LOGAN MURMURs.

LOGAN MURMURS.
| Russell and Ralph Gard, Mr.. Fin
ney and Art Gilman left Logan on
Thursday in search, like the Israelites
of old, Of the Promised Land, They
will cover many miles, enjoy the ex-
hilerating effects of life in prairie
schooner, and return in few weeks
to the charms of civilization, ready
to boost the claims of Logan and vi
cinity A pleasant journey, varied
experience and speedy return, their
friends would wish.
Elmer Cook and friend Finney re-
turned last week from an extended
tour through the Bad Lands, combin-
ing business with pleasure. The wan
derlust has been pronounced among
the enterprising but travel but serves
to emphasize the superiority of LO-
gan on the 500. One appreciates the
possibilities the home environment at
fords.
Miss Nellie Ross and one of the
handsomest young men Logan boasts
were viewing crop conditions in this
vicinity in a buggy built for two. The
identity should not be hard to dis
cover.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rob Waldref are re-
joicing DER the advent of a charming
little baby girl.
Mr.. H. c. Kuchenbecker, with Mas
tiers Leicester and Norval Warner,
visited the old homestead on Wednes-
day. A long trip for Pegasus but the
genial Herman would be quite at
home patching it-for a night any
way.
Miss Merne Hecker and Miss Mil
dred Cook have reached one Of the
milestones in life's journey by obtain
ing diplomas for the completion Of the
first course of education. We under
stand Miss. Hecker will continue the
higher branches at Surrey.
Jim Egan is farming the Kuchen-
becker place south of the Magic City.
Logan now has ball team which
| will help make her famous among
the fans.
Mrs. Ole Saugstad is, we are sor-
ry to learn, still troubled with rheu-
matte affection and is at present un-
not A speedy recovery and return
|
Carl Ross, the popular north prairie
young bundle of enterprise, was heard
gently humming, with far-away ex-
preston, snatches from a touching
| song. "Day Dreams of Happiness
Again in Store, Passed in the Won
derland Of Love Untold" 1t is in the
neighborhood of the state to which
the IL per cent philanthropist will
journey to select young dairy cattle,
security being o. k.
Jack Whitson was local visitor on
Wednesday, accompanied by the same
CHEEKY smile.
Building operations for the Egan
residence are progressing rapidly. A
residence which when completed will
contain every modern convenience.
Ezra Nulph has been busy beauti-
flying the exterior of his bungalow.
The Union Ladies Aid held most
successful meeting at Hecker, despite
the absence of Logan's elite, who find
either the hot weather oppressive
or the lunch unattractive. A dainty
appetizing lunch was provided, much
good work accomplished and inane
gossiping avoided.
Since the local milk peddler has
discontinued delivering the aristoc-
racy, a certain amount OF exercise
has become necessary to obtain the
tactical fluid.
Logan is to celebrate July 4th in
fitting manner. Baseball, sports,
fve-act play entitled "The New Min
ister," by Miss Pauline Phillips, fol-
lowed by dance with good music and
floor, midst the beautiful scenery
which, 60 where you will, cannot be
surpassed, should afford all pleas
ant time.
Will Humphrey is making consider
able improvements and additions to
his already commodious barn.
Mrs. Tabler has been a sufferer of
late from rheumatic trouble. The
best wishes Of the community are
with her.
As result of the school election
Thorwald Mostad was reappointed
director and Rob Waldref unanimous
ly chosen treasurer. The proposition
to sell the King School was negatived.
The tendency of legislation of late
has been lin the opinion of army
farmers, opposed to their interests,
in so far as Minot is concerned, and
there is without doubt growing re-
sentiment as consequence. The hay
market might as well be located in
Logan, and should farmer innocent
! ly offend against this bylaw, the
brusque, discourteous commands of
some petty minion of the law, who is
capable, perchance, of puncturing
cans of those seeking cleanliness, is
sufficient to raise the bile of any self
respecting taxpayer, who supports
such. We know of several instances
recent and beyond bubble, in which
farmers have been made to feel that
their dollars, rather than they Minot
welcomes. The absence Of q central
market place, convenient hitchine
points and rest room are noticeable
| Minot is city, but God forbid that
she should be forced to look Tor hel
support, let alone progress, to thu
motley crowd who as curb stone rea
estate dealers, gamblers, and vel
ldreSSpd mysteries narade her MAR
