ness Notes. -st--

The Real Estate Board held its usual
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
last night.
A reportWas called for from the COM
mittee on licenses, but as nothing had
been done by its members the commit
lee was continued for one week.
The committee Cd short form of deed
submitted the proofs as per instruc-
tons of the last meeting, and after con-
siderable discussion and several altera-
tons the form was adopted for the use
of the Board.
The President read a letter from
Judge Colburn, now in Denver, setting
forth in Cetail the relative positions OF
Salt Lake City and Ogden viewed in the
! light of q DeDverite and tending to
awake enthusiasm among our citlzeus.
A. A Rice, recently from Denver and
other easter points. was called On to
make some remarks concerning the
II cling of eastern people concerning our
CITY. He said that he had talked with
great many people regarding Salt
| Lake City and Utah. All acknowledged
Salt Lake City as the commercial centre
of the Territory, but they looked upon
Ogden as q railroad centre. With a
reasonable effort put forth, and the ad-
vantages of this city properly shown
up, which can be done by placing the
| points as they exist before the people,
| those seeking investment will visit this
CITY. As a commercial centre there
can be but ore place to invest, and that
is Salt Lake City, because of her size
and ability to distribute and Jay down
goods at distance of from $50 to 400
miles and meet any competition IN rates.
| The speaker urged upon the board the
necessity of prompt and vigorous &C
ton, and by some advertising medium
to place before the world her undis-
puted advantages. Pueblo's boom was
started by landlord sending out invi
Iatlons to seventy-five prominent cltl-
zens to dine with him. At the banquet
the subject of boom was brought III
and SIG 600 raised on the spot to adVer-
tise the town.
Sells remarked that there was no use
in Disgusting the fact that Ogden was
attracting much attention, and that VIZ
should not attempt to cover this fact
that our business men appeared to b'
asleep, while the real estate men haC
kept awake nights trying to devils
means to bring this city to the front
and that the time had now come TO
some one else to stand guard and work
That il was a fact that Ogden ha'
five railroads c. entering there, while W
could not raise one hundred and six
tv-hve thousand dollars, (S165 ,000) T.
start one rOad-that the Midland roa(
was coming this way but would e
north to q connection west-that thes
were facts that we must meet, an
those who were the most deeply inter
ested should be aroused and made t
feel that there was danger that thi
city would be the second city of Uta
|, instead of the great metropolis of thi
inteIS ountain region.
The railroad meeting to be held o
Wednesday evening was then discHsse
and it was decided that q committee {
twenty-five be appointed as commit
tee on invitation and arrangement. A
assessment of 81 was levied on eac
