will not attempt to talk about social
conditions here. If this lengthy article
does not betray in every line something
of Ogden's characteristics. outside of
the mere enumeration of material ad-
vantsges, l am mistaken. And yet the
city has a social life, and has just as
many aesthetic aspirations as are con-
sistent with western Vigor. Ogden i'm
proves upon acquaintance. L never
knew person from Salt Lake to be
satisfied with this city until after
lengthy residence here. But the oppor-
tunities for legitimate money making
are so much better in Ogden than in
any other place in Utah that people
from other points who settle here are
bound to become content.
There is room in Utah for two cities.
With a graciousness which we learned
long ago from Salt Lake, Ogden is will
ing to allow the capital to still remain
the capitalize become in time such a
reposeful place as is every other capital
in the United States. Ogden must be
the commercial metropolis. Her geo.
graphical position and her lnflity of
resources declare this fact in trumpet
tones Gentle as she desires to be to-
ward her older sister, Ogden does not
acquiesce in the idea that both cities
can be mutually and equally EN-
inent commercially. II is not
many years since Salt Lake would
not admit that Ogden was an
element, even the remotest sense,
in the CONNIE rec of Utah. Now that
the future begins to unfold, and the
faith OF the staunch Ogden people be-
gins to meet with reward and all their
courageous prophecies with vertical
ton, there is slight disposition not to
extend the quarter which was refused
to them at an earlier day.
However. there is no wall around Og-
cen; Salt Lakers may CO 40 here a. d
make all the monty wnicn they are able
to make, enjoying superior advantages
to those which they have at home. 1t
is only to- day that 1 saw some of your
principal fiuanciers examining realty in
Ogden with view to the purchase of
some costly building spots. Eventu-
ally, no doubt, your brightest money
men will be obliged to make the cash
here which they spend in the capital.
Upon glancing over this sketch die
tated at moments notice, it is discoY-
cradle that Ogden has been mentioned
several times, and that there is also a
pretty extensive run on the cap 1 box.
Well, if any man can live here five
years and not talk Ogden in his sleep,
and not deem him elf worthy of semi
occasional designation, he is possessed
of more than ordinary conservatism.
The city may be an e list and may
exhale egotistical air to breed loyal
kind of town vanity and a pleasant
kind of individual self-esteem in her
people; but Ogden can never be
thought better of by anybody than she
deserves, nor can her citizens be oyer
Standardization assertion proves that
the writer hereofis acclimated.
If any body wants to keep track of
Ogden's wonderful progress. let him
subscribe for The Standard. From
which invitation it will be seen that it
takes nerve to run newspaper here
as we'll as elsewhere.
