' Caehe Proud of Hospital. i. i "Cache County is the northernmost northern-most county of the. State, onefbt U tun's most picturesque and productive pro-ductive sections, surrounded completely com-pletely by the great walls ot the Wasatch Mountains, it Is a" veritable Eden, glorious In a wealth ot scenlo splendor, ot abundantly yielding fields. '$.. It has a climate that 1b unsurpassed unsurpass-ed by any place in the world where the four seasons prevail. There aire no fierce winds, no oppressive heat, no intolerable cold or continually. Cloudy' nklosv . , - jty Much of th'e area of the County is mountainous, thei Valley itself being about ten miles wide and forty miles long. Due to the great height and depth of the mountains to the East where great quantities of snow falls In the wlntor, there are a score or more of mountain streams pouring forth their crystal waters perpetually over the fertile valley. Cache Valley is without question the best Irrigated Irrigat-ed valley In tho West. It Is known as the home ot dry fartnlng 'and at the present time almost al-most 1,000,000 bushels ot wheat are produced annually by the dry farms. 'About a quarter million bushels bush-els of oats, 100,000 tons of hay and large quantities of all the other staple sta-ple agricultural products are yielded every year There are a dozen or more flour mills located in the va-Tlbiis va-Tlbiis towns ofJ(he &tratjMavtng'a total capacity of about. 1600 barrels per day, and the flour from the hard grains grown here has becomo widely known and Is in much demand on the Eastern and Western market. mar-ket. The Sugar Beet Industry in Cache County has developed into one of the greatest Industries. There aie at the present time four factories located lo-cated In the Valley. During the year 1917 Uhere .were 23,000 acres ot beets. There will be harvested more than 200,000 ions of beets that will mean $1,500,000 dollars to bo distributed among the farmers ot the Valley. Due to the high price of beets there are many farmers who are bo-lng bo-lng attracted by beet crops and it is predicted that 1918 will be the banner year for (the production pt beets. Cache County Is fast becoming becom-ing one ot the principal sugar beet sections ot the West. Bordons Condensed Milk Company is established at Logan with a branch at Wcllsvllle. The Utah Condensed Milk Company,,ls established at Richmond Rich-mond with branches at tSmlthfleld and Hyrum, Utah, and Franklin, Idaho. These factories do a total "business of J over $1,200,000 annually, annual-ly, Tho Borden brands ot milk are known and in great demand throughout through-out the United States as" well as In foreign lands. "Ask any resident ot Utah about the State's principal Industrial In-dustrial activities and they will poUat with pride to the Utah Condensed Milk Company, 'For more than twenty years It has been manufacturing manufac-turing the famous Sego milk, and 'evaporated cream known through-n - -r - . s y'-A ' ( out the West by the millions of housewives as one of tho best and purest creams ever put on the market mar-ket a reputation gained only by tho cars of experience and careful attention at-tention on the part ot its manufacturers." manufac-turers." Tho fame of Cache County as a dairy center Is ' becoming widely known tbroughout.the entire Western part ot the United States." With the advent of the Utah "Condensed Milk Factory at0 Richmond, the Importation Importa-tion of pure" bred cattle began until today thee' a't$ hundreds -of pure bred herds of Holstelns, Jerseys and Guernseys.' These cattlo are pedigreed pedi-greed from the very best strains of milk givers in existence and to any one who is Interested in cattle, it is a revelation to go to Richmond on "Black and White Day," the 17th day of March ot each year, when upwards up-wards ot fifty dairymen brlug their pure brod cows and other stocks out for exhibition. Already shipments ot Holsteln cattle have been made to Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona from this dairy center ami the purchasers have been well satisfied satis-fied as they have been able to get the best in the world ot acclimated stock at reasonable prices. It Is a well known fact that in the most agricultural countries that sooner or later the soil becomes depleted de-pleted and in many cases useless. This is nover the case,' however, in a country rich in the dairying Industry In-dustry because of the fact that nothing noth-ing produced on a dairy farm leaves the place but on the other hand every crop that is harvested is put back in to tho soil in the shape of a fertilizer fertiliz-er and therefore instead ot becoming depleted, the soil is continuously bo-Ing bo-Ing enriched. Beet raising aud dairying in Cache County are working out admirably together. Theso two great Industries Indus-tries are doing more tbnn anything else to make the people prosperous and tho Valley fa'mous. "What Cache glories In moro than all else Is the stability and sterling worth of its citizenship, the manhood man-hood and character ot its sons. They are self made and have always Imposed Im-posed confidence In their fellow men. From tho depths ot poverty, thru the application of hand and brain, they have developed the resources ot a once desolate and dependent county to its present envious position posi-tion An Independent Empire." Cache County And The City Of Logan At the mouth of Logan Canyon, located on the extreme East side of tho valley is the City of Logan, with her 12,000 people, over-looking the fertile flolds ot Cache County. Truly no better natural site could be found for the building of a city. Tho newcomer new-comer has very fitly said, "That in planning ahead for Logan the designers de-signers of tho rlty seemed to have taken into consideration the mountains, moun-tains, the dolts, tho streams and all the natural facilities and to have brought them Into jprfect liurmony (qontluued on Pago 5)- ,.

The pipe line from the spring to the reservoir has a capacity of six and one half millions gallons per day which means that it will Bupply a population of twonty thousand' Inhabitants In-habitants with three hundred twenty five gallons per capita per day. The distribution reservoir is built of re-enforced concrete. It Is CO feet wide by 225 feet long by 12 feet deep, having a capacity of one million gallons. It has a re-enforced concrete cover, and the whole is burled in the side of the mountain. The tire underwriters and others who are In a position to know say that it Is the most substantial and Complete distribution reservoir In the whole Intermountaln region. It serves to regulate and equalise tho pressure"; in the mains at all times, and maintains a constant reservoir for fire protection. During the season of 1917 an additional ad-ditional twelva Inch cast Iron water main has been Installed through one of the principal parts of the city in order td make the distribution system sys-tem adequate. . Many four and six inch water main extensions have been Siade unUl at the present time prac-cally prac-cally every part of the city is adequately ade-quately supplied. Street Favenaesit Mr. William F. Long, District Engineer En-gineer for the Portland Cement Association As-sociation in one of his articles says: "It Is a wellr"recognlied fact that the City of Logan Is the cleanest and most neatly appearing town in the State of Utah; and If the whole truth were known, It would In all probability rank among the cleaneBt towns in the entire United States." "What is the reason for this dls-tlncilve' dls-tlncilve' reputation which1-Logan en-Joys, en-Joys, and, of which she is so Justly proud: If you were 'to visit that city, you would not be long In finding find-ing out-r-an you wouldnjt have to be told either; It la nothing -more-nothing else, than Its beautiful streets of clean and light colo'red Portland Cement Concrete of which, there arenow a total of approximately approximate-ly 100,000 square yards. Such yardage yard-age would be sufficient to pave a road 16 feet In width for a distance exceeding ten miles." It Is evident that Mr. Long Is not Lnly enthusiast a,buUan, In bis Jaijtelut; , i point with pride to a "living example" exam-ple" of Cement Concrete Pavement, which, o course, his comfcfrnyjisjjji;; forested In promoting. Be that as It may, Mr. Long may well refer anyone to Logan City pavements. Their appearance ap-pearance to the newcomer Js extremely ex-tremely pleasing and the oftener he comes the bettor ho is pleased. Them are no streets in tho country wulcU have a cleaner or more pleasing appearance ap-pearance as to durability. The pavements pave-ments Installed three years ago are hardly distinguishable from that recently re-cently placed. And after all is said. It must be admitted that the large quantities of clean, substantial pavements pave-ments add greatly to the attractiveness,' attractive-ness,' convenience and cleanliness of Logan. ' Municipal City Plant .Logan owns and operates an elec-trie elec-trie trie' light plant, which has been In operation continuously for the past fifteen years. .It furnishes light during the twenty-four hours of the day to its customers at a flat rate of 15 cents per light per month.

Logan has a modern sewer system sys-tem which Is rapidly being extended to all parts of, he City. ,It contributes contrib-utes largely to the healthful conditions condi-tions and the remarkably low death rate. , , A Clean City Logan was first In state In 19161 and may be In 1917. (See State Board of Health In Salt Lake for a detailed Information.) Fire Department On January 1, 1917, Logan City Fire Department was changed from a volunteer to a paid department, und Is now classed among the best fire departments In the country, the department consist of six firemen, one American LarFance triple combination,, com-bination,, one combination, one chemical chem-ical engine and two modern-smoke helmets, three thousand feet of 2 1-2 inch hose and seven hundred feet of 3-4 Inch or chemical hose.

The large steel electric Interurban cars rolling Into Logan every two houm loaded with people has mude Logan the common distributing point and the shopping center for the twenty-four towns of the valley. For this reason it Is truly stated that Logan handles a larger volume of business than any other city In the State in proportion to its population.

Logan Caayoa In picturesque Logan Canyon hundreds hun-dreds of fatoillles have summer homes and along the mountain streams Utabns from all parts of the State rusticate during the summer months. The scenic beauty of the Canyon the entire distance from Logan to Garden City on Bear Lake Is a marvel mar-vel and a joy to all who have been fortunate enough to make the trip. The road through the Canyon is not only extremely important and enjoyable enjoy-able to tourists and recreation seekers seek-ers visiting Bear Lake, but it is by far the most scenic and besjt route out of he State to the National Park. Tourists who ge by way of Sal) Lake, Ogden, Brigham City, Logaa Lo-gaa and through Logan Canyon to Bear Lake, thence on 'to the Park will find frequent and most desirable desir-able stopping places, so that their drives may not be lang'Japd tedious.' When the Federal Aid Road Act was' approved -by the President iu 1916 the Utah State Road Commission Commis-sion made application for a part of the National Forest road approprla-UonUo approprla-UonUo be'expended upon the Logan Garden City Road. As a renult, early In the suknmer of 1917. the Secretary Secre-tary of Agriculture, through the Forest For-est Supervisor at Ogden, the State Road Commission ol Utah, .and the County Commissioners of Cache and Rich Counties agreed upon a contract whereby .an expenditure of 'upwards of $60,000 will be made and a first class highway constructed, through Logan Canyon from Logan to Garden Gar-den City, to be known as the Logan Garden City Project. The work Is all to be done under the supervision of the Secretary of Agriculture. A maintenance main-tenance fund of S100 per mile per annum lsv provided. The surveys, plans and specifications will be finished fin-ished by the first of the year and construction work will be started early In the spring.
