Show H ; ' ' PRESIDENTIAL. CANDIDATES H DECIDED UPON H Hi ( 1 Now that Mr. George W. Skldmoro B I has mado a trip to Washington and B j has decided upon the presidential cm m didatcs for tho people of tho United 1 States, and has selected "Clark and B I ' Teddy" as tho "opposing candidates" B i t It will not bo necessary to hold any H i' National Conventions. What a feat In m ' high finance. Who can cstlmato tho m ' money that will be sayed by this one H ' i net? Really tho power of a single H I Individual Is Incomprehensible. v V '4 THE HANSEN DEAL The transfer of thp proporty ot I'ats Cache Valley Condensed Milk company, com-pany, by Mnnngcr Lorenzo Hansen to the Borden Interests or .New York,, together with statements of future operation connected therewith, to our mind makes tho transaction ono of magnitude and is worthy ot mention. In the first place we congratulate Mr. Hansen on making a deal that Is entirely satisfactory to himself. In conversation with him ho has Informed Inform-ed us that ho mado a good deal, and all will no doubt bo glad to know- of his good fortune In this rcgnrd as no one likes to henr of any of their worthy wor-thy fellows getting tho llttlo end of the score. As to "unfair competition from competitors" com-petitors" manifested in somo quarters, quar-ters, wo cannot even express, an opinion, op-inion, as this is something wo hao not Investigated, ltboing purely ;no business of tho companies engaged In tho business. They know their business, busi-ness, and wo know ours. It would bo decidedly presumptuous on our pari to oven express an opinion ns to "unfair "un-fair competition" without exhaustive lnestlgatlon. It Is our province in tho transaction to report tho news, and call attention to bucu Items ns tuny bo ot Interest and benefit to the upbuilding of th'o community. Tho statement that tho purchasing company Intends to spend somo $200,000.00 hi our uildst in Improving and building up tho milk Industry Is what appeals to us twenty-four hours during tho dny. If there Is one thing we like moro than tho expending of money for Improvements Intended to bring forth tho finished product from raw materials and furnish work for our own boys and girls, it Is tho ex penditure of moro money for this purpose. pur-pose. Wo have said tlmo and time again that we need moro Industries. Wo need more Improvements. Wo need capital, and tho futuro testing Of this valley depends principally upon up-on the pioducts ot the soil. Hero Is room for one hundred thousand people, peo-ple, nud when that tlmo nrrlves the choice land ot the valley will be producing pro-ducing tho sugar beets, the fruits, berries and garden truck. The less desirable land will be yielding crops of alfalfa, and the laud unfit for cultivation culti-vation will bo pasturing tho cows that produce tho milk for tho factories. factor-ies. Farming will have undergone a transformation, and from a small f'irm well cared for tho farmer will reap an Independence. The expenditure of this 1200,000.00 in our midst looks good to us, and us wo said In tho ro-cent ro-cent controversy over tho lntcr-urban "When a man conies Into our midst with a deslro nnd with the money to build up our community wo should grab It like a hungry trout nftor u fly." It may not bo out of order to say u pcrsonnl word before this incident closos. Wo noto thnt Mr. Lorenzo Hansen Is to bo retained by tho Dor den pcoplo as their manager In this section of tho country. This will ho good news to Mr. Hanson's mauy friends, and Is a decidedly fortunato movo for tho new company. Mr. Hansen Han-sen has been before the people for many years ln tho milk business. Ho Is nn old pioneer In the dairy and creamery business, Tho moinory ot those dnys still linger when as a box wo used to long for tho tlmo to conic when the cows could bo sent to "Hansen's "Han-sen's Dairy." His life's work and bcxt efforts are linked with tho milk Interests In-terests of this valley. In thlri business ho has lived. He has given it his life. In It his successes and failures are recorded, re-corded, nnd In enrs to como when the history of tho valley Is written, tho volume would Indeed bo Incomplete Incom-plete without a half-tono nnd a woll written pogo on the work of'tho lmtd-working, lmtd-working, good nnt'urcd, determined-pioneer determined-pioneer of tho milk Industry, Lornczo Hnnscn. |
