Many of the excursionists who remained
in town to be present at the depot opening
left for their homes yesterday.
The last political rallies before election
will be held tomorrow night. The Liberals
will hold theirs in Lester park pavilion.
By running the sprinl1ling carts day and
night the dust on Ogden's principal streets
was kept down during the stay of the eX-
cursionists.
| The.platfoTms and waiting rooms at the
/ new union passenger station were "a sight
! to behold'' yesterday, when trains were ar
/ irving and departing. 1t was scene of
| lively animation.
So many strangers are coming to Ogden
every day that an excursion of few nun
! dred people does not seem to make any diff
ference in the number who throng the
streets of the city.
O. w. Powers and David Evans aG-
dressed a large crowd of people last night
at meeting held on the corner of Wash
ington avenue and Twenty-fifth street. I'M
der the auspices of the Liberal committee.
Several months ago the Baptist society
in this city sounded note of warning
against the increased and increasing vice,
so appare to the most casual observer.
If tho warming was heard it certainly was
not needed.
Tue Iru4t trees of every variety are
loaded down. Fruit will be ''drug' in the
N lrket this fall. The high wind yesterday
morning twisted off many limb and
branch which was too heavily laden with
ripening peaches.
If the regular meals served by the Pacific
ho.u company at Ogden are not improve
ment upon the 81 a head layout of the
banquet Wednesday night, passengers
passing through should not be blamed for
carrying their grub with them.
The name of the young man who suicided
Tuesday night was Selman, not Solomon,
as stated in Thursdays HERALD. 1t seems
clear that he was "beat" out of considera-
BILE money in some of the numerous gam
bling bells that flourish undisturbed in this
city.
A gentleman who has travelled says
that he has seen many tough towns in his
tours, but never tougher one than Ogden.
No one who is familiar with the goings on
of the h trogenious mass of humanity now
crowding TINS city, will dispute his state
ment
Under the heading of ga Generous Offer''
the Inter state Land 81 Town company in
form the real estate brokers that they need
not divide commissions on sales made to
the l. S. L. & T. Co. IS excursionists. Has
any land broker ever had chance to make
a commission on a sale to any of said ex-
ursicnists +!
F. L. Cushing, of Salt Lake, and E. J.
Ives, bookkeeper for David Kay, in this
city, have started on prospecting trip to
Wyoming, where they will delve in the
placer mines. They take with them several
of the dry process separatOrs, for which
E. A. Littlefield is the agent.
The statement published by Salt Laie
papers that it was not necessary for ex
H.,
date to have the tickets stamped was
found to be false when too late by many
who remained too long at the center stake
They have only themselves to blame for
Living to pay full fare back to their homes.
What a disgrace those dilapidated old
plank sidewalks on Twenty fifth street
arel The excuse made by the street COM
mittee for not causing decent sidewalks to
be laid down is that they are waiting for
asphaltum. Hurry it up, gentlemen, and
then enforce the ordinance and let the
kickers against the Improvement kick until
they kick their brains out, If any they
have.
Some persons who are uniformed are
blaming the chamber of commerce commit
tee for the 'snide'' collation. served at the
banquet on the night of the depot opening,
saying that 1t was money making scheme
on the part of the chamber of commerce.
This is absolutely false. The Pacific hotel
company charged the committee 81 plate.
and that is what the committee charged
no more, no less.
The most annoying thing in this world
is to have occasion to use the telephone be-
tween Ogden and Salt Lake city. If one
wants it, and is anxious for it, it is next to
impossible to be accommodated. And then,
after connection is made, the service is
unsatisfactory, because the conversation
INDUCED in is almost unintelligible. 1t is
to be hoped that Drawbaugh will win his
next case against the Bell monopoly and
knock out that soulless concern.
