Deutsche Mormonen. Von jenseits des grossen Teiches aus Logan im Mormonenstaate Utah, ist dem "B.L.A" [Berlin Lokal Anzeiger] die Weihnachtsnummer einer deutschen Zeitung, der "Logan=Post", zugegangen, deren Verleger, Redakteur und Setzer in einer Person, ein Berliner ist. Karl Kowallis, dies sein Name, wanderte 1893 nach Amerika aus. Das Schicksal verschlug ihn nach Utah. Dort hat er den Glauben der "Heiligen des letztenTages" angenommen, und seine Zeitung versicht dis Interessen der Mormonenkirche. Das Städtchen Logan liegt etwa 100 englische meilen von der Salzsee=Stadt 4700 Fuss über dem Meeresspiegel in einem fruchtbaren Tal, dessen Ergiebigkeit noch durch künftliche Bewässerung erhöht wird. Es befindet sich dort das Brigham Young College, an dem die deutschen Missionare der Mormonenkirche ausgebildet werden.

Translation
German Mormons. From across the pond from Logan in the Mormon state of Utah, the "B.L.A" [Berlin Lokal Anzeiger] received the Christmas number of a German newspaper, the "Logan Post", whose publisher, editor and typesetter is a Berliner, named Karl Kowallis, who emigrated to America in 1893. Fate took him to Utah. There he accepted the faith of the "Latter-day Saints" and his newspaper promised the interests of the Mormon Church. The town of Logan is about 100 miles from Salt Lake City 4,700 feet above sea level in a fertile valley, the yield of which will be increased by future irrigation. There is the Brigham Young College, where the Mormon Church German missionaries are trained. The German Mormons are so numerous in Logan that they have their own temple.
