a Point in Final
Round.
whitaker GETS A TIE
FOR FOURTH POSITION
J. T. Beckner Il Elected to Presl.
dency Of the Association-Selec-
ton of Games.

Edward Lasker, with the city cham
Chicago to his credit, has added an
other title to his collection by winning
the annual tournament Of the Western
Chess Association. concluded at the
Kenwood Chess Club, Chicago. last
Wednesday. AS was the case in the
Metropolitan tournament, Laskos
snatched victory in tho final round by
half point Jackson showalter, last
years champion. came to tho finals with
lead Of half a point over the cosmo-
politan expert. and as Lasker was pitted
against Whitaker the odds were all in
favor of the Kentucky veteran retain
ing his laurels. Lasker defeated the
local master. leaving 1t up to Showal-
ter to determine his own fate. # he
could win the first prize was his: even
q draw would give him q tie for first
honors. In this crisis, H Hahlbloom,
young Chicago player of great prom
Use, concluded that Kentucky was too
far east to hold the western cham
pionship another year and furnished
the surprise Of the tournament with q
well earned victory over his renowned
adversary. However, the advantage of
this victory was not all Lasker's, as 1t
enabled Hahlbloom to take third money,
point above Whitaker and Beckner,
who tied for fourth place. Gessner and
Hon also showed some fine chess and
should rank with the best in the coun-
try in a few years.
]. T. Beckner Of Winchester KY, was
elected president of the association for
the ensuing year and the 1917 tourna-
ment will be held in Lexington. KY.

Vernstein is pretty sure to be on

before the operation he will make all the

the pro golfers tourney rolls around. His
game is admirably adapted, however, to
the course on which he plays and. as he
himself says, the difficulty Of always being
forced to play against a hill Is apt to
spoil a mans game when he gets on a
course where he has to use the long
clubs. And. again, Beckett never uses
brassie on his own course, although he Is
very accurate with his long irons.

and to tell of the agricultural and
commercial progress of Cache coun-
ty this season.
There are some things we have
overlooked, and necessarily so, be-
cause of lack of time to get it to-
gether for this issue. If any person,
or set of persons, in the county have
story they would like to tell to
sum up their years work through
the columns of this paper, it will
be our pleasure to do so in our New
Years Edition, IL they will but let
their wants be known.
Some of Our Aims.
1t is the aim of the management
of the Logan Republican to make
of this paper, purely a Cache Val
ley paper. 1t is our desire to give
all the news of the county at least
! once a week. 1t is our aim to have
every town in the valley represent,
ed in these columns at least that
! often and to give this service, We
have good live correspondent in
every town. Sometimes il is i'm.
possible to have each town repre-.
scented that often. as the correspond
ent finds it very hard TO find sur
fcient matter to form a letter, and
as a consequence, the town docs not
get the representation in the col
umns as some would like to see.
1t is the aim of the management
of this paper to keep up a circulation
throughout the valley, reaching tn,
homes of the buying public, makinl
it worth while for the merchants anC
business men to continue their pat
ronage in the future as they hav,
done so literally in the past.
