Great Improvements in the Past Year A Batch of Brief Notes and Comments. i Logan was paid a lightning visit this week by a Leo i, Kit scribe. The iniprovenien ts made in the charming Queen of Cache during the past year are decidedly marked. N umerous handsome, commodious educational buildings have been erected, or are under way; fine business blocks have 1 been built, and scores of elegant new residence are seen on every hand and many more are in course of construction. But in an educational sense Logan merits highest praise. It is head and shoulders above any oilier city in the Territory, excepting ex-cepting Salt Lake. Its cool, healthful health-ful climate; its limitless supply of clear, fresh, pure water and thousands thou-sands of beautiful, spreading shade trees, make it a choice pleasure spot from which to receive abundant intellectual light. Logan has more whitewashed ler ces to the square block that any other place we ever saw. It must be chuck full of Tom Sawyers. But probably we are wrong in such an inference. Logan may, instead, boast a lot of amateur base ball teams, whose considerate victors wreck their vengeanceon the fences of the town instead of on the defeated b.dj. bs. themselves. The air, the tree?, the water, the houses, the people, in fact, the eve ry thing in Logn n have la te 1 y been touched by the ''educational climate," and the en lighten! ng effects are discernible at every turn; whispered in gentle song from every' nook and corner. Glorious Logrfn; your bright star is rising fast into, the zenith of prosperity and advancement. Over 1,000 outside students will Mock to this city next week to attend at-tend its numerous advanced educational educa-tional institutions. Their board bills alone will bring $15,000 into the town each month. Sunday afternoon is a great time for driving in Logan. The streets are live with fiery chargers, drawing draw-ing handsome vehicles, occupied by splendid women, fine looking men and pretty girls. Refinement and intelligence beam from every face. The n ea rl y -co m pi e ted $ 2 5 ,000 Central School building on First street is a grand structure. It would rellect credit on a town of 50,000 people; Logan has but between 5.000 and 0,000. 1 Logan has a water supply which for quality and volume is unsurpassed by any place in the Territory. This will be the foundation found-ation of the coming city, of which, comp irativcly spe.nking, Logan of today is but the corner stone. Logan has the fewest, the laziest and the most impotent lot of lawn sprinklers of any town in the countrv of its proportions. We understand this wilt soon be remedied by a Jfo0,0o0 system of water works. |
