AT TO WATER POWER.

wide experience, points out in the
current issue of the Engineering
Magazine, how small towns and cities
may improve their industrial condi-
tions. He says there are many
streams in the country which are
capable OF yielding from 500 to 1000
horse power each, which are not vet
utilized. There are many such
streams in the west. Some Of these
arc so situated as TO supply power for
small factories. The necessary APP
pliancc for conducting power, and
buildings for sheltering dynamos and
water wheels, would not be expen-
sive, even II the current had TO be
transmitted for several miles. The
rural manufacturer would have the
advantage Of cheapness over the city
competitor who relies on steam and
must transport his coal from great
distance.
In addition to the electrical power
generated for operating the machinery
surplus electricity might be sold for
lighting purposes or tor the operation
of trolley cars. If chain of power
plants were established, with little
colonies OF operatives the nearby
farmers would have profitable markets
for much OF their produce. The con-
struction OF trolley lines would follow
for the transportation Of the products
Of the farm and factory.
On the continent of Europe, notably
in France, Germany and Switzerland,
special encouragement is given to
small industrial enterprises. In the
right hands there can be little doubt
OF the success Of this idea. This
scheme has had few illustrations in
America, but that it has proved pro-
titable where tried is proof that 1t
would not be unsuccessful in this
country.
The census reports show that the
population Of cities is rapidly increas-
ing while the rural population is
as rapidly decreasing. The tendency
is to concentration in cities. One
of the causes-and perhaps the chief
cause-is the lack of factories in the
small towns.
BY wider and more judicious dis
tribution OF factories and industrial
plants, the cost of fue! and transpor-
tation Of finished products and raw
materials would be lessened, labor
would be better employed, living
would be less expensive and the value
of farm lands would be enhanced.
Good water powers are neglected and
going TO waste, which If improved by
enterprising men with small capital in
scattered localities, would afford op-
portunities for profitable investment.
Cache county is better fixed for the
utilization of cheap water power than
any villages spoken Of by DR.. Bell, and
we have within our borders home
capital sufficient for taking up and
developing new industries. With such
such conditions within reach Cache
county people should take advantage
OF their superior opportunities. There
are hundreds OF enterprises awaiting
investment that will make more
money for capital than simple in
terest, in addition to giving employ
ment to hundreds of people that will
help make Cache county grow.

The hills and valleys of Cache coun-
ty are rich in mineral resources and
many other things that would bring
wealth and fame TO the citizens If
they will but awaken to the fact and
invest capital TO develop the wealth
that lies within easy reach. There Is
no better farming lands to be found in
Utah. Specially farming in this Sec
tion of Utah is practically unknown,
Notwithstanding that many special
ties are far more profitable than heavy
farming. This is suggestion that
should have the serious consideration
OF every farmer. With these things
so much in evidence there is no reason
why a concerted movement on the
part OF the people having money to
invest, and those who wish to further
the manufacturing interests here,
should not be made to secure more
industries. The future of the town
and county is in the hands OF the pee.
pie. Upon their efforts alone depends
its growth and prosperity.

thing possible to make Of the lighting
system in Logan perfect success,
have spent time almost unlimited in

the past year. this committee has done
this work and charged not one cent.
They have done the work satisfactor-

DISMISSAL OF
j. MORRELL
Was Not a Political
Matter at All.
He Resigned after
Royal Treatment.

Considerable is being said about the
resignation of John Morrell as gener-
ator tender in the power house, and
some ignorant of the circumstances
attendant attribute this TO Republi-
can politics. The facts in the case are:
Months before Mr.. Morrell's resigna-
tion the committee saw tit to place
the responsibility of the power house
affairs on some one man who should be
known as foreman. Mr. Young, be-
ing older and having had more expert
ence than any other man at the house,
was chosen to be that foreman. A
raise in Mr.. Young's salary was offer
ed in view of the fact that he would
have to carry this extra responsibility
Mr.. Morrell demanded a similar raise
at that time. Mr.. Young proffcred I o
divide with Mr.. Morrell the ten dollar
raise offered him. just as matter OF
friendship to the latter, but with the
understanding that Mr.. Young still
be recognized as foreman. This was
agreeable to the committee and both
men drew the same salary for some
months.
Later, Mr.. Young reported that he
had an offer of 800 per month TO go
out of the State to work. His family
being here, he preferred not TO so If a
small raise be made in his salary. Hay-
ing been AT the house from the begin
ming and having shown himself so
careful and efficient, the committee
decided 10 ni!er him S75 per month.
Mr. Young accepted. Next day Mr..
Morrcll served notice on the commit
tee that he would Immediately re-
sign - which he did. He was re-
ceiving So per month when he re.
signed. The same work is now being
done by IL man of equal ability and
experience for $50 per month.
If our Democratic friends can find
politics in this they are certainly
more successful than Peary in locating
the North Pole.

for five lights at the rate Of 80 cents
each it would amount 10 sL7j per
month or S2l per wear. Since lac pays
only ~ cents each per light these i've
lights cost him only one dollar per
month or sl2 per year. Now add to
this Sl2 the amount of his tax, which
is s6 and it amounts to SlS a year for
both lights and taxes. With the 80
cent light he paid s2l for lights alone,
and must pay for interest on bonds
from his other general tax: The diff
ference then is between s2l the Demo
cratic price, and sls, the present price,
which amounts to So in his favor. Be-
sides this, half of his tax is to be used
to enlarge his plant while the whole
of the s2l would 20 toa rival corpora
ton.
This tax is not the burden "the
only" says it is, and those who cry
loudest about il are those who by
their failure to patronize the city
plant made that tax necessary. Heads
that can figure out wonderful solu-
tion of the difficulty which they have
made, were not shrewd enough to fore
see the difficulty in which they are
now placed. Had they been shrewd
they certainly would have supported
the city plant and made that tax un-
necessary. Any time those people
want to end the fight and cease pay
ing the tax they can do so by giving
their patronage to the city plant.
Why should not these few do this
rather than that the whole city
should come to then. AS "A straight
business proposition why do they not
hasten TO yet rid of that tax in the
legitimate way?
Republican administration is not a
failure; the tax is not a burden on any
but those who so will it.

cost. Then consider. had the con-
struclion been postponed until the
summer months, the operation OF
the plant would have come Just that
many months later. The extra inter
est on the large sum Of money borrow
ed would more than make up for any
extra cost Of plant construction during
the winter
Now, truly, has the Democratic
organ even little ground for its as
sertions about a So 900 or $40, 900 loss
or waste of money? Its informants
have simply misled 'thc only" people
into making serious mistakes This
idea of blocks" of poles being reset
at an enormous cost, the digging of
holes at an enormous cost, etc, is
simply bugaboo coniurcd up for poll
tcal purposes. The public will do
well to accept statements of the OPP
position with large grain Of salt

Mayor RObinSOn's
Statment.

The writer spoke to Mayor Robin
son in regard to "the only's" charge
that many in the city are using lights
free of charge. lie said in substance:
There are few people who are
reporting only part OF their lights
on both the city and Telluride systems.
These parties are hard to locate al
ways because they resent the in
spection of their bed rooms that Is
necessary to locate these lights. The
city has, however, had man out
sealing the unpaid for lights and that
work is not yet finished, but at most
there are comparatively few, and both
companies suffer from it at the hands
of those who will do such things
When the price Of lights went down
people put on more lights and not all
reported this at the beginning of the
month, but by inquiry at the Office we
find that most people have reported
the increase in the number of lights
used by them"
We do not believe Mayor Robinson

ment in setting poles for the light syS.
TEN, "blocks" of them had TO be reset

in financial way 1t recites a story
to the effect that the digging of pole

loss. 1T recites few other small
delinquencics and then Jumps the
whole sum of money wasted at about
$4,000 or $4,000,

unfortunately for the cause 'the only"

vestigate far enough to get the real
facts, and makes statements that

The CITY DID NOT RESET ANY POLES,
NOR DID CITY POLE HOLES COST $500
AND $500 EACH.
The facts are these: A goodly num-
Der of poles in the city system are
owned Jointly with the Bell Tele-
phone Co. When the Bell got ready
to put in its system, work was begun
in the lower end of the city without
consultation with the light author
tiles. For reasons unavoidable Man
ager Tom Daniels fai ed to arrive In
Logan until one week after the Bell
had begun work TWELVE poles
mad been set at that time at a cost of
about 800 per pole. The poles were
not set to the advantage of the light
system and the Bell reset them on Mr.
Daniels request. True, the city lost
half the expense of that work lily
done, but the total of that meant
probably as much as S25 or the poles
put in by the city, owned exclusively
by the city, no single one has been re-
set
AS to pole holes costing the city
$500 and 5000, the assertion is ridi-
culously prepostcrous. 1t will not be
denied that 1t cost more money to dig
these holes in the winter tiTe, but no
in this city cost the city more than
two dollars, and the average from fig
ures in the electric light Office shows
that they cost Sl2j. "The only is

dug that cost 81, 81, - and even $lO
were those dug by the Bell Telephone
Co. at their own expense, the great
holes dug At the corners for stay Jur-
poses. The city paid no part of this
expense.
1t is entirely probable that the dig
ging of the holes during the winter
cost the city some extra money, a
comparatively small amount, but
what would have been the attitude of
