Ogden acknowledges with thanks to the
sender copy Of the great speech delivered
by Hon. William NJ. Stewart of Nevada,
May -, 1880, on the subject Of the demone-
tization OF silver. 1t was grand speech,
by one who thoroughly understand az
about silver.
c. e. Maynes resignation was not as
president Of the company bearing his name,
but as president of the Ogden Power COM
pany. The plans of the latter company
will in no manner be interfered with, as
solid citizens of Ogden and San Francisco
are vitality interested in carrying them out.
The resignation simply delays the work
for short time.
The ladies of the Fifth ward and the city
solons meet on the same night, both to do
business, each of a different character.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if the council
men and aldermen would visit the ladies
and partake of some refreshing and deli
cious strawberries and cream before com
mencing their session? 1t might have a re-
fining effect, and aid them in their delibera-
tions.
The ground is drying up very fast. The
dust is flying in the streets. But the own
ers of little gardens are the ones who do
the most kicking, because they know that
without moisture their crops are liable to
come to grief. Tho arrangements for dis
tributing the ditch water on the bench are
not of the best, and the attention of Presl-
dent Larkins is very respectfully called to
that fact.
Editor Frank j. Cannon has Just returned
TO Ogden from an extended eastern trip
While absent he visited Washington and
appeared before and enlightened a con-
gressioaal committee upon the disfran chise-
ment bill-a bill which is not wanted by,
NOR asked for, except by small minority of
the non Mormons of the territory. What

leading Liberals in this city is that the bill

this session of Congress-
The Grand lodge of the knights of
Pythias of the Utah jurisdiction (Which IN
cludes Utah and Idaho) will assemble in
Ogden on the 18th instant Great prepa-
rations are being made by the local lodge
to royalty entertain their visiting brothers
There will be banquet and ball and an
excursion to one ofrthe lake resorts: which
one has not yet been determined 1t all
depends upon which ''grasping railroad
monopoly will give the boys the best
terms. It goes without saying that the
visiting knights will thoroughly enjoy
= themselves while being entertained by
= their brothers Of the junction city.
1t will soon be too warm TO enjoy city
life. Then all who can will HE themselve:
away to the deep, dark cafions and shady
hooks, which are charming feature of the
majestic Wasatch, to baSk Ill the shade anC
drink in the inspiration from the purer at
moSphere OF uncontamlnated regions. Tht
suburban retreats will be well patronizeC
this year, after the close of the carniva
season. Pity that all could not go and deser
the city for a time. Then all would return
refreshed, prepared to take up and carry
on the burdens of life with better hear
and stronger resolves to periodically holC
aloft the flag of their country.
The fragrance of new mown hay fills The
air and partially neutralizes the odor:
which arise from the garbage and refuse
lying around SO promiscuously. Hay-cut
I! ting has now commenced AMI the first Cror
of lucern is being harvested and hauled int
the city. Last season the first cror
sold at from five dollars to six dol
lars per ton, and when it was cut there wa.
slight promise that another good cutting
could be made. This year, when there i.
plenty Of water and every farmer feel.
confident of being able to cut three full
crops, the price has advanced to S. per ton
Very likely this advance is owing to the in
creased demand.
The Ogden of to-day is not the Ogden o
year ago. Then, except when the MONTH,
excursions from Colorado were in the CITY
things were rather quiet Now all j
hustle ana animation. The streets ar
thronged from morning till night and ava,
late in the evening after the sun has SUM
TO rest in the west The ring Of the ham
mer and trowel make sweet music. Ga
ecuipages dash along the streets and pedes
TRANS throng the sidewalks The situa
ton presents striking contrast to byg5n
times and it is pleasing one withal Visi
tors from the capital, as well as traveller
who fit from one part Of the country to tn
other, concur in saying that Ogden is nov
the liveiiest city in the west.
The fish law permits of catching trou
with hook and line only on aud afte
June 15 It is surmised that the rrovis
ions of the law have rot been rigidly oh
served, but the trouble is TO prove the fac
Of il be a fact. On every hand are oil
servable preparations for making an on
slaught all along the line (of the river) a
soon as the Introduction of the law say
''go." If every one goes that is gettin
ready to do So the 'sishiEg will not h

early and stays late, and after the rest Q
the boys have left the streams in DISCUS
he sits on the bank and ''snails'' the ifs

make Isaac Walton stand aghast could h
see the bishop at his favorite pastime.
