Council Meeting.

The Council had very quiet
session Tuesday evening. The
reading Of minutes was dispensed
with, and Mayor Tritsch then pre-
sented three applications for the
office of Street Commissioners, from
Calyin Hopkins, George Myers and
Asa Thompson, respectfully, all Of
which the council refused to con-
firm. AS the present commission
er's term expires about May 7,
there will probably be an interreg-
mum in that office. The Mayor
appointed VIM. Eisele for second
term as Fire Chief, and Frank
Weis and George Shorr as Deputy
Marshals; these appointments
were confirmed.
A number of bills were present.
ed by the Fin ance Committee, but
only two were allowed, for Fire
Department supplies. The rest
being bills to come out of the Cen
eral Expense Fund, which is over
drawn about $500, were tabled in
definitely. All bills for printing
and publishing were turned down.
Mr.. Angle presented a request
from the Logan Pottery Co., for
some tile to construct drain un-
der one of the alleys in the Pottery
Addition; also a similar request
from A. II. Brooke for enough til
ing to make small culvert for a
driveway In the Brooke Addition.
Both of these matters were referr-
ed to the proper committee, with
power to act. Council was asked
to appropriate land for an extern
sion from Front Street to the
Gompf Addition, south of the
canal, but for obvious reasons the
matter was postponed.
A motion was passed to issue
strict instructions to the next
commissioner entering office to
gather up all tools and impliments
belonging to the corporation, and
place them under lock and KEY in
the room provided for the same.
1t seems there has been promis-
cuous borrowing" of this kind
of public property.
The Mayor officially reported to
the council the defeat of the plan
for a bond issue. A motion to
table the "dog ordinance indcfi-
nitely, and give the dog-lovers q
'belly-full" of "dog" as we emil
nent councilmen put it, was car
ried unanimously, after which ad-
journment was made.

Dairylng has been subject Of al
most constant evolution during the
past twenty-five years. Step by step
the methods have been improved until
when the separator creamery became
general 1t was said that the end Of
development both In quality of product
and economy of manufacture had beer
reached. But 1t turns out that this
conclusion was premature. The farm
separator had not been reckoned with.
Today, through large areas OF old es-
iablished creamery territory and in
still greater areas where the creamery
sever could get foothold, new meth
cd Is being most successfully used.
At depot of little village in a coun-
~ which did not have a single cream
cry we one day recently saw a man
drive up and lift from his buggy an
eight gallon can Of cream, which he
turned over to the express agent for
shipment to centralized creamery 200
miles distant. Assuming that such
creamery managers will deal squarely
and honestly with their patrons, this
new plan enables any farmer, no mat
ter where located, to keep n dairy Of
cows and sell the separated cream Mt
good prices in the manner indicated.
This method knocks out the creamery
promoter, gives the farmer his skim
milk In the best possible condition to
feed to his calves and pigs and en-
ables him to conduct successful dairy
business entirely independent OF being
obliged to get creamery organized
before he could proftably keep cows.
While the competition resulting from
this new method is being quite serious
ly felt in many localities by the old
established creamery organizations, 1t
is nevertheless doing great and most
beneficial work In all those localities
where the dairy business, for want Of
local creamery, has never heretofore
received any attention. Many sections
of the west are being agriculturally
reformed, lands advanced in value and
prosperity assured by the use Of this
new method.

With The Base Ball Bows.

A fair crowd was attracted to
the ball park Sunday afternoon to
witness the practice games at
that time. The Furnace town
team played both games, the first
being limited to FIVE innings.
The only members of the Logan
first team on hand, were Wakely
and Stultz. 1t is high time for
hard and regular teamwork now :
and it is a mistake to wait until
the season is actually open to be-
gin practice. The management
has secured a game with tho Ian
caster "GOats" for next Sunday,
although there is possibility of
getting the Lancaster first team
here at that time. In that case,
if Logan expects to be one-two-
three, the boys will have to wake
up and hustle. Lancaster turns
out good baseball material, and
when they. come to Logan, we
want them to find foemen
worthy of their STEEL" The
psychological moment has arrived
in Logan to stir up a rousing en-
thusiasm for the game; and as
Napoleon observed, opportunity is
bald behind. ''Verbum sapienti-
bus"
LATER-The Logan team will
cross bats with Lancaster at the
Logan park this afternoon.
