CACHE COUNTY IS A
vER|TABLE EDEN

Cache county. the northermost
county OF the state. Is one Of Utah's
most picturesque and productive sec
lions, Surrounded completely BY the
great walls OF the wasatch noun
tains. It is q veritable Eden. xlor-
'ous In a wealth OF scenic splendor
and abundantly yielding fields. Away
from the main line Of continental
travel. Its advantages have not be-
come known 90 the world until re-
cent years. when its fame carried Il
across the border OF state line and
beckoned the toller in far less prom
ising and productive fields to cast
his lot in q valley where health
wealth and beauty abound.
1t was settled in 1856 by pioneers
who came from Salt Lake valley, the
first location being made in the
present site Of Wellsville a city ly-
ing In the southwestern part of the
valley. The county and valley get
their name from the fact that there
were cached the supplies and imple-
ments Of explorers such as Fremont
and others who traversed this sec
tion before the advent Of the pioneer
settler. The first organization of a
political nature was the city Of
Wellsville in 1862, there being in
the valley at that time, $50 families.
Cache county has a climate that is
unsurpassed by any In the world
where the four seasons prevail. We
know no fierce winds nor oppressive
heat, neither intolerable cold or con-
tinually cloudy sky. II has an era
of 1,1S1 square miles. aggregating
an acreage Of 755.S40. Much Of this
area is mountainous, the valley Itself
being about ten miles in width by
forty miles in length. 1t is perhaps
the best watered section in Utah. q
score or more Of mountain streams
pouring forth the crystal fluid over
the fertile valley. In picturesque Lo-
gan canyon fishing is unexcelled In
