New German Meeting House

A Race that Does not Let the Right Hand Know What the left Hand Does.

The new meeting house of the Germans is almost finished and when completed will give them a neat and cozy place to meet in and hold their socials. The presidency of the Germans, of which Joseph Moser is president, have surely made a move in the right direction when they undertook the renovation and addition to the old building. The Germans have increased materially since they first erected a house of their own about 25 or 30 years ago, and they had to provide more room so as to accommodate all of the people who are attending the German meetings every Sunday.

A maple floor was put down and an addition added to the old house in the rear. The house has also been wired and electric lights been installed so that taking it all in all it is now very comfortable for any and all purposes.

Next Monday, February 23rd, the "German's will celebrate the event by a grand banquet and ball. The banquet is for all married Germans in the City at one o'clock P. M., and in the evening there will be a dance for all of them, beginning at 8 P. M.

To our knowledge Logan is about the only place in Utah and Idaho where the Germans own their own hall.

They are a hard-working, honest, industrious people and very much appreciated wherever they reside. And that is not all, you will find upon investigation that they belong to that class of people who pay for everything they get, and get what they can pay for. As far as they are concerned the cash system could have been established long ago, for they are honest cash buyers only.

The improvement on their meeting house, when completed will cost about $1000 or a little over and as stated above are a credit to the enterprise and push of [t]his sturdy race. -
