Iowa Republican Elected.

New York, Nov. 11.-With returns
missing from only one congressional
district in the United States, the Re-
publicans and Democrats each had
elected 215 representatives.
The vote in New Mexico, which is
still in doubt, probably will determine
which party is to have. plurality Of
one over the other. The present mem
Der from New Mexico is a Repub-
lican.
The balance of power in the next
house will be held by four men, one
a Progressive Protectionist from Lou
isiana, one an Independent from Mas
sachusetts, one a Progressive from
Minnesota and the other a Socialist
from New York.

The action of these members ap-

In addition to the hope of electing

Mexico, the Democrats had one grain
Of comfort. 1t was that an official
count may disclose that Thomas j..
Scully has been reelected from the
Third New Jersey district. They con-
tended the chances were that Scully
had been the victor by few votes
over Robert Carson, his Republican
opponent, to whom the election pre-

Reversal in iowa.
A reversal in Iowa, where complete
returns showed the election of George
G. Scott, Republican, over Congress-
man Tom Steele in the Eleventh dis
trict, and the election of Republicans
in the Second and TAird West Virginia
districts, brought about the present
tie.
The reversal in Iowa makes that

Owing to the climatic conditions
there is no better place in the world
for the raising of poultry. Many
diseases that are serious menace
in the more humid sections are little
known here and the average egg pro-
duction is at least one and one-half
dozen more per hen than in some of
the large poultry producing sections
of the east, due almost entirely to
this fact. We have at present in
the county hundreds of birds of
quality and nearly every known var
iety. The census of the county last
year shows the poultry to number
U,2o2 birds valued at $30,6l700.
There are nine banks, with total
resource of 3,l6O,0O000 These banks
are conservative and are on a very
substantial footing. They are doing
much to assist in the development
of Cache County.

fruit industry grows when some of
the larger farms are cut up and the
fruit industry and truck gardening
comes into their own.
All the hardy fruits, such as apples,
pears, peaches, prunes, etc, flourish
here. There is no better section in
the country for the growing of APP
Piles than in Cache. The soil is of a
sandy loan, naturally varying in
different sections, very deep and
we'll drained, very fertile, retentive
of moisture and with an abundance
of plant food The climate is all that
can be desired for the production o.

The abundance Of sunshine and COO

Milk Industry

Likewise in Cache county's milk in
dustry the work of few good men.
A few years ago some Cache county
statistics on dairy products fell into
the hands OF some wealthy eastern
ers. The figures were so satisfactory
that these fasteners came to Cache
and personally investigated con-
dition, with the result that eastern
money was placed with local capital
and a condensed milk factory was
soon established, and stations
have found their way throughout the
entire county, and into the state of
Idaho. This industry alone places
over one million dollars into the
hands OF the people annually, and
is another branch OF manufacturing
in which Cache is in class by it's
elf. The late NJ. w. Merrill, Lorenzo
Hansen, ]. w. Hendricks, the Pond
brothers, the late Newell Bullen,
Andrew Hyer, and their associates,
sturdy examples OF thrift and in
dustry upon whose shoulders the de-
velopment of this industry rested,
"builded better than they knew"
There is. the Borden Condensed
Milk Company established at Logan,
with branch at Wellsville, and the
Utah Condensed Milk Company es-
tablished at Richmond, with branches
located at Smithheld. Franklin and
Hyrum. These factories do a total
business OF over Sl,l00,00000 annually.
The Sego and Borden brands of milk
from these factories are known and
in great demand throughout the
United States as well as in foreign
lands.
The fruit industry, bright with pro-
mise, is in its infancy. Commercial
orchards are just beginning to bear,
and last year more than one hundred
cars of fruit were exported. Thous-
ands Of dollars will come from hid

In the so-called old days, when the
skeptics were saying that wheat
could not be raised without irriga-
ton, Cache county's sons said: There

wheat. 1t will work only when hec-

Agricultural Products
Cache County produces nearly on
million bushels of wheat annually,
quarter of a million bushels of oat
10000 tons of hay, and large quaint
ties of all the staple agriculturalRpr0
ducts. Some of the most productiv
dry farms in the state are in each
and the flour from the hard grain
grown here has become widely know
and is in much demand on the west
ern and eastern markets. There ar
a dozen or more -four mills locate
in various towns of the country thu
have a total capacity of 800 barre
per day.

Cache County, the northermost
county Of the state, is one OF Utah's
most picturesque and productive sec
tions. Surrounded completely by
the great walls of the Wasatch noun
tains, it is a vcritable Eden, glorious
in a wealth OF scenic splendor and
abundantly yielding fields. Away
from the main line of continental
travel its advantages have not be-
come known to the world until re-
cent years, when its fame carried it
across the border of state lines, and
beckoned the toiler in far less prom
iSing and productive fields to cast his
lot in a valley where health, wealth
and beauty abounds.
1t was settled in 1856 by pioneers
who came from Salt Lake Valley, the
first location being made on the
present site Of Wcllsville, a city
lying in the southwestern part Of the
valley The county and valley get
their name from the fact that there
were cached the supplies and i'm
plcments of explorers such as Ere
mont and others who traversed this
section before the advent of the pio.
neer settler. The first organization
of a political nature was the city OF
Wellsville in 1862, there being in the
valley at that time $50 families.
