Railroad Facilities
The Ogden. Logan and Idaho Rail-
way, besides operating a local cleo
trlc car line through the principal
business and resident sections Of the
City, gives Cache County two hour
schedule with Ogden. The large
steel electric interurban cars rolling
into Logan every two hours loaded
with people has made Logan the
common distributing point and the
shopping center for the twenty-four
towns of the valley. For this reason
1t is truly stated that Logan handles
a larger volume of business than any
other city in the State in proportion
to its population. The Oregon Short
Line gives a standard daily service
between Cache County and Salt Lake
City. besides the numerous other
trains which arrive and depart daily
from their station. 81

The shopping district represents
practically every line OF legitimate
business. The stores present an at

alarm" the activities in Home Guard
circles in South Dakota. 1t was the
Aberdeen COMPANY led by Captain
E. 3. Harkin, that so annoyed the

fled the state in large numbers, and,
through the Minneapolis headquar-
tiers, declared boycott on the state.
Recently Mr.. Harkin accompanied a
small party of deputies to arrest a
German born citizen who was wa1,ted
for abuse of the president and the
government, and who said he would
not be taken alive. The man was
found to be armed, and in an encoun-
ter Harkin fired upon him and
brought him down with two or three
wounds. Now the captain has been
promoted to the colonelcy of the new
regiment organized in northern
counties of the state. The /. W. w.

Since 1871 Imperialism was getting
stronger and stronger but when it
took upon itself to rule the world it
met its Waterloo. Hohenzollernism
was dominating the European coun-
tries, but when the Kaiser began war
on the United States, because she re-
fused to keep off Of the highways, he
brought on his downfall Germany
has been retrograding since April 6,
1917, when war was declared on Ger
many by the United States. Ger
many declared that the United States
was virtually in the war since the be-
ginning. And, had it not been for
American ammunition they would
have won the war in 1915, and Po-
land, Russia, Belgium and other terri
tory would have been gobbled up by
Germany. And hhe United States
would have been in jeopardy, and
such a proposition you'd please Ger
man symSathizers of mis- country
10 those readers of The News who
are in sympathy with kaiserism and
think that the United States had no
business to furnish ammunition to the
Allies, who, at the present time have
the Kaiser jumping sideways to keep
from getting caught, we would say
the days of the kaiser are numbered
the net is drawing tighter and tighter
until the powers say, take hint
is only a question of time. Those
who are in sympathy with Germany
should study history as follows:
who furnished Spain with ammu-
milton when that country was at war
with the United States in 1898 :?
Germany. Who furnished the Beers
with ammunition when they took Up
arms against the British? Ger
many. Who supplied the Russians
with war material when the latter
We're in war with Japan? Germany
Who sold powder and projectiles to
the Turks when those blood thirstv
devils made war upon the Balkan
states? Germany. And if the
United States had gone to war with
Mexico in 1913, who do you suppose
would have furnished the outlaws
down below the Rio Grande with mu-
nitions of war? Why, Germany"

A college professor in California has
discovered mineral hitherto unknown
to science, which he has called 'crest-
moreite," because It was found at
Crcstmore. We are told by way Of
description, says the Providence Bull
letin, that it Is "a new hydrous basic
OF orthosilicnte, containing small
amounts of other oxides in place Of
silica" which leaves us altogether in
the dark as TO whether we shall soon
be using crestmoreite as an improved
stovepipe material or wearing it as a
watch charm.

OF Ecuador have utilized wax found
on certain species of tall palms for
making candles, says the Scientific
American. This wax occurs on the
tree trunks in granular form, each tree
furnishing about fifty pounds. The
trees grow in great numbers on the

OF this wax were sent to France and

POLITICS AND ROADS
Extract by Courtesy of the

Road Makcr)
"1n the mast few wears we have had
n great variety of road legislation.
tax levies and bond issues for road
construction. OF necessity. each has
borne the earmarks of politics. A
vital question of the day RELATING to
the furtherance of the movement to
get good roads is that covering the
future relationship of political influ-
ence to real construction.
Henry B. Joy, president of the Lin
coin Highway Association, has COW
vered his phase of the situation most
aptly in recent monograph, entitled.
National Highways and Country
Roads," published by the National
Institute of Efficiency. I quote him
as true prophet in this regard:
Roads are unfortunately a politic-
al consideration. In most instances
road officials are political appointees
Different communities, sections of
counties and states have worked
against one another in an endcaver
to secure as large portion of the
available money for improvements
the result that the money was spent
in their own locality as possible, with
under compromise.
"ROAD CONSTRUCTION CAN
NOT BE COMPROMISED.
IF sufficient money is available in
our county to construct ten miles of
road in year and there are five
different localities in that county all
clamoring for the ten miles, it might
satisfy them all and be to the political
interest of the responsible officials to
spend fifth of the money in each
locality and build two miles of road,
but it accomplishes nothing.
Experienced nolitical camraion-
ers have been quick to note the nos
sibilities of the growing good roads
sentiment. and some undoubtedly
have fastened to hitch their individu-
al kites to the tail of the good-roads
star, with the one purpose in view of
personal or petty gain for them
selves. l think and trust that they
are in the minority. I want to be-
lieve that the majority of seasoned
campaeners now aligned with the
good-roads elements are sincere in
their clonuently voiced endorsements
of good roads. But I am convinced
that these same political leaders are
on the same plane with their less
valuable constituents in their knowl-
edge of how, when and where to build
roads, and that their education in
this resnect is an indispensable factor
in the progress of the work"
