
exists in the imagination of the sucker
whom we are told the elements con-
sumo. Writing from the standpoint
of one whohas seen editorial service
on various papers over these
United States you know he is ex-
pected to publish paper chuck
full OF news whether anything
happens or not. His judicial mind
must be far superior to the district
Judge and give him pointers in in
structing the jury. He must discourse
with equal tiuency upon the silver and
trust questions, Farmer Jones' Jersey
calf, China painting, and Poland
China pigs, preserved peaches and
the perseverance of saints, foreign
wars and local strikes, justifications
by faith and justitications by type,
the doctrine of election, the election
returns, the doing of the last synod
and the details Of the prize fights.
The receipts of church socials and the
squable in the town council must be
equally familiar to the versatile mind.
With all this he must wait on the
delinquent subscribers, disco unit the
bill of the patent medicine fakes,
stand of his wash bill, always go well
dressed, pay his printer every Satur-
day night, whether cent has come
in or not; write free pufls, teach the
city administration how to run the
city; never ask for honors, but help
Others get them, boom the local
statesman who owes him three years
subscription in short be all things

In behalf of the readers OF The Re-
publican in the surrounding towns, we
thank the different correspondents
who have so nobly responded to calls
for community news. Every energetic
and pains-taking editor wants to give
all the news all the time, but unless
friends In the outlying communities
exert themselves little in the way of
sending items of interests, of course
this field must necessarily be neglect
ed, for 1t is seldom that the average
Semi-weekly publication can afford to
spend money lavishly in an effort to
secure news from outside tOwus. The
Republican desires to chronicle the
news from every village, hamlet, town
or city In Cache county, and having to
on the friendly interest of those who
will volunteer to send it to us, we are al.
ways highly pleased when the interest
Is manifested to any marked degree.
If our correspondents will please re.
member that they cannot write toe
much nor too often, we will indeed be
glad.

Be A FARMER SPECIALIST.

Now here is word to the young
man of twenty who having fair COM
mon school education and not afraid
of work, would like TO make the most
OF himself and get out of the ranks Of
the army of common plugs and shape
his life on broader and higher plane.
While there are other ways and other
openings, we will only mention one way
in which he may do that which he
desires. The feeding Of 100000, 900
people is to be the great problem in
this country before long. The young
man who makes study of how to
produce in the most economical man
ner the food needed, how to take
the earth and the COW and the hen
and the steer, the forest and the gar
den and the orchard and get the best
out of them, is bound to be a man
who will be in great demand, for he
will know something which will be Of
great value to the whole country. AS
we look at it, there is no more invit-
ing field for the young man of today
than this, and nice thing about it is
that the study Of these problems will
not only make him of practical use to
the world, but he will grow to be a
broad-gauged man as well, for no man
can study nature and her laws and be
small and narrow. Think this over,

these contains the father of the
writer. In the afternoon the old
veterans, together with the odd
Fellows. Masons and X. of Ps will
march tothe little cemetery and hold
services sublime in their nature. More
than a thousand people will assemble
at the little grove at the south and
local speakers will touch the hearts
and stir the affections. Every grave
will be ladened with flowers, the low
ing expressions of tender hearts. And
tomorrow over one of these graves
will bend little woman very dear to
us-ony step-mother-but one who
has always been as much as a mother
could be, and with saddened heart
her memory will revert and our heart
goes-But this is personal and is
not different from scenes in thous-
ands of cemeteries tomorrow.
And why is it that on this day
above all others. when the very air
seems to possess holy calm, when
millions of hearts are sorrowing; day
that wakes the passing Of the pre-

it that a greater number of millions
make of it a day of hilarious pleasure?

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found communication from W. j.
Robinson, regarding the closing OF
stores on Decoration day. In justice
to all persons confined i'm the store
rooms, employers as well as employees,
we should think that notice OF this
kind would be unnecessary. We be-
lieve IL Is the imperative duty OF all
persons in business to strictly observe
these holidays, and believe that such
days belong to employees as much as
the first day Of each week. Every
store should be closed up on holidays
Just as tight as on Sundays. Let the
customers prepare ahead for this day
as they do for Sunday: let the business
men with their families get of for a
whole day and have rest, II the
merchants act in concert in these
matters none will lose trade. and the
clerks and all concerned will feel bet

will be new energy infused into the
work, and all in all nothing will be
lost and much gained.

DECORATION DAY.

Tomorrow Is Decoration Day, and
to the many who lost sons, hus-
bands, fathers, brothers and sweet
hearts in the great struggle between
the North and South, the day will
hold hallowed charm. Tomorrow
all over this grand country Of ours,
blue coated veterans, bowed down
under weight of years, faces wrinkled,
hair grey, the result of suffering, will
wend their way to the different
cemeteries where their comrades lie,
and though battle-scarred and scared
by life's trials, will shed many a tear.
And with them will go the faithful
wife, the loving mother, son and
daughter, and the never-changing
sweetheart who will seek some grave
and there let pcnt up anguish diffuse
itself In flowers and tears. Here in
the quiet peacefulness and hallowed
calm, memory and affection will
bridge the distance and heart will
speak to heart.
Nor will the observance Of Decora.

who are left, and the wives, sons and
daughters of those who have gone be.
fore. Although the day was set apart
primarily for the remembrance OF
those heroes who at one time or an.
other served the stars and stripes
the beautif III custom of strewing
flowers has become so universal and
the Decoration day sentiment so per.
feet In It's entirety that seldom Is any
grave neglected. And how very com.
mendable this is. The placing OF a
boquet of flowers, a wreath or flag up.
on the grave means little or nothing
except in the sentiment expressed and
that this sentiment is kept alive and
continues to grow with increasing
years augurs well for other sentiments
sublime In their nature, tending to
lift the mind from sordid and earthly
affairs to the ethereal.
We call TO mind at this time little
cemetery, two miles from small
town in Indiana, and though not
having seen that graveyard during
the past seven or eight years, we know
what will happen there tomorrow, we
know what has been done there to-
day, The the people in that town would
not rank as scholars; few of them have

and possibly few would serve as
models for fashions, yet their feelings
are true, deep and strong. That lit

In strolling about the streets we are
often amused to see people colliding
with each other just because they
don't know which way to turn out.
This reminds us Of a rule laid down
to us several years ago by an old man
whom we greatly admire. "When
you meet man." he went on to say,
always turn to the right and you
won't run into anybody but d
fool and it won't be necessary to
apologize to him.
