MAY BE A NEW PAPER IN
LOGAN.

Logan, Utah, May 3Ist
Editor Truth
Dear Sir.
Your very proper and timely criti-
cism of the attitude Of Our Logan
papers toward the Agricultural Col
lege was read with interest by the
many subscribers for your able paper
and | assure you that your article
meets the hearty approval of the bust
ness men and the general public of
Cache County. The people as rule
are not in sympathy with the articles
which appear in Our local papers
with regard to that institution and
the course pursued by the Journal
in particular has caused many of the
prominent people to seriously consid-
er the propriety of starting an indie
pendent newspaper here that would
labor to build TIP the interests of the
county instead of tearing them down
and | feel assured that if the papers
continue the course that they have
been following in the past it will only
be short time until there will be an
other paper in the field. Already some
have been looking around for suit
able man to take charge of such an
enterprise. Our local papers do not
represent the sentiments and feelings
of the people and you can hear COM
plants all over the county about the
course they are taking in this and
other matters of general interest to
the people.
Wishing your interesting paper the
very best success, | am,
Very respectfully,
A LOGAN BUSINESS MAN.

THE TIMOROUS TRUSTS.

We find two especially comforting
items in the detailed statement of
foreign trade for 1906 Exports of
provisions, for the first time, hav-
ing increased ten per cent over the
preceding year and better than TWEEN
ty per cent over two years ago. Ex-
ports of petroleum also made a new
high record, topping eighty-fve mil
lions against only seventy-nine mill
ions the year before.

WHEN THE PUBLIC is GOOD.

The burst of modesty that expelled
Richard Strauss opera of Salome
from the Metropolitan Opera House
in New York has its amusing side
Somehow one can never take the
moral indignation of New York SER
iously; it seems incredible that
New York should draw the line any
where. No objection has ever been
made to Tristan and Isolde, and yet
the morality of the Wagner story
would not pass muster in police
court.
AS matter of fact, public morality
is probably more injured by these
spectacular bursts Of censorship than
improved. A Shaw play and Strauss
opera are shut out of New York on
account of their indecency, and thous-
ands who would never have heard of
either straightway deem it their duty
to make themselves familiar with the
contraband works of art.
Boston and Chicago clamor for the
privilege of testing them. They get
in short, big advertising. Whereas
if they had been let alone in the first
place they would have found their
way to the ash heap in due season,
along with much ill-smeling "art" of
the past. For nothing profoundly
immoral can survive, for the simple
reason that if it is really immoral
it is inhuman, and all art lives by the
humanity in it.
Considering the kind of reading
matter served up daily in the metro
politan press, considering that this
very season the nauseous evidence
in a celebrated murder case is print
ed to the last detail and read from
Maine to California, it seems little
over-zealous to get so hot under the
collar about the Strauss opera.

promising to assume responsibility
relating to the estate he represented
could be personally held, if witness
to such promise could be found The
statute declared that such a promise
must be evidenced by some note or
memorandum in writing signed by
the party to be charged, or by some
one lawfully authorized by him to
sign. Again, one could be held on
an oral promise to answer for some
body else's debt, default or miscar-
riagc. This the statute changed by
requiring written promise. One
could formerly be held to an oral
agreement made upon consideration
of marriage. This the statute chang
cd by requiring a writing. Also, one
could be held on an oral promise to
perform an agreement, no matter
how far in the future the perform
ancc extended. This was changed
so that oral agreements for a year or
less, and these only, were good with
out writing.
The effect of this statute, as you
will sec, was far reaching. 1t did not
declare such oral promises void or
illegal; but it did declare that no ac-
ton could be brought in court by one
man charging another with such a
promise unless proof could be made,
either by way of the agreement itself
in writing, or by way of some note
or memorandum of the agreement
signed by the party to be held, or
signed by some one lawfully author
lied by him to sign. 1t did not pre-
vent parties carrying out an oral con-
tract if they desired to do So and it
they did carry it ou- neither party
could recover back what he had paid
or have the transaction set aside
As to what sort of writing is re-
quired for the proof, it may be said
that if the contract itself was in writ
ing, that is sufficient proof. But the
contract itself need not to be in writ
ing. Anything in the way of men,
orandum, note, or letter, signed by
the party to be charged, wherein he
admits or acknowledges the contract,
provided this memorandum or note
contains sufficient data as to the
terms, will be good evidence. The
memorandum need not be in any par
ticular form; it may consist of let
ter or series of letters or telegram,
or series of kilograms, the condition
being that the writing be signed by
the party to be held, and that it con-
tains enough to make it sufficiently
clear as to the terms of the contract.
In most of the states the writing
need not express the consideration
for the contract. Where it is neces-
sary to express the consideration,
the words value received" are held
sufficient The wording of the stat
ute permits of the signature by an
agent.
Now, as to the bearing of this stat

may, therefore, be sold without writ
ing, provided the contract complies
with the other conditions of the
statute.
Sometimes the question arises
where there has been an oral bar
gain and the land has been actually
conveyed pursuant to it, as to whether
the conveyance will stand and the
seller can claim his purchase money,
Generally speaking, such a bargain
will stand and the seller may sue for
the price. If the price has been paid
and the seller refuses to convey, fall
ling back on the fact that the bargain
was an oral one, the only thing the
buyer can do is recover back his
money.
That part of the statute relating
to the promise of one person to ans
wer for the debt, default, or miscar-
riage of another will be considered
later when we come to the discussion
of guaranty and suretyship.
The regarding promises in consider
alton of marriage is very needful
one. Where marriage is being con-
sidered, loose arrangements are often
made with reference to property
which, without proper proof, are al
most certain to produce litigation.
The requirement that all promises
made in consideration of marriage be
made in writing does away with much
confusion and litigation. This stat
ute does not refer to mutual promis-
es of marriage. Mutual promises to
marry when made orally are good
An important part of the statute
refers to contracts that are not to be
performed within a year. The stat
ute requires that these be in writing.
1t applies to such contracts as cannot
by their terms be fully performed
within year from the making there
of. If the parties may or may not
pSi ipl Wllhlil yCdl IL uOCS uOl
fall within the statute If the con-
tract is to be performed on happen
ing that may or may not occur in a
year, it need not be in writing. Thus
an agreement to take care of an in
valid until the invalid RECEIVERS need
not be in writing, as the recovery
may take place within a year. An
agreement to support another during
life is not within the statute, for the
person may die within the year. The
statute does cover, however, such
agreements as relate to the employ
ing of people for year only, if the
service is to begin day later than
the date of the contract. Contracts
that provide for the paying of money
in installments, the dates of payment
running more than year, are not
enforcble without some memorandum
in writing evdencing them, and
signed by the party charged.
Perhaps the most important part
of the statute is that relating to the

Two drifts on this level are being run
east and west The drifts are III u

lead uarbonates and gaena are found,
AS these carry silver and copper values
the rock is considered good shipping

expected, VIII reach the porphyry dixie
