CACHES FUTURE.

1t is noted that in go foot minins
tunnel north Of Ogden l. foot vein
OF molybdenum has been discovered.
This is rare metal commanding an
exceedingly good value. Months ago
u gentleman in Cache valley who has
done some little work in analysis said
that he was certain that in the noun
tains east OF us molly bdenum could be
found in paying quantities. Since
that time, Prof Peterson, geologist at
the A. &. Of u, reported find Of
molybdenite at the Hodges mining
property lust on the other side OF the
mountains, AT that place consider
able quantity of this valuable metal
had been run out on the dump as
worthless. Now comes this latest re-
port from point but short distance
south of us. With the showing that
is made here so far as out groupings Of
mineral is concerned and the better
appearance OF each prospect as depth
is attained, 1t can hardly be doubted
that some day, some prospector will
tap the vein that will bring riches to
himself and great growth to Cache
valley. Rich ore north OF US, great
mines south OF us, millions from the
mountains few hundred miles east
and fabulous riches from the country
adjoining us on the west, it can hard
ly be possible that nature failed tC

day the people of this valley will

not Cache can be made another Bling
ham, or perchance a Manhattan.

The Deseret Farmer maintains that
the average soil in Utah, II properly
prepared and cultivated, will yield at
least 20 tons OF beets TO the acre, and In
many instances % tons per acre.
with 20 tons Of beets to the acre, no
other farm crop is likely TO give as good
returns as the growing Of beets. The
Farmer attributes the failure Of the
farmer to raise his 20 or % tons TO the
fact that the land is not properly fer
tillized; it is not plowcd in the fall;
shallow blowing is practised: irriga-
tion neglected; and weeds are allowed
to choke the beets out. THE REPUB-
LICAN does not presume to know the
whole value of these assertions and
offers the statements for the consider
alton of those who are in the business
and ought to know.

DENATUREIzED ALCOHOL.

In recent issue The REPUBLICAN
mentioned the fact that there is now
before Congress bill providing that
denaturized alcohol shall not be tax
ed Denaturized alcohol will furnish
power, light and heat and would be
used for that If the government reve-
hue OF - 0s gallon did not make it
too expensive. This class of alcohol
can BE- made from potatoes, corn, corn
stalks, beet pulp, ANYTHING that con-
tains starch. A scientific article at
hand says that il costs twenty cents
to make gallon from good corn, so it
is readily seen how easily this would
come into serious competition with
the Standard Oil trust. Denaturized
alcohol burns in an ordinary kerosene
lamp and gallon of it is said TO make
twice the light make by gallon of
kerosene. 1t burns clear and hot
without smell or danger in stove
with single burner. 1t can
be used in engines and motors now
built for gasoline, that is, by direct
explosion, or it can be burned in fur
mace and produce steam the same as
coal, 1t is clean, safe and effective.
There is varied lot OF interesting
figures and speculation in connection
with denaturized alcohol, not the least
OF which is that an acre OF potatoes,
prolific potatoes that produce 800 bus
heels, will furnish 500 gallons of alcohol,
and it is said that spoiled potatoes or
spoiled corn and any other waste OF
starch or sugar produces alcohol the
equal of any. When the tax was origin
ally made no knowledge was had of de.
natured alcohol Now to get this great
boon we must 20 through the formal.
ty OF passing law removing the tax.
A bill is now before Congress and il
has the support Of Secretary Wilson
and all those who have investigated
the matter. IL may be readily con
ceiyed that the great oil trusts viii
fight the bill.

A parent can do his boys and girls
no greater service than to teach them
the dignity of labor and the folly OF
idleness. The boy who learns to work
makes the man who works. During
vacations from school, boys and girls
should not be forced into drudgery,
but reasonable employment may be
gwen them and they should be taught
to do the work. Every boy and girl
that works enjoys the pleasures that
come much more thoroughly than
the ones who are idle all day. The
idle boy and girl find many hours that
they do not know how to put in pleas
antly and when pleasure comes along
they are scarcely in the frame of mind
TO enjoy 1t. 1t pays the boys and girls
to keep busy just as it does men and
women. A ceaseless hunt for pleasure
either does not bring it at ALL or else
brings surfeit Of II. Give the boys
and girls work to do, teach them to do
l. well and do not be afraid TO show
your appreciation Of work well done.

OUR SHOW WINDOWS.

DO the citizens ever stop to think
lust how much they are indebted to
the progressive merchant who pre-
sents attractive window displays? Do
they ever stop TO think just what
trip down The business section OF the
city would be If it were not for the
artistic efforts Of the merchants?
This is one Of the things that makes
the difference between the slow,
poky town and the live, wide awake
city-the pedestrian may see things
that are attractive, pleasing to the
eye, diverting to the mind. Logan is
noted for its fine window displays;
travelling men who go into most OF the
smaller cities and towns of the west
and east say that in number OF at
tractive window displays and stocks
OF goods well arranged, Logan has
them all beaten mile. Many OF the
towns and cities have certain firms
that put up elegant windows, but
these are limited in number, In Lo-
gan the merchants as aWhOie are awe
to the value of this kind of advertise
ing show no little taste in their efforts,
and as a result the citizens have pleas
ures in this respect that they should
appreciate thoroughly. 1t takes no
little time and studied effort, as well
as an outlay of money to make attrac-
tive window displays and that the
merchants of this city have the dispo-
sition and capacity to attain the splen-
did results they do is indeed highly
commendable. 1t is respectfully sug-
gested here that it is but fitting that
admirers of these window displays
should occasionally mention to the
merchant their appreciation of some
particular effort. This will prove an
encouragement and an incentive to
continued effort along this line.

If the teachers in the city schools in
their spare moments can instill into
the minds of the children that it
would be nicer for them to pick paper
and other refuse from the sidewalk
and street rather than throw 1t there,
this city in the next generation would
be cleaner. The children as they go
to and from school tear up their
scratch books and throw the leaves on
the sidewalks, and grown-up children
who were never taught, or else have
forgotten, throw banana aud orange
peel on the walks, and usually the
sack which formed part Of the orig
inal package. II the children could
get the idea that they should be par
ticular about littering up the home
yard and the streets, in later years we
would have citizens who would de-
light in making their property and
the city appear TO the best advantage.

The Democratic organ still insists

DRIVER FINDS
CORPSE In
A CAR

BY Associated Press.
KINGFISHER, Okla, Sept. 22.-The
body of Mail Clerk Gamble, who went
down in his car with two other coaches
of the Rock Island passenger train at
the Cimarron river bridge last Tuesday
morning, was discovered tonight by a
diver.
The corpse is pinned under the wreck
age of the mail car and the rescuers
cannot remove it.
The mail and smoking cars are still
submerged in the river, which has been
erratically raising and falling during
the day. 1t is thought CANDLES body
can be recovered tomorrow.
The bridge which takes the place of
the old structure was completed today,
but the railroad company was enjoined
from running trains across the river.
Passenger No. SO disregarded the in
junction and the engineer and con-
ductor were arrested at Hennessy.
Traffic is tied up.
Tonight deputy sheriffs are stationed
at each end of the new bridge with
orders to let no trains pass. The APP
proach to the trestle is constructed so
that the engineer cannot see the bridge
properly until too late to stop.
The atmosphere in the immediate
vicinity of the smoker Is poisonous, and
the men can carry on the rescue work
only few minutes at a time.

VALLEJO, Cal, Sept. 22.-Theodore
Bell, the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, opened his campaign here tonight
at the Farragut theater.
Mr.. Bell received an enthusiastic well
come. He was met on his arrival from
corted by three bands through the
streets illuminated by red fire.
In his address Mr.. Bell said the is
sues involved were local and not ma
tlonal. He inveighed against the al
legged control of state affairs by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
which he claimed nominated the Repub-
lican candidates at Santa Cruz.
This election" said he, should end
the railroad abuse and mi1rule. in the
state and if a nod from Hartman at a
Washington banquet can ell t the gov
ernor for this state, then let the people
bear the yoke who agree to this"
Continuing Mr.. Bell said:
"Thre is no room in California today
for the demagogue or agitator in labor
matters. The duties of employer and
employed appeal to the heart and not
to the passions Their cooperation is
destroyed by political adventures.
To-day one man stands foremost
newspapers stirs up the worst there is
in human nature, that he may crafty
his present ambitions. That mans
name is Hearst.
1T is the solemn duty of the people
of this state to drive him and his coun-
terpart. Herrin, out Of California. The
Independent league shows indisputable
proof of Hearst's treason to the Demo-
cratic party through which he has tried
to destroy the party and it's magnificent
national leader, William Jennings Bry-
an, and as fitting punishment Hearst
Is expelled from our ranks.
II am proud of the part have taken
in the purging of the party and it
makes no difference how it affects the
result. L would rather go to everlast-
ing defeat without Hearst or Herrin
than to victory with either or both of
them.

Byrda Foss, wife of Oscar F'oss of 1915
West Twenty-third street swallowed a
fatal dose of oxalic acid yesterday
morning about 9 o'clock, and yester-

The oxalic acid had been purchased
by F. M. Davis, father of the dead
woman, and placed in the medicine
chest.
According to DR.. j. F. T. jenkins,
who attended Mrs Foss. oxalic acid
and the salts appear much alike, and
the mistake was natural one.
There is no reason for believing that
Mrs. Foss took the poison Intentionally.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 22.-Four at
tempts at assault upon white women
of the city today wrought the white
citizens here to a high pitch of excite
ment tonight.
The assaults of the day followed two
others of similar nature within the
week and at least half dozen others
within the last two months. The climax
came tonight.
AT midnight Governor Terrell issued
an order calling out five companies of
the Fifth infantry and one battery of
light artillery.
This order was not issued until three
negroes had been killed and fifteen
taken to the hospital.
These include only the cases of which
the police have official knowledge. The
local newspaper men say the number
of dead is larger, possibly as many as
ten having been killed.
The mob began it's work early in the
evening" pulling negroes from the street
cars and beating them with clubs,
bricks and stones.
Negro men and women riding to their
homes after the work of the day were
ruthlessly torn from the cars or at
tackled on the steamers.
In few cases negroes retaliated in
the early part of the night, but by 10
O'Clock they were scarce in public
places.
