OGDEN.
The Bully Burg on the Weber.
A Magnificent FIGURING Mill, etc.

Notwithstanding the predictions
regarding the fate of Utah under
la e railroad aspects of Utah, Ogden
is still going ahead and seems de-
termined to keep going ahead
EVeryw here the evidences of growth
are to be seen. For instance, be-
sides electric light preparations, a
street car railroad company has
been organized and will soon be in
operation-that is, as soon as the
necessary material can be secured
and the labor essential performed.
Business is quiet, but that is
true of every other city
and town in the country
worthy of business consideration,
and is purely temporary. Besides
the benefit Ogden derives from the
junction of four large trunk rail-
roads-the Union Pacific, Central
Pacific, Utah & Northern and Den
yer & Rio Grande-it is situated in
the centre of beautiful, highly
cultivated and prosperous erlitory,
all of which is and must continue to
be tributary to Ogden; and as these
grow and prosper, Ogden, in
dependent of her inherent
strength, growth and prosperity,
will partake of the good fortune
which comes to- her children, cities
and towns referred to. Hence it is
that Ogden is always assured of an
unusual degree of prosperity, and
while subject to the mutability of
commerce, is still as far removed
from them as any other cities.
Hence it is that her business men
have such confidence IN Ogden's
future, a confidence which is man
Tested by a liberality and an enter
prise that many wealthy Salt Lskers
could emulate with profit to them
selves and to the public generally.
One of the most notable structures
in recent times going up in the
vicinity of Ogden is
PERRY AND MACK's MILL.
The energetic proprietors, Hon.
D. H. Peery and M. S. Mack,
are saying very little about it,
but they are spending money
literally, yet judiciously. 1t is a
fact that will be admitted by all per-
SONS capable of judging, that no
finer mill when it is completed
can be found between Nebraska and
California. All modern improve
ments in Touring mills are en-
braced within this one, its con-
struction being upon the most i'm
proved roller system. 1t is SAID the
mill will cost in the vicinity of $780,.
900, and its capacity will be 300.
sacks of flour per day, so that some
idea may be had of its magnitude.
1t has, as its originators and own
ers, two of the most energetic and
determined business men in the
territory, besides which they are
both men of experience in the flour
ing mill business, and they are, not
going to undertake anything unless
that thing is capable of being made
a success. Their undertaking will
undoubtedly meet the results the
nerve and grit of the projectors de-
serve.
The county court is having an
addition made to the courthouse at
Ogden. It is a fire proof vault and
will be the height of the building.
The vault will be divided into four
compartments, one each for the
recorder, county clerk, assessor
and collector and treasurer.
The idea is good one, and in view
of the great number and inestimable
value Of the records, the discretion
of the county court in providing for
their safety is generally COM
mended.
The Salt Lake hanging and that
at Park city have been the subjects
of conversation for the past week.
The Ogden Coop, called "the
model store" is still a credit to the
thriving town Of Ogden, and under
the careful charge of Mr.. Watson,
retains the reputation which it has
earned during recent years.
Ogden business men generally
feel most hopeful and confident of
the future, and are, therefore, ex-
tending, pushing out, and building
up.
At the depot there are to be seen
many evidences of new methods of
advertising For instance, one car
is labeled weir Flows, for the" so
and so, giving a description of the
house. The side of another car
says; "This car of Schuttler wagons
is for George A. Lowe" etc.
Potatoes are plentiful.
Mr.. George Crismon came in this
morning from his sheep ranch near
Chalk creek, and reports a splen-
did rain there,and everything lovely.
[ should imagine from the exrras.
sion on his countenanc3 that they
had realized q handsome yield of
wool. He says they have seventy
two bucks for which they would
not take 300 each.
Will try and give you a trifie
more in a day or two.
Look out or Ogden will take the
cake. S
