and with Elaine lost the election to Grover 

 Cleveland. 



In appearance he was striking; his most dis- 

 tinguishing feature was his hair, which, being 

 unusually long and jet black, prompted his as- 

 sociates affection- 

 ately to call him 

 "Black Jack Lo- 

 gan." In 1851 he 

 was graduated 

 from Louisville 

 University and 

 was admitted to 

 the bar. He was 

 a member of the 

 Illinois legislature 

 in 1852-1853 and 

 in 1856-1857, and 

 was elected to JOHN A. LOGAN 



Congress in 1858 as a Douglas Democrat, where 

 he served until he entered the army in 1861. 

 He distinguished himself in the siege of Vicks- 

 burg, his command being the first to enter the 

 town, of which he was appointed military gov- 

 ernor, and he also accompanied Sherman in his 

 march to Atlanta. As a Republican . he was 

 elected to Congress from Illinois for two terms 

 and was a House manager of the impeachment 

 of President Andrew Johnson. After his de- 

 feat for the nomination for the Presidency he 

 was elected to the United States Senate. He 

 died in Washington, December 26, 1886. 



He wrote The Great Conspiracy: Its Origin 

 and H-istory, a book which was naturally a par- 

 tisan account of the war. 



LOGAN, MOUNT, the loftiest mountain peak 

 in Canada, and with the exception of Mount 

 McKinley the loftiest in North America. Its 

 summit is 19,539 feet above sea level. It is 

 situated in the extreme southwest corner of 

 Yukon Territory, near the Alaska boundary, 

 and is a part of the Saint Elias Mountains 

 (which see). Mount Saint Elias, from which 

 the range takes its name, lies a few miles to the 

 southwest. Until 1898, when the altitude of 

 Mount McKinley was ascertained, Mount Lo- 

 gan was believed to be the highest peak in 

 North America. It was named for Sir William 

 E. Logan (1798-1875), the first director, from 

 1842 to 1869, of the Canadian Geological Sur- 

 vey. 



Descending from the southern slopes of Mount 

 Logan, and extending into Alaska, is the great 

 Seward Glacier, fifty miles long and more than 

 three miles wide at its narrowest point, one of 

 the most magnificent Alpine glaciers in North 



America. It is one of the feeders of the Malas- 

 pina Glacier (which see), and was named for 

 William H. Seward, the statesman who nego- 

 tiated the purchase of Alaska by the United 

 States. 



LOGAN, UTAH, the county seat of Cache 

 County, is twenty-one miles south of the Idaho 

 state line, sixty-nine miles north of Ogden and 

 100 miles north of Salt Lake City. It is on 

 the Logan River, which flows into the Great 

 Salt Lake, and on the Oregon Short Line Rail- 

 road. The city has a street railway system and 

 an interurban line, the Ogden, Logan & Idaho 

 Railway. The population, which includes a 

 number of Scandinavians and Germans, in 1910 

 was 7,522. 



Logan is finely situated at the northern end 

 of a fertile valley nearly fifty miles long and 

 ten miles wide, a great tract irrigated by springs 

 and melting snows of the Wasatch Mountains. 

 Here are situated the Utah Agricultural Col- 

 lege; the Brigham Young College (Latter-Day 

 Saints), a normal school and the New Jersey 

 Academy (Presbyterian). The Federal build- 

 ing, erected in 1911 at a cost of $60,000, the 

 Courthouse, the Temple and Tabernacle of the 

 Latter-Day Saints, the Utah-Idaho Hospital, 

 and the Carnegie Library, constructed in 1916, 

 are buildings of note. 



The city is the commercial center of North- 

 ern Utah and Southern Idaho. Agriculture and 

 stock raising are the principal industries. Sugar 

 beets, alfalfa, wheat and fruit are extensive 

 crops, and thoroughbred horses, dairy cows and 

 sheep lead the stock business. In Logan are 

 flour mills, milk condensers, knitting factories 

 and a large sugar factory. The value of the 

 annual output of these industries is $2,000,000. 



Logan was settled in 1859 and incorporated 

 as a city in 1866. The commission form of gov- 

 ernment was adopted in 1911. M.R.H.

 brid, or cross, between the blackberry and rasj 

 berry, named for its producer. It was devc 

 oped in 1881, at Santa Cruz, California, 

 Judge J. H. Logan, from a seed of the Aughir 

 baugh blackberry accidentally fertilized from 

 neighboring raspberry, supposed to be the 01 

 Red Antwerp. The Aughinbaugh is a speci 

 of the wild California blackberry, and was

The loganberry is a strong-growing,
