Hyrum, Cache Co., and State of Utah in general at heart, is shown by the following letter, received at this office, which we publish in part. issues: Mr. Hanson says: The Times, very often has interesting editorials about the Mormons, and as it is such a large and important paper it can only afford to be reasonably fair. Recently it commented on the Gold Medal, which Uncle Sam is going to give to the father who furnished the greatest number of sons to serve him, in his hour of need in this terrible war, and the gentleman who is to be so greatly honored furnished eleven sons, between the ages of 21 and 31. This was certainly fine and he certainly is deserving of the great honor Uncle Sam is about to bestow upon him. But the Times says: Her is the funny part of it; some years ago Uncle Sam put this gentleman in the Utah penitentary for having three wives.' He is a Mormon.

Logan Journal. - lf Wedding Bells Selecting Machinery The following news item, which appeared in last Saturday's issue of the Ogden Standard, will be of interest to Cache Valley residents, ' many of whom are stockholders of the Wolf Mountain Copper Company, which is preparing to install an oil flotation plant to treat the large tonnage of copper ore which is now available on its property on the Cache Valley Divide: With the arrival in Ogden yesterday of Mr. J. J. Crowe, ' representing Salt Lake, Denver and Milwaukee machinery houses, for consultation with Mr. C. A. Harker," president and manager of the Wolf Mountain Copper Company, regarding the machinery for the new n ore concentrating plant to be erected by this Company on its property on the Cache Valley Divide, steps were taken which are expected to result in placing the mine on a dividend-payin- g basis within a few months. Mr. Crowe, who left last evening for Salt Lake City, will return to Ogden next week in company with an engineer who is being sent out from the east to go over the details of the plant with the officials of the Wolf Mountain Copper Company, and it is expected that an order for a considerable part of the machinery for the plant, which will use the flotation process, will be placed soon after the first of the year. According to a recent statement the Company now has on hand some 10,000 t.oDS of high grade milling ore ofaij;ere then. $20.00 per" ton in copper and silver' and this ore is said to be of a character which will yield a very high grade concentrate when treated by the oil flotation process. 50-to- - , caff5. y' Primary Program The following program will be Mr. Ashal Calder of Logan and Miss Fedora Anderson of this city rendered in the 3rd Ward Chapel were married in the Salt Lake Sunday evening, Dec. 30, at 7:30 p.
