A KICK FOR HOSTESSES.

During the past year we have heard
many hostesses remark that the care
lessness in responding to written invi-
tations is nothing short of annoying
In many instances invitations are not
responded to at all, and not infrequent-
ly many Of those who do respond wait
until within few hours Of the func-
ton TO deliver their acceptance or re-
grets. Then again, guests attend
functions without sending an accep-
lance Of invitation and sometimes
those who have accepted fail to make
their appearance. Only those who en-
terrain largely can understand just
how annoying this is to any hostess
and certainly it is wholly inexcusable.
A written invitation always demands
and should be accorded written re.
ply. In cases where close friendship
exists society's laws are frequently ig-
nored, but common courtesy demands
that a hostess shall know how many
or few she must prepare for. 1t would
seem that polite society in Logan
would not need such reminder

THE RETIRING COMMISSIONERS.

The retiring Board of County Com.
missioners, Messrs. G.. l.. Anderson, Is.
A. Hendricks and w. II. barley, made
record that is worthy of the highest
commentator. Their adminiStra-
ton of county affairs has been free
from anything but high-minded con-
sideration for the county'S welfare,
and in the county's money they have
been exceptionally fortunate in secur-
ing excellent results.
In the matter of building roads, one
of the most important matters with
which county boards in this western
country have to deal the last Board
t, did much for Cache county. The
road from Logan south, past Millville
has been distance of five miles and
graveled for three. A new cement
bridge was constructed on this road,
and as Il whole the expenditure has
not been less than $500.
The road north from Smithtield has
had great deal of good work done on
it, and the Mendon road opened by a
former board has been made the good
road it now is. The Wellsville road
has been repaired to the extent Of
something near 1900 and 81 LOO
roller, purchased by the county, has
been used on various roads to good
effect.
The toll road in Blacksmith Fork
canyon has been bought and now It's
no longer necessary for the public to
pay tribute to private corporation.
This board has beautitied the court
house grounds and renovated the in
side of the building, so that it all pre-
sents highly satisfactory appearance.
This Board also did its duty in some
respects more fully than other Boards
for it demanded satisfactory books
from outgoing officials. This cost the
count money and much hard feeling
was cugendered but the officials die
their duty and are to be commended
The county's poor has been wei
taken care of and various minor mat
tiers have received careful attention.
All this has been accomplished with
out any increase in the tax levy. Thu
I gentlemen of the retiring Board de
serve the hearty congratulation o
every Taxpayer in the county.

TELEPHONE system
ON The UPGRADE.
MANAGER RamShaw Tells Of EXpec'
tatiOnS for Future.
He Also Offers Suggestions Which
Subscribers Should Heed.

o. w. Ramshaw, manager OF the
local telephone exchange, reports quite
flattering progress and great expecta-
tions for the future. At the present
time there are 1866 subscribers in Lo-
gan, most gratifying increase the
past few months, and Mr.. Ramshaw
places 500 as the least number next
year at this time.
Last year the company bought the
lot west OF The REPUBLICAN office
with the intention Of erecting build
ing thereon next spring. 1t will not
ne known definitely for two or three
weeks whether this will be done, but
in case it isn't, new switchboard
with practically entire new service
will be established here. The state
ment is made that it is also the in
uention of the telephone company to
put in an exchange at Smithtield in a
short time.
In speaking of the service subscrib-
ers desire and what they get, Mr.. Ram
shaw said few things that NAV be
of the greatest advantage to the pub
lie if they will but heed According
TO Mr.. Ramshaw the interests of the
subscriber and company are Identical
and in order TO obtain the best result,
there must be cooperation, The com
pany desires to give the very best ser
vice but the actions Of subscribers fire.
Quently make this absolutely impos
sible. When asked to specify, Mr.

Again, some subscribers forget out

Fully one half the public doesn't

consequence central never knows

essarily answer lines busy many
times when in reality it is not in use. y
MANY subscribers absolutely refuse
to look up the phone number Of the

call for the individual. This causes
delay and hard feelings, for unless the
girl has been in the Office many months
she cannot know the numbers of ind-
viduals called for"

Business men asking for parties at

There are many other little thing
to which Mr.. Ramshaw called our at

people would cut out the above anC
paste it where their attention would
be called to their own little discrep
ancies, they would get service on

Declaration Of Election.

When the Uellers shall have con-
pleted the footings, they deliver the
result up to the President of the
Senate, who announces the vote,
which announcement, according TO
law, "shall be sufficient declaration
of the persons, if any, elected Presi-
dent and Vice-P President of the United
States"
And then Roosevelt and Fairbanks
become the President-elect and Vice
PreSident.e elect, respectively, and the
great political machine, having &C
complishcd its work, stops and will
not move again for four years.
There is always great crowd pre-
sent at the ceremony, and this year 1t
is predicted will not differ from the
Others. Indeed, it Is expected that
the crowd will be greater than ever,
so that the authorities have decided
to admit only those TO the galleries
who have cards, and thus avoid the
awful crush which has heretofore
marked the conventions.

prove to be either lotteries or uncon-

importation and sale OF adulterated

alarming. The recent inspection OF

coholic liquors are frightfully impure
with fatal consequences to those who
drink them. Food is colored or pre-
