The dirty fling at Ogden in Sundays
Tribune is condemned on every hand. A
better class of counCilmen could not be
elected in any city, and the Tribune shows
plainly that the underlying cause of its
ding at Ogden's council is jealousy.
Ogdens prosperity should be 4 matter of
rejoicing by our sister city, and the feeling
that has been manifested by the Tribune
during the past few months is reprehensi-
bic The Tribune will gain no friends in
Ogden for its unwarranted attack.

A society should be organized at once with
a large and enthusiastic charter member

they can to make the organization success.

three hundred excursionists for Ogden, and
requesting that arrangements be made
for their accommodation. The letter was
last evening turned over to Judge Knauss, |
OF the chamber of commerce, who will take
the matter in hand and see that arrange |
nents are made, so no one need be turned |
away for lack of accommodations. Judge |
Knauss requests that all who have room
that can be spared, will leave their ad- !
dresses at the chamber of commerce as
soon as possible. A great many of the ex-
cursionists will remain permanently in our
city, and it behooves us to do all we can
for their comfort and pleasure while here, |
and let none go away for lack of accom- |
laodations.
