OGDEN, Jan. Especial telegram to
THE HERALD. The citizens banquet,
given in honor of the McNlillen g. Dem
ming Hotel company at the Reed hotel
| last evening, was perhaps the most bril-
! liant affair that has ever been witnessed in
Ogden, responding to the following call
by the committee on arrangements
''Citzens of Ogden: With ambition to
live,
LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING.
We who have made our homes in Ogden
wish to make it the greatest city of the
west. The untold millions of wealth in
agriculture and mining surrounding US on
all SIDES, will naturally centre here over
the many railroads leading to US,
II we are but true to our
selves. In the last three years
you have given to Ogden the finest opera
house in the inter mountain region; COM
pleted tirst-class, elegant hotel; erected
numerous modern business blocks; opened
the only exclusive wholesale dry good and
notion house between Omaha and San
francisco;
CONSTRUCTED FIVE MILES OF SEWERAGE;
built fifteen miles of electric street car
lines, and added three times your number
to the population of this city. These are
among the many achievements you have
} accomplished in three short years The
near future is ripe for newer deeds of
) greatness. 1t invites you to prosperity,
4 comforts to your homes, and added thous-
ands TO fortunes. The market value of the
property of the city of Oguen is
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
1.-THE organization and intelligent effort
of this wealth can work marvellous
changes in the growth and prosperity of
= this city. Doubling the population of Og-
5 den means the doubling of the wealth of
nine-tenths OF our citizens, and this can
be accomplished IN the next two
years. Private business, though valuable
to the city's growth, is separate and dis,

: view the welfare of, the whole city. Few
men leading, many of them frequently
without successful business experience.
without the counsel and assistance OF
men of city, often invited, but
hardly ever attending their meetings, re
