arches $50 feet apart are erected across
the track, and the rings suspended from
these. Each is to represent a knight of the
medieval ages and bear the armor of the
countries. The cost of the car
nival will exceed $50 600.
e. w. Mcdaniel. editor of the new Demo
cratic daily which a rival newspaper man,
who is good Republican, confessed would
sever the Liberal party in two pieces, was
a little more modest than Mr.. Hays and es
timated that the attendance would be
about ten thousand.
II think, y said he, 1.-THE people will make
a success of il. They waded in for that
purpose. They are very enthusiastic over
the scheme. The feeling between the two
cities is all right. They salt Lake. must
get lick at us occasionally and we must
get back at them.
Mayor Fred j. Kiesel, who is in the
wholesale liquor business, was found eX
aiming new device for holding the corks
of bucolic beer bottles, and after he had
set 1t down as an improvement on the old
wine attachment he condescended to talk
to THE HERALD representative Ogden's
present and future.
Everything looks prosperous. Trade is
100 per cent better than ever before; pro-
gress in every direction
"Where is the crowd to come from!"
"St Paul, Omaha, New Orleans, Port
land and all along the Short line. We ex-
pect to have 10000 people present. The
citizens of Ogden are going to put their
best foot forward. All classes are enthu-
siastic and will put themselves out to &C
commodate their guests. In fact, our people
will so into tents and turn their houses
over to the strangers. That is the only
way we call harbor them. at first it was
thought to be too big an undertaking, but
now that it has gone along so far every one
is working with a will The whole coun-
try will be benefited as well as our city !;
Salt Lake as much as Ogden"
do your people hold any grudge against
Salt Lake?'
81 do not think there is any bitterness
between the two cities, though there is
plenty of healthy rivalry, which hope will
not die out, as it IS good thing for both
cities.n
During the interview two we'll dressed
ladies stepped in and rendered their houses
to the mayor during the carnival. The
mayor barely thanked them, accepting theil
sacrifice as a matter of course, and ordered
| the clerk TO turn over a tent apiece in re-
turn.
Hundreds of the best families in the city
have volunteered their homes and will take
a weeks outing during the carnival, pitch
ing their tents IN the canon near the city.
ExMAYoR ECoLEs ON THE CARNIVAL.
81 have Just returned from Oregon
where l am interested with some Sal
Lake men in half-dozen saw mills" sale
eX-Mayor Eccies, who is one of the mos
public spirited business men in Ogden. %
heard great deal of talk about the carni
val at Portland and other cities and me
many persons who said they were coming
All know about the carnival is that the
First National bank, in which [ am in
terested, subscribed 81 600 and that the,
also struck me through another bank an,
in the Coop. From what / heart
in Beaver canon, Pocatello, Baker cit!
and other points and in the camps
up to Baker City there viii be the larges
crowd ever known in Ogden. | then frs
learned that they had the committee GU
holding public meetings to work up the en-
thusiasn. think the only antagonism be
tween the two cities is in the newspapers
l have nearly as much interestin Salt LAX
as in Ogden, and cannot hold any i'll feel
ing toward it. a good deal of the pa
blood is the same as that existing between
Mormons and gentiles. 1t is aggravated b,
the newspapers. A man coming to Ogdel
will go to see Salt Lake. The are plent
of people in the old country who neve
heard of Utah but who know of Salt Lake
a person does not feel that he has been i
Utah until he has seen Salt Lake,
Mr.. Eccles is so well satisfied with tn
; result of the money invested in the ne,
National bank building that he, with 10:
eph Clarke and the Browning Bros, ha
let the contract for an opera house costin
$3.50, 900.
