Mr.. George Brooker, who had
his left foot almost shot off on
last Thursday by the accidental
discharge of gun, is getting
along as we'll as could be expected
and every effort is being put forth
to s.ve the foot from amputation.
cs,crday was thought to be the
worst day, and although he is in a
serious condition, no alarming
symptoms have developed. Mr..
BROKER is twenty-one years old
and the son of Roman Brooker.
He was hunting with Mr.. John
Delp, in whose hands the gun was
at the time the accident occurred.
The foot was badly lacerated, the
bones were splintered and the car
tileges torn, as the gun was dis
charged at close range, but it is
the hope of his many friends that
his recovery will be rapid.

The regular meeting of the

creasing in population, and by the
constant watchfulness on the part
Of tie postmaster to take advan-
tage Of every advancement. The
Rural Routes and all are TO n
great extent established by To-
cal postmaster being vigilant in
petitioning and pushing claims.
Postmaster Mckay has been a
strong advocate and encourager of
Boards of Trade and manufactory
so that such additions to our
town have increased the towns
business affairs and postofflce re-
ceipts. The receipts are now
about to the mark where Logan
will get free mail delivery, and
our people are certainly grateful
to the postmaster for his having
filed the petition and being ever
vigilant to secure for US such de-
livery. Logan is growing. We
are progressive people, and by
the next census will be ranking up
among the cities. Let us all pull
together for our town. The post
office is the barometer. AS the
receipts increase there, we know
the town is growing. Look up,
lift up.

LOGAN TO THE FRONT.
Progress We are Making Every Year
Through the Efforts of Energetic
Citizens.

1t is indeed matter of much
pride that we chronicle the growth
of Logan each year, and as we
grow, the evidence is most mani
fest in our local post office, over
what it was four years ago. This
most strongly presented itself to
us as we learned of the salaries
paid for clerk hire, in comparison
to what was paid heretofore.
The third clerk in matter of time
at the business, is Mr.. Earnest
Brown and upon recommendation
of Postmaster Mckay, he was
placed on the salary Jan. of
$500 per year, $l.668 per working
day. Miss Steinman gets the
same and Mr.. Larimer, chief de-
putty, gets 81, 900 per year, salary
equal to good preachers and good
superintendents,of schools.
Up until the present term in the
Logan postofllce, the chief deputy
got $500 per year and clerks $500
which had to be paid by the post
master. Now the postoffice is on
such a governmental basis that
the government leased the build
ing and pays the rent, put in the
modern fixtures, fixes and pays
salaries of all assistants, and in a
short time we hope Logan will
have free delivery, as the petition
is being prepared.
This increasing of postal re-
ceipts comes largely by Logan in

A report was circulated this
week of the sale of the Hooking
Clay Mfg. Co. Nothing definite
can be said at this date about the
matter, as the company has not
received a final answer from the
parties with whom they have been
negotiating, and probably will not
before a week or ten days. The
parties who have the purchase un-
der consideration are the same,
who have had the plant in view
for the past year.

Thursday, Jan. IL, 1905.

THE Republican machine of
Hooking County is using the "sec-
ond term and "fair play" spiels
in great shape for the re-nnmina-
tion of Governor Herrick but in
the case Of Postmaster Mckay
they want to disregard the second
term precedent and among them
are to be found few Republicans
who have had their second terms.
Consistency thou art a jewel.

TRIP WAS IMPOSSIBLE
Grew Of the Lewiston Exhaust Every
Effort Before Abandoning
the ". River Trip.

Fred Lundy. pilot on the steamer
Lewiston. returned yesterday from Ri
paria where ne accompanied the boat
on her last trip down the river. Mr..
Lundy states that It was impossible
for the Lewiston to get up the river.
Offields bar proved to be the barrier
to the steamers progress. There the
channel is very narrow and owing to
the boat being rather wide. both sides
Of tho hull touched the river bottom.
Every effort was made to cross the
bar and the line was snapped three
times In an endeavor to surmount the
difficulty. The attempt to reach Lew
iston was only abandoned after the
government boat wallowa had been
brought into service and an inch steel
cable passed to the Lewiston which
stopped the machinery Of the Wallowa
in an effort to draw the boat over the
bar. When this failed the trip to Lew.
iston was abandoned and the steamer
returned to Riparia where she will re-
main till higher stage of water.
