ness complications. While we
do not wish to bore our read
ers with matters in which they
may not be particularly interest
ed, yet we feel that they should
know just why the suit was
brought against Turner and
Vaughan by VIM. III. THAN.
1t is well known that N. II.
Moore and +. Turner held lease
on the Logan Republican plant
which is still valid for over
year and a half. They also owned
large amount of stock in the
Logan Newspaper Co. Nearly
three months ago Mr.. Moore ex-
pressed desire to sell his inter-
est i'm the lease and his, stock in
the company. II. Bullen, Jr., and
Jos. Odell had the first oppOrtun-
ity to buy out his interests, but
after haggling for over three
weeks finally gave it up, leaving,
Mr.. Moore to sell out finally At
gain of 80 per cent over <heir
offer. Before this, howe<er, Mr..
Moore had decidedfo buy a
fhratype and -asnt the boys to a
finish, as he felt that he was be-
ing dealt with unfairly.
Offer to Hendrickson and
Others.
About this time he called on j.
A. Hendrickson, explained mat
tiers to him. and made him the
same offer. With Judge Vaughan,
Attorney A. A. Law, and County
Clerk j. s. Larsen, he investigat-
ed matters and concluded by Of
fering Mr.. Moore the fair price
which he accepted. They then
thought his interest ine the lease
for the benefit of the paper and
the people, seeing that it was a
good business venture and be-
lieving that it would be condu-
Give to harmony in the party.
With Mr.. Turner, at the present
time, they own over one-half of
the issued, outstanding, capital
stock of the company.
Why They Bought.
Before ever deal was made
it was understood that the paper
should maintain its past up
to-date standard of always stand
ing for the right politically, So
cially and religiOusly. 1t would
work for the interest of Logan
and Cache county, for its schools
and institutions, and for it's Re-
publican voters. Every effort
was to be made to increase its
circulation and its influence for
good.
Our Assets.
The assets of the above named
gentlemen are represented by
real estate, accounts, stock on

at not less than $4,000. $1,000

AT MARTINS HILL
Today'sFfne View Of the River
Flood From There.
Waters Appear Peaceful Like q
Lake.
WIDTH OF TWO MILES.
Covers the Farms Around the
Village Of Menoken.
Little Debris Carried Down by
Swollen Waters.
10TH OF TWO MILES.

1t was almost impossible to get
good view of the flood of 1903 On &C.
count OF the mist and fog which en-
shrouded the flooded district It was
only after the waters had receded con-
slderably that view Of the Kaw val
ley could be obtained from the state
house. the top of the federal building
or any other point Of observation. To-
day, however, when the river here is
almost at its maximum height the at
mospheric conditions are good and the
view unobstructed for miles up and
down the Kaw
with the aid of field glasses one could
see distinctly up the river beyond
Rossvflle.
Probably the very best view of the
flooded Kaw valley in this vicinity is
from Martins Hill on top of which is
Cedarcrest, Frank p. MacLennan's
country home. 80
Many sightseers visited the hill yes
terday and today and witnessed the
| wonderful view of the flooded Kaw.
The aspect Of the present flood is
entirely different from that of 1903
chiefly perhaps on account of the
weather. For with sunshine and a blue
sky it seems impossible for the valley
| Of the Kaw to be other than beautiful.
Even under the conditions now exist
| ing the view from Martins Hall is
grand, but five years ago, wrapped in
| mist and gloom, it was sinister and
terrible.
The first comment Of a spectator of
both floods was on this marked diff
ference.
The stencil from the river five years
ago was Sickening; the stream was a
raging torrent filled with every sort of
s debris and the drift wood was often
a precarious raft for living freight, the
domestic animals which had taken
refuge on it. Today from Martin s
+. Hill the Kaw was not unlike a great
/, peaceful lake. dotted with boat houses,
the farm buildings. which appeared to
be floating on its surface.
Under that smiling sky and with the
peaceful and beautiful view to the
south it is impossible to think of the
great expanse of water as frightful
agent Of destruction. The sight seer
expecting to be Mortified is disap-
| pointed.
| In width the river lacks something
| of the Kaw in the first week of June
1903. Opposite Martins Hill it is only
about two miles wide. The water is
we'll up around Menoken, the Upde-
graft farm is today like an embowered
t.island, and all up and down the val
| ley occasional fields of wheat and oats
are out of the water, although entire
ly surrounded Beyond the northern
boundary of the swollen stream there
are many scattered ponds dotting the
farms at the foot Of the bluffs. Five
years ago this land was entirely COW
cred, with only the buildings and the
highest trees emerging me river
stretched from bluff to bluff.
Silver Lake is plainly seen with the
naked eye today. The river at this
point is broken out of its banks and
overflows the old river bed connecting
with the lake.

ROW OVER BONNETS.
Threatens to Disrupt the DunlSard

Brethren (Dunkards) and in position

sentiment in the church body are mis-
taken a schism of no little import
threatens to break in the conference
now in progress at the fair grounds
While there are mutterings against
several of the iron clad rules of the
sect the attention of the church and
the heated discussion will center in the
growing inclination of the girls to fore
sake the conventional bonnet which the
Dunkard women are required to wear
for the more ornate hat Of the lay wo-
man.
The elders do not publicly admit that
the discussion borders on general un-
rest or that it threatens the peace Of
the conference. But they do admit
that church heads in certain Ohio COM
munities who are said to have relaxed
their supervision of the girls in their
charge may be reprimanded. 1t is said
formal charges may be preferred
against two churches in Ohio that may
end in their withdrawal from the moth
or church or in their expulsion there
from unless their pledge is given to
carry out the laws of the organization
to the letter.

their electoral votes to the republi-

While Taft reads the letters with in

that there is a hope of carrying
Georgia with the feeling on the part
of the writer which is father to the
thought. Intense feeling against
the policies Of Hoke Smith in that
state are looked upon as the found
alton of the bitterness of the Georg-
ia democrats towards the election
of Bryan, as they look upon Bryan
and Smith as representing the same
ideas. From Maryland especially
Taft has large number of advices
from democrats that they expect to
see the state go republican and that
there will be many democratic votes

STANDARD OIL
BEGS FOR MERCY
One Act of President That Brings
Him Approval

Washington, July lS.-If Theo-
dore Roosevelt had never done any
thing else during his administration
as president of the United States,
it would be quite sufficient to know
that he had brought the Standard
Oil Company, the once powerful and
arrogant system" down to its mar
row bones begging for mercy.
This is exactly what has happened
within a short time. The Standard
Oil company, staggered by the inn
position Of the fine of $29, 900, 900,
imposed upon it by Judge Landis of
Chicago, and fearing a similar out
come to other suits still to be tried,
has been begging for mercy. 1t has
not been generally known that no
less person than John ID Archibold
vice president Of the Standard Oil
company and executive officer of
that great institution, actually visit
ed the White House before Presi-
dent Roosevelt retired to Oyster
Bay and made proposition for a
compromise. He was accompanied
by Senator Bourne of Oregon. and
several other people took part in the
negotiations.
The Standard Oil proposed, in eff,
feet that the, government should
consent to a nominal fine in each one
of the cases, on the principal that
this was the first offense, or at least
that it was the first case to be public
ly prosecuted.
What the president was after was
to root out terrible evil. He want
ed to prevent the Standard Oil COM
pany. as we'll as similar corporations
from violating the law against the
giving and receiving of rebates. 1t
was the general principal of the
thing the administration was after,
and there was therefore. DISPOSE
tion to accept plea of guilty by the
Standard Oil corporation, with the
infliction of nominal fine, coupled
with q promise to go and sin no
more.
During the conference Attorney
General Bonaparte and other officers
of the department of justice were
consulted. The infence of the legal
branch of the government was
thrown against any compromise.

tai where he was taken. The acci-
dent occurred inside the yards and it
