LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH SATURDAY OCTOBER 16 1016 "INTERURBAN DAY" TO BE CELEBRATED IN LOGAN LATTER PART OF MONTH October 27th has been chosen as the date. Towns of Valley to Join in Celebration. Tentative program has been outlined. Band con- test and Barbecue. Some months ago, at a meeting of the Commercial Club It was thought advisable and very appropriate to licvo a big Cacho Valloy lntorurban Celebration at Logan upon the completion ol tho railroad between Wells-vlllo and Brlghain City.

Tho matter was referred to tho Public Entertainment commlttco of tho Club with power to act. Tho commltteo has been working and thinking quietly during tho summer for tho event and havo waited for Assistant General Manager, Robert Anderson, to glvo tho woid. Tho word has been given. Mr. Hicks, tho weatherman, has been consulted and ho assures us fair weather the latter part of October.

It has therefore, been definitely decided to hold tho celebration on Wednesday, October 27. At tho regular monthly mooting of the directors of tho Club held last Wednesday, It was tho sentiment of all those present that tho completion of tho electric railway was a Red Letter Day for Cacho Valley and that the commltteo had their hearty support and should by all means go thead with tho celebration. Perhaps not so much to tho investor, but certainly to tho public, tho electric rail-way Is. tho best paying Inestment that has come to tho valley. Cacho k' 'now has most excellent transporta- tlon facilities.

most of tho other towns of tho valloy havo given frcov celebrations upon tJio lntorurban entering their vicinities, It Is tho aim of the committee to mako thd Cacho vnlloy lntorurban celebration at Logan on October 27, freo to the public as far ti possible, and all tho people on tho north to Preston, and on tho south to Brlgham, Ogden and Salt Lake City are cordially Invited to como and Join In tho festivities. Tho following tentatlvo program has been outlined and will tako place on tho Tabernacle square and Main stre'ot: 1. Open nlr meeting at 10:30 a.m. barbecue at 11:30 a. m.

BIG FOOTBALL GAME TODAY ON ADAMS FIELD The University of Nevada, which has not played In Logan for somo twolvo years, is hero to play tho Aggies this afternoon.

Judging from Novada's record tho team Is one that wo may welt take notice of. This school has already played two games with somo of tho best olovens on tho coast and In both cases played to a close score Two games oxporlence Is worth considerable. In addition, It's a university team with absolutely no freshmen ruling, what this means In supplying playing material is rather difflcult'to Judge. Still further Novada will no doubt present nn almost entirely now gamo. Tho Unlvorslty for a number of years past has played tho rugby gamo so popular on tho coast and this year, though It has adopted the regulation collego football, If Is still featuring a number of the old rugby plays.

These plays are entirely' new to tho players and fans hole and this will perhaps bo tho only opportunity of meeting them, slnco Novada Is' practically tho only school now using them, and she plays but one gamo In this region. While thero Is no way of comparing tho strength of tho local team with th eopposlng ono the local boys aro confident of mnkln? a good show-Ing. They are In good condition and with last Saturday's experience and this week's training tho Aggies should put up a good exhibition of football, SERVICES FOR MRS.
