The farmer sows his crop

The farmer darns the weather

The farmer pitches in the hay;
But should he cross her whim,
His good wife lays aside her work
And pitches into him.

Where Provo Is Short.

In the matter of paving Provo !
not yet as far along as Logan, som
of the streets in the heart Of the cit.
not having been improved in this re
pect. Nor is the city's public squar
any. credit to it. This now look
worse than Logan's square did befor,
that So, 600 was spent on II recently
In the center Of the Provo square Il
the old tabernacle and this looks al
most as bad as the old Peacock corne
in this city. At one side Is the com
paratiyely new tabernacle which Is {
highly creditable structure, However
there are nothing but dirt walks
around the square and no attention Il
given the grounds. Logan can now
be like the Pharisee and thank God
that Is is not like other towns in
some respects.
We saw no barber shops that com
pared with Logan's, nor a confec.
tionery establishment that can touch
either Murdock's or Hansen's. Proves
dance hall can not be compared with
Logans $4,000 pavilion, neither is
the Rio Grande's station in the
same class with the o. S. l.. station
here.
The windows Of the business houses
are hardy equal to those of Logan.
There are some exceptionally good
windows in Provo, but to us it seems
that Logan has window dressers who
take more pride in their work, else
know how TO do IL better.
Provo has postoflice with fixtures
and some conviences that Logan
hasn't, which make it show up ex-
ceedingly well
The city is well lighted, having a
sixteen candle power lamp on every
pole instead of every other pole as in
Logan.
The street Sprinklers manage to get
in more work than in Logan. Wheth-
er there are more sprinklers we do
not know, but the driveways out of
the city are Sprinklcd for at least two
miles. The drive TO the lake Is made
delightful by being sprinkled very
nearly all the way.
The city livery stables have some
finer rigs than there are in Logan,
but few handsome private turnouts
were seen. Possibly they were not on
parade.
The streets seem to be in some bet
ter condition than this city. They
are smoother, and the growth of weeds
at the side is not so prominent.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-08-16

lnasmuch as the city is not in
a financial condition at present to
keep the streets looking as 'spick and
SPAN as the cOurrlI and citizens a. a
whole would like 70 have them, would
II not be u Crcditable move for the in
diyidual property owners TO go the
limit? Nothing is more unsightly
than the growth of weeds along the
bitches and at the edge Of the street,
yet this could be removed in front of
any property in this city in an hours
time. The weeds cause residence
streets TO take on the appearance Of a
wilderness, and covered as they are
with dust are unsightly aud health
destroying. Cut these weeds once a
week and the city will be greatly i'm
proved in appearan =. Eventually
the city can and will put scraper out
TO do this work for you. No matter
how nicely the lawn is kept, or how
fresh is the paint on the fence, a
growth Of weeds at the edge Of the
street in front OF your property mars
the good effect, lust little extra
effort would cost you nothing and
when the work is completed you will
be more than glad. Have you got
enough civic and personal pride TO dc
this2 Do it and induce your neigh.
Dor to follow suit.

Last winter there appeared to be
about an average snow fall in the
mountains, In the early part of the
summer it was all gone, not laying as
1t has done in former years. This un.
doubleday is due to the absence of un.
derbrush in the mountains, there be-
ing no shade over the snow to hold it
back, Springs in various localities
that were never known to 20 dry are
that way this year. This is an unfort-
innate situation that conironts the
people who are dependent upon the
mountain streams for irrigation
water The proper authorities should
be appealed to that stock may be kept
from certain localities in the noun.

Two Cities on a Par.

In the matter of street car lines
there Is little or no choice between
the two, likewise between the re-
Spective bands. The beer dispensed
at both places is said to be indentical,
and booze equally as Intoxicating.
That famous lake resort will compare
pretty favOrably with the Logan city
park. The Brigham Young Academy
has no advantage of the b. Y. College
in this city so far as appearance goes,
and most certainly the State institu-
tion there does not appear to better
advantage than the Agricultural Col
lege
Provo is built on benches largely as
Logan is, with picturesque mountains
a little nearer than the range TO the
east of us. This range near Provo is
indeed very beautiful, not so rugged
as the Logan range but much sleeper,
and for this reason appears TO
be higher. To the northwest
about three miles lies Utah lake, a
splendid body of water. The drive
out that way is past small farms,
where beetS and potatoes seemed to
be at the height Of perfection. Water
tanks for Sprinkling purposes dot this
road at convenient distances for at
least three miles, The road finally

As to Registration.

Those who labor under the impress
sion that Provo was the scene Of wild
activity during the registration week
are mistaken. On Friday, 1856 were
registered, but during the afternoon
and evening of that day there were no
more people on the street than may
be seen in Logan any Saturday even
| ing. During the twelve days Of
registration but 1925 were registered
and Of these fully 5000 If not more
were from Provo, surrounding towns,
and Salt Lake, places that could easily
be reached any day after registering.
The hotels, boarding houses and the
tent city" were filled with people at
bedtime but this number was not suf-
ficient to cut any figure on the streets.
Most Of those registered came in on
one train and went out on the next.
The writer did this, and fully 800
more who went down on the same
train did likewise.
There was no difficulty in getting
registered nor need of a rush.
Notaries were on all trains and If one
cared to do so he could have his
papers all ready by the time he
reached Provo. Once there, every
other man met on the way to Main
street proved TO be notary public.
The sidewalks were lined with
notary's stands, and boys with cards
gave you the names of reliable gentle
men who would tend to every need,
etc. The people who got off the trains
including old men, cripples, women
young and old and hosts Of young men
appeared to think they had no time
and rushed for notaries as If their
lives depended on IL. These notaries
did the most rushing, however, for
on their speed in making out the
papers depended the number of
quarters they got. The formality was
nothing more than swearing to aye,
birth place, height, weight, present
place of residence, and that the
swearer had no 100 acres in his pos
session already.
Once this paper was secured, some
building down in the city was visited
and there one of dozen clerks wrote
your own and their name and date on
a blank and you had your certificate
emitting you to file at Nernal if you
happen to prove winner. There
was no rush and crush except in get
ting on the return train. This train
was an hour late Friday night and
a great crowd waited. The ac-
comodations were inadequate. One
of four empty coaches standing on a
side track was added but this gave
relief To only a portion of the crowd
The train proceeded to Salt Lake
with the aisles crowded with those
compelled TO stand.

where he could whittle as he pleased,
has a residence that would grace any
street in Salt Lake city. 1t is an
architectural beauty-and therein lies
the beauty of most Of the city's new
residence property-some architects
down there are onto their job. This
property of Mr. Knights is exceeding
ly charming, the appointments being
perfect, and is said to have cost $50, 900.
1t looks it and IL is the peer In APP
pearance OF most $3.50 properties
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-08-16

If the city can raise the money this
fall, paved crossings on Main at the
tabernacle corners should be put in.
Now that good walks are on either
side Of the street, there should be no
wading mud ankle deep in order to
get from one TO the other. Ehe coun.
Gil has considered this matter before
and come to a favorable conclusion, but
unless the matter is kept in mind it
may be passed up for another year.
