THE LOGAN UNITED ORDER
z. O. III. l. OFFICE,
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 8, 1883.


Editors Herald:
Your Logan correspondent. "Vac-
caro-" in his letter of the 20th ultimo,
repeats some silly gossip he hes picked
up on the streets of Logan which,
whether unintentionsl or inten-
tional on his part, is likely to
do a great Injustice to very
worthy institution Of that city. Being
fully conversant with the sff.irs of the
United Order Manufacturing and Build
ing Company, of Logan, have no hesit-
ancy in saying that the silly rumors
which your correspondent has unfortun>
stely used his ready pen to give
publicity to, have no found alton in |
fact. The United Order company do not |
owe this Institution one-third .oe the |
amount he states, and am satisfied they |
have real estate, unencumbered, logs, |
lumber and merchandise enough on |
hand to pay all their obligations. Our
confidence in the company is evinced BY
the fact that we have and are continuing
to extend credit to them of $40 600, and
We have not asked them to give US ss.
curity for this amount either. The United
Order Manufacturing and Building com.
papy has been Of incaiculsble benefit not
only to Logan city but to Cache Valley
generally, and all who have the welfare
OF the citizens OF that section at heart will
with me wish the company continued
prosperity and success
One word more. / would suggest to
your correspondent, s'Vaccaro." that he {
find other employment for his neu than
writing down q worthy Institution, and
disseminating the idle, untruthful gossip
OF the street. 81. s. ELDREDGE, Supt.
The above letter is self explana-
tory, and ought to quiet whatever
ugly and injurious rumors that have
been in circulation in Cache CON-
cerning the subject matter. THE S
HERALD regrets sincerely that it I
has uninteEtionally been led into 4
doing an injustice to worthy in S
stitution and casting reflection a
upon the management of the Z
concern. Our instructions to s
correspondents are to spare a
40 effort in obtaining news, but to L
oe as careful and correc5 III their q
as they are diligent in d
searching for and sending informa- P
ion; and above everything to write e
prejudice or bias. 1t is the Il
observance of this caution that has p
given THE HERALD SO envia- v
lie a reputation for relia- )
,ility and truthfulness. Our Ii
"Vaccaro," whose s.
etter was published in Sundays u
dition, can possibly have no selfish
motive in the matter of the Logan d
United Order, an institution which IL
le, together with all good citizens, IL
you'd like to see prosperous and u
re ~essive. His error seems to L
"a n failure to verify or u
= Prov ,treet rumor before giving 81
al air of reliability and truthful =
ess by sending it for publication. Il
THE HERALD is glad to learn, y"
5 well from other sources as v
rom General Eldredge's letter al
Dove, that the Logan u. .. NJ. 81 VI
). Co., is not only solvent, its liab- p
titles amounting only to a fraction III
f its assets, but is highly prosper. nl
US. The institution has long been ee
leading industrial concern of the CT
orth, furnishing employment for tf
cores of people, and doing much to Vi
evelop the resources of Cache +"
ALLEY. The rumor of its financial st
was as painful to
s many friends as the announce
lent that the story is false will be re
to the public generally. th
