WARRANTS ISSUED FOR THEIR ARREST
Boxers" AIIese That the Two Men
Have illegally Registered-can
Not Be Found.

Every political trick known is being
brought into play by the opposing fac
tions of the republican party of Walla
Walla county in an endeavor to obtain
control of the county convention to be
held next Saturday. The Boxer" fac
ton sprang a decided sensation last
night by openly charging that the
Holy Rollers" were resorting to il
legal registration of non-voters and
in proof of their claims had warrants
issued for the arrest of j. A. Bullock
and H. ]. McCurdy.
Bullock, who it is alleged, is a tran
sient,. registered from the Iowa house
at IS North Second street. When Of
ficers with a warrant went to the hotel
it is said that he had disappeared and
no trace of him could be found. It is
asserted by Boxer" leaders that Bull
lock first took up his residence at the
Iowa house March 2, and consequently
was not entitled to register.
In the case of McCurdy it is claimed
that his name appeared on the regis
ter of the Delmonico lodging house,
which place he gave as his residence
only last Wednesday and a careful in
vestigation failed to establish his right
to register for the coming election It
is also said that he has disappeared.
Leaders of the holy Roller faction
scoffed at the cry of illegal registration

er. Before the founding of Logan,
Wellsville or Maughan's Fort had
been regarded as the capital of Cache
county, but in 1859, after the reorgan-
ization of the county, Logans central
location and manifest advantages in
every way, caused it TO be selected as
the county seat.
The early history of Cache County
is replete with stirring events, incd.
ent to pioneer life. Indian troubles
necessitaed military companies, and
though actual battle was seldom, if
ever, engaged in. there was consider
able military activity and alert watch
fulncss and preparation for dreaded
treachery. Bear Hunter is a name
familiar to all the older citizens of
the county.
From the year 1860 comparatively
rapid progress was made. Smithiield,
Paradise, Providence, Millville, Hyde
Park, Mendon and Richmond were
settled and as the fame of Cache Val
ley's farming lands, abundance of
water and other extraordinary natur-
al endowments became known, the in
flux into this country caused it to
grow rapidly in numbers.
Necessity, the mother of many great
things, brought grist mills. These
were established at Logan, Wellsville,
Millville, Smithfield and Richmond,
and other places in the county.
Canals were dug-tirst the Logan
and Hyde Park, and soon others fol-
lowed. The spirit of progress was in
the air, money was plentiful and the
people worked for the glorious future
they could see as the country devcl.
oped.
Lumber mills at Hyrum did -four
ishing business in the early days, and
a carding mill in Logan, though not
large, was one of the early industries
of the county.

A Brief Sketch Of
AS Basis for Discussion
A

The past of Cache Valley does not
extend over so many years that IL is
not known to many of those now liv-
ing within it's confines. From the
time that Peter Vaughan, with VIM.
Vaughan, George Bryan, John TAFT,
Morgan Morgan and Zial Riggs set
stakes at the present site Of Wells
vile, but fifty seven years have
elapsed. Considering the difficulties
encountered by the early settlers, the
transformation of this valley from a
wild grazing country to an expanse Of
untold wealth, populous cities and
happy homes has been most remark
able. Where sage brush, wild grass,
Indians and rattlers tlourished, fac
tories, mills, creameres, houses of
worship, magnificent school buildings,
banks and splendid business houses,
now stand, and there Hourishes a
twentieth century civilization that is
most gratifying. A past of sixty
years in which such wonderful devel-
opment has been made can not but be
a glorious one and the history of the
next two hundred years, will not be
written in more glowing colors.
Peter Vaughan and his band of fol-
lowers were men of courage, charac-
ter, perseverance and indomitable
will. These magnificent qualities COM
bined with excellence of judgment
paved the way for the splendid advan-
tages which the Cache Valley people
enjoy today, and Maughan's Fort, the
original name of the settlement now
called Wellsville, marks the beginning
of Cache county's history. The fort
consisted of wagons placed properly
for protection, and later log houses
were built. Others than the original
five or six came, and in two years,
1857, farms were being fenced and cul-
tivation of the soil begun.
Cache county was first organized in
1857, and reorganized in 80. Logan
city was founded in 1859 by Bishop
Preston and John and Aaron Thatch-

and the Logan temple begun. The
opening of the Logan canyon road was
one Of the great enterprises of the
early seventies, the people will
ingly donating their services to the
cause.
The coming of the Utah & North
elm in 1878 created an epoch in the
history of Cache Valley. This gave
an outlet for Cache Valley products,
and naturally proved the most impor-
tant factor in the county's growth up
to that time. The road not only sery-
cd as an outlet for products but was
the means of lowering prices on neces-
sites that were necessarily freighted
during the years preceding, Flour
was then so hundred, sugar, coal
oil and other necessities in proportion,
but with the advent of the Utah g.
Northern, these prices dropped to less
than one third. Hezekiah Thatcher,
VIM. B.Preston, Moses Thatcher, Sam
uel Roskelly, Thomas Kicks, and VIM
Hyde, were the moving spirits in the
great enterprise and to them is due
the credit of financing and building
the road. John w. Young was also
prominently identified with the road.
1877 saw the beginning of Cache
county's higher educational progress.
At this time the Brigham Young Col.
lege was founded, and its splendid
growth in the past seventeen years is
Indicative of the desire for develop
ment which possessed the pioneers.
In 1878, Presbyterian mission work
was begun in the valley, and the
present chapel and New Jersey Acad-
envy, with missions at the various
cities in the county are the result

time before and the Methodist work

Agricultural College of Utah and the

over the county and progress per-
mcated the atmosphere.
In the '90's a large number of new
concerns were attracted by the prom
ising outlook and they were not dis
appointed in the field '92 saw a new
bank, The First National, The Utah
Mortgage Il Loan Corporation, and
various enterprises in Logan and the
county settlements. The financial
depression that prevailed in the early
oO's touched this country with a
heavy hand and progress was halted,
only TO regain her momentum in '96
and 81.
During the 00's "a waterworis sys-
TEN and electric light plant were
built in Logan, an electric light plant
in Hyrum and Wellsville, and now
Logan is building a municipal light
plant to compete with the Hercules
Light and Power Co., which estab-
lished itself in this city in very recent
years.
In 1901 the Amalgamated Sugar Co.,
in cooperation with the farmers, es-
tablished in the county what is
known as the Logan Sugar Factory.
Various knitting factories have been
sources of revenue for several years,
WOODEN mill at Hyrum is another in
dustry of considerable magnitude, and
two condensed milk factories at
Richmond and Logan, indicate pres
ent activity.
Today Cache is one Of the most
prosperous counties of the State of
Utah. Rich in everything than goes
to make substantial prosperity, the
county has forged to the front and

Jokes ABOUT
INSURANCE

don't go these days-when a
man jokingly allows his policy
to lapse; or jokingly says to
the solicitor: ooh, [ am very
careful with fire and am will,
ing to risk" Not long since,
one of our agents solicited In
surance on a barn belonging
to a well-to-do farmer. This
barn was filled with grain,
farming tools, five head Of live
stock and one new carriage.
Mr.. Farmer said: 81 see to
locking that barn every night,
never employ a hand that
smokes; do not allow a lantern
carried about inside. " But
with all that care the said
barn burned with contents just
exactly eight. days later. The
only safe way is to insure In
