WE ARE GLAD TO LEARN 1T.

To say that we were screamingly
surprised is to put it mildly. We fair
ly dreamed of the change all night
Here is the cause thereof:
Editor Logan Republican. Logan
Utah.
Dear Sir
In yesterdays issue of your paper
under the heading: "A gymnasium
seems certain after treating the sub
ject at some length appears this par.
agraph:
ION the other hand, report has 1t
that the university will work to have
the amount cut down so that they can
get what they are asking for. The
fight will come in that quarter SO
far as the other people are concerned,
the general outlook is that all will
20 well with the asked for appropria-
ton"
Now it is with regreat that feel
compelled to say that the publishing
OF the above seems to be not only
entirely uncalled for, but seriously
unwise. almost vicious, and without
foundation in fact. have always
been friend of the University and
am quite familiar with that institu-
ton, its officers and methods of pro-
cedure, and at the same time | am
no less friend to the Agricultural
College, knowing the great value of
both, but | must confess that so far
as ! am informed, or have reason to
believe, and | think know something
of the situation. there can be nothing
further from the facts than the above
paragraph.
Every person in any way connected
with the University, whom | have
heard speak with reference to the
above subject, has expressed himself
in direct opposition to the unmerited
paragraph here referred to.
Neither the University nor its most
ardent friends and supporters, so far
as | know, have any fight whatsoever
on the Agricultural College, or any of
its interests Neither are they work,
ing against it or the much needed
gymnasium, but on the contrary they
are working for 1t and are among the
strongest supporters of the move
ment and the best kind of friends to
our worthy Agricultural College.
Iregret exceedingly that such 9
question should again be raised ant
especially by Logan paper profess
ing great friendship for the College
! had hoped that we might forget it
that is this question of contention, al
1t can do no good but might be in
furious to both the College and tn,
University and their worthy object,
and aims.
In conclusion let me say that
yield to no man as loyal friend o
the Agricultural College and the val
liable work it is doing for the state
and l most emphaticany affirm tina
the Salt Lake friends of the Uniyers
ity and members of the Legislature
from this section are among the hes
and most loyal supporters the Agricu
tural College gymnasium movement
has.
Let us bury this old and unwar
ranted clamor so deep that no on
win venture to remove 1t.
win you be kind enough to set u
right before your readers by publisI
ing this letter as it represents N
real position taken by us.
Yours very truly,
S, J, sTOOKEY.

Night Prowler
Leaves Letter After Being
Shot In Arm

Tuesday night about 11:30, r.
H. Malone woke up, and went out
to the kitchen for a drink of water.
He heard someone come up onto
the front porch of his home in the
southwest part of the city, and
waited for the visitor to knock.
The visitor did not knock, so Ma
lone went to the front door. The
prowler heard him coming and
went around the house. Malone
then went to the back door, and
there the fellow stood a few feet
away from the door. Malone then
went to his bedroom and securing
his revolver, which only had one
shell in it, went and opened the
back door. The fellow ran, and
Mr.. Malone shot at him with the
one shell. There was no further
disturbance that night. The next
morning, tucked in q creyice over
the door of an clubhouse, Mr.. Ma
lone found a letter written on a
scrap of paper torn from a pack
ing box which stood nearby. The
letter is poorly written with lead
pencil, and seems to have been
written with the left hand, in an
effort to disguise the writing The
letter follows:
Hello Stranger; You may
wonder who this is from, but |
won't tell you. | thot | would tell
you slept in your house Sat. night
and was there till nearly noon
Sunday, waiting for a chance to
get out, When you and your wife
drove away | crawled out of the
south window on the east side of
the house. | may visit you later.
A STRANGER.
On the reverse side of the paper
was written:
well, here is the same piece
of paper. but | have to write in
the dark. / thot I would come
again tonight but you spied me. ]
am sorry but you wounded me a
little in one arm. | guess | will
stay away from your house.
Goodbye"
Mr.. Malone and his wife drove
up to his fathers Sunday morning
leaving tteir home about 10 o'clock

They have no1 been annoyed since
and have no idea who the intruder
could have been. They found
nothing disturbed, so robbery was
evidently not the motive. SO far
as they know, they have no enc
mics here, and Mr.. Malone has had
no trouble whatever, with any of
the fellows he works with at the
Rock Island, 1t is their opinion
that their mysterious visitor was
one of the many hoboes who have
been hanging around town the past
week.
One night last week, Mrs. Abe
Long, on going home, heard some
one in the house and sent to the
home of Il. NJ. Malone for help.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. NJ. Malone, who
are the parents of r. H. Malone,
went TO the residence of Mrs.
Long, and as they opened the back
door, heard some one slam the
front door and run off the porch.
These disagreeable affairs only
impress upon people here, the ne
cessity of a good stiff yagrancy
ordinance, which we don't have at
the present time. The depreda.
tions of hoboes will probably con-
tinue until some measures are TAX
en- to eliminate that element from
the population of the city.

who overcome climatic conditions
by intensive farming and they
make it pay. Lone Star has never
known a failure and even this year
wheat made as high as 10 to IA
bushels per acre and tested 60
pounds. The Hoskinson brothers,
Charley Hawk, D. W. Scott,
Frank Green and several others
are making agricultural history
over that way. Give them half a
show and they will set a pace too
swift for their brothers in the east
who farm hundred dollar land.
Rose Valley is also doing things
this fall that bespeak an abundant
harvest next year. L. V. Gard
ner reports that the conditions for
sowing wheat are very favorable
and that the acreage will be in
creased. Bear reports hardly ever
come from Rose Valley and when
other sections of the country have
hard luck stories, the people out
that way talk prosperity and they
have a right to as they make it.
Obern has suffered on account
of the dry season but with admir-
able courage the farmers have
managed to keep that section on
the map and are coming back
strong. F. D. Odneal, the farmer
and postmaster of Obern says the
farmers up that way will put in
all the wheat they can get in. NO
opportunities will be overlooked
in the wheat line up in the Obern
neighborhood.
Reports from Antelope Valley,
Kismet, Hayne and the Blue Bell
district are not yet complete, but
enough information is at hand to
indicate that these points will GO
strong on the wheat proposition
this fall and with favorable condi-
tions show up with the best OF
them at harvest time. From all
points come reports of better prep
aration of land before seeding,
which, taken with the present
favorable conditions for getting
the plant started early, almost in

Owl Club Dance

The members and friends of the
Order of Owls have received dainty
invitations this week for the first
of series of dances to be given
by the Owl Club here. Many in
vitations sent only to the head of
the family, we are informed by
the committee in charge, are meant
to include the entire family. Won
Prosky's orchestra from Meade
will furnish the music Friday
evening, and a number of out of
town guests are expected for the
dance.

sures a bumper crop.

John w. Baughman, one of the
largest land owners in the county,
says the demand for wheat land is
stronger than it has been for ten
years and by furnishing seed he
has already leased over two thous-
and acres. Mr.. Baughman estim-
ates the total acreage for Seward
county at about $4,000 acres if
the demand for seed wheat is taken
care of. Stevens county is tine
banner broomcorn county of the
state and pays more attention to
this crop than wheat but there
will be a large acreage of wheat
sown this fall which will help swell
the total acreage in the Liberal
district.
As to the situation in Beaver
county, it is best told in the langu-
age of her most successful wheat
grower, &. S. Miller. of Floris.
Mr.. Miller says, Beaver county
is making great preparation for
big wheat crop. Farmers who
heretofore paid little attention to
preparation of land before seed
ing, have awakened to the idea
that to make success the land
must be handled scientifically, and
the wheat sowed about September
1st. The acreage in Beaver cOun-
ty will be more than last year, the
crop will be put in in much better
condition and the outlook for a
big crop next year is very en-
couraging." MIR. Miller's crop
averaged II bushels per acre this
year and tested sixty-one and a
half. He will increase his acreage
this year. Another wheat farmer
in Beaver county who is accom-
plishing things is j. X. Smith of
Beatrice. Mr.. Smith raised 100
bushels on 200 acres this year that
tests 81 pounds. Mr.. Smith will
also increase his acreage this year.
In summing up the situation, it
looks like a million bushel Weld in
] the Liberal district next year.

The solicitation of funds for the
float which will represent Liberal
at Hutchinson's state fair this
month has been placed in the hands
of Mrs. Jennie Karau and she has
been busy the greater part of the
week in raising the subscription
for the float. 1t is rather unfor-
tunate that this must be done be-
fore our fall business opens up,
for the donations are a trifle small
er than they would be a month
later. Already there is consider
able talk of haying a special train
from Liberal to Hutchinson for
one day of the fair, ard it is prob
able that the town and county will
have a big representation there
during the greater part OF the
fair. Rumors from Hutchinson
advise the early engagement OF
rooms for the days of the fair, and
it is even intimated that all of the
hotel Accommodations have been en-.
gagged for that week. The sub.
scription for a float so early is q
pretty good test of the loyalty Of
our citizens to Hutchinson and we
all feel proud to see it coming
along so well. The wet weather
has made it impossible to stage the
series of benefit ball games plan.
ned and that also has been a him
drance, but Liberal will come right
up to the head of the list in spite
of these difficulties. About $43C
has been subscribed for the float,
and the canvas has not yet been
completed.
