MR.. STEVENS SPEECH.
Sydney Stevens said the reason of the
small attendance at the various meet
ings of late was that the Chamber of
Commerce had succeeded IN making
business so good here in Ogden that
the business men had not time 10 at
tend, and are reaping the reward of
their labors in large sales and good
profits; that they we're satisfied with
the Chamber was evident and no COM
plant was heard from any source
Now the Chamber has done a
big work, it has distributed ad-
vertisipg in all parts of the
country and many le,ple were
coming and had come from abroad. To
be truly happy one must live in Ogden
or its immediate vicinity. That there
is pure air to breath is valuable Cou-
sideration; the health giving powers of
the springs III this vicinity would cure
all the ills that flesh was heir to. In
fact this is the healthiest city in the
country and DIR. Condor will bear me
out in this assertion. Those that have
travelled far know this.
Mr.. Stevens continued in this strain
for some time and nothing he could say
in favor of the city or of the Cham Der
seemed good enough to express his sen.
timent.
D. D. Jones stated that rybody
seemed satisfied with the Chamber and
he thought they were willing to liber-
ally support it.
The theatrical people predicted a
bright future for the city.
DR.. A. 8. Condor stated that Mr..
Stevens had stolen his speech, and he
could add nothing 60 what had already
been said.
Judge Gibbons was of the same
opinion.
Mr.. Stevens then said that he could
find other things to speak of, and went
on to tell how the Chamber had sue
ceeded in having the Union Depot built
and that they had arranged with the
weather clerk for an open winter 80 the
uncompleted buildings could be
finished; in fact, that the Chamber
could have anything it asked for. They
had only to ask to receive. The prayer
of the righteous availeth much"
