Operation.

logan people are looking forward
to the early completion Of the street
railway system" said Fred Turner.
manager of the Logan Republican and
one Of the Cache valley city's bigEes
boosters, last night at the Wilson hotel
The cars would have been running
probably by this time but for the sever
ity of the weather. The poles are up
and the wires strung, and 1T won't be
long now until we have a real metro
pOiitan air about us
Logan and all of Cache valley is ex-
ceedingly prosperous. The general con-
dltion is reflected in the fact that from
so to IS per cent of this years wheat
and corn crop is still in the farmers
bins. That demOnEtrates that the far
mer did not have to sell his crop, but
is able to hold it to advantage.
THE sugar beet crop is practically
in. Last months payment for beets
was unprecedented, one factory alone
paying out $4,000"

RELATIVES FILE
 SUIT OVER WILL

Indianapolis, December .2.--Upon the information that the woman known as Elma Dare, formerly Mrs George Rho- dius, had in her possession a second will of Rhodius, millionaire who died on Monday, supposed to convey his for tune to her, she was made code fendant late today in a suit filed by relative of Rhodius to prevent the pro- batting of any will by him.
 Many attorneys today notified the pro- bate court that they represented rela- tives far and near that wished to stand in the way of will being filed on the ground that Rhodius was insane and his relatives are all entitled to share in his estate.
 Rhodius' funeral was held this after noon.
 Portions of the brains of Rhodius were taken to the laboratory of pathologist by authority of the probate court and his report upon the condition of the tis- sues may have an influence in the dis- position of Rhodius fortune.
 Alienists have been divided as to whether or not Rhodlus was insane since his alleged abduction to Louisville three years ago and his marriage there to a woman of this city known as El. mer Dare. The woman's appeal to the Indiana supreme court from lower court of the marriage on the ground that Rhodius was insane now IS pend

LYNCH SENDS OUT
 NOTE TO UMPIRES

New York, December 22.-Thomas J. Lynch, the new president of the Ma tional league sent out a letter today to his six veteran umpires-Hank O'Day, Bob Emslie, Steve Kane, James F. John stone, William J. Klem and Charles Rig ler-asking them to communicate with him as to where most of their troubles with the players originated last season and whether coaches, managers or bench warmers were primarily at fault.
 President Lynch hopes 10 curtail thc friction that has existed in the past be- tween the referees and t1e players. His letter says in part:
 As a National league umpire 1 want you to answer to the best of your abil- ity this question: Where did most of your trouble with the ball players last season come fron-the team playing the game, the coaches, the managers, Or the players sitting on the bench?
 AS your answer will have important bearing on some reforms for both unl- pires and players that I wish to make in the running of the game on the dfa- mond next season. I want to give this question careful attention"

 ferred against pr. Cook by some of the members and presented ro the directors for consideration.
 Dr. Cook Is a member of the execu- tive committee of the club.
 Rudolph Kersting. newly elected treasurer of the club who accompanied pr. Cook on the Greenland expedition ill 1894 and 1901 to Alaska, preached the subject of pr. Cooks membership. He argued that the University of Copenhagen. after & studied and thor ougi investigation, had declared Dr. Cook an imposter, and he favored i'm mediate steps to dismiss him from the club.
 By his hoax he has disgraced the Orctic club said Mir. kersting.
 Instantly the meeting was thrown into an uproar and the debating that ensued was long and stormy
 It was learned that not more than two or three members at the most sup ported pr. Cook outright. Dr. Roswell o. Stebbins, who was the leader in or ganizing the Cook relief expedition be- fore the explorer was heard from, urged that 1t was too serious a matter to dispose of hurriedly and that the regular course of presenting formal charges for the consideration of the board of directors should be followed.

Washington, December 22.-Ietters bearing the Red Cross Christmas stamps will be accepted in Germaay whether af- fixed to the face or back of letters from this country, according to the announce ment of Count von Bernstcrff, German ambassador to the United States.

The postal authorities of Great Britain took similar favorable action several days ago.

Pipe Companies Add to Orders
 and Want More
SOME SOFT SPOTS EXIST
Competition Develops In the Cleveland and Pittsburq Distrcts-RaiI Sales Are Not Very Large at
 Present.

Cleveland, Ohio, December 22.-(Spe- cial 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomor- row will say:
 In addition to the heavy sales of pig iron made to pipe companies last week, some additional tonnages have been pur- chased and these companies are anxious to secure more of the lower grades The general price of No. foundry iron, Bir- mingham, is now $14 for the first quar- ter and this price can be made to cover the first half.
 There are some soft spots in the mar ket and in the Pittsburg and Cleveland districts there has been some rather sharp competition, the minimum quota tons being on a base of $17 Valley for No. ?.
 The Illinois Steel company reports rail sales of S1,o00 tons in addition to the Illinois Central tonnage. previously re- ported. Purchases by the Hartman lines since June amount to over 290,000 tons It is noteworthy, however. that purchases of steel rails by eastern lines this year have been limited Many railroads have confined their buying largely to rolling stock, on which prices have been low.
 In the eastern territory DO very large contracts for structural material have been placed, but the aggregate tonnage of small orders is good. A Chicago con tract for the Southside baseball park, 1000 tons, has been taken by George W. Jackson, and the Boston Store addition in that city Four thousand tons have been awarded to the South Halsted Street Iron works The placing of the contract for the municipal building. New York. N. Y, involving 25.0oO tons, on which the Thompson Starrett Co. was the lowest bidder, has been held up by an injunction.
 It has been decided by important Lake Superior ore interests that there will be an advance of 30 cents Der ton on Bes- semer grades and that there will be no change in the base guarantee of iron content of either Bessemer or non-Bes- semer grades.

Nansen Breaks Silence.

Christiana, December 22.-Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian arctic explorer. today broke his long silence and talked of the controversy.
 Tt is my opinion." he said, that Cook is no longer interested. He is practically a dead man and ought to vanish from the consideration of the world. I never trusted him, for tne first report he made did not inspire confidence, especially his statements made concerning the distance of 14 seconds from the pole. This proved that Cook was ignorant of the simplest principles of economical observations. Even his later reports contained notu- ing of value. On the contrary, they were filled with improbabilities and contradictions.
 From the first I was unable to sup port Dr. Cook. I therefore preferred to keep silent. As for Peary, never doubted his veracity, although I did not approve of his behavior after his return. However, it is easy to under stand his indignation. At least he is man, and there is no comparison be- tween him and Cook"

Some Comfort For Dancs.

Copenhagen. December 22.-The morn ing papers generally find comfort for the Cook affair in the thought that the only fault that may be charged against the Danes is that they accepted the ex- plorer's word as that of a gentleman. The Politiken says:
 Frankly we regret only that an hon. orary degree was bestowed upon this man by the University of Copenhagen. But one member of the university council advised against the action taken
 The Koebeneaven says:
 Cooks abasing of our university is his greatest shame. Fortunately the uni versity itself tells the world of tYs mis- take"
 Other papers recall that all the Scan dinavian explorers who were acquainted with Cook supported him and insist that under the circumstances any other city would have given the explorer a similar reception. They intimate that at the time other cities envied Copenhagen its opportunity to first welcome and honor him.
