| 1t would not cost much to drill well

Is there enough enterprise in Ogden to
make the effort!

plated is the proposed North and South
street through the block bounded by Wash
! ingtOn and Adams and TWenty-fourth and
Twenty fifth streets.

One of the large iron columns intended

examination of the fracture showed that it

Ogden certainly ought to have and should
own complete fire alarm system. 1t will
be found cheaper in the end to buy it out
right than to pay rent for three years or
so. The rental at S75 per month would pay
for it in a little more than three years.
Probate Judge Cross gets his share of
the hitching business. On September 34th

counter with Haefeli's bear.
j. D. Negus, secretary and treasurer of
the Salt Lake valley and Eastern railway,
has returned from visit to Sioux city. 1t
is confidently expected that contracts for
the construction of 10 miles Of the Pac fic

sooner.
The northwest corner OF Lincoln avenue
and Twenty fifth street, 1Ox1O rods, has
been sold to an Indiana man for $4,000
cash. He proposes to erect thereon mag
niticent building next spring. 1t is an
excellent location for business.
1t really begins to look as though there
might be plenty of natural gas UNDER meath
this city, but the shallow wells in which it
has appeared do not prove this. Let it be-
come demonstrated fact, and nothing can
check the onward march of Ogden toward
the pinnacle of greatness as a manufacture
ing and commercial centre.
The city council met at II o'clock am.
yesterday and made critical examination
of the work done on the asphaltum walks
around the city hall grounds. After con-
siderable discussion they resolved that the
work had not been performed according to
the contract, and required a guarantee
from the contractor of its durability, etc.
In all well regulated cities e'heathen Chi
nee" is relegated to some obscure quarter,
where he can indulge his natural propensity
for nastiness without offending the more
delicate susceptibilities of his Christian
neighbor. The time has come in Ogden
when the Chinese should be banshed from
the principal streets and their work houses
and opium dens removed therefrom. They
should have quarters in the suburbs, out
near the lake.
