GRANARY OF UTAH.
Cache Is One of the Great Wealth Producing Counties

of the State.

That Cache county is the granary of
Utah, is generally conceded. Concern
ing this picturesque, pleasant and fer
tile spot, a Utah writer has said:
I'm that golden chain of valleys that
lies across the breast of Utah there is
no brighter link than Cache. No other
county in the territory can show such
verdant hills, such sparkling streams,
such fertile soil. Nature always
smiled on this her favored spot. When
other wales were barren this was
bountiful While other hills were
parched and dry the hills of Cache

A THRIVING SANPETE CITY.
MT. PLEASANT IS BUSY AND
PROSPEROUS.
Has a Population of $500 and Has
Been Making Improvements Du-
ring the Year.

Mount Pleasant is one of the busy
towns Of the Sanpete valley, and has a
bona fide population of $500 souls. 1t
is the true, natural and should be the
legal metropolis of Sanpete county. A
! brief resume of her present condition
is herewith given:
The sheep interest has somewhat de-
clfned, owing to the fact that at least
| SO, 600 head have been sold from Mount
Pleasant alone within the last few
months. Still there are about $4,000 yet
owned by residents of the town.
Within the year there has been much
external Improvement of property, and
many new houses have been erected.
Most of them of brick, adding much
to the beauty and the substantial ap-
pearance of the city. Among these new
buildings are to be mentioned those of
his honor, the mayor elect, Fred Eric
son, Professor G. H. Marshall, James
Larsen, DR.. II. n. Morrey, Abner
Crane, Rasmus Kofford, and many
others. Messrs. Brand and Rylan were
the contractors on most of them. I'm
provements thus made amount to many
thousands of dollars.
We have the modern public con-
Veniences, such as electricity, for our
streets and our public and private
buildings, and telephone, but sadly
need a water system. Hundreds of
people use water from the ditch for
culinary purposes.

! of $677.90, while the freight bills for
export this year are $39, 327.S1, an ex-
cess of $4,000 over 1896.
The exports were mainly lumber,
wool, live stock, grain and potatoes.

SCHOOLS.
Mount Pleasant has a school popula-
ton of 800, with an enrolment of 635,
! 125 of whom are in the Wasatch acad-
envy, a Presbyterian school of high
standing in the whole southern part
of the state, students coming from as
far south as Toquerville. Professor G..
H. Marshall is a keen, discerning edu-
Gator, and is ably assisted by Misses
Ella Heron, Lillian Allison, Mary
Hemingway, with Misses Serena Neil

eight-roOm central school building,
which she much needs in order to be
abreast of the times.
Thus in Cache county there is a
steady growth in supplying the school
facilities demanded by the people.
There is also a steady growth and de-
velopment in the work done in the
schools. The teachers are progressive
and energetic, the students are inter
ested, and the great majority Of pa
rents are willing to make almost any
sacrifice to enable their children to
attend school. and thereby form that
firm, strong character that is so neces-
sary to a successful career in life.
The Brigham Young college at LO-
gan is one of the most progressive in
situations of higher learning in the
state. 1t was established by President
Brigham Young in 1877, with an endow-
ment OF about ten thousand acres of
land, and was first opened for the adj

stuffs annually. Shipments are made
outside the state, both east and west.

South Weber are the four towns in the
northern districts of the county. The

EDUCATIONAL.

County superintendent Oldham re-
ports as follows:
The educational interests of Cache
county are in a prosperous condition
probably no other county in the state
has equal advantages. With the agri-
cultural and Brigham Young colleges,
complete systems of schools. both for
city and county, and an educational
spirit second to none, Cache county
bids fair to be the banner county Of
the state in educational matters.
In the county, comprising the city of
Logan, we have q school population of
6,S53. This would indicate that the
whole population, according to the ra-
ito of the census Of 1890 and 1885, would
be computed at 22,e14.
There are employed in the schools of
Cache county, inclusive of Logan, 81
teachers. The schools run on an aver
age eight months each year, at an ag-
gregate cost of nearly 100000.

ern schoolhousess and modern single
