and power at rates which have attract
ed considerable capital to this city. Lo-
gan has Incompatible power facilitie.
and capital has just begun to realize
this fact.
1t has been estimated that 100. 0Ot
| horsepower could be secured from Lo-
gan river alone, while there are many
other streams in the county that Offer
fine opportunities in this line.
Two of the three electric plants are
located in Logan and one in Hyrum
Logan also possesses one of the finess
gravity pressure waterworks systems
of the world. The water is taken from
a canal that skirts the base of the east
ern mountains and is carried two miles
into the city. The fall is such that
great pressure is maintained in the

Municipal and Other Information.

But Logan's chief pride is in its edu-
/ catiOnal institutions. There is located
! here the State Agricultural college one
of the leading institutions of its kind
in the west; the Brigham Young col
| lege, an establishment OF higher learn-
| ing with an enviable reputation. con-
trolled by the Mormon church; and the
New Jersey academy, a seat of adj
vanced instruction that is maintained
by the Presbyterian church, in addition
to the elaborate system of public
schools. These three institutions have
an aggregate attendance of 1000 stu
dents, and the means distributed by
them is no inconsiderable part of the
sum that represents Logan's yearly
volume OF business.
The city schools are housed in build
ings of modern construction and equip
ment. They are conducted apart from
the county schools by a beard Of edu
cation, at the mead or which is Pro-
lessor George Thomas of the Agricul-
tural college. His fellow members are
n. W. Haws, John I. Caine, IT., 1.
Benson and John Quayle. Albert NJ.
Merrill is superintendent.
The county schools, under the direc-
ton Of w. G.. Raymond, are equally
progressive.
Some of the county's developed re-
sources have been mentioned; its unde-
veloped possibilities are many. Along
agricultural lines there is room for vast
advancement. Within the past two
years the cultivation of sugar beets
has been commenced and the results
achieved indicate wonderful possibil-
tiles in the production of sugar in this
county. The beets grown here were of
superior quality, yielding large per-
centage of saccharine matter and av
eraging high in purity. The yield per
acre, where proper cultivation was
had. surprised those most sanguine in
their expectatio Already plans have
been laid FOR the construction of a
sugar factory in this county. for I'M
favorable transportation facilities have
made it discouraging to beet raisers
to ship their crops. The establishment
of such factory would open up an
other big industry here.
Vegetables of all kinds grown here
are equal to the best, and the climate
and soil is admirably adapted for the
production of the harder fruits, such
as apples, pears, plums and the differ
enS berry fruits. A canning factory
has been talked of for some time, and
it is more than likely that the near
future will see such an industry in
operation.
With the excellent advantages for
obtaining water or electric power that
the county possesses, it is no idle
thought that prompts the belief that
important industrial enterprises will
be launched in Cache before many sea-
sons roll awav.
Mines of Vast Richness.
Then, too, there are unfold millions
hidden away in the mighty buIwarks
of nature that surround us. Mining in
Cache has been ignored, and her beds
of treasure as yet are practically I'M
explored. Attention is being attracted
to Caches mineral resources, however,
and the future holds great promise for
the county in the way of mining de-
