III They But Knew"

1t is pleasant to observe new build
ings going up in Logan and the
county, but If a good business is to be
done in these buildings this city and
lcounty MUST seek to employ more
labor at better prices. More people
must be brought into the county and
less money sent out. WE MUST
BECOME EXPORTERS not import
ers. Every dollar sent away means
that we are just that much poorer:
If the Cache Commercial Club, in
desire for social life, forgets these
facts then its excuse for existence Is
gone. A Commercial Club filled with
the idea of accomplishing great things
In business way can accomplish
them, and the social life is neither
help nor a harm \ club unanimous
in its desire to accomplish things does
not need a social life to sustain 1t, yet
perchance if it does have the social
| life, Will accomplish the same results
despite that fact. IT'S HARMONY,
ONENESS OF AIM, UNITY OF
| PURPOSE THAT ACCOMPLlS1lES
THINGS. For instance, the editor
calls to mind a certain Commercial
Club organized with twenty members.
| The town contained 1000 souls. In
six months the Club had grown to
| fifty members, Il bonus of $4,000 had
been raised and steel mill en-
ploying 800 men at from So to Sl2
day had been secured. That club had
no place to meet except in some store or
bank or other business building, nor
had it "club rooms six months ago,
when last we heard of it. Besides locatss
ing the steel mill, that same club &C
complished many other exceedingly
beneficial things for the town.
The foregoing is not AN argument
that social life in connection with a
| Commercial Club is detrimental. 1t
merely demonstrates that social life is
NOT necessity. Many successful
clubs with a great social department
demonstrate that the social side does
not destroy the usefulness of such or.
CARNATIONS where the one central
idea, PROGRESS, is not forgotten.
Logan and Cache county must get a
move on it if there is to be progress.
The valley is slowly increasing in the
number of inhabitants but is more
slowly increasing in the matter of new
enterprises to employ these people.
Our young men and young women
must go away from home If they are
to be employed. This is a great,
grand, glorious country with climate
and advantages in various ways, but
the world doesn't know il. Oul
abundance of water power should at.
tract manufactures and il would IF
THE PROMOTERS BUT KNEW
our superior soil and abundance OF
of water should attract settlers, and
It would II THEY BUT KNEW
, our fine schools, our comparatively
moral cities, our up-to-date Logan
/ should attract parents with families
! to raise, and these things would, IF
/ THEY BUT KNEW: our favorable
dairy conditions should attract exper.
= fenced and wealthy dairymen, and
they would come, IF THEY But
( KNEW: the wealth of our valley
, should attract railroad coming in
/ this direction and it might, If THEY
BUT KNEW; our exceedingly favor,
able climatic conditions should at.
tract those looking for health and il
would, If THEY BUT KNEW: tho
scenery in this north country should
attract thousands of tourists who &c
further TO see less beautiful things
that our mountains, canyons, stream,
and Bear Lake, and it would IL
THEY BUT KNEW.
If Logan and Cache county is Il
grow, even hold its own, then WI
MUST LET THE WORLD KNOW
We must be up and doing and whei
people are finally attracted then VI
have something to show them. Let
, work and hope for the best.
