with choicest music, we were greeted with de-
ligh tful odors, and for awhile we were dazed
with the beauty and elegance Of our sur.

THE GOOD ORDER.
The order on the day of the grand celebra-
tton Of the most important historic event in
the history Of the town was remarkable. AL
though the bar-rooms were kept open from
early morning until twelve o'clock on Thurs
day and Friday nights, there was very little
drunkenness observable, and with single
exception there was no disturbance of the
peace during the whole week, including Sale
Day, the election and two days of the Jubilee
The record is highly creditable not only to
the people Of the county, but to the guests as
we'll.
The town marshals for the occasion were:

The Banquet hall was decorated In unique
and beautiful style. Each window was
draped with a scarlet curtain and framed in

seen. nor was the starry cross Of our lost

of Miss Ellen Parker, who indeed designed

The decorations Of the table formed a pic
from the village and country during the aft

Among the ornaments on the table most
looked at was Il locomotive foot high, made

LADIES BANQUET COMMITTEE.


It was the remark Of every one who saw the
banquet table That no city or town In the
State or anywhere else had ever seen a more
beautiful board, and that nowhere could a
finer banquet be given. Gentlemen who have
oty IN
night excelled all they had ever seen.
The praise so gratefully bestowed is largely
due to the Ladies' Banquet Committee. No

assembly Of people in this coun try could con-
sumo that amount Of food. AS a consequence
a great quantity Was left in the pits, even
after the negroes had been fed.
This barbecued dinner seemed to be served
more satisfactorily than any dinner that we
have ever heard of being dispensed to q crowd
Of anything like similar proportions.
It was served in the old Fair House, a little
less than mile from the public square, and
about the same distance from the depot, the
place of the public speaking.
The tables were set from twelve until four
o'clock, accommo odating about one hundred
and seventy-five at one time.
And all who chose to 20 there had an
abundance OF barbecued dinner free Of ex.
pense, without formality, and without undue
restraint
And those who preferred to do so, went to
the New Hotel, or to some OF the various res.
taurants IN town; or else accepted Invitations
to some of the private houses, all (which had
open doors, and every conner found hearty
welcome, and substantial dinner, including
the necessary trimmings and frills.

home OF investors. The meeting was well
attended and good deal of interest was
manifested IN some at least of the numer
GUS plans, projects and schemes that have
Deen crowding on to President Nelson,
secretary Garrety and the other officials of
Ine chamber. Some tangible results were
realized when Mr. Carruthers' project for
factory for the utilization of the enorm-
GUS clay deposits in the form of pottery

protector himself leading in the piling-up

with $500 each. Considering that only
$4,000 is wanted for the establishment
5000 for the land, $4,000 for the ma
chlnery and $1,000 for initial operating) the
sums already subscribed, to which more
contributions are already being added,
give assurance that the factory will be a
great success.
Then came up the question of how best
to advertise the city. Of course, the fore
going item in itself will constitute power
full advertisement when in operation Still
printers ink, map display and other
schemes are necessary. Mr. Mayne, the
gentleman who is SO prominent as the chief
pusher of the Ogden power works and who
is an all-around investor in Ogden welfare,
assumed the responsibility of collecting
81, 200 to be used in printing a million maps
OF the central part of the union, Ogden to
appear as most prominent and pivotal
point.
Another great scheme is the holding of a
weeks publication Ia New Orleans Mardi
Gras jubilee, Mr.. Harvey taking upon him
sell IN a reasonable degree all the response
plIlty Tor getting hither 'sKing Carnival''
from New Orleans the week following
Easter Sunday. This implies lot of fun,
but also will require lot of spondulics AL
ready $1,000 has been guaranteed, the di-
rectors OF the chamber of commerce having
volunteered to either give or collect $500
each towards the proposed carnival. 1t
would be, if properly arranged and man
aged, an advertising move the like of which
was never seen or dreamed of in Utah.
Balls, paradeS, concerts, tournaments, bar
becue, theatrical performances, masquer-
AIDES and all, would form a confederation
OF enjoyment that would prove an unheard-
of chain of pleasure.
There are many other plans of advertis-
ing Ogden. But in the long run and short
haul, she will always advertise herself by
her own merits that cannot be hidden.

A Good Old Miner.

John G. Dolan, one of the most intrepid,
that means ''never-to -be-scared" min
ing men in the west, was in town yester.
day, having come down from the Weber
mining country, where he had been lock-
ing with an eye single to business at some
promising prospects, which will soon be
developed by an eastern syndicate VINO
will no doubt at once realize the great
value OF Mr.. Dolan's discoveries. o These
are in connection with some projects for
the smeltirg establishments that soon will
take flesh and blood" uunto themselves
ME-. Dolan is an old-timer and he knows a
good thing when he sees it, such as the
Garfield mine of which he is superinten-
dent and which, he says, is progressing
finely and showing all signs of justifying
the hopes placed in it. A number of Salt
Lake city capitalists have been interested
in that matter and they will come up for
final inspection and investment as soon as
the weather permits the climbing of the
hills to see the hole and the wealth that
there is in it.
