LOGAN CITY, UTAH, VOLUME FOR A BASEBALL LEAGUE SEARCH SUMMER FOR NUMBER 91 The Long Trip to Australia UNDERWEAR. ?5 a ,v There is a Chance For, Logan to Get Some : X" Journal Boys And Girls to Travel With s. Good Ball This Sommer. At the baseball meeting held at the Commercial Club on Tuesday evening Logan was offered the chance of getting some real baseball this summer and after hearing the plan outlined by Mr. W, D. Rishel, sporting editor of the Salt Lake Herald, it was decided to go after the game, and a committee was accordingly named to take charge of the matter of getting things in shape. Mr. Itishels proposition was this: . We in Salt Lake are hungry for baseball, he said,f and of course are prepared to put in a good bail team, but a baseball team without anything to play ' against of course isnt a very alluring proposition. If we are to have baseball we must have other good teams to play with, and we have at last reached the condu-sio- n that in order to get them we 'must make some sacrifice ourselves. Salt Lake has always been able to support a good team for there isnt a better ball town on the continent than our city, but Ogden, Provo and Logan can't do so, therefore we have decided that the only way to get a league formed and have it prosper, is for Salt Lake to help pay the expenses of the other , 0 teams. Now, my proposition is let each .town raise5 $1,000 this, and turn it into the league treasury, and after that let all.. the gate money go into ,one common fund, and the league pay all the expenses of all the teams. Instead, of having Logan. paying for its v - W. G. Reese. committee will meet with success, for Logan will be pretty, quiet without sport of some kind, this summer, and the plan proposed will give us four months of good hall, with games here every two ' weeks. . DUAL MEET AT A. C. Saturday next there will be on the Agricultural College athletic field, that should inOn doins terest local fans. The University baseball and track teams will try conclusions with Coach Walkers men on that day. The baseball game will begin, at one oclock and the track and field sports will begin at 2 :3.0. The yarsity baseball bunch trimmed ' the Aggies in Salt Lake but Walkers men hope to Return the compliment here, at any rate it yill be a good In the track and field events the public will get a line on the chances of the Aggies in the big State meet. The U. has a strong track team it is said, and some interesting events are sure to be -- pulled off. The officials for Saturday are : Starter Coach Badenoch. Judges of the finish Bassett, F, W.

The $1,000 from each town will give ns a good start, and after that IJfeel quite certain that we can take in at the gate at leastr $4,000 a month, which would enable ns to have a salary limit of $1,000 a month for ' players. vin . Now if ye agree on a salary limit of $1,000 a month and Logan puts in a team for $800 a month you would then receive a draw-dow- n of $200 a month from the league. . You would of course have a local organization to se lect your placers and control them in a general way. I believe ' that it is the only feasible plan to secure baseball in Utah, and everything in the plan is in favor of the smaller towns, as against Salt Lake. . Everybody present 'was very much impressed with the feasibility of Mr. Itishels plan, and after inquiring fully into, all the details, a committee consisting of Prank W. Thatcher, Wm, Howell and II. Bujlen, Jr., was. named to take up the matter of securing funds. If the money can be raised, Mr. Rishel will be notified and the work, of organizing the league will begin at once.

At an early hour iq the afternoon the friends and the patrons of the school fyad gathered in large numbers.. All of the rooms and large hallways were crowded with vistors. At the call of the bell, the pupils in the respective rooms inarch ed out in perfect order, and they were arranged on the lawn under the direction of Prof Thomas, our musical director, The lawns had been tastefully decorated by one thousand yards of bunting lent to the school by Flag- - the Commercial Club.

For a long time the Democrats of this county have been without an efficient working organization, and as a result, much of the interest which to feelln their partys welfare and its principles has departed. The time, in the opinion of leading Democrats is now opportune for a revival of Democratic sentiment, and after talking the matter over for several weeks, and ascertaining the fact that there is a general desire among Democrats that an organization be perfected, a number of members of the party met in Logan on Monday evening and discussed the matter furDem-ocStsus- of any man or men but to bring about a renewal of Democratic faith, and inspire Cache Democrats with that old spirit of loyalty and aggressiveness that has carried the party to triumph in so many campaigns. tomor.

Of course we meet a great many very respectable people in England. And we have some very staunch friends. When we make a friend of an Englishman he will give us any thing he has. On the whole I have, enjoyed my labors very much. I have learned this much, that if I had my life to live over again and know what I do now.I should take advantage of the opportunities for preparing myself at home My advice to young boys is to go to Mutual and Sunday school and other. meetings, take part and learn all you can. We run up Well, I suppose you young people whom I left in San Francisco seeiug the many grand sights before the sailing of the ship, were no doubt much impressed by the roaring of the mighty Pacific as j'ou ' sat on Sutro Heights or near the Cliff Huse. The seals among the rocks out a short distance from the cliff house have no doubt been very interesting t you. You have noticed that after they have had a spell of sporting in the waves they make for the rocks and there climb up on thorn and sun themselves. As you have lobked out upon the great ocean your heart has beaten rather faster as you have thought of embarking on a steamer to travel so many thousand miles.' How many, do you ask ? Let me. tell you. From San Francisco to Honolulu, the first land we reach, 2,084 miles ; from there to Pago Pago' 2,260 miles; from there to Auckland, N. Z.; 1,594 miles; and from Auckland to Sydney, Australia, 1,272; making a total of 7,210 miles; and to , ' get to Adelaide we must add about 1,000 miles. To walk this distance it' would take 41( days wolked 20 miles a provided-yoday. Let us start on our trip. We go down to the wharf and find the Ventura of the Oceanic S. S. company firmly fastened and many men are still very busy" loading" her for the long, voyage. We learn that she has a Capacity of over 6,000 tons. We get on board and soon the whistle gives the signal that all are ready and the ' ; ships will soon sail.' There are hundreds of people gathered to say goodbye to their friends. Handkerchiefs are freely used on wet eyes. As the ship is loosed from its moorings and steams out of the ; harbor, handkerchiefs are waved and farewells are shouted; none for us, however, las we are stran- against some pretty stiff propositions some times. And I can tell you Fred this is different work from football. I believe I can play foot ball easier than preach, I was glad to hear of the. success the A, C. U. boys had this year and next year I expect to he home to cheer them on to victory. They tell me Coach Walker is a hummer. Elder V. S. Almussen is my companion and he is enjoying the best of health and is doing a good work. We are doing our best to spread the Gos: pel and the work is growing and now and then a soul is added to the fold of1 Christ.

After the sentences had been announced Burpiets mother slipped a knife into the hand of Herman Rull with which he tried to commit suicide but he was pre' r vented by the guards. , We notice several va- cant places at the table and learn that those who should occupy them are not able to appear; the plunging and rolling of the ship has been too much for their stomachs. As the day passes along we, too, feel a little squeanlish, and when the dinner gong sounds we. decide to remain on ' deck ; however, this feeling does not last long and we are now beginning to feel fine and enjoy out ride on the briny deep.
