This particular whale came up un.

the crew The captain found himself
in the whales jaw, and, probably re-
calling Jonah, he wriggled out of his
unpleasant surroundings as quickly as
possible.
On relating his experience 10 some
friends after his return home, he was
asked.
Capt. Coffin, what did you think

What did think? thought he'd

hOweIl'S ARIZONA Strip"

Representative Howell, of Utah, in
telling of a trip he recently made to
the so-called Arizona strip, yesterday
said:
"The strip Is that portion Of Ari-
IONA between Utah and the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. / believe in
the annexation Of the strip to Utah,
and of the creation Of new national
park and game preserve there, the
President, in his latest message to
Congress, briefly refers to this latter
proposition and urges 1t. The strip
Is cut of from the balance of the
Territory to which IL belongs by the
Grand Canyon. II, when the Terri
tories of Utah and Arizona were
created, the geography Of this par
ticular section had been known, rs 10
Is known today, II Is certain that this
strip would have been included in
Utah's boundaries as nature intended.
1.-The effect on Arizonas population
or resources resulting from the loss
OF the strip has never been an ele-
ment in the opposition, for the reason
that not more than 125 people would
be affected !by annexation. The
inhabitants Of the strip favor annex
alton to Utah chiefly on account Of
the barrier separating them from the
capital. At present they are com
PEELED TO make a round trip Of nearly
300 miles, all overland, to do business
at the county seat, and this involves
crossing the Grand Canyon twice at a
point far removed from the direct
route.
From the nature Of the strip 1t is
certain the population can never
greatly exceed its present number.
This statement is rendered safe by
knowledge of the scarcity of water
and the utter impossibility OF getting
an additional supply there. As a re-
suit of this condition of affairs, Ari-
IONA would not lose anything of future
greatness by giving up the strip nor
would Utah gain much in acquiring
IL. The chief benefit would be to the
people Of the strip. They reside in
the town of Fredonia, about five miles
south of the Utah line and close to
Kanab, the county seat of Kane county.
The strip, isolated as it is from the
administrative control of Arizona, is a
rendezvous for outlaws and criminals,
and constant menace to the
towns of Southern Utah. There
is a certain portion of the strip ideally

not alone for the ad vantage that
might result TO us, but that the visit
ors may enjoy themselves the more,
may see the fairest and most attrac-
tive picture in the State of Utah
This valley at June.tide is beyond
compare in its natural beauty, and to
these business men, nine-ten.hs OF
whom, IL can be reasonably presumed,
have not been IN Cache Valley, would
find that a sight of this county under
favorable conditions would rest their
weary souls and give them a new lease
on life. II seems to be our fortune
here, however, that visiting bodies
from the southland come to us when
it is cold and the valley but a barren

Wall Street Honesty.

John Alexander Dowie. before he
set out for his Mexican colony, talked
about Wall street honesty. In con-
clusion he said:
Yes, my friend, the honesty OF

Subscription, Payable In Advance
THE CACHE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Journals reference to the re-
cent election in the Cache CONNER
cial was unintentonaly incorrect in
certain instances. Whatever there
was amiss is difficulty which those
who have the clubs interest at heart
will seek to rectify, and it is believed
that provision will be made against
any future contingency of like kind.
The clubs first year while not marked
with brilliant achievement, has been
most gratifying to those who under
stand that the first year OF any or
ganization is necessarily matter Of
experiment.
For the past twenty-five years per-
sonal and political interest has been
so strongly manifest in Logan's public
life that the city's interests have
necessarily suffered, and IL can not
be said that the Cache Commercial
Club has in the single year Of its cx-
istence cemented the various conflict
ing interests. 1t is also true that the
club has not been able to convince
various individuals that the Cache
Commercial Club Is an institution
designed for public good and not rs a
vehicle to further personal interests,
but IL can be said however, that
political interest has not yet cut a
figure.
To work in year complete reform
or revolution In sentiment and action
that has controlled individuals and
interests for many years is a work too
stupendouS for any organization, but
with the excellent start made In 1905,
it is within the possibilities that the
broad minded spirit manifest on the
part OF most may accomplish splendid
things along this line In 1905. There
is no reason for Encouragement so far
as the Cache Commercial Club Is con-
cerned, for there are sufficient num-
Der of capable, intelligent men cog
INFANT of the necessity OF conducting
the club along broad lines, to work
out eventually any seeming difficulty.
The club is in good financial shape, has
pleasant home, is well organized and
needs new only more active committee
work to make IL of the greatest ser.
vice.
The officers of the club need the
the presence of the individual men,
bers at the club meetings, would ever
appreciate suggestions for the climbs
betterment, and it is certain that II
the club rooms were occasionally
visited by the members for whose
benefit they are kept supplied with the
best current literature, kept warm,
clean and generally comfortable,
nothing but good could result.

HON. JOS. HOWELL
ON THE STRIP"
Tells Washington Post
About Annexine Same.
Reason Why Utah Should
Have Control.

Congressman Howell who has from
the. beginning advocated the annexa-
ton OF the Arizona strip to Utah,
Is keeping up his fight for this annexa-
ton and though there are those who
oppose him. it is believed probable
that the present Congress can be
made to see the advisabilily Of the
annexation. The matter Of taking
territory from one state and adding TO
another is not a light one and Con-
gresham Howell as the champion Ct
this cause is continually besieged by
those who desire to be shown. The
Washington Post recently interviewed
Mr.. Howell on this subject, and be-
lieving that his expressions on the
subject will be of interest to readers
of THE REPUBLICAN we here present
the article entire from the Post, which
Is at hand. That paper says:
