The recent gold discoveries in Robinson

attracted quite a number OF miners from

well authenticated.
The Union Pacific morning train arrived

It will be great thing for Ogden when its
new system OF water supply shall be put

curing the hot months CT summer, as has

News from the Bear River canal is to

circle of relatives and friends.
The city council has not yet accepted the
offer Of certain citizens to purchase part
of Union square upon which to build an
opera house. The matter will probably
come up for determination at the regular
meeting of the council tomorrow night.
a meeting of the chamber of commerce
has been called for Friday night to discuss
the question of building an opera house.
Certainly an opera house is much needed
IN this city, and all who are interested
should attend the meeting Friday night.
Some Of our citizens have Caught on TO
the oil boom in Fremont county, Wyoming
Or rather they have located several thou
sand acres of land in the petroleum district.
There is liable to be a large crop OF Coal
Oil Tommys" in the course of year or
two.
II the building OF an opera house de
bends upon the sale OF any portion OF
Union square by the city, it is doubtful
whether the scheme will materialize. The
way to test the city's right to sell is to take
un with the offer to buy that was made by
some of our citizens few weeks ago.
Ogden's chamber OF commerce is not a
very enthusiastic organization, although 1t
probably has been productive of some good
A9Stgce it was started. 1t is very dlfncult
I matter TO get a quorum OF members to-
gethcr, even after continual drumming up
by the local press. This should not be.
Secretary Knauss is the only real busy
member, and he is always on hand and at
tending faithfully to his duties.
Citizens of Ogden who have the interests
of the city at heart and are able to help
along her progress, ought to confer to-
gether and try to secure the location OF
manufactures here. 1t IS fine thing 10
have fiue business buildings and elegant
residences, but the only way to make q
permanent and prosperous city Is oy
establishing productive industries that
employ labor and bring in money from
abroad
