What encouragement Is there to
plant lawns between the cement walks
and the bitches and fences? Though
the cement walk laid is six feet wide,
fully six out Of every ten pedestrians
will step from that walk and travel on
the lawn at the side. Bcyclers take
delight il coursing on these little
lawns, cows are driven over them and
horses ridden on them. AS these
lawns are being constructed, 1t seems
that all humanity and the animals Of
all creation take tiendish delight in
making these little patches of newly
turned earth look like Chinese check
er.boards, and II perchance the grass
peeps through and attempts to grow,
the same combination works harder
TO tramp it out as quickly as possible.

THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE.

THE REPUBLICAN again calls atten-
ton to a change in the subscription
rate Of this paper in Logan city. Last
November 1t was cited that delivery
OF papers in Logan costs between $500
and 5000 year; before free mail de-
livery was instituted by the govern.
ment there was no expense OF the
kind to this paper. This expense is
one that the paper can lily afford to
bear as long as subscribers insist on
bciug carried on the books year or
two without pay. In order to carry
subscribers il is necessary to borrow
money and pay interest. To pay in
terest and an additional delivery aC-
count Of $500 or 5000 year is heavy.
AS stated in November and again in
January, THE REPUBLICAN has made
the following subscription rate for
Logan city-One year in advance g., so;
not in advance $500. If subscribers
will take notice Of this there will he

In speaking OF newspaper rates, it is
cited here as a fact that can not be
successfully contradicted, that there
are few local weekly newspapers Of

Last week two such men were in our

At the upper end Of East Second
South street there is swale in a lot
which the owners evidently desire FL
led up. At the present time 1t is the
dumping ground for all kinds of refuse,
and It's said the stencil is fearful at
times. Children, ever curious to poke
about in old rubbish, visit this place
and rummage around in the old rags,
tin cans, and various lot ofIal dumped
there. This is dangerous to them and
the health of the public is not better
ed by this dumping ground. The at
tentiUn Of the proper officials is re-
specially called to this nuisance.

The attention of the Logan public
is again called to the recent notice of
the city Board of Health. The Board
says clean up" before May lst, and
it's high time the people are getting
at it. Along many of the streets burrs
by the million are lying and in short
time, If the bitches are not cleaned,
they will be swept onto the lands be-
low. There are few back yards that
do not contain more that the legiti-
mate amount Of rubbish. This should
either be burned or hauled away to
the city dumping ground The spring
is the proper time TO do the yard
cleaning, and at the same time no
harm would be done II pickets were
nailed on the fence, broken down
gates repaired, and a little white
washing done about the corrals If
cleanliness Is next to Goodness then
indeed are some OF us far from the
throne.

frequently because the lot on which
first class residence has been built is
left unattended, or perchance filled
up designedly with bushes and small
trees, Before Logan can hope to have
attractive residence sections, the peo-
pie who build houses must learn TO
build them on rather high founda-
tion, with less gingerbread effect,
construct good lawns that are left
open in the center, surround the
whole with neat fence and then keep
the property free from noxious growth
in back and front yards, as well as in
the vicinity Of the walk and bitches
in front.
Then, II there is not already one TO

passed requiring all owners Of vacant
lots within the city limits TO keep
them free from the growth OF bushes,
weeds, tall grass and such like. Nor
should these lots be made dumping

BOOST A LITTLE.

The Salt Lake Mining Review gives
a little sermon on boosting" 1t in
sists that boosting Is what has made
every mining camp. Following word
about Tonopah's discovery byJ. Butler
and his mule. The Review offers a
word that ought to be encouraging to
prospectors here as well as in every
other undeveloped field in the west.
The Review says
II Is not because Nevada is possess
ed Of greater or richer mineraliza-
tion than other western states that II
Is the most popular mining section in
the west today; but its rapid rise is
due to the pushing, the boosting, that
has been done of late; this pushing,
this boosting this careful investiga-
ton and the presence Of ten thousand
prospectors in the hills and canyons
resulting in such marvellous discover
les that one could not ignore them, If
they would; each big find leading to
another in rapid succession, and each
sale being but the forerunner of anoth-
er of great proportions, while from
every direction there is a rush Of CAPT.

to pick up this or that embryonic bon

made, is reported from sea TO sea, and

ton of man was not known.
Push little. Boost. There is
hardly a mining state in the west that
is not as good as is Nevada. All that
they need is more enterprise, more
push. Take Utah, Idaho, Arizona and
several other western states and put
an army of ten or fifteen thousand
prospectors in each, keep them there
two or three years, and 1t is safe &c
say that discoveries would be made In
each commonwealth that would
amaze the world, that would turn the
tide of popularity until in each OF the
states mentioned there would be as
much excitement,as much success, and
as much mining activity as is to be
sound in the great state OF Nevada to-
day. Push little; boost, and get into

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards. July 10.
Supply of cattle was light here last
week, due largely to falling off in
receipts of southerns, the season for
moving these north being about over,
There was also falling off in the
native run and market on the whole
was little quiet. Demand was very
strong for good beef cattle and prices
closed strong to dime higher than
preceding week. Choices steers
would have sold up to So. 90 but moth
Ing here good enough to land better
than "a 60. Choice cows were also
scaice and packers could have used a
good many more. Prices are firm on
good dry lot cows and choice grassers.
Common cows are dull and the market
25 to so lower than two weeks ago.
Native grass cows are still pretty
green and good many sold below
49, 90 last week. Some choice Wyo-
ming grassers brought S3. TO- the high
price and most of the better grades
ranged from this down to $500. Bulls
in fair demand and selling largely
from 81 30 to So Is. Veals firm and
active Some very choice brought
s. SO Saturday but bulk of week s
supply went at "a. to S.. %. Feeder
and stocker demand very light and not
many here.
The local stock yards are being en-
larged and improved and thousands of
dollars spent in making the facilities
for handling all kinds of live stock
first class. Denver packing plants are
doing much larger business this
year than last and the demand for beef
here this fall will be much better
than ever before. Feeder demand
from the corn belt is expected to be
very good and there will also be
strong demand ON this market for
feeding cattle. both steers and cows,
from the sugar beet districts, where
extensive feeding operations will be
carried on this winter. On the whole
prospects are very bright for an excel
