The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1916-05-30

Deliberately the colonel took his
place in front Of the rostrum He
was given wildly enthusiastic
greeting. While the cheering was in
progress he stood calmly wiping his
big head awaiting the restoration of
order. The crowd seemed to feel
that something unusual was about to
happen. II was an anxious moment
for the Harrison cohorts. lngersoll
surveyed his great audience slowly
and then in strong rich voice, each
word carefully measured, spoke the
two sentences quoted above.
The effect was electric. Seventeen
words had literally swept the audi
ence of its feet Every man and ev-
cry woman stood up and cheered.
There were three minutes pehaps of
genuine applause. Then when II be.
gan to subside the Harrison claQuers
would renew the cheering. These
tactics were continued fer 1--WE min
utes. Ingersoll attempted to resume
his speech. Immediately his voice
was drowned by the noise, which
proceeded mainly from the floor OF
the convention hall Each time the
colonel tried to speak the uproar
was renewed. At last, after at least
half a dozen fruitless attempts to
proceed he retired in disgust.
A motion to adjourn until -four
o'clock in the afternoon was declar
ed carried by the chairman. When
the convention reconvened cable
gram from Blaine declining the nom
nation was read and Harrison was
named.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1916-05-30

The sixteenth national convention
of the Republican party, which will
meet in the Coliseum in Chicago on
June z, will be one of the most in
teresting and exciting gathering ever
held by that party. Excitement will
be intensified because Of the uncer-
tainty of the nominee. When the
first ballot Is taken there will be a
dozen men voted for, any one OF
whom may subsequently be the for
tunate one. II Is conceded that all
of these have chance, some better
than others.
Another thing that tends to add
interest is the attitude of the Pro-
eressive party. The split of 1912
is wildly recalled. Will the two
factions get together this year, or
will there again be third ticket?
The history Of this split is well
known. Theodore Roosevelt, who
had served one term of his own and
three and a half years OF Mckin-
ley's second term after the latter's
assassination, unQualifiedly Endorsed

Pennsylvania's support, gained rs.
While the third ballot was being
counted a hush fell on the convention
II was known that Lincoln was eth.
er nominated or very close to It. The
count showed him to be but two and
half votes short of u majority,
with 23l IL votes, $50 for Seward
and so scattering.
At this juncture Chairman Carter
of the Ohio delegation mounted n
chair and called out, | rise to an
nounce the change of four votes from
Ohio from Mr.. Chase to Abraham
Lincoln. AS soon as II was realized
that this gave Lincoln the nomina.
tion an uproar broke forth. An i'm.
mense charcoal likeness OF Lincoln
was unrolled from the rear gallery,
and the entire audience and conven-
ton, with the exception of the New
York delegation, INDUCED in the wild
est enthusiasm for some minutes.
When order was restored there were
other changes that gave Lincoln a
total of 1854.

ASHLEY COCKRI[L
 HAD CLOSE CALL
WAS PASSENGER IN TRAIN ON WABASH WHICH WAS BLOWN OFF THE TRACK BY A
 CYCLONE

Ashley Cockrill, of 3820 Prospect avenue, one of the states most prom inent attorneys, had narrow escape last Friday when a cyclone struck a train on the Wabash on which he was travelling, near Saunemin, III. The Pullman in which he was riding was not damaged, but four coaches were blown from the tracks and twenty people were injured. He says it was a most exciting adventure, and that it is a miracle there were not many fatalities. The train was going about 60 miles an hour when the storm struck. Speaking of the freak of the wind, MT. Cockrill said:
 "One very stout woman, who, l know, could never have crawled through the window, was picked up by the wind, carried out through the window and deposited on the bank of the track without a scratch or a bruise."

TOTAL OF 66,2oo FEET OF PIPE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR COM
 PLETlON OF SERVICE.
PROSPECT AVENUE PAVING
Plan Provides That Cost Shall Be Borne By Street Railway, City, County and Large Property
 Owners.

Alderman John P. Streepey, in dis cussing the proposed sewer district, made the following statement to the editor of the Pulaskian:
 "One of the greatest needs, if not the greatest need in Pulaski Heights, is an adequate, comprehensive and permanent sewer system. For the past five years this has been matter of grave discussion in the former town council of Pulaski Heights and among the property owners with large in- terests. Recently the state health of ficer has indicated that the present method of sewage disposal must be abandoned; that is, the use of septic tanks. If the health officer takes ac- tion to enforce this ruling it will mean that the persons having sewer facili- ties will be without them. In other words, they will have no sewer ana the immediate necessity for a sewer age system becomes apparent.
 Knowing this to be the present condition, and feeling that immediate steps must be taken to relieve this situation at the earliest possible date, the two aldermen from Pulaski Heights prevailed upon the mayor to give them the services of sanitary engineer, Col Theo Hartman, to un- dertake preliminary investigation as to the feasibility of forming sewer ,l; x, ,ol, needs of the Ninth ward for many years to come Col. Hartman has just completed his preliminary work and has submitted his preliminary esu- mate of the costs and expenses of the proposed district His plat shows that approximately two thousand lots can be connected in one sewer system and drained into the river at Worthen s Bayou at point below the intake of the Water Company. This will fur nish adeouate sewer facilities for by far the greater part of the Ninth ward The work in the district Wii be put through on basis that Will De permanent and lasting. The engineer is satisfied that these mains will give adequate service for forty or fifty years and be sufficiently large to care for the needs of the Ninth ward for that length of time. It is proposed to put in line of mains and furnish lateral service to unsewered lots so that no lot will be further than three hundred feet from a lateral, but most lots will be very much nearer
 Some knowledge of the amount or work involved may be gained from the fact that it is estimated that IL will take 6,4O0 feeet of fifteen-inch sewer pipe, 1000 feet of twelve-lncn pipe, s,400 feet of ten-inch pipe, ll,4oo feet of eight-inch pipe, and 3S,OOO feet of six-inch pipe, making grand to-
