The Odd Fellows and Their Friends
Enjoy Themselves.

The Odd Fellows of this city. accompa-
MED by their wives and friends, assembled
last evening in Keefe hall to hold some
exercises commemorative of the sixty
ninth anniversary of the establishment of
the order in this country. 1t was in
tended to be an transformations affair in
which those present would be given an
opportunity to enjoy themselves in a quiet
way socially.
The formal programme vas therefore
brief. DR.. Wyman acted as master of
ceremonies. Music was furnished by In
mans orchestra. Past Grand Master
Henry Altman delivered a short address
upon the general features of the order;
the objects which induced its organization
and the principles which all good Odd
Fellows lived up to. He was followed by
Past Grand Master Kuykendall who de-,
voted his remarks to the Patriarchs Mill
tant, the recently organized military
branch of the order. Odd Fellowship
was peaceful in all its purposes, he said,
but recognizing that the tendency of the
times was toward display and military
equipment in all secret organizations this
new branch of the order had been estab-
lished. 1t vas thriving wonderfully.
Wyoming now had three cantons or com
panies, but he hoped the day would not
be far distant when it would have a regi-
ment.
An exhibition drill of the cantor fol-
lowed. The company numbered about
twenty men. Their uniforms are daz-
zling and in parade would make a beauti-
full spectacle. The canton was command
ed by Capt. Murphy, who put the men
through a drill. Considering the very
short time they have been organized they
did wonderfully well. After Inspection
by Judge Kuykendall, who holds the
rank of lieutenant colonel in the order,
the canton broke ranks.
Dancing was then begun. A little
later in the evening supper was served,
after which dancing was resumed.
At the banquet the following toasts
were responded to: Wyoming territory,
and Cheyenne in particular" responded
to by II. Donzleman. ''The Degree of
Rebekah, Particularly the Ladies of the
Local Lodge" responded to by Judge
Fisher. Retiring and Elected Offers of
the Canton" responded to by Il. w.
Mann. H. Donzleman was elected cap
tain to succeed Capt. VIM. Murphy.
Altogether the Odd Fellows and their
friends passed a very pleasant evening.

TWO HOLIDAYS.
ArbOr Day and Gen. Grants Birth
day to be Celebrated.
Tree Planting and Exercises by the
School Children.
Speaking and Music at G. A. R. Hall
in the Evening.


lhE tDA1s
Arbor day will be quite generally OBJ
served in Cheyenne, The schools will
close, banking houses and many mercan-
tile establishments will suspend business
and the city will assume a holiday air.
By legislative enactment, gubernatorial
proclamation and custom, the day is made
a season for the planting. 1t was first
given up to the encouragement of tree cul-
ture in Nebraska but a few years since.
Subsequently, the day, or a date in close
proximity to the present, has been set
aside for this purpose in many other
states and territories, and its celebration
promises to become universal throughout
the United States.
THE SCHOOLS.
The public school children will devote
almost the entire forenoon in celebrating
the event. The grounds of the various
buildings will present the appearance of
embryotic forests by this afternoon. Trees
have been purchased and donated and will
be set out this morning. A short pro-
gramme to be rendered in the open air at
the central school building, has been ar
ranged by Prof. Churchill. 1t is very
appropriate for the occasion.
From 9 to 10 O'Clock a. M, literary
exercises will occur in the various de-
partments; from I9 to 1890 trees will be
planted in and in front of the school
yards.
At 1890. or as soon thereafter as posi-
Bile the public school pupils. teachers and
their friends will assemble on the lawn at
the Central school building, when the
appended programme will be rendered:
Observation-Disclosures, Spare That
Tree" Geo. Spaulding,
Recitation-'A Tree in a Desert"
Maud Hall.
Recitation-"Plant Trees" George
Evans.
Northumberland of Trees" Geo.
Gregory.
Recitation-''A Forest Hymn" Maud
johnson.
A short address will be delivered by
Hon. j. G. Baird.
Through the courtesy of Gen. Miner
the famous 18th infantry band will fur.
nish music for the occasion.
THE VETERANS.
John f. Reynolds post will fittingly OBJ
serve the day as the anniversary of Gen.
Grants birth. The exercises will occur
at G. A. r. hall in the Masonic block in
the evening, and the public generally is
invited to attend.
The programme Of exercises arranged
for the occasion includes singing and ad-
dresses by Gen. Miner, Hon. E. s. N.
Morgan and others. The affair promises
to be quite interesting and entertaining.
The great commander is not forgotten.
The G. A. R. proposes to make his
birthday a national holiday.
W. A Whiteomb has charge of the
musical portion of the programme, and
will lead in the rendition of selections ap.
propriate for the occasion.

1 think the general line of road can

do not think the grades can be less

l do not think that the cost of con-
struction can be lowered with justice to
a substantial construction of the work. "
While Mr.. Young has repeatedly a nd
positively asserted that his road is in
the fullest sense free lance, there can
be absolutely no doubt that it will be a
great temptation to roads coming this
way. 1t will be coveted by all and CO.
quetted with by many; and is likely to
prove very potent factor in bringing
the roads now rushing to the west. to a
more rapid connection with Salt Lake
City. This, with Mr.. Young's scheme
for grand north and south railroad.
the feasibility and value of which is
recognized by some of the greatest rail-
road men IN the country, will prove a
very material FEATURE in making Salt
Lake railroad centre We are only
impatient. The results will come and
we shall have railroads till our hearts
are content.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-25

this determination. Salt Lake is the
Territory. 1t is the capital of the Ter
ritory; the history of the Territory's
growth is identified with it. 1t will
ever be the objective point for tourists
because of carly associations, because
of its religious edifices ard because it
is the chief city of the Territory. Its
Hot Springs and its Lake bathing would
make it, if nothing else could. The
wealth of minerals of Utah lie south
of Salt Lake City; its coal lies prac.
tically south also. There is every
reason why the lines that are pointing
this way should come here; there are
none why they should not. And they
will come
Railroading Business has grown with
remarkable rapidity in the last twelve
months, and especially during the last
six months of the twelve. Both passenger
and freight traffic are growing very
fast. This increase signifies an en-
l4rged demand for goods, based upon
population that is very rapidly gro wing
As all railroads are alive to these inn
provements, so favorable to railroad
ventures, it is only within reason to
look for the early coming of time
when railroad, ew to this section. will
con end for this traffic "a our own
doors. AS in alI directions, the
great design of ralIroading is to
launch for new business. Railroads
grow with the couutry; and the de-
velopment of the country follows the
incoming of railroads.
What che Utah Central will do as to
the proposed extension from Milford
into Nevada and beyond, cannot say
now. OF course, the extension will be
made. The only question is when.
This extension will be of material profit
to the Utah farmer and to all in this
Territory. It will justify the
opening of mines in Southeastern
Nevada, and every man there will be
supplied with food and clothing from
Utah, as they will raise nothing of their
own, and there can be no competition

BI:H0P sHARP's IDEAS.

l did not think railroad could come
west without touching at Salt Lake
City; but it looks as though had been
astray. The Chicago & Northwestern
seems determined to Keep its eye
on the northwest, and that the line of
its road shall follow in this seeming di-
rection of the eye. No one can guess
where it may turn, or whittier it may go.
One thing may be put down with very
reasonable safety, which is that no
road in human robabiIity, will enter
this Territory south of Salt Lake City,
and fail to make connections with this
point. l have yet to discover any rea
son why Salt Lake should not be the
railroad centre of this section of coun
try, and this perhaps best expresses nv
confidence in its future Importance.
When a railroad starts for a noint
you may put it down that it will reach
that point. There is nothing more
difficult to change than a railroad. once
it has made up its mind. Almost with
out exception, Salt Lake is the object
i've point of every railroad now moving
to the west. These roads will come
here. They cannot be converted from

MR.. BENEFITS VIEWS.

The railroad situation in Utah has
not materially changed the past year.
But the probabilities that existed a
year ago are still probabilities. The
Salt Lake & Los Angeles scheme, like a
ground hog, appears to have come out
too soon. and has gone back into it's
hole, but may still be alive, and may
possibly come out again when a storm
is brewing.
The Salt Lake & Fort Douglas road
has been insinuating itself little fur
ther into the mountains as well as into
the expectations of our citizens, aud is
very likely yet to become quite a factor
in our local traffic, and contribute its
share in the prosperity of this city.
There is growing, and assuming a
somewhat definite shape, a shadow of a
coming event from Sioux City. which
bears, at present, several different
names, but which is evidently impelled
and being brought into material ex
istence by some one central force. 1t
is fair to hope something good from
this enterprise.
The old roads are in statu quo; but if
great deal of smoke means
anything, the Little Giant" the
Denver & Rio Grande, is evidently
being fired up with true spirit of en-
terprise that will soon break out and
brine it into a full developed giant
which will WELD all its power-as the
little one has done heretofore-to as
sist the development of this Territory,
and correct evils that have heretofore
and do now exist in the railroad traffic
of Utah. AS a narrow gauge road, it
bears a great burden of diff culties that
few other roads could withstand under
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-25

similar circumstances. However, the
Little Road" has had no cause for
complaint during the past year. It has
been fairly we'll treated by its . tab
friends, who have enabled it to make an
increase inits earnings on through bust
ness of nearly 20 per cent, and on
local fully 80 per cent. over last year
showing.
Had it not been for this the prospects
for it being transformed into a broad
gauge line at an early day, would not
have existed. There are the best of
reasons for the expectation that but few
months will elapse ere the D. & r. G.
w will be running broad gauge cars
into this city, which fact, together with
the wonderful scenery along its line
and the energetic enterprise displayed
by the present management for the
advancement of the interests of this
Territory. speaks well for the future of
that roads BUSINESS.
During the past year Utah, as Well as
Colorado. has been blessed by the god
of railroads. We have been favored by
the completion of the line OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific from st. Louis to
& Fort Worth from New Orleans,

making four additional through lines

All these lines are wor ing zealously
for U Jah business, and as every rail
road man is taught that his duty re-
quires him to assist in the de-

velopment of industries in the
territory reached by his road
Utah may we'll look for material
assistance from these new roads. And
We may expect within short time to
see all these great lines heading for Salt
Lake Valley and the Pacific Coast. 1t
is true, there is not sufficient business
here now to entice them; but railways
seldom wait until the business is estab-
lished. but look into the future and
push on and create industries and
make it possible to transform arid
wastes into grain fields, and bamlets
into manufacturing and business CEN
tres. Thus the force of circumstances
will compel vast amount of railroad
building into and through Utah within
very short time. And with them will
come men, money and enterprise, from
which the widest imagination cannot
predict too much for this "gem of the
west-Utah.
