THE NORTHWEST
xe,lswssoue Park to be Leased 60 q
New Syndicate.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The Yell
lowstone National Park will probably
have a larger number Of visitors this
season than ever before. There Is a bill
now pending before Congress to allow
q branch Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road to cut through corner Of the park
Ia order tn reach q mining camp 70 the
northeast oft. IL 10 not believed that
Congress will permit any railroad TO
desecrate the park by entering Its
boundaries. There Is no need oft, and
II one railroad Is permitted to cross IL q
very bad precedent will be established.
This park, which Is fifty-five by sixty
miles In dimension. bids fair In time to
be the great Western resort Of this
country. IL has to-day more foreign
visitors than native. People from all
parts of the world come 10 visit the
Yellowstone Park. A strong syndicate
Of capitalists, headed by Charles Glib
son, ofSt. Louis. have just leased from
the Interior Department certain hotel
privileges. The lease was completed
yesterday. 1t was made to Mr.. Gibson
direct. He has associated with him
Mr.. J. G. BulIitt and Mr.. Wright, an
0Uicer OF the NOftueIu Ehciuc initofut
Of Philadelphia: Mr.. Darlington, OF
Toledo; Mr.. Foley, of Minnesota; Fred
erick Billings, of Vermont and John ID.
Perry, of st. Louis. This syndicate
will put up four hotels at tl,e differ
ent points of advantage in the park.
Work will begin upon them at once.
The Northern Pacific with Its army OF
men will assist In fulfilling the contract,
which agrees to have these hotels all
done by the 1st of next July. The
building of these hotels Is the result OF
visits made to the park last year by
the gentlemen named in the syndicate,
They found the hotel privileges there
were good for nothing, and there was 50
much complaint that they made up
their minds to build these hotels agreed
upon 1t for nothing more than their
own personal convenience.

He Had oonsul,ed HI. directors.

A large proportion of the cotton-mili
property in Spindleville Is. as everybody
knows, in the hands Of the Haughton
family. who got it through the marriage
Of one Of the daughters OF the family to
the man who started the mill business
there. When he died the property,
through a series of perfectly natural
steps, passed into the control of the
Haughtons. Daniel Haughton. the head
of the family. was man Of great ma
tural shrewdness and strength of char
acter. His two brothers. Jacob and
Jehiol, were always associated with
him; but while his business proceed
ings were understood to be with their
advice and consent, Daniel always held
sort of veto power over his brothers,
and nothing was ever passed over his
veto. Ho is dead now, but the story of
the way in which he used to consult
his directors" is still told in Spindle
vile.
One day cotton-broker called at the
office of the mill of which Haughton
was treasurer. and offered him big lot
of cotton at a certain price.
This is so large q contract" said
Haughton, 'that really ought to con-
suit my directors about it They're in
side, and I'll just step in and consult
them"
Jacob and Jehiel were in the inner
office. Daniel went in and explained
the proposition to them and said:
"Well, Brother Jacob, do you think
we had better buy that cottonp"
mo, i don't think we had Brother
Daniel; not at that price,"
swell. Brother 'Hiel, what do you
think we had better do about itp"
81 shouldn't buy it, Brother Daniel;
not by any means"
''Oomr' said Daniel.
Haughton went back to the outer
Office, where the cotton-broker was
waiting.
"Well, sir" said he to the man, 1--WE
consulted my directors, and I'll take
that cotton at the price you namedm
There is story of a similar touch Of
nature in the case of the senior partner
of the cotton-mill at call it Bootby,
Conn. After his death one Of the exc
cutors found 1t necessary to consult
some of the directors. He accordingly
asked Mr.. Parks what action the board
of directors were accustomed to take un-
der certain circumstances.
Il do not know" said the director.
"Why, yes," said the puzzled lawyer.
'.you must be able to tell me something.
A director for many years, you Of course
attended the meetings and assisted in
the proceedings"
Growing momentarily more embar-
rassed, the director leaned forward at
last and frankly explained:
"All true; ought to know, but the
fact is i usually got notice Of a directors
meeting the day after it had taken

Cleveland and Autograph Collec-
tors.

An Indianapolis Journal correspond
emit at Washington writes: A person
outside Of Washington has no idea Of
the immense amount of time the Presi-
dent and his cabinet are compelled to
waste almost daily in writing autographs.
The senators are comparatively free
from this nuisance, when one compares
the requests made of the President and
his cabinet. It is almost system, the
making of autographs at the White
House, and the President has been COM
PEELED to adopt some method, or other
wise he would have to refuse the re-
quests altogether, or else be interrupted
every hour. The doorkeeper at the
cabinet-room is made the custodian Of
all autograph books sent to the White
House. He piles these dainty little vol
ames on shelf on his big desk and lets
them rest there until about five o'clock
in the afternoon, when he opens each
one at the proper page and then carries
the pile to the library for Cleveland's in
spection. The President rarely looks
over the books. but takes up pen and
dashes off his name in rapid manner
and passes to the next. Then the door
keeper carries the pile away. The Presi-
dent generally, during this hour, writes
off number of autographs on small
cards, with the words executive man
sion" printed on one corner. These are
sent away by mail in answer to the
hundreds Of requests that come through
Uncle Sans carrier. Some one suggest
ed to the President that he let one OF HE
clerks write his autographs, but he re-
plicd: Il am still able to use my right
hand and arm, and it does not take
long to sign my name So the change
was never suggested again.

The inhabitants of our mundane
sphere are to be treated to spectacular
display in the heavens before the June
roses blush again. A comet was dis
covered in Paris the first of December,
which is gradually increasing in brilIi-
ancy and promises to be grand spec
tacle when it reaches It's nearest prox-
unity to the earth. BY the first of April
the Increase will be more rapid, and by
the middle Of that month will probab-
ly become visible to the naked eye.
Near the end Of April it will be much
brighter, and it is thought that about
the first week In May 1t will be as brilli-
ant spectacle as was the comet Of 1881.
1t will be something like the comet Of
1881, astronomers tell us, and will be
visible the entire night. It makes q
nearer approach to the earth than any
Of recent years has made, as it will only
be about $4,000, 900 OF miles distant at
its nearest point. It will retain its
greatest brightness from the first to the
middle Of May, and will gradually fade
from view until about the last OF the
month, as 1t sweeps onward in sight OF
those living south Of the equator.

OGDEN CITY.
A Glimpse at Its Natural Advan-
tages.

| Ogden City, being the terminus of Eve
railroads. is the natural distributing
point for this inter-mountain country.
1t is the centre OF populous and fertile
country, which IS capable OF producing
fruits and vegetables cf every descrip-
ton and Of the finest quality, besides
being adapted 10 the production OF
cereals.
The present revenue Of Ogden City
from all sources is about $4,000. She
has an effi,ient city government. and
for city containing 10000 inhabitants,
is q model of order and sCbriety.
The business in the Police Court has
never yet justified the payment of a
regular salary to the police Justice.
Water power for innumerable manu-
factories, machine shops and other in
dustrial enterprises is here In abund-
ance; while the surrounding Territories
will soon furnish a willing market for
all manufactured products.
AS before mentioned, railway trans
portation TO all points east. west, north
and south are unexcelled By any point
IN the west With her abundant natural
resources; with her facilities for trans
portation; with the attractiveness of her
mountain scenery and beautiful sur
roundings, there Is no reason Why
Ogden should not rise 70 the CONNER
cial importance which her situation
commands. ...r.a .trlrfailrl-l ir
One natural drawback to the progress
of Ogden has been a scarcity of capital.
Another hindrance to her progress has
been the narrow-souled policy pursued
by the railroad companies toward the
city; while individual selfishness has
probably retarded the advancement
that might have been made. had Ogden
business men and citizens labored more
zealously for the common veal. r
In 1874 Brigham Young gave deed
to a tract OF land containing l31 acres,
to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroads, jointly; the deed contained
clause providing that the two compa-
MES should Immediately establish q
union depot, and make this place their
permanent junction. oti aa
How well the companies have
fulfilled their part Of the con-
tract Is shown by the wooden
shell that is used at the present
time as depot. For years our citizens
have been protesting against this abuse
o--1 acfc AcPcotcuil uIkcQ the IdllIOd0
ofncials to erect respectable accomoda-
lions for the travelling public. Their
protests have in every instance been
mee with promises; but to-day the de-
pot stands, as il was at the beginning, q
disgrace to the city and monument Of
shame 20 the railway companies. Rail-
road officials may claim that they have
fulfilled their part of the contract. by
virtue OF which they hold the title to
these lands; but an outraged and in
dignant public d. not coincide with
that view and is only awaiting an OPP
portunity to show their disgust in q
way that viii open the eyes OF the rail
road officials 10 the great wrong
which they have been perpetrating.
There are many individual enterprises
in Ogden, each Of which viii make an
interesting article and which We may
mention At some future time.
