Show Logan's Necessity. The casual observer In Logan might be led to believe that more Improvements Improve-ments were being made In this city than In any other place in the county. Comparatively speaking, this Is not correct. Some of the larger settlements settle-ments In this county are forging ahead In various vvavs. At Lcwiston, rcsl-denecs rcsl-denecs and store rooms aic being built and business Is taking on a boom; at Richmond, new and large buildings aie In courso of construction, and soon the big milk factory will be under way; Hryum merchants arc making an effort to retain the trade of tho citizens citi-zens of that town, likewise, Wells-villc. Wells-villc. Logan city and her business men must wake up If they expect to hold their present prestige. These are progressive times and call forth the best energies In order to keep abreast of them. There Is no use try ing to evade the fact that Logan with her 7,000 population and financial' standing is slightly behind, audita sudden change is not brought about we shall wake up some morning and see whore we have missed It. Some years ago the S. P. R. R. Co. was undecided as to where It would build Its shops, In Ogdcn or Salt Lake City. Uoth places wcro bending every energy to secure tho prize. The business busi-ness men of Ogdcn, through the Weber Commercial Club unanimously voted to offer the S. P. $10,000 bonus for the building of the shops in that city. The offer was accepted. On tho next train a delegation from tho Salt Lake business men came with a proposition far ahead of that made by the Ogdcn people, but Salt Lake City was too late. Now what Is the result? Owing to the prompt action of the Ogdcn people peo-ple that city has a monthly pay roll from these shops of nearly $.r0,000. All of this was brought about by oiganbatlon. This Is what wo want right heie to havo business lnteiests of this city and county solldllled. Questions of building county roads and electric roads to some of our settlements set-tlements can be considered and when unjust discriminations arc made against the city in any form, In llucnccs can be brought to bear to break them down, and numerous other affairs that will naturally arise could be adjusted through an organization If we had one. As we are situated at present, merchants go around complaining com-plaining about the advance In taxes. What good can any of them do single-handed single-handed and by mere complaining? Get together, form an organization, Let all the business men and farmers become members of It, for In tho multitude mul-titude of council there Is safety. Business Busi-ness men don't delay call a meeting, start the ball to rolling, and when once started it will bo difficult to stop. |
