it all up with him. Came running to the captain,

The thirty days probation which every fire
horse is given Ginger ranked with the veterans
at Station Forty-Four. Even before the first week
was out he even with the leader in breasting
the pole when the gong rang. In two more he had
learned to count the numbers, and when it was not
forty-four that sounded he would turn and walk
back to his stall.
Out in Kansas he had been used to working from
sunrise to sunset, with hour between times to eat

and rest. Here 1t was eat and rest from
sun to sun, with an hour or two of work.
But it was work in capital letters when it
did come work that made an athlete of a
horse as of a man. Ginger had lost flesh
under it, to an extent; not much, for he
was not horse that carried superfluous
weight at any time. His fifteen hundred
pounds were good, hard, service material.
That long fore shoulder, obliquely set,
with considerable slope, the long and
muscular arm, the fiat and bony knee,
the short fiat shank, with thin fine sinews,
and the long and powerful hind quarters
were attributes not to be mistaken of an
animal framed for action. That great
depth between the tip of the shoulders and
the intersection of the fore leg, too, showed
the quality of courage which an emergency
might count on, and the wide chest
assured the lung power to drive it.
Ginger had gone through the usual
tests of fre-horse apprenticeship. The
umbrella cure for shyness had been ad-
ministered, though the trainer who fancied
that Ginger might be shy provoked the
laughter of the men afterward

day later on. Say, that horse'd be to

But regulations are regu-

cure came the tin-pan cure
for kicking. That did rile
Ginger He was never known
to kick at anything that came
along in the line of business,
but to have a tin pan tied to
his hind quarters out of pure
official cussedness was an ex-
perience of another sort. The
report of the trainer was not
flattering to Ginger; but the
men laughed at the trainer.
To the hiss of escaping steam
and the flash and sputter of
pyrotechnics Ginger remained
impassive. Whether these
were tests to try his steadiness

The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1906-03-31

During the past few years not less
than 100000 has been spent in the
various settlements to secure pure
water for culinary purposes, and in
Logan there has been general extern
sion Of water mains into sections
where surface wells furnished the sup
ply heretofore. 1t has been discover
ed that much sickness and many
deaths in past years must be attribut-
ed to the impure water from wells,
and IL is very gratifying that the pub.
lie generally is now alive to the abso-
lutte necessity OF good water. While
these Improvements in Logan and the
settlements were being made many
grumbled at the taxes and expense
attendant in securing the needed pure
water, but II is matter of fact that
after their houses were supplied AND
they understood the advantage gained,
the grumbling changed to expressions
Of pleasure, and few IL any, would now
be willing tc go back to the old con-
dition This is true Of sidewalk paw
ing. When this idea was first started,
there was an awful roar, but now there
are large number Of petitions for
walks each year, and none would give
up the walk they now have. These
walks have greatly enhanced the value
of property just as pure water in the
homes make the health more certain.
The spirit of public improvement
should meet with hearty reception
rather than opposition.

PATENT MEDICINES.

For months Golfers Weekly has
devoted much space TO exposing pat
ent medicine frauds, and few are the
patent remedies advertised that Col
liers' has not branded as rank poisons
That publication has printed the in
gradients of these nostrums, detailed
the curative properties claimed and
demonstrated concluSively TO the in.
telligent mind that these so-called
curatives not only do not cure or offer
even temporary relief except through
the narcotics they contain but are
actually detrimental TO the very
diseases they claim TO cure.i Several
damage suits have been filed against
Golfers during the past two years, but
as yet 1t Is not matter OF record that
these complaining companies have been
able to separate that publication from
any of its hard earned coin. This
great weekly doesn't appear to be
abashed at the suits and threats Of
suits but each week exposes an add.
tional fraud.

No, The REPUBLICAN has not
denied that a "lot Of republican lead

tax as they met, Just as democratic
leaders and laymen talked, but that
there was any great plan and con-

The plan on foot of makinga paving

meets with the hearty approval Of
nine-tenths of those questioned about
it, Since the plan was proposals it has
been said by some that the church
authorities could hardly see their way

and are opposed to this improvement
THE REPUBLICAN has inquired OF a
varied lot Of people as to their view
OF the matter, and not one has yet
been found who is not in favor Of that
walk being paved. There Is an in
clination to believe that the church
has so much money, or gets so much,
and spends all it gets in various worthy
causes. 1t is merely question as to
which cause gets IL at any particular
time. That this walk is a decidedly
worthy cause can hardly be doubted
