1t is known fact that President
Roosevelt has ever been a friend TO
the irrigation project. He recon.
mended it In his message to congress
and used every personal endeavor to
secure favorable legislation along this
line. President Roosevelt has been
all over this country and knows ex-
actly the great benefit of irrigation.
He is one Of very few eastern men
who favor spending money in the
west. Candidate Parker has never
been west and doesn't know what an
irrigation ditch is. He is also one OF
the Wall street combination that be-
lieves in legislation for the east only.
The voters should take the things
into consideration when it comes to
voting on Nov. sth.

1t comes from Salt Lake City that
Porter, the democratic candidate for
state superintendent of public in
struction, is being supported by many
republicans because IL is felt that in
case Of election he would do every
thing possible to further the cause of
the State University, even at the ex-
pense Of the Agricultural College. 1t
is asserted by Salt Lake people that
Mr. A. c. Nelson, the republican can.
didate, has been too friendly to the
big institution in Logan and they pro.
pose to elect man who will use his
influence in favor of the State Univer.
sity. This is most reprehensible, and
if it can be shown to be fact should
cause the friends of the Agricultural
College, regardless Of party affiliations
to stand pat on the election of Mr.
Nelson. That gentleman has shown
disposition to be absolutely fair with
the two big state institutions and for
that reason many Salt Lake fanatics
are arrayed against him. They do not
want fairness and justice in this mat.
ter: they want the State University
to have everything it wants. and the
A. G. of U. to have what is left. THE
REPUBLICAN does not plead for Mr..
Nelson on non-partisan grounds, but
il true, as reported, that Salt Lakes
seltishness is being used to his disad-
vantage then the friends of the A. c.
Of u, democrats and republicans,
should rally to his support. The
growth OF the A. @. Of U.meaps every
thing for the advancement of educa-
tion in this state and it also means
much to Cache Valley and Northern
Utah. The progress Of this institu.
ton should be hailed with delight BY
the University rather then with low
cred brows, and vice versa, but Meth
er should be permitted to progress a,
the expense OF the other. Give u.
justice and that's all we ask. Mr.
Nelson has been fair with us, and no,
unfair to the University. Let's elect
him. He is an exemplary man, pro
ficient in every respect, and so worthy
in the eyes of Prof. l. N. Smith, of Tn,
New Jersey Academy this city, that
he withdrew from the American party
ticket in his favor

Judge Hart are ridiculous'y silly.
The Judge is a genial, high-minded,
whole-souled gentleman with char
acter beyond reproach and we have
never intimated different We would
say this, though, that If Judge Hart
has not contributed $500, and is not
willing to contribute 81 900 If it seems
necessary, then he is an migrate and
does not deserve the support OF that
party which has already given him
$50, 900 and from which he now asks
$4,000 more. But gentlemen don't
make the Judge out ''non-partisan'
and seek votes for him on that sore.

buted 800 to the democratic cam

The REPUBLICAN has not said and
can not now say that the rumOr is the
truth, but until Judge Hart denies it,
we can not say that it is a lie.
But why, pray, should the publica.
Uion Of this rumOr so excite our es.
teemed contempt rary? Judge Hart
has occupied the bench nine years.
In that time he has been paid not less
than 100000 in salary. This splendid

democrat, because that party has con.
tinued to elect him to Office. The
Judge Is now trying for the third

The recent meeting in this city OF
the State Federation Of Women's
Clubs brought to light a smooth game
the enemies Of the A. G. OF y. are
playing in Salt Lake City. At various
times, as the women were being shown
through the big school on the hill, the
inquiry was made Of different profes.
sors acting as guides as to whether
they were Mormons. AS there are a
few Gentiles in the faculty the an.
swer came mo" in some instances and
the women were astounded. "Why,
how is that" said one, 1--WE people
down there are led TO believe that this
is strictly Mormon school," Further
conversation brought out that among
the GentileS in Salt Lake City the
covert enemies of this institution cir.
culate the story that this is Mormon
school, and the Mormons who pay
little attention to the matter are
made to believe that the Gentlles are
running things in the school. Rather
smooth game, isn't it? The Tribune
which has been and still is an enemy
of the school knows better than this
but refuses to set the matter before
the people in the proper light. The
people OF northern Utah should under,
stand that everything possible TO in.
jure the A. c. of U. is being done at
every opportunity. The Salt Lakers
are now trying to elect Porter because
Nelson has been fair to us. Porter is
a professor in the University, and It's
said that he will not even resign from
his Office in case of election, though
the SUPPLEMENTARY pay $1,000 a year.

To the Farmers.

Cache county is Inhabited chiefly by

ing its chief industry. What has the

In just what category Of human dis

erS are either ignoramuses or fools,
or is it possible that dear old Gordon's
love for his party of other days has
led him TO assist it in the very adrOit
way of asking questions easily answer

know would be taken up by republi-
can newspapers and used to the great
est advantage. We believe this is the
most charitable view to take of the
matter, and we recommend 1.-THE
Only's" editor to the republican
county committee for contribution.
What has the republican party done
for the farmer? What has it not
done, what is it not now trying TO do?
The republican party has furnished
the farmer market for his produce,
and that is what the farmer wants,
what he must have if he proSperS.
When were the farmers more prosper
Gus, ever more respected than they
are today? BY protective tariff the
woTkingmen Of this country have
oeen protected from the influx of
cheap foreign goods, thus manufaClOr-
les have sprung up workmen are en-
ployed and they are paid good wages.
The wOrkmen employed and drawing
good wages demand good food and
plenty of it, and they are willing and
have money TO pay for it, In this way
the farmer can market everything he
raises and at price that is profitable
TO him and not Injurious to the
laborer.
What has the republican party done
for the farmer? 1t has made him
rich, happy contented; it has enabled
him to lift mortgages and place money
in savings banks; it has established
agricultural colleges lsuch as cur own
all over this country and enabled
him to send his sons and daughters
there; il has established sugar factor
les such as our own and given the
farmers prosperity they never knew
before; it has raised the price of cat

To Our Friends

For the benefit Of our friends who
may occasionally think that we are
rather hard on some of those who diff
fer with us politically, we have this to
say. Ever since the division on party
lines, up to few years ago, this coun-
ty was considered one Of the strongest
democratic counties in the state.
Election after election republicans
have allowed their names to be placed
on the ticket with full knowledge
that they would be defeated. With
undaunted courage the little band OF
republicans continued their ardent
work making few converts at each
election, until two years ago, when
conditions were considered normal
with both parties, it proved TO a Ger.
tainty that the republicans were in
the majority. After so many years OF
unceasing labor they found their eff.
forts had been crowned with success.
On the other hand the democrats were
naturally respondent. They found that
their firm hold on the people had been
broken. Through this they have Civ.
en- way TO epthets through their or.
gan which have been anything but
complimentary. Men have been called
TRAITORS, Judas lScariotS," and Sc.
verely maligned by them simply be-
cause men deemed it best for them
selves to change their politics. The
editor in chief Of the democratic Or
gan, once a republican now a demo-
crat, is the author of these yitupera.
tions that have been heaped upon the
heads OF men who were conscientious
in the change Of their political views.
Each succeeding year has proven a
Vlndication of their change, yet this
same organ and this same editor con-
tinues TO malign republicanism and
republicans.
As far as this paper is concerned it
ishere to defend republican principles,
first, last and all the time, and would
much rather do this from a high
plane and with that dignity that
should accompany all newspapers
which are supposed TO be published
for the enlightenment of the people.
But when in combat our opponent at
attacks us with bare knuckles we GER
tainlY shall not take the precaution
OF placing gloves on before we tackle
him. During campaign times,

Senator Tomasi Alaskan Islands
Kearns has been in Chicago recently.

royal highness from Tipperary was
worth talking TO, Chicago Tribune

state for Roosevelt. Ye shades of the

Democrats are still anxious TO ex-
change Parker votes for those of the
county commissioners. We again urge
republicans to exchange nothing. 1t
is evident that the dems would rather
lose every other man on the ticket
than the commissioner, and have so
expressed themselves. The dems know
Parker cannot be elected, therefore IN
trading him they get something for
nothing. 1t would be poor deal for
a republican to give even a constable
for such vote, and on the other hand
Roosevelt does not need the votes in
this way. Republicans, stand by the
strc light ticket.

Salt Lake Clty, OCTOBER -, loO4.
Fred Turner, Esq, Logan, Utah.
Dear Sir:--1 am in receipt of your
letter Of the 23rd inst. in which you
say that statements are being circula-
ted charging Mr.. Jos. G. Knowles with
Incorporating certain funds appro-
priated by the legislature for the i'm
proyement Of highways and bridges in
Cache county, and requesting that !
furnish you any information / may
have in this Office, regarding the ex-
penditure of these funds.
The 4th legislature made the follow
ing appropriations for the improve
ment of highways and bridges in
Cache county, to be expended under
the supervision of person to be
name by the governor:

Mr.. Jos. G.. Knowles was appointed
by Governor Wells as supervisor tC
expend the above appropriations, anC
blank certificates were furnished hin
upon which 10 prepare the claims Of
the various persons performing labor
or furnishing material. These blanks
require TO be shown the number Of
days labor performed; the per diem
paid; on what road performed, and in
addition to the afiidavit of the super
visor that the labor has been done by
the person named therein, the claim
ant is required to make an affidavit
before notary public that he has per
formed the number of days work
shown in the certificate. These Ger
titicates are then presented to the
state auditor for payment.
We have on file i'm this office certiti
Gates properly prepared and sworn tC
for every dollar drawn against the
above appropriations by Supervisor
Knowles, and all state warrants drawn
by me to cover these certificates were
delivered to the claimants personally
or upon their written order, and ouI
warrant register bears the signature
of every individual claimant or the
person presenting written authority
from them for the delivery Of the
warrants, except in cases where the
certificates have been assigned by the
claimants to other parties, and in such
cases we have the receipt of the as.
signee or the person presenting his
order.
After close investigation of all Ger.
titicaJes drawn by Mr.. Knowles | can
state positively that they are all prop,
erly prepared and sworn to, and were
carefully audited by me before pay
ment, and state warrants covering
them delivered as above stated, and
there is nothing connected with the
expenditure of these funds, so far as
the records or files of this office show
that would indicate the wrongful use
or misappropriation of a dollar of the
funds expended by him.

Henry Ayila's Promotion.

The Sentinel is always pleased to
note the success of any man, young or
old, especially so if Yuma has been his
starting point in life. 1t is therefore
with genuine pleasure that we chroni-
Gle the advancement of Henry Ayila,
who has recently accepted RESPONSE
bic position with the Union Pacific
railroad company at San Francisco.
For years Mr. Avila has been in the
employ of the Southern Pacific at
Fresno, and on the eve of his departure
to take up the duties of his new posi-
ton he was given a magnificent testi-
monial of the esteem in which he is
held by the business men of that city,
in the way of a farewell reception, and
in addition was presented with beau
tiful set of solid silver cutlery, en-
graved with his name and set in a
handsome, satin-lined case.
Mr.. Avila began his railroad career
in Yuma and has won success by his
splendid ability. combined with most
pleasing personality, urbane and cOur-
teous manners. His many Yuma friends
will be pleased to congratulate him
upon his well earned success.

A Big MOrtga &c.

y mortgage involving the largest
money transaction in the history of the
recorders Office at Phoenix was filed
this week. It was the mortgage of the
Southern Pacific railroad company for
S22.3l5, 900, and Il supplemental mort
gage of 81, 715. 900. The first mortgage
was made number of years ago, the
stockholders having voted to mortgage
the road for a sum not TO exceed $30,-
100000. For this sum bonds were is
sued and sold to the amount of S22,-
3l5,000, secured by the mortgage on
the road. Last year it was decided to
issue more of the bonds authorized, so
a mortgage was made on the equip
ment of the road-the engines, cars,
passenger coaches, etc, all of value
of $7,2l9,S $40. The mortgage is filed in
all the counties through which the road
passes. The first mortgage was made
when the internal revenue regulations
of the Spanish-American war were in
effect, and the instrument required ST.

Railroad Rumors,

\ special dispatch to the Globe-Dem-
ocrat from Austin says: The present
visit to President B. F. Yoakum, of
the Frisco to California and the south
west, is of more significance than is at
tached to an ordinary trip. There is
an accumulation of evidence which
tends to show that the Rock Island
Frisco interests are about to come into
possession of the Ell Paso and South
western railroad. The latter connects
with the Rock Island at Ell PasO. 1t
runs from FL Paso west to Bisbee.
Arizona, and has number of import
AIT branches running TO the principal
mining camps of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, 1t is the only railroad on
the continent that crosses the divide
on grade of less than per cent. This
fact alone makes it a remarkable piece
of property, and a most desirable link
in proposed continental line.
1t is known that Phelps, Dodge &
Co., who built and own the road. con-
template the construction of important
extensions of the main line and some of
its branches if the road is not in the

MiIlionaire's Poor Stomach.

The WORKOUT stomach Of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as horrible example Of
the evils attendant on the possession OF
great wealth. But millionaireS are
not the only ones who are afflicted with
bad stomachs. The proportion is far
greater among the toilers. Dyspepsia
and indigestion are rampant among
these people, and they suffer far worse
fortunes than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of q standard
medicine like Green's August Flower.
which has been a favorite household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-five years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect digestion.

The First SIS Bill.

The first Sd greenback issued by our
government was in 1852, and ever since
1864 it has been the heirloom of a
prominent family. Its age has in
creased its value greatly. This is also
true in regard to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t was introduced fifty years
ago. and because it positively cures
stomach, liver and bowel disorders it
is valued more highly than any other
remedy. Those who have once tried it
always keep a bottle on hand to cure
dyspepsia, nausea. indigestion. diZzi-
ness, heartburn, insomnia, chillS, colds
or malaria. Sickly women, too, realize
its wonderful value as health maker
and regulator. Be sure to try it. Your
druggist will supply you with the gen
nine, also give you a copy of our 1904
illustrated almanac. Ask for it before
the supply is exhausted.
