A. c. EXTRAVAGANZA. ca

l. G. Thoreson, in reply to David
Evans, OF Salt Lake, makes a very
strong point against the consolidation
lists who have insisted on the extrava-
gance OF the A. g. OF U, For instance,
MI Thoreson presents the appropria.
lions to both institutions for each
biennium since 1900, and notes that
the increase on the part OF the Uniyer-
s!ty has amounted to 81 per cent,
while the increase TO the A. c. OF u.
has amounted to but "a per cent. Mr..
Thoreson then shows that for its in
crease OF 81 per cent in appropra-
lions the University has attained an
increase in attendance of only rs per
cent, while the A O. of y. with its
"A per cent increase in appropriation
has increased its attendance ll.5 per
cent, Which school, now, has put its
money to the best use?
Another fact that should be brought
to the attention Of those who have
imagined that the a. c. OF U. has
been corraing about nine-tenths of
OF the taxes of the State, is that there
has not been time In the history OF
the two schools when the legislature
has not given the University twice as
much money as the A. G. of u. The
last session gave the college $40, 800
and the U. of U. 100000. What has
that school to show for the great sums
it has been receiving? Isn't it Il fact
that with the great sums at its dis.
posal the University is In such shape

The REPUBLICAN feels impelled to
again direct attention TO the necessity
of the proper authorities taking action
in the case OF that unfortunate Fifth
ward boy permitted TO roam the
streets al will During the past
month this simple minded lad has
been on the Logan streets constantly
racing up and down by the side Of
has frightened nervous women almost
out Of their wits and IT Is not alto
gether impossible that harm has been
done in way uncomfortable here.
Last Sunday this poor boy was fol-
lowed over the city for hours by a
crowd Of from ten to twenty boys who
did TO him many things for which
they should have the epidermis be-
meath the bosom OF their trousers fay
ed to blister. THE REPUBLICAN
sympathlzos deeply with the parents
and relatives of this unfortunate lad,
and this sympathy for them, as well
as cur regard for that which is due the
public, leads us to say that the boy
should be cared for properly, MUST be
cared for. If the family or authorities
do not take up this matter at once,
and in an effective way, THE REPUBLr-
CAN proposes TO treat this matter ip
a way calculated to get desired results.

GREAT IS CACHE.

1t is indeed strange that men should
get 1t into their heads that there are
greener pastures, more fertile land and
greater opportunities in a farming
way than are TO be found in Cache.
Yet, some do entertain such ideas and
occasionally some discontinued soul
pulls up stakes and goes to a supposed
land OF milk and honey. Not infre.
quently he returns, satisfied to live
and die in this veritable garden of
Eden. Quite recently a young man of
this valley in talking with Hon, David
Eccles said he was thinking OF going
from Cache to the Grand Rounde Val
ley. The distinguished sugar mag.
nate is reported to have replied:
young man, | have travelled much,
but never yet have seen land that
Is superior TO Cache Valley. Remain
where you are, be contented and II
you are industrious, you will do better
than you can do elsewhere"
Great, indeed, is Cache

The value OF franchises and the fool.

stance. Years ago, when that town was
in its infancy,the people were DESTROYS
of securing water system. David
Murray, OF Butte, prolIered to install
a system If franchise extending one
hundred years was granted him. The
council granted the franchise, and the
installation was made, at cost OF
100000 About three years ago, the
citizens Of Pocatello desired to buy
the system and asked the owners OF it
what they would sell for. After fig
uring for little while, the company
indicated that $1,000 would be re-
CURED The city Gid not see fit to
pay that sum and passed by the OPP
portunity to secure the water system.
Today the owners Of the Pocatello
water system consider their property
worth a half million dollars.
II is reported to US that each tap in
the city costs $3.50 per month. In
Logan, where the water system is
owned by the city, the same service
costs but s. per year
No city can afford TO give away its
franchises, nor TO sell them for any
small figure.

the west side of the valley. When we
consider the facilities Of Trenton, its
fine land, water, and railroad advan-
tages, we are led to predict n large
growth and great prosperity for the
Trentonites. Were we allowed to be
the judge, we would say that most OF
the farmers over there have too much
land now that they have the water

farming we believe better results
could be obtained. There is talk of

The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1906-08-22

In recent issue the Salt Lake Tri-
bune's Ogden's correspondent, per-
son evidently in sympathy with that
papers cantankerous position in most
matters, cast stone at the effective
ness OF the Agricultural College by
criticising the work OF Prof. +. ID.
Ball, who last year gave 1t as his opin-
ion that the white fly" would not
disturb the beets this year. A year
ago, Prof. Ball said that the white
fly" was drouth production, and now
because some kind OF an insect or dis.
ease has made its appearance in Web
er's tomato fields, the Tribune insists
that Balls opinions are worthless and
that high ideals entertained OF the
College are shaken. Inquiry OF the
sugar factory people reveals the fact
that the Weber beet fields are not dis
turbed by any white fly, and that the
crop this year will be fully twenty-five
per cent better than IL was last year.
In Cache county, where the fly de.
stroyed much OF the crop last year,
there is no sign OF fly as yet, and II
Is generally conceded that there is
every indication of an extraordinary
crop OF beets this year, In Cache, at
least, the prediction Of Prof. Ball is
verified in the fullest seuse up to date,
and we doubt not that it is largely so

Death 10 Angorn Goats

Angoras seem TO be able to stand
almost any degree of heat or cold,
provided they are furnished with a
shelter to keep them from getting
wet. They have proven hardy In Yer.
mont; in fact a flock that was lost all
one winter and turned up in the
spring, is testimony to their ability to
stand cold. The fact that they thrive
in Southern California and- Florida,
and in their native homes in Turkey

ficiently adapted to hot climates If
their range is in a damp low place,
however, they will surely die.--Fsrm.

covered sufficiently to start after them.
Similar deeds have thrown the south
ern republic into fit of fear and made
the mysterious quartette several thou
sand dollars richer.
Color is added to this story by the
announcement that one of the desper-
ADDE'S is woman, pretty little wo-
man, rs years old, with a gracefully
girlish figure, flashing eyes, regular
features, brilliant white teeth and a
mass of wavy hear. She is supposed
to be Longbaugh's wife. but nothing
is known of her pedigree or early
life. 1t was she who held the horses
in front of the Vile Mercedes hotel
while her three companions performed
the nasty work inside. She was dressed
in mems clothes.
The authorities of the southern re-
public are greatly excited by the out
RACES being committed with persist
ent frequency by the quartette. In
looking through old police documents
they found notification from the Pin
kerton National Detective agency that
band of North American train and
bank robbers had landed in Buenos
Ayres in 1901 and had taken up
permanent residence in the remote in
terror. This gang comprised Cassidy,
Longbaugh and the latters wife.
These were Joined later by Harvey
Logan. After touching at Buenos
Ayres the original trio took a steamer
for Bahia Blanca, and from this point
proceeded to an inland point called
Rawson. They then rode mules to an
almost inaccessible table land in the
province of Chibute. Here they are
supposed to have made their home,
raising cattle and farming. For rea-
sons known to them alone they have
again started their operations.

A HOME AS An INVESTMENT.

The homecoming spirit is becoming
prevalent in Grand Forks. Men who
had been paying rent for years and
years have suddenly become i'm
pressed with the advantages OF own
ing home of their own. 1t is good
investment, ii it did not have it's other
advantages.
AS to its advantages as an invest
ment. one case ir Grand Forks can
be cited as an illustration, though
there are perhaps hundreds.
A young man purchased a home ON
the first OF January last For years
OF his married life he had been
scratching to meet the landlord on
the first of each month. He bought
his home on the installment plan,
paying down very small sum. and
for the past nine months has been
paying out about $25 monthly on the
installment notes. Altogether. count
ing the first payment and the monthly
notes. he has paid out less than $3.50.
Recently he has had more than one
offer of $500 for his equity in the place.
In other words his $3.50 has increased
to $500 in nine months and he has had
his rent free.
1t Is duty man owes to himself
and his family to own a home. and it
is about the only thing in life man
can figure on using and enjoying and
still get his money back A lot we'll

taxes to pay, Is seldom sold at loss
to the owner, and when the pleasure
of its use is added to the selling price
most residences are sold at decided
profit. That which produces the most
happiness and comfort is the thing to
be first considered, and viewed in the
light probably no investment pays bet
ter dividends than q home suitable to
the income of its owner.
The spirit of home-buying is grow
ing active in Grand Forks 1t has
affected all classes and conditions OF
men and the result is shown in the
lively market for residence property.
One reason for this may be that
people are getting wise" to the fact
that In no other city of prominence
In the world Is residence property so
cheap as 1t is in this city. Another
important factor is the good which i'm
provement clubs and companies are
doing in all sections of the city in
identifying the waste places and en-
couraging civic pride. When a man
living on slovenly kept street sees
neighboring street improved and
made attractive by its residents. he is
apt to suggest the same plan to the
house owners along his own thorough
fare. and the general result is of in
calculable benefit to the city at large.
