The comparison between the appearance
Of Ogden's streets last Friday, both after
noon and evening, and that of Saturday
during the same hours, was matter of con-
siderable comment, particularly to strang-
ers. who are unfamiliar with the whole
hearted manner in which Ogden citizens
take hold of any project whether business
or pleasure. Friday had been set apart as a
day for pleasure and the merchants closed
their doors at noon, and the streets pre-
sented a deserted appearance while all
hands turned out to the lake resorts for a
day of unmitigated pleasure. Saturday
morning, after good nights rest all were
on deck for business, and such business.
From noon until 10 o'clock the streets and
sidewalks were almost impossible and the
business men report u heavy day in every
line A stranger in our midst, commenting
on the matter, remarked that he had never
seen a city so wide awake and which threw
body and soul so heartily INTO any matter
which they undertook.
Mr.. Z. G. Graham, the authorized agent
Tor Contractor Garland, of the Boutwell,
canal fame, has been authorized to sublet
contracts for the first twelve miles Work
has been commenced at the mouth of the
Narrows, on Bear river, two and a half
miles from the lake. Two thousand men
will be wanted on the work. The principal
sub-contractors are Messrs. Walter Mathie-
son g. Son, of Kansas City, who are old
contractors on such roads as the Atchison,
Topeka a. Santa F'e, and are thoroughly
prepared for the work before them. They
nave twenty teams here now, and will
leave for Collinston this morning, ready
for work Mr.. Garland is expected here
Wednesday morning with sixty more
teams. The provisions, such as grain, gro
,;eries etc. were purchased from the Il. &.
VI. |. at Ogden. the first bill amounting to
5000. Thus it will be seen that active
work has begun in spite OF the croakers,
who have all along maintained the canal
would never be built. The amount OF
money expended in Ogden will of itself be
40 small item, and the real estate men will
speedily feel the effects of an increased de-
-nand for property
