The Farmers Protest Against

FALL FLOWING COMMENCED
Wheat at Goo. With Strong Upward Ter.
dency-The Potato Crop an Average
One Brief Notes.

GLESwooD, SEWER County, Sept. 49,,
1889. Especial Correspondence of The
HERALD. Threshing is well nigh finished.
Crops are rather under the average on
irrigated lands. Dry farming has been
almost an entire failure with wheat, oats,
etc, but President w. H. Clark, of Rich
field, stated that he and others had very
good crops of lucerne seed on dry land and
paying better than wheat. He will put in
twenty-five acres this fall. The farmers
IN THE SEWER VALLEY
are making determined stand against the
practice of the cattle men in bringing down
their droves even before the fields are
cleared of crops, and turning the cattle
loose, forcing the farmers in many cases to
work day and night to get their summer
labors enclosed and secure from the
ravages of the hungry stock, which do not
stand on the ceremony of a fence, but
Jump over, or break down everything in
their way. Many have had to surrender
lucerue patches to them when nearly ready
for the machine.
Potatoes have to be dug before they are
ripe or be lost. The same with all late crops.
The farmers propose to declare their fields
closed till winter, and impound all cattle
not owned in the town or settlement. 1t is
high time that something be done to put a
stop to this unprincipled trespass on the
farmers late crops and their grass for their
own stock during the fall. 1t is said that
herds are driven frem settlements twenty

SIDNEY STEVENS.
A Big Wholesale Wagon and Implement
Establishment.

Establishment
Since 1864, Mr.. Stevens has been engaged
in the above business, and has constantly
gained ground He first started in North
Ogden, six miles from here, and immedi-
ately on the arrival of the Union Pacific
railway removed to this city, where he has
since been closely connected with its inter
ests. Mr.. Stevens has but recently been
established in his present magnificent
Quarters-a new three story brick building
on Washington avenue, opposite the city
hall 1t is thought to be the largest estab-
lishment and most complete in all its details
this side of New York The principal
building is l35x35 with plate glass windows
and fine offices. To this is added two
story, iron-covered warehouse 110X24
Just north of these buildings, across the
driveway, is a one-story warehouse, 245
feet long and 80 feet wide. At the rear of
these buildings are several other smaller
warehouses. making in all most commO-
dious establishment which covers one and
quarter acres. There is at the present
time about one hundred thousand dollars
ing 81, 600 are found here, and every kind
of farm implement from a cUltivatOr to
thresher or a sawmill. All these buildings
are filled to overlooking with vehicles and
material. Mr.. Stevens has an extensive
trade in all the surrounding states and ter
ritOries, shipping as far north as Dillon,
Montana The yearly sales are about two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Opden Canning Factory.

One of Ogden's most important industries
is of necessity her canneries, of which
there are two. The Ogden canning fac
tory, two blocks southeast of the passenger
depot, was visited by your correspondent
who found everything in good shape and
doing fine business. 1t was established
three years ago A. c. Mckinney, the
proprietor, informs us he has already
canned $1,000 cans of tomatoes this season
and expects to reach $1,000. He has also
canned quite a quantity of plums. About
six tons of tomatoes are used daily, there
making four thousand five hundred TO five
thousand cans. The first shipment of
new tomatoes this year was made August
oath. Mr. Mckinney has contract
for nineteen acres and is using nearly
as much outside of this contract
The principal points to which shipments
are made are Salt Lake City, Montana,
Idaho and Southern Utah.
Peaches and pears will probably be
canned later in the season-and possibly
some apples. There are eighteen women
and girls employed and eight men and boys.

time attending to its every detail person

house without his personal supervision, he,
of course, has solid trade, which is neces-
sarily growing fast Mr.. Brown has been
in business about two years, and has estab

He probably ships more eggs than any

Our good farmer wives clipped the wings
of the sugar trusts this fall, when they put
sugar up to ID cents pound in this country
while Sanpete merchants were selling for

little fruit to preserve as possible and
honey in many cases was substituted for
sugar in cookery. That's the way to choke
them on.

The Central Pacific.

The Central Pacific railroad connects
Ogden with the Pacific coast, and is at
present the only road leading west from
this city. 1t has reputation for being a
fine road to its employees, promotion from
the ranks being the principle its officers
work under. rs W. Knapp, the superin-
tendent is located here, as well as the local
agent, G. F. Brown, both being well liked
by all who come in contact with them. At
the freight Office are employed twelve
clerks during the day with two at night.
The dispatcher's office for the division
Ogden to Terrace is located here. There
are also quite extensive repair shops of
this road in Ogden, although the machine
shops are at Terrace, This road, with the
Union Pacific will occupy the new Union
freight depot which is being rapidly built.
and will be ready for occupancy about
October 1st The building is to be as fine
in its way as the new passenger depot, and
will greatly facilitate business as well as
add much to the comfort of the employees
of these roads, who have so long been con
fined to very small, dismal quarters in
which to transact their business.
The Central Pacific checked and trans
ferred at Ogden the following local ton
mage: May, l7,7l6, 1874; June, lS,564,OlS;
July, IS, 635, 737.

Rio Grnnde Mestern Railroad.

The Little Giant. which comes into the
city over rather circuitous route from
Denver, does its full share of the city s
hauling. The road has always been pop
ular one for travellers, on account of its un-
surpassed scenery as well as its corps OF
gentlemanIy officials and local managers.
Mr.. ]. Brnker, the Ogden agent, is uni
versal favorite among the business men, as
is proven by his place in the chamber OF
commerce and other positions OF trust. He
does his own rustling, and does it well.
We are unable to give the tonnage on this
road, as such figures are only kept IN the
auditors office at Denver. The road is be-
ing partially rebuilt, to shorten the mile
age, cutting off curves in many places and
making it broad gauge from Ogden TO
Grand Junction, where it will connect with
the Colorado Midland. This change will be
completed this fall.

GEORGE A. LOWE.
Wholesale Implement, Wagon and Car
riage House.

This concern is among the largest in
Utah, and has an establishment in Salt
Lake as well as in Ogden, each of which
does an immense business. w. H Turner,
the manager in Ogden, has been with them
since their organization, in 1870. Their
headquarters in Ogden are on Washington
avenue between Twenty third and Twenty
fourth streets. They occupy handsome
building 1876 feet frontage by 200 feet, two
stories high, fitted with every convenience
for showing off their stock, which is very
large and complete. 1t is estimated that at
least one hundred carloads of goods are
shipped by this house every year. Their
trade reaches not only over Gtah. but in
cludes Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and
Nevada points Everything on wheels
is kept here, as well as all kinds of heavy
iron and steel; blacksmith tools, finished
and unfinished; wagon gearing, etc, etc.
There are ten men employed, and to say
they are kept busy would be putting it
mildly.
The monthly sales from the Ogden house,
with its several branches are about two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

into not only the adjoining territories, but
fruits are shipped during their season as
far east as Iowa. Potatoes and oysters are
notwithstanding in large quantities and
re-shipping in smaller lots. Mr.. Griffin
has shipped several carloads of fruit this
season to Colorado and Montana points.
1t would be hard to lind a buster warehouse
in Utah than this one during the fruit sea-
son. Mr.. Griffin is also member OF the
Salt Lake firm of Hyde & Griffin. The
sales of the Ogden house for the past three
months foot up as follows: June, Sl3, $685. 4;
July, 81, 957 Is; August, $40, 24l.52.

Ogden Cornice Works.

Marsh & Sinclair, proprietors. This is
comparatively new industry in Ogden,
which has been instituted only since last
May. Orders are constantly being filled
from Salt Lake, Logan, points in Idaho and
Utah generally. The firm has come to stay,
as is shown by their investments in Ogden
realty. Eight or nine men are kept at
work and find it difficult TO keep up with
their orders. 1t is estimated that $50, 00C
worth of work has been done by this firm
since its establishment.

by H. L. Griffin, D. Kay and George
Tolmie. The last named gentleman has
charge of the works, which are located near
his residence on Twenty-seventh street.
AS it is yet in its infancy there is little to
report except its existence and present
workings. The special article which will
be manufactured is the ''Wasatch Baking
Powder the sale of which has already
commenced and the results have been fat

in their line
Tomatoes have been the only fruit
canned this season, of which 1000 cases
have been turned out already. The un-
usually early frost of last week will cause
quite dropping off from the amount
which they had hoped to put up. During

Houses. i,
The BUSINESS DONE.
The Effects of the Recent
Awakening,
SOME OF THE NEW INDUSTRIES.
A Showing That Must Prove Gratifying to
All interested In the Prosperity
Of the Junction City.

The Junction City" as she is rightly
named, has for year or two past been
unusually prosperous. Always good
town." she has only recently awakened to
the fact and told her neighbors all about it.
The result has astonished her as well as
the neigh0ors Train after train during
the past summer has come to US bringing
friends from all over the east to see what
we had to show them, and possibly to stop
with US. Probably few of this number
had any idea of the beauties and pOssibili-
ties of Utah till they saw them. Many
bought homes, more bought land to specu-
late on, hoping much from so promising an
investment, and many are still coming, but
there are here, as well as elsewhere, the
incredulous, doubling ones who need to be
convinced, and ought to be, by clear hon
est statement of facts CLEANED from relia-
BILE sources.
We have taken considerable care in gath
ering few items for THE HERALD's read
ers, and only regret they are not more COM
plete. Just at the present, our wholesale
men are crowded to the last degree with
the usual fall trade, and it has been impos-
sible TO gather figures as we otherwise
would have done. For city of Ogden's
size, under all her circumstances, very few
can give better showing than she can if
properly heard from.
Situated in the most fertile portion of the
Salt Lake valley, which is known to the
world as a veritable Garden of Eden,
thicllly surrounding by farming country,
unsurpassed as a small grain and fruit
growing region, Ogden must be of great i'm
portance, but when we add to these advan-
tages her railroad facilities, being the juno
ton of nearly all the roads Of the whole sur
rounding country, there is no room for
argument on her brilliant prospects. With
the exception of our neighbor, Salt Lake
city, Ogden has no rival for hundreds of
miles, in any direction, in fact, unless some
of the following statements in regard to our
wholesale firms are incorrect, and we are
sure they are not. The surrounding towns
without exception look toward Ogden for
what they eat, drink and wear. Ogden has
been asleep, 10, these many years but the
awakening is complete. She has grit and
energy, which she will apply to her natural
and artificial resources-the results are
only to be coniectured.
There are several large wholesale firms
here who seemed anxious to appear in the
list as doing a good business, which they
really are doing, but failed to furnish any
statement or figures that could be utilized
in this article. Among the number are:
w. and David Kay, wholesale produce
dealers, and the Consolidated Implement
company. Quite a number of industries
are not shown, owing to their distance
from town. Several brickmakers are do
ing heavy business, as brick is the ma
terial most used in all the new buildings.
However. there is little room to doubt
Ogden's real worth to the surrounding
country.

Their monthly sales will average from five
to six thousand dollars.
