The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-10-22

We predicted weeks ago that upon
the approach Of election the Iepubli-
cans would be a unit. How is
it today? The republicans are
shoulder to shoulder, having but
one thing in view, viz: the cleo
tion of the republican ticket from top
to bottom. How is it with the dems
in this county? We hear low MUIR
murings, which indicate that all is
not peace and quiet with them.
From an impartial standpoint, every
thing points to splendid victory for
the republicans, nationally, in the
state and in the county. Not one
man is excepted. We can say in truth
to all the voters of this county that
all fractional strife in the republican
party has been buried and the forces
will move forward on the Sth day of
November TO Il splendid victory.

1t does not look well for you to be

There is no good reason why the
candidates on the republican county
ticket should not be elected and there
are many good reasons why they
should. In the matter Of general
merit, the candidates compare favor
ably with the democratic candidates
and have the additional advantage of
being of that party which has been
most instrumental in bringing pros
perity to this whole country. BY sup
porting the republican candidates on
the county ticket you not only sup
port good men but you give strength
to the county organization, which is a
portion of state and national organi-
cations. 1t is only by success in county
affairs that the republican party or
any other party can hope to be sue
cessful in national affairs. Consider
these facts and the additional one
that while the democrats were in
power in this county, they abused
their trusts.

Prof W. M Hays of Minnesota, just Appointed Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture u

1t is a matter of congratulation to
the farming interests of the country
that President Roosevelt named W. NJ.
Hays of Minnesota as assistant secre-
tary of the United States department
of agriculture, announced in the
State Journals dispatches on Monday.
Prof. Hays is not a stranger to Kan
sas. His lecture before the state board
of agriculture year ago was one of
the great features of that meeting. His
work in scientific agriculture has done
more to develop profits in farming than
that of almost any other man.
No one else probably knows as much
about the science of plant breeding as
Prof. Hays. He is one of the pioneers
in that line of work. He has been at
work on wheat alone for fifteen years,
and more recently has taken UP other
crops. Plant breeding, however is only
a small part of the work he has done in
the Minnesota College of Agriculture
at st. Anthony's Park, MINI. His work
along the line of farm management, the
rotation of crops, rural education and
kindred topics has brought about great
results and it has only begun.
In his new field Prof. Hays will have
the scope of his operations greatly
widened. but he is the kind of man who
can fill a wide field. He is built on a
broad-gauged plan mentally, and his
work, experimenting that of Secretary
Wilson, ought to be of tremendous
value to the farming interests of the
United States.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
New Western Association Is Evidently
Growing More Popular.

The following from the Kansas City
Journal, tells something of the grow
ing popularity of the Western associa-
ton at the present time through this
territory:
Six different people are now after
President Shively for a Wichita fran
chise. Wichita evidently looks good
to baseball investors, and the feeling
at that place is heartily in favor of
admission to the association circuit. 1t
is not altogether impossible that the
city may be given q franchise. al
present circuit city would be dropped
out to make the vacancy. President
Shtvely Paid flying visit to Leaven-
worth yesterday afternoon and was
not satisfied with the conditions there.
1t seems that the stockholders are dis
agreed on the advisa bility of retain
ing the franchise. Before he left last
night President Shively said that If the
terially improved upon his return
from Oklahoma, there might be a.
change. Thus Wichita may! hope to
gain admission to the association
either through the falling through of
the Guthrie deal or else the abandon
ment of the Leavenworth franchise.
Ted Sullivan, the old time baseball
player, the author of a book of
humorous stories of the diamond,
agent of the National league in the
selection of promising young players,
and probably one of the most widely
known of the old time ball players, is
a bidder for the Wichita franchise.
Sullivan wrote President Shively a day
or two ago, asking for the franchise
at Wichita. He said the investment
looked good to him; that he had been
watching the progress of the league,
and thought he could make a success
of a team at Wichita by getting to-
gether fast bunch of young players
and furnishing the Wichita fans with
eighteen karat baseball all through
the season. He said the management
of the team would not conflict with
his duties as agent of the National
league, and closed with a plea for an
early response, informing him as to
the prospects. Sullivan said he was
willing to close the deal at once.
w. J. Kimmel and Ted Price, both
of Enid, o. T., also want the Wichita
franchise. Kimmel says that Walter
Frantz, now a member of the pitching
staff of Arthur TWINS Blooz, would
be associated with him if he should
get the franchise. Frantz is under re-
serve with the BlooZ, but he figures
that he could get his release without
much trouble.
Other bidders for the franchise are
Speck Hurlburt, who last season
played the outfield for the Topeka
team; man from Fort Smith, Ark,
and Topeka party. President
Shively will stop at Wichita on his way
back from Guthrie, and final arrange
ments will be made in the near future.

DAMAGES SANTA FE BRIDGE.
Has Practically Ruined a
Big bridge at Snn Francisco.

SanFrancisco Dec. 15.-The recent series
of earthquakes experienced in this city
have caused a big crack in the pier of the
Santa Fe bridge, now being constructed at
the foot of Third street. The damage was
discovered today and scrutinized by the
city engineer. He found assure in the
concrete which extended below the water
line of the channel which the bridge is to
span. 1t was three inches wide and six
feet long. If the crack extends below the
mud line it will be necessary to rebuild
at great cost. A telegram was sent to the
chief engineer OF the railway company in
the east and consultation between him,
the city engineer and the bridge engineer
will be held.
1t was expected that the structure
would be completed early next spring, but
the damage sustained may necessitate an
indefinite postponement of the operations.

To Suppress Free Transporter
tiOn to Heavy Shippers.
Officials of Western
Roads Make an Agreement.
PLAN is FORMULATED.
Committees In Large Cities Will
Make Up Pass Lists.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Executive officers of western railroads
met in Chicago yesterday and took
steps to prevent the issuance of passes
during 1905 to influence traffic. A re-
port that the interstate commerce com
mission proposed to make an investiga-
ton as to the giving of railway passes
to persons controlling the routing of
traffic of big corporations reached some
of the higher officials of western rail-
roads. Although the interstate COM
merce law prohibits the giving of free
transportation or reduced passenger
rates to influence traffic, it is said that
every railroad in the country has given
annual passes to persons controlling big
freight shipments.
The interstate commerce commission
has power to compel the railroads to
produce their books showing to whom
free passes are issued. To avoid I'M
pleasant consequence from an order TO
that effect by the commission, the ex
ecutive officers of the western roads
yesterday decided to restrict the issu-
ing the railroads at the principal COM
mercial centerS. These committees will
represent Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha,
Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, Little
committees are to be selected by the
terminal lines in each city and shall
have not more than three members
Only persons recommended by the COM
nnittees shall be given passes by the
railroads. 1t will be the duty of such
committee to keep off its list persons
who have been getting free transporta-
ton because of their ability to influence
the routing of freight traffic.
The interstate commerce commission
has repeatedly declared that the issu-
ance of free transportation to influence
freight traffic is equivalent in major
ity of cases to paying rebates. The
complimentary" pass list of most of
the big western systems includes the
names of hundreds of persons who are
the leading officers OF big corporations
with heavy freight traffic, the traffic
managers of industrial and commercial
concerns, and the heads of organizations
which hold annual reunions which are
attended by a large number of mem
berS.

Major Anderson Reviews the
Situation in Topeka.

A chance visitor at the meeting of the
Commercial club on Wednesday night
would have thought that natural gas
has just been located in Topeka, from
the whirlwind of enthusiasm which
possessed the members.
The result was that a regular stand
ing committee of eleven was ordered
appointed to at once look over the sit
uation and suggest the most feasible
schemes by which oil and gas can be
piped to this city from the Kansas
fields. Every effort will be exhausted
to interest private capital, and if that
fails the question of having the city
vote bonds and make the line one of
municipal ownership, will be agitated.
A bonus of $4,000 was hung up for the
first company or individual who brings
in a paying gas or oil we'll within a
radius of ten miles about Topeka. The
offer is good for one year.
The plan of County Commissioner
Sterne to have Shawnee county sink a
endorsement and the club as a body
and individually offer the commission
ers their hearty support.
G. K. Holiday, councilman from the
Second ward, and part owner of the
Topeka Gas company, stated that A. N.
Brady of New York, the biggest stock
holder in his company, is interesting
himself in the situation in Topeka, and
Is very Wiling TO ala CnlS city all ne
can in bringing natural gas here. "Mr.
Brady says that he will lay a new and
separate system of pipes" said Mr..
Holiday. He is perfectly willing to
help all that he possibly can. With his
associates he is studying the matter
very carefully. Within a few days,
probably on Friday or Saturday, shall
leave again for New York to see Mr..
Brady, and perhaps I can bring back
some very good news"
E. s. Montgomery who offered the
resolution which promises a bonus of
81, 600 for the first finder of oil or gas
in Shawnee county is interested in a
company sinking a well near Tecum-
sch. Il think that within six weeks
said Mr.. Montgomery, 81 shall have the
pleasure of inviting you gentlemen to
see an oil we'll shot in Shawnee county"
C. K. Holiday put his ante into the
same game. Gentlemen he said, 1--WE
are digging between Vinewood and Te-
cumseh and I think that within a short
time we will also have the pleasure of
inviting you to see US do some shoot
ing"
If the county commissioners find gas
first, in their proposed we'll on the
poor farm, they will get in on the s., 900
bonus. That was agreed upon.
President Mills will appoint the COM
mittee within the next few days. Eleven
of the strongest and most influential
business men in the city will be made
its members.
The gas discussion was resultant to
a paper read by T. J. Anderson on the
subject. He also read a letter from H.
]. Adams of Leroy on a proposition to
pipe oil here.

Why We Want Gas.

Major Anderson SAID:
Topeka is a prosperous city as the
world goes. The location is all that
could be desired, and the climate
healthy
Our own Washburn is fast growing
into an ideal college; our system of
public schools is not surpassed by any
city of 10000 population in America,
and our educational facilities generally
are all that could be desired. Topeka
is a city of fine church edifices and up
to date school buildings. We have
many miles of paved streets, and a
sewerage system covering all of the
BUSINESS and two-thirds of the residence
area.
Our transportation facilities are of
the best, having four lines of trunk
railways and a number of branch lines.
The electric railway system is fast ap-
preaching completion and affords quick
transit between the business and resi-
dence part of the city.
Topeka is a jobbing center of no
small proportions. We have a number
of manufacturing industries and they
are all, I believe without an exception,
doing well.
Topeka enjoys all the benefits Incl
dent to being the capital of a great
state, besides located in the center of a
thriving and prosperous agricultural
community.
and carry as heavy stocks as in many
cities of much larger population, and
our hotel and boarding house facilities
are unsurpassed. In short, we have
practically everything that goes to
make happy and prosperous commun-
ity, except good weather on festival
occasions. But in all sincerity, have we
not about reached the limit in popula-
tion2 Our growth from 1890 to 1900 was
not marked, and while we have been
doing better during the last four years,
it will take something more than the
state capital and the headquarters and
