The answer condoes not bring into issue the under law stitutionality of the which the appointment of Mr. games was made, but attacks the action of the. council in violating its own 'rules in attempting to confirm the nomination.- - It will be remembered that the council at the time Mayor Anderson submitted the appointments of the new officers, or rather the Republican members of the council tried to confirm these appointments at once when the rules of the council all appointments require that shall be Submitted to the proper committees for their action before being formally passed upon was filed in I by the council. motion was made to suspend this rule when the appointments A but the four Democrats present voted against this, and as it requires a two thirds majority to suspend a rule the motion failed of course. Then the Republicans demanded a roll-ca- ll and this was denied by the ehair. An appeal was taken from this ruling, and as a majority is sufficient to the chair this motion carried and a roll-cawas had, and in this way a sort of confirmation of the appointments was accomplished. It is this procedure that the answer attacks. It is likely that the case will be heard soon. Judge Maughan is away, but it is said that he would not have heard the matter had he been here, so an outside judge will have to be secured. It is thought that within the next ten days a judge can be obtained to try the ease. It is probable that the facts will be stipulated and the case given to the court at came in, over-rul- e Messrs Harden Bennion, J. J. McAllister and Geo. Black of the State Board of Equalization, were in Logan yesterday and in the afternoon met with the county commissioners and went over the assessment for this year. Afterdo-ing'sthey decided that Cache has not made the increase that is desirable this year and will require a further increase. Mr. Black read a statement that showed that practically all of the other counties i the state have made much greater increases than has been made here .notwithstanding the fact that, in many cases the counties have a much smaller assessment in the aggregate than has Cache. Davis county for instance has increased this year, about $400,000 with a total assessment of about five millions, while Cache with an assessment of nearly nine millions shows an increase of but $74,000. In discussing the matter he commissioners-anthe members of the State Board agreed that the county commissioners can make the necessary increase in a much fairer manner than the State Board could and so the mat o ter of making the raise will he left with 4he county people. The consensus of opinion at the meeting was that the farm property in the eounty should bear the increase, the town property being ' high. enough. The State Board will therefore issue an order the county board of equalization, so that it can act legally in effecting such an increase as the State may deem fair to all concerned. The members of the Board came well prepared with information and in discussing values here show ed that they knew what they were talking about. Some of them were pretty severe in their statements concerning the assessment of farm lands in some localities. Mr. was very emphatic in some of his remarks. The board members advised the assesor and commissioners to get down to a cash valuation on all property as soon as possible.

The guests were ushered into rooms and given a seat on the floor, truly Japanese style. A musical love story was then worked out. Archie Beveridge received first prize and was given a silk Japanese fan. Mrs. Alice Toolson received a little paper umbrella, and seemed perfectly' consoled for her hard work. A strip of woodoleum was stretched on the floor to serve as a table, and the following menu was written in Japanese on dainty triangular cards tied with green and red baby ribbon: noodle soup, tomato and cucumber salad, rice and raisins, ice cream and cake.- - The chopsticks were the only things to .eat with, and the table manners were surely Under the auspices and direcClub of tion of the Boosters Providence, an appropriate celebration of PiQneer Day will be held, in which all of the residents and as many visitors as care to attend, will participate free of all charge.

'During his ehr-l- y life he had to suffer much on account of the death of his father, which occurred when James was but two years of age. He accepted the Gospel, as taught byi the Church of , Jesus - Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, and was baptized in Copenhagen in the month of March, 1861. . After doing some missionary work in Copenhagen and vicinity, he was desirous of making his way to Zion. Accordingly he left Copenhagen January 31st, 1864. After remaining in Liverpool a few days he left for the United States in the old sailing vessel Calhoun, February 8th, and arrived in New York one month and ten days later. Here he worked a few months, then left for Utah with a company of missionaries and Saints under the of direction Patriarch John Smith. He drove an ox team and walked the entire distance from Omaha to Salt Lake City, where the company arrived October 1st, 1864. He did not remain in Salt Lake City long,' but soon came to Cache Valley, living first at Ilyrum a short time, then at Providence, where he remained during the rest of his life. , The summer session of the Agricultural College of Utah conclud- -' ed yesterday. In many respects it ' has been the most successful ever held at the College, the attendance being higher and the special lectures being more distinguished. Most of the teachers left Friday evening or are leaving this morning for their homes in different parts of the State. A large contin- gent of Salt Lake teachers expect to spend a number of days in the canyons of Cache Valley and in. Bear Lake before returning to the city. The facility retaineddnring the summer session are leaving for. various parts of the country. A number are seeking recreation the few weeks left in the mountains of Utah and Idaho. President Widtsoe left Friday morning for the Bear Lake region where he expects to spend a few days, after which he will travel farther north. He is accompanied by his family. Miss Caroline Hunt, the lecturer who appeared before the summer school two weeks ago in a series of special lectures on the home and who is recognized throughout the United States as being authority on domestic science problems, has written to friends in Logan that she regards the model kitchen designed by Mrs. John A. Widt soe in the family residence as be-- ', ing the most nearly ideal that she has seen. Mrs. Widtsoes kitchen is used by the sfiidents in Domes-- ' tic Science in some of their Col- . lege work.
