Encouraging Outlook


is not out of place to speak of tn
blessings nature has bestowed upo
Logan. Situated in as beautiful vale
as can be found in all this mountai
region, and upon flowing stream Q
pure water running down an inclin
atfording immense water power 70
numerous manufacturing institution
yet to be born, Logan has a brillian
future of great material growth. Wit
a good city organization having at tn
helm of power men who are interested
in the future of her citizens, Logan i
sure to grow. Her public, edueationa
and church buildings are monuments o
glory. There is the Temple upon tn
hill, a noble structure, the pride of th'
people of Cache and neighboring val
leys. The tabernacle. a solid structure
designed to DO service as housefol
the worship of God for many genera
tons. Then there are the Presbyterian
and Episcopal chapels, neat little struc
lures performing the part for which
they were built. The B, Y. College
conspicuously stands forth the crown
ing educational institution of northern
Utah and one of the first in the Rocky
Mountain region. The district schools
OF the city willie occupying as credit
able buildings as could BE- desired, are
taught By class Of people hard to ex-
Gel. With the growth of the city there
will be an improvement In the district
school buildings. The city being the
c0unty seat has the Court House, q
large and commodious brick building
of a pleasing style of architecture. The
County and City jail built with modern
Improvements suitable for many years
yet to come, is pu bic building worthy
of note.
OF BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS
the city can boast of a number of heavy
ones doing large business. There are
others CHM bling by perseverance up the
ladder of wealth. 1t is not necessary to
enumersre all of these, as reference to
our advertising columns will give a
fair idea of the r business grit, pluck,
energy aud determination to build
themselves up and also the town. And
when we speak OF mills, Logan rates
high. The quality of flour cannot well
be excelled, and the quantity turned
out makes the city veritable Indian
apolis for its size. In the city are three
mills, and four miles south is another.
All are worked to good capacity, and
some are crowded night and day.
Among the factories are door, sash,
box and washboard factory. which is
not equalled IN the Territory. Then we
have planning mills, machine shops and
various other institutions tending to
build up the community.
The city has recently purchased go
acres of land within the city limits,
portion of which will be used for park,
and the remainder will be applied to
facilitate her growth. The street of
Logan, like those of most Utah cities
are lined with shade trees, well watered
With streams along the sidewalks.
AS CENTER OF TRADE

small settlement, and four miles south

gagged in numbering, but since Uncle
Sans cruel warfare upon that industry

Four miles from Hyrum, in q south
