Logan grows apace. Real estate has
during the past two weeks been at a
premiun. Mr.. ]. ]. Murphy purchas-
ed lets on Main street and in the
near future will erect modern and
comme1ious business premises. Cur
lce Cress secured several choice resi-
dence sites in the best part Of town
and Nessrs. j.. C. and Russell Gard
each added to their holdings. A half
block adjacent to the High school fell
to the bid of the long, lean alien and
two lets were secured for the propos-
ed Presbyterian church. We might
continue but desire to spare the feel
ings of eur good neighbors east and
west.
The erection of yet another eleva-
tor at Logan has now been decided on
and building will commence in the
course Of the coming week. There are
several other business institutions to
be added to Logan's attractions during
the next two months and the enter
prising would find our town we'll wor-
thy of attention from an investment
viewpoint.
We were glad to welcome Frank
Brand after his long and serious spell
of sickness. Frank bears traces of a
severe siege but is gaining each day.
Mrs. Ralph Gard of Sawyer was a
visitor on Thursday last, attending the
Latter Day Aid at the residence OF
Mrs. Will Hecker.
The Good Samaritan Aid were en-
tertained on Thursday by Mrs. Harry
Light. Many members and friends
were present, much useful work &C
complished and dainty luncheon en-
joyed.
We understand that an effort will be
made to commence work on the new
church building in the near future
There are many who will cheerfully
devote one or more days of labor to a
good cause, and to ensure the great
est benefit being derived from volun-
teer effort, we would suggest that all
willing to assist notify Mr.. Rob Wal
drey. A grand opportunity is afforded
to illustrate the community spirit of
which Logan is proud.
Mrs. Frank Teets has traversed
many miles during the past week in
her untiring efforts to secure the nee
essary financial support to secure the
erection of the church free of encum-
brance.
An entertainment hall for Logan is
desired by many and the cooperative
effort of those interested should re-
suit in the erection Of building wor-
thy of the town. Conducted along
right lines, such could not but prove a
rrofita h1o Investment
Elmer Cook, with a select crew, has
been doing good work grading in the
neiehborhood of J. D. BIS farm.
The annual meeting Of the school
board was held on Tuesday last. Thor
valid Mostad and Oliver Saugstad
were present, the latter being elected
president for the coming year. Miss
Reishus was appointed to teach the
Primary room and Mr.. Geo. Bridges
was offered contract for the advanc-
ed classes. The several applicants for
the position of janitor received but
scant consideration, the board hoping
to engage Mr.. Bridges for the combin-
ed duties, an arrangement which has
nothing but cheapness to recommend
it to parents and taxpayers. 1t was
decided to put in concrete floor and
build an outside entrance to
the basement. The removal
of the barn, recently purchased
was postponed until such time as the
board secured additional ground, the
pupils having at present little but the
street for a play ground. Mr.. Will
Hecker was reappointed as clerk.
On Saturday, July, 31st, an election
. will be held to decide uron the nues-
