Loyalty to Logan.


The wav those citizens turn out to
whoop it up for anything that has the
name Logan attached to it IS a eau
ton. On Decoration day there was
game Of ball between the Logan team
and d nine from Salt Lake. Now this
Logan team has never won game
Somehow or other hard luck had pur-
sued the players and a hOodoo was
ever present. Still, the citizens turned
out almost TO a man and woman
Once when it looked as if the Salt
Lakers would win, all hands joined in
encouraging the home team. Instead of
put the lobster out" when q man
made a misplay, it was hard luck. Old
fellow; you'll even it up later SO IL
went all through the game, and when
the logan boys finally Wrenched away
a victory, the enthusiasm was as great
as if every person in the crowd had
suddenly been presented with for
tune.
This is told as an idea of the local
patriotism. The Loganites are not SO
| bigoted that they can see nothing good
| outside of their own town. but they
always see something better within its
gates They have every reason to be
proud of their city and their county.
/ for they are of the favored spots OF
/ the earth.
/ me man VINO cores To Logan uHLtzLi-
! Iy goes away with q warm glow in his
/ heart and a determination TO go back if
| ever an opportunity is afforded. A more
/ hOspitable class of people never lived.
/ The small boy on the street viii stop
/ in the middle Of a bah game to walk
[ half 2 block and point out the right
/ direction or the special house in which
! the person you want to see resides.
No merchant is too busy no lawyer
or professional man too deep in the
study of some abtruse problem to stop
! and chat and tell Of interesting things
to be seen and done. Hospitality is
| breathed in the very atmosphere and
| the first thing the stranger knows he
| is thinking of Logan as home and of
the people as my fellow citizens"
If I we're to attempt 10 thank here all
the people who left their work To do me
a kindness. it would be almost like
printing d directory Of the town. All
with whom l was thrown N contact
went out of their way TO 10 ard say
nice things and / am thoroughly con
WINGED that the only reason the others
didn't do likewise was because ] didn {
happen to meet them.
So il is with q feeling Of keen regret
that the wayfarer finds his time FOR
departure draw near. The valley looks
so inviting. its lights and shadows so
aTuring, that one feels that weeks and
years could be lived there with hard 5
a disturbing jar.

A Grand Canyon.
But there is a pleasure in coming to
Logan that is not confined to the town.
This is the ride up through Bear River
canyon and the section of country be-
tween there and Ogden.
1t is at its best at this time of the
year. The canyon is short. but good
judges say there is nothing finer in the
state Great cliffs tower on either hand
their green clad sides scanned here and
there by rugged granite On the west
side of the canyon runs the Bear river
canal. A wonderful piece of engineer
ing it is, for the narrow water is laced
into the sides OF the hills like shoe
string.
At frequent intervals the foamv
water dashes through short tunnels and
seems to lose itself under a iutting
ledge. High over the bed of the river.
which is a hundred feet below the rail
Coad track, the canal winds its way
down the valley south of the canyon,
to spread its waters through the farms
there and make them produce abundant
crops of al kinds
At nearly every foot of the way
through the canyon the traveller finds
something more beautiful than tho
/ spot just passed. The canal rather
| heightens than impairs the effect, over
/ high trestles and through one short
/ tunnel, now and then rounding curves
/ 50 sharp that it seems as if the train
must so off at a tangent until at last
| with a shrek from the locomotive
whistle the train rushes out into the
/ Cache valley. 1t is a sight that, once
/ seen, can never be forgotten. The sud
| den exit from the rugged mountain
pass into the valley where nature wears
/ her sweetest smile and all things speak
! of peace and plenty. is like q dissolving
! view of the most gigantic order.
/ One thing that has contributed large
/ ly to making Logan what it is is the
I loyalty of its people. The average Lo-
/ ganite viii tell you that there is To
place like Logan. He Will tell you that
/ the air is purer, the water more health
/ full, the scenery. grandeT. the communi-
4 ty better than in any other place on
/ earth. One who stays in Logan for
any length of time will be prepared
/ to admit that a large percentage o.
| these assertions are true.
