The End degree was conferred upon
four applicants. One petition for re-

The lodge is in fine working order
and the degree of harmony existing is
very gratifying even to the most ardent
members and it is earnestly hoped
that nothing may arise, to in any way
disturb the harmonious progress that
has been growing for quite awhile.
All brothers should know more of the
aims and objects Of the order and in
true and fraternal spirit strive to live
up to the teachings of the order, both
in the lodge and our daily works of life.

heard of case the other day,
which was vouched for. A man living
in nearby town has wife and thir-
teen children. A farmer of affluence.
He went into a shoe repairer's shop
and threw down dozen pairs of
shoes. The owner of the shop said,

Logan went dry | do my trading else

which had right to. But now
stay away, send away for my refresh
ment trade at the town nearby, and
cut out Logan entirely as far as
trade is concerned" This man fire..
quently had shoe repair work done,
averaging about $40 per month.

are many such.

Moreover, II one needs a little

no. Can he get 1t from druggist. OF

ironclad agreement which will not be
broken to their best friends. Then II
the general citizen cannot get 1t
through any of these avenues, he has
got to get it Wholesale or by stealth,
and Logan City is thus robbed of its
Just revenue.
Now as to the one saloon town.
Would It not be better TO have one
place where liquor could be secured
in case of absolute need, where 1t
could be under the supervision of the
city government, especially when we
are going into the commission form,
and where the very character OF the
place would be kept up to the acme
of respectability, than that the man
should become a criminal? Reason
would say, Yes"
Salt Lake and Ogden will never
go dry. You can bank" on that. But
It will be to their benefit to keep
every town in Utah dry so they can
reap revenue from these places. BY
Theoretically sealing our doors to
the sale of liquor we are building up

TEARS. BITTER TEARS,

We have up to the present time
done all in our power to support and
uphold the administration of Mayor
John II, Anderson. We supported him
for the position that he occupies and
had confidence in his wisdom and
judgment. We propose to still support
him when he gives the party that
elected him to office their just dues.
When he does not give that party to
which he is responsible due consider-
alton we reserve the right to voice
our protest. II the action of the mayor
in naming successor to the present
marshal last Wednesday evening was

conditions are such that out of ten
hundred ninety eight Republicans thar
voted for the mayor not one could be
found that was capable of filling the
office of Chief OF Police; If the may.

those who worked for him and were
responsible for his election, is to ap'
point his party's enemies, then we
say ii is time to weep for the Repuh-

PETERSON-EAMES.

Medley" PeterJoa h. who for some
time has been known as Marshal Pc.
terson has been shelved at last. The
action of the mayor and city council
on Wednesday evening is the cause
for "Neeley's" RELOCATION to private

ing tab on the situation IL they will
refresh their memories they will re-
call that Medley" was not elected at
the last city election. A law had been
previously passed doing away with the
election of n city marshal, and plac-
ing the office of chief OF police at
the disposition of the mayer, subject
to the confirmation of the ciuncil. The
city council after the election of Hon.
John II. Anderson happened to be
equally divided, and when the mayor
submitted his choice for chief of
police the five Democrats said nay.
The mayor tried in every honorable,
conceivable way to fix the matter up
by meeting the Democrats half way
but to no avail. During the session o.
the legislature the law was amended
so that in cities where the council Is
made up OF an even humber one half
of the council is sufficient to confirm
an appointment of the mayor, and
create a liability against the city. 1t
is by virtue of this statute that the
mayor and council left the council

their belts.

SPRING is HERE.

The old rhyme we have heard all
our lives, and which was probably in
existence long before we were born,
March winds and April showers
Bring forth May flowers" ha nle
seems likely to hold good this year
We had our March winds-some Of
them in April, it's true, but we had
them-and now it is the turn for
spring showers. For the. past few
days there has been nothing to COM
plain of, if it's rain you're wanting.
These showers will make the grass
fine in the hills, and the flowers will
soon be with us, another result of
these showers. The purple anemones
are thick on the gentle slopes up the
Animas valIey-the dainty blossoms
with thick collars of silvery fur, which
the children call "wind flowers" be-
cause they come so early, and bloom
in spite of cold March winds. Their
petals are well protected. Purple out
side with a silvery down for warmth,
and lined inside with white satin. Why
should the anemones care for the
cold? They can shut their petals
right up on cold days, and be as snug
as possible. When one begins to no
tice them, Dame Nature has a great
