Logan City'S educai ional faciiii les have
steadily increased unit there are with
in the city confines today two large
central school buildings, the Woodruff
and Benson, and eight other buildings
in which schools are taught.
The Woodruff is magnificent brick
editice of nine spacious rooms located
at the corner of First West and First
South streets. An elegant lawn,
with shrubbcry lends to the attrac-
tiveness of the institution, and the
children who attend here are indeed
fortunate. Miss Agnes {. Cassidy
presides over this school and is rccOg-
nized as one OF the most proficient
executives and instructors in the
State of Utah. She came to this
country from the East and was at the
head of an Espiscopal mission school
for several years. Her ability and
worth were so appreciated that she
was finally secured for the Logan dis
trict schools and she is loved and
respected by all who come in contact
with her. The Woodruifs reputa-
ton does not come from Miss CasSidy's
perfection alone, but much of it is due
to the efficient corps of instructors in
the departments. The Board of Edu-
cation has always considered qualitica-
tion and merit before aught else and
in the Woodruff is an exempitication
of that bodys excellent Judgment.
The Benson school, located at the
corner of First East and Third North

There is no second in Logan. Mrs.

rightful place in the minds OF the
people OF the state as benefactor to
the whole state without an equal.
The experimental work done at the

proper consideration by the farmers
of Utah would save them hundreds OF

The Brigham Young College is the
church school of Northern Utah and
is fulfilling its mission most admir-
ably. The school has an annual
attendance of more than 600, and
numbers its students from the best
families in this northern inter-moun-

of Logan are very beautiful in design,
and add greatly TO the appearance OF
the city. The work Of the school Is
considered of the highest and the sue

attests this fact. President Linford
is undoubtedly bringing to the school
an unprecedented prestige.

To former supcrinlendents of city
schools who also did much to bring to
the patrons and pupils the special
privileges they now enjoy in an edu-
catiOnal way.
The present enrolment in the LO-

their necessities demand more room.
1t is expected That before a great
while new central building of eight
or ten rooms will be built. Provis-
ions are now being made for it.
The district schools Of Logan are a
great factor in its education growth
and serves as great attraction to
persons desiring to give their younger
children the best.

Mail Clerks Ouerworked.

The mail service over the Sioux City
and Aberdeen division is getting to be
quite heavy, according to advices from
Wolsey. Instead OF a daily mail serv-
ice, as It purports to be, 1t Is more
like a try" weekly. Our mail is
often delayed from two to three days.
Upon investigation we find that 1t Is
no fault Of the mail clerks. There Is
SO much mail to handle that the clerks
can't handle ii, and the result Is that
the mail is carried by the postofices
where it belongs and brought back the
next day and perhaps carried by again.
Thus IL Is carried by two or three
times before 1t Is distributed. This
thing has been going on for the last
three or four months, and 1t Is getting
SO much worse that the patrons all
along the line ar wondering what Is
the matter. The fault Is not in the
railroad nor in the mail clerks, but Is
In the p~ostofice authorities OF this di.
vision for not providing help enough
to handle the mail promptly. The mail
Is being hauled back and forth from
Sioux City to Aberdeen right by our
Office for two or three days before 1t Is
distributed. simply because the clerks
can't keep up with their work. This
thing Is getting unbearable. The rem
edy is simple: put in a few more
clerks, enough to handle the mail. and
there will be no trouble.

case at Miller ended in her discharge
from custody on the charge Of compile

Charles Henshsaw, proprietor OF the
hotel where Miss Pitcher boarded,
swore that the young woman was not
in her room at his house that night at
l o'clock, though she all along asserted
that she had been shot there at 9
o'clock that evening, drugged and left
in her room till the mex morning un.

er's attorney, made a pathetic plea for
her because she was an orphan and
penniless.
Many Of Miss Pitchers old friends
stood by her to the last. Witnesses
testified to her good character. The
same mystery surrounds the shooting
and the holdup rs before.
The defense laid the foundation for
a damage suit. The signers of the
complaint include State Senator Salt

COAL PROSPECTS.
Discoveries In Several Counties to BE
Worked.

Ot3covertoo IN Severat CountIeo 20 BE
Worked.
+ It Is to be hoped that some Of the
numerous coal finds reported at differ
ent points in the state the past few
months will prove to be Of material
value.
The find reported IN Suily county is
to be developed the coming spring by
a shaft, efforts to drain it by ditching
having failed. This alleged End Is
overlaid by a good roof of hard stone,
and IL the vein proves thick enough TO
be worked ought to be valuable.
In Brown county several finds are
reported, but so far as can be learned
they are ithout stone covering over
the coal, and. as such, could hardly be
worked with profit, regardless of
thickness Of vein or quality.
The latest reported find Is near Sen
eca, In western Faux county, where a
seven-foot vein is reported to have
been found with q roof of twanty-sev-
en- feet of slate lying over it. This
find is reported at a depth OF $50 feet,
and, being so well rooted, should be
WORKED at a pref. e the coal is of such
quality as to make 1t marketable: and,
if the reported find is genuine, 1t is to
be hoped that 1t will be developed.
Arrangements have been made for
a thorough investigation Of the extent
OF the coal found south Of Aberdeen.
The coal is very bright and does not
resemble the North Dakota Ignite.
Soon after the first strike was made
North Dakota experts sent for samples
and afterwards came down TO make a
personal investigation. The result Of
their examination Is a contract for the
sinking OF a shaft to the vein, which Is
down 800 feet.
Moses Lupient, who occupies the
land ON which the first strike was
made, says the vein is fourteen feet
thick, but In the vein there Is other
matter intervening to the thickness Of
two feet. This is on what is known as
the Rozelle farm. Five miles north,
on the Hollien place, a vein of similar
thickness and quality. and as far be-
low the surface, has been found, and
the coal men are sanguine that there
is a large deposit.
Drilling has again been begun on
the well Of the Bear Butte Oil com.
pany at Sturgis. The work of putting
down the third size OF casing to stop
the cave-in that occurred at a depth
of 700 feet is now going on. The work
will probably be finished now without
delay. The contract calls for 500 feet
of drilling. Should no oil be encoun.
tered the well viii be plugged and
packed SO as to leave the best artesian
well that can be made of It, after
which the manager will proceed to

tested shortly.

IS SUSPECTED Of BROTHERS, MURDER
Mysterious Case of Hans Hanson Takes a Startling
Turn-Chris Hanson's Explanation Not Believed.

Suspected OF having murdered his
brother, Chris Hanson is under sur
Vigilance of the officers to prevent his
leaving the country before evidence
can be obtained to warrant an arrest.
Hanson lives on a rented farm a mile
from Irene.
Up to last August his brother Hans
lived with him. According to Hanson's
story, his brother Hans left the farm
one day in company with a tramp. At
the time he was wearing his working
clothes and had little or no mor"y
on his person. He has never been
seen or heard from since hat day.
The brothers owned considerable stock
and machinery. and since the disap-
p~earance Of Hans, Chris has been SELL
fng the property. AS the property was
owned jointly by the brothers, Chris
could not make a legal sale, but his
efforts to dispose OF the stock aroused
the suspicious of the people of Irene,
and especially Of H. c. Andrews, may
or of Irene. Mayor Andrews called
States Attorney John Holman to the
scene of the crime and Hanson was
taken into custody and put through
the sweating process for over two
hours.
The owner OF the farm which the
Hanson brothers had rented told the

states attorney OF the presence of a
forty-foot well ear the house. 1t vas
found impossible to locate the well
until the owner arrived on the scene.
He Immediately went to a huge pile
of corncobs In the yard and said: "The
we'll is directly under these cobs."
Hanson admitted that he had filled the
well with dirt and rubbish, but said
1t was before his brother disappeared,
and hat he filled it because one Of his
fat hogs had fallen in and could not
be gotten out.
Neighbors of Hanson are willing to
testify that the well was not filled IN
til after the brother had been gone
some time.
Hanson's actions have been suspi.
cious for other reasons than these. He
has never shown the slightest interest
In the whereabouts Of his missing
brother.
The authorities have never been no.
tiaed of his disappearance. and when
questioned about his brother he SEEM
ed to resent the interference.
Hanson has been drinking heavily
of late and has shown a marked dis
position to be ugly and quarrelsome.
Great interest has been aroused, and
startling developments are looked for
when the we'll is opened.
