Guild her Eighth street establishment on a
more elaborate scale.

Paxton & Ross will open their glass and
crockeryware store next week. The store

adjustment will be credit to the city.
Mr.. George Barry and sister Alice went
10 Salt Lake yesterday, where they met
Mrs. Eisenberg, sister from Kansas, who

Wednesday The largest plates, measur-
ing S6xl5l inches, are for the new National
bank building; the others, 6Oxll2, will be
used in the Peery building which is almost

The Standard reports having received
peaches of an enormous size, brought in by
James Barker, of North Ogden, and Joseph
Tyrell, of this city, the former having four
free stones measuring ten and half inches
ia circumference Better still, a whole
basket was left at the Office. So sorry we
are not a Standard boy.
Mr. A Corey reports work progressing
rapidly at ThompsOn's and says they hope
70 have their contracts all completed by
the latter part of October. The Midland
contract he considers a heavy one, but
they are fully prepared for the work. 1t
will require the personal attention of both
himself and Mr. Watts.
Work on the new brick building Just
west Of the u. G. NJ. l. to be built by
Smuin & Thomas, George j. Marsh and
Charles Woodmansee, has begun in earnest.
The south side of Twenty-fourth street
mas heretofore been the favorite side for
business, but we predict the north side
will be rapidly filled up with good business
houses in the near future.
1t has been thought that the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad would abandon their
Marshall pass route, but local officials of
that road deem this highly improbable, as
there are number of highly flourishing
towns along that line which will amply
Justify regular trains. Mr. Brinker, the,
Rio Grande Western agent, says, "When
we are broad gagged right through, look
out for busy times on the Rio Grande
Western"
The building now in progress will have
100 feet and 10 inches frontage and depth
Of los feet 1t will be built entirely of
stone and brick and be as nearly tire-proof
AS can be from the materials to be obtained
in the vicinity. The basement viii be "
feet in height, and will extend under the
sidewalk The lower floor win be Is feet,
the second IA and the third l3 in height. AS
yet it is undecided whether the building
will be three or four stories. There will
be four good store rooms on the first floor
and in all probability offices on the other
floors, although a hotel is spoken of in
shiS injection.
Mayor Kiesel says the city authorities
are doing their best TO clean out the ques-
tionable characters who of late are throng-
ing the streets. Twice quite recently the
Grant avenue headquarters near Twenty
nth street have been completely over
hauled by the police and its inmates ar
rested, but no sooner has this been &C
cOmplished than fresh arrivals take pos
session. The police have strict orders to
attend TO this matter faithfully, and it is
Thought they are doing their best. How
ever, unless the number Of unfOrtunateS
decreases in Ogden, it would seem a wise
plan 70 nave an auOlIlOudl ponce IOrCe. Ole
ching is certain, unless the immoral ele
ment subsidies in our fair city, many would
be good citizens, from the east particularly,
will be kept away by reports which are
sure to be carried and quite likely to be ex-
aggerated. 1t is true ''booms" are usually
accompanied by all these things, but is that
any reason for negligence It's the boom
that brings the wickedness, not the reverse,
surely, and they should be separated as fast
. a.. ,,o.Sihla We hone this iC banU accom-
plished as speedily as can be.
