and behind these undertakings. They
already have invested considerable money,
and it is unlikely they Will suffer it to be
lost for the want of additional work or to
lie idle for any protracted period. Natur-
ally, OF course, the whole valley viii feel
the benefit OF this diversity in labor, and
1t viii pe more and more appreciate as
more and more work IS done, as the new
fields Of labor incident upon these indus
tries shall be brought into existence.
One of the chief recommendations of
this valley is its constant growth, ana the
TACT that its growth is shared proportion
ately by nearly all the settlements in it,
This is indicative of healthy condition
OF affairs, and gives assurance that what
ever spasmodic growth may have done for
other quarters, whatever evil effects may
/ have followed, they are not shared by
Cache.
LOGAN CITY,
which is the foreground of the picture
spoken of in the beginning, is the chief
city OF the valley and of northern Utah.
Despite the depression which has existed
everywhere in the west, it is a fact worthy
of note and as indicating the inherent
prosperity of this city, that at no time in
the last four years has il been posi- BILE to
rent a house that might really be consid-
cred habltable. This could reasonably be
explained if there had been no new res
dences, but each year in the last Eve has
seen more buildings Tor business and more
and more residences and of more mod
ern and desirable character. When this
IS known as d fact the statement that a
really habitable house could not be rented
in the city, will indicate the steady
growth OF Logan in the face OF the try
ing period which in nearly every other
section has resulted in a loss OF popula-
ticn
Logan is fast acquiring recognition as
an educational center, The city is eX-
tremely heathful. 1t has an abundance
OF pure water. 1t is perhaps the most
beautifully situated city IN the Rocky
mountains. Certainly no city has a
purer, clearer or healthier atmosphere
than Logan. 1t is well ordered and in
the main an extremely clean place This
is the statement OF the gentleman to
whom It's last bonds were sold, at a time
when the bonds of other and Weather
and more populous cities did not bring so
much.
Recently new water system has been
put in which is a marked improvement
upon the one used Tor the last fifteen
years.
Logan was the first city in the Rocky
mountains to adopt the electric lighting
system Tor its streets, and not excepting
0NN-N -@t-@AN
and her wealth, better electric light
system than any other city in the west
today.
She has the Agricultural College of Utah
and the Utah experiment station, on
which the national government expends
about go, 600 year. and upon which the
territory has already spent close to
900, O0O- Logan has had for several years
THE BRIGHAM YOUNG coLLReE,
an institution endowed by the late Brig
ham Young with something like ten
thousand acres OF land, worth probably
S25 an acre. How far this college has ct
fected the development Of the whole val
ley no ore can tell, but that 1t has worked
in the interest of higher education among
the people and materially assisted in
bringing to them the exceptional repu-
tation everywhere enjoyed by them as a
cannot be doubted by any
