He has ably defended the people
against all corners from the pulpit and
the press and has demonstrated that,
in ability as a writer, he has but few
peers in the church. The church
organ of which he stands at the head
in the editorial department, is recog-
nized as one of the best edited papers
in the United States which is partially
due to the able efforts of its editor.
Mr.. Penrosc has been known by
some Cache valley people since the
early sixties. They have associated
with him in the various vicissitudes
OF life, and they know him to be a
man of integrity, sound judgment,
and quick in perception. Being pos
sessed OF an amiable disposition, he
has made many friends. With his
abilities he will certainly give strength
and support to his quorum, who at
tho present time are in need OF such
assistance, caused by the physical dis
abilities of some Of its members who
are unable to attend TO their active
duties. The selection is good one
and such as the people can heartily
endorse.

The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-07-13

There were two things in the st.
Louis convention which made that
gathering conspicuous: The fight for
the platform, and the party's nominee
finally making a specific declaration.
Again we can reduce those two
actions into one,-a declaration OF the
rightfulness of the Republican tinan-
cial policy. When Bryan and Hill
conciliated and did nothing with the
gold plank thereby making 1t, as Ex-
Senator Pettigrew stated, "a treatise
rather than platform and have sue
ceeded in producing a large volume
without saying anything; when they
did this, their sphinx spoke forth as
did Ballaam's ass, and stopped the
march of that party.
The fight, indeed, was memorable
one Bryan, with the mighty courage
of his convictions, locked horns with
the mighty cunning. So great were
these two forces that, in the end, prin-
ciples were laid aside and the plain
question asked, "Inasmuch as we can
not agree on principle, will we follow
a course to get votes?" And invari-
ably the answer came yea, any
thing for votes" As Mr.. Cannon,
of Utah, said that victory" was
the paramount issue and Mr.. Bryan
retorted by saying that such was not
the case but that If question were
not settled right it was never settled
at all,-then the Democratic platform
can hardly be said to be a declaration
OF principles because no one potent
principle was settled one way or an,
other.
However, when Mr.. Parker sent hi.
telegram declaring for the gold stand
ard and stating he desired his nam,
withdrawn II the convention did moi
look upon his views as satisfactory, h,
virtually dictated the position Of tn,
party on that issue. As the conyen
ton forced themselves into harmon,
and held the Judge as their candidat
thoy practically hold the gold stand
ard views. This brings no great issu
OF principle into the coming campaign
and reduces the matter to Roosevelt
or Parker"

Millville.

John Riggs has recently returned
from Union County Oregon. He states
that the crops are looking first class
in that section.
II. A. Campbell of Providence has
sold his farm OF thirty-seven acres in
the Millville field to Joseph r. Jepson.
This is part of the Oldest farm In
Cache County located by the Garr's in
early days.
The people of Millville intended TO
celebrate the 4th. and oath, but de-
cided to abandon the idea owing to
the epidemic of whooping cough that
Is prevailing. There are about
twenty-five families under quartine,
and some of the children are very
sick.
Madames Martin Olsen and Charles
II. Taylor are improving from their
sickness.
The relatives and friends OF Willard
Carr were glad to see him return from
his twenty-seven months mission In
the northwestern states.

there are two more candidates in the
field for governor, John c. Cutler and
Jesse NJ. Smith. Both of these gen.

the state. These, in connection with
f. II. Callister, James T. Hammond
and Governor IIeber NJ. Wells, form a
strong body of men for the people to
select from.
Now that the date of the Republi.

has been revived and candidates for
state offices are beginning to announce
themselves. OF course, the chief in

Sunny Bill had such a short time in
which to report the Fourth doings
that he forgot his manners and neg

Council as the promoters of such a
thoroughly good, wholesome celebra-

He also forgot to mention that our

Last evening the Silver Cornet Band
gave the first of a series Of weekly
concerts, intended to raise money for

Mining investment That Is Safe.


In this issue of The Ranch, we have
an advertisement of the Mayf1ower
Mining & Milling company AS rule
we do not admit to our pages mining
advertisements of any kind, as so
many are fakes. But when such bust
ness men as DR.. F. A. Churchill, one
of the oldest and most prominent
physicians Of Seattle, Prof. Frank j.
Barnard, we'll known as the superin-
tendent of our city schools for years
and the present representative of the
American Book Co., and ChaS. e.
Crane, president of the Mutual Light
& Heat Co., the Diamond Ice & StOr-
age Co., and the Manufacturers Asso-
citation OF Seattle, are willing to back
up mining property, we feel that our
readers will take no risk beyond the
ordinary risk of business, in investing
where they are willing to guarantee,
as they do, that every statement made
by them about the wonderful May
flower property is the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth. The
reports of several experienced mining
experts has been sought to decide be-
yond question that this property is one
in which absolute results may be eX-
pected before one dollar of the stock
was offered for sale. The capital of
the company has been placed so low
$780, 900 (most companies have from
one million to fifty million dollars)-
that it is quite easy for them to rea-
sOnably expect returns as high as ten
per cent per day, when large plant
is Operating-and this is sure to be
arrived at-for there is undoubtedly
an immense ore body and a magnifi-
cent water power to operate the prop
erty very economically. The fact that
it is a trembling and cyaniding ore,
enables them to get the values out OF
the ore without having to ship off
the property, at cost of only $3.50
per ton. Many companies fail to earn
operating expenses, let alone divi
dends, from having ores that require
shipment to a smelter-and that is
where the Mayf1ower wins, for it can
handle ore that runs as low as $500
per ton and make handsome returns
with the great body of ore at it's COM
mand and the immense water power
on the property For these reasons
we believe our readers perfectly safe
in any investment they may choose
to make with the Mayfower Mining &
Milling company.

When to Wean Lambs.-The prac-
tice of leaving the lambs with the eve
till late in the fall is great drain on
the ewes and in no way compensated
for by a gain in tn lambs. For the
first three or four months there is
nothing equal to or what will take the
place of the ewes milk for the lamb.
After this time the milk supply be-
comes scanty and does not cut an i'm
portant figure in the lambs mainte-
nance, for he is fully able to digest
solid food Then, too, they depend on
the ewes, and will not feed as readily
as when they are away from them. l
like to separate about the first of Au-
gust. By this time there is usually
some fresh after feed where the lambs
can run | have always noticed
marked Improvement in them from
that time on. The ewes will do well
on the old pasture, and after the
drain" of milk is stopped will make
the growth necessary to put them in
the best shape for breeding again. 1t
may not be generally known, but it
is fact that if there are no old sheep
among them at this season, lambs may
be turned next to a piece of growing
corn and they will not harm it. The
ewes should have a little attention at
this time. If possible they should be
separated so as to be out of hearing
of the lambs bleating. Either put
them in a field where the pasture is
very short or shut them up in a barn
where they only get dry hay and wa
ter. This will lessen the milk flow.
The second or third day catch each
one and after setting it on its rump
in the position one would have it to
start shearing, milk them out This is
not as slow or difficult as it might
seem to one who had never tried it,.
If attended to it will not only save the
sheep much discomfort, but prevent
broken udders and defective teats
next season. The milking should be
repeated at the end of week

acts on the nervous system OF the
pregnant animal, causing contraction
of the uterus and consequent abortion.
The other cereals, though sometimes
blighted with smut, are not at all
likely to cause any trouble in this re-
spect. Barley hay is considered more
valuable for feeding than rye hay cut
in the same condition. or course,
there is some objection to feeding bar
ley hay of the bearded variety owing TO
the boards sometimes causing sore
mouths in the stock to which 1T is fed.
Rye hay is considered valuable iced

be as valuable as barley hay, but Tor
all other classes of stock barley Will

Raising Alfalfa.-Having raised al
falfa in Colorado, and having studied
the growth and habits of the plant,
and also noted the nature OF the SOIL
on which it thrives best, | believe
can give you a few pointers. In the
first place, | notice that alfalfa does
best where irrigated. | do not be-
Iieve that this is entirely owing TO
the application of the water and the
thorough soaking the ground gets, but
it is more due to the nature OF the
soil. for in all arid states you Will not
find the stiff clay subsoil of the east;
but instead the soil is very porous and
gives thorough under-drainage, be-
sides letting the tap root OF the al
falfa plant go down, nobody knows
how deep. The first year alfalfa In
the east does pretty well, for the tap
root can work it's way down two or
three feet without difficulty; then the
trouble begins. The springs are wet
and the subsoil holds the moisture
until it becomes sour, which condition
is fatal to the alfalfa plant. With
