The Laramie Wyoming Boomerang
Of March = contains an address upon
''seepage," made by Mr.. b. A. Flem-
ing before gathering of irrgators in
that city. The address is of consider
able length and the Boomerang gives
1t credit OF being "strikingly original"
and for great value. The paper also
gives an account of a council meeting
at which Mr.. Fleming, as head of a
committee appointed by the mayor to
draw up plan to increase the avail
able water supply of the city, made a
most satisfactory report. Young Flem-
ing is rapidly acquiring an enviable
reputation in irrigation work, and his
many friends here are always glad to
hear of him. He is a son of Banker
! Fleming.
If the statements of a certain travel
ing man are to be accepted in good
faith, then the people of Utah are
just on the eve Of giving themselves a !
more thorough cleaning and scrub !
bling than seventeen Senate Commit |
tees and nine million of the opposition
could accomplish in two hundred
years. According to his own state
mcnt, this travelling man came in
the State of Utah about two weeks |
ago and since this advent has sold
=, 463 cars of soap. He arrived in Lo-
gan yesterday went to Wellsvillc and
Hyrum and sold three cars at each
place. The last heard of him. he was
in Paradise making a record-breaking
sale. John W. Trewhcla, of the Rock
Island system, came to Logan to Sc
cure the shipment Of this soap over
his lines, and It's said landed three
cars of the 2,4OO.
The black Percheron stallion,
Evan" imported into Logan by II.
II. and r. II. Smith some years ago,
was sold recently to Allen Bros, of
Draper, Utah. This Is one of the
finest stations in the state, having
sired many fine horses in this county
which have brought top prices. Among
these are four now in the fire depart
ment of Salt Lake City. The depart
ure of this horse means loss to Cache
county, but a gain to Salt Lake coun-
~, The Smith Brothers have take
great pride in keeping Cache county in
the lead so far as good horses are con-
cerned and have spared neither money
nor effort in this respect. Their work
has been good for the county in gener-
al and should be appreciated. Breed
crs in Logan will be pleased if the
Smiths can see their way clear to inn
port another good animal into the
city.

were visited and it was found that
three boys from the Seventh ward had

any way, but rather aid the officers in
