ST. George, Dec. 16.-Washingtor
county has within its borders 20 thriv-
ing settlements, all of which, except
Silver Reef, are located upon streams
with a view to farming and fruit-grow-
ing. Her population is now about 5000,
and her products cover almost every
variety of fruit and vegetables. In parts
her climate is suited to the production
OF tropical fruits and plenty of all
kinds. while in the mountain regions,
all the hardy varieties of fruits and
vegetables are grown. Being situated
as it is. south of the Rim Of the
Basin her climate is rapidly grow
ing in the favor of health-seekers. Each
year brings more within her limits
than the former, hence those having
partaken of its health-giving proper
ties go back eXtOlling its many virtues,
thereby inducing many others to come.
Many have stayed the year round, en-
Toying the winterless climate in
the south. and in the hot season retir-
ing 70 Pine Valley in the north, there
to enjoy the cool atmosphere of its
mountains, decked in the pines of the
colder forth.
LIVE STOCK.
The cattle-raising industry has been
good the past few years. The ranges
are fairly well stocked, nearly everyone
owning . few head, and while this is
not a grass country, the browse is good,
and or the whole, cattle-raising is a
fairly profitable enterprise. The ship
ments this year amount to over 1900
head, aggregating about S216000.
The sheep interests of this section
are fast reviying. The price of wool
is going up, and mutton sheep are
ready sale at good figures Good winter
and summer ranges are found here.
The wool clip amounts to about $4,000
pounds, bringing some $4,000, while the
sale of muttons was 5,400 head, amount
ing to 1900.
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICUL-
TURE.
The farm crops. together with those
of the orchard, has been bounteous for
the past year. The absence of late
spring frosts, the mild springs, the
freedom from heavy and destructive
rain storms, are conducive to this
abundant harvest
The grain crop reaches some $4,000
bushels, chiefly in the vicinity of st.
George and Pine Valley.
Peaches, raisins, almonds, apples,
pears, plums, apricots, together with a
variety of small fruits, have grown in
abundance the past season, going far
towards making this section one of the
most delightful regions in the United
States, producing fruits that are sweet
er ard more delicious than the famed
productions of that golconda of herti-
culture. California. Though we do not
produce the great crops that she does,
our area being so much smaller.
Much of the fruit is dried and shipped
north, together with large quantity
of almonds. all of which finds a ready
market in Salt Lake and surrounding
towns, at good prices. Many private
individuals obtain their supply of rails
ms, nuts and dried fruits direct from
the growers here.
The potato and corn crops have been
good, many thousands of bushels be-
ing produced. and a great amount of
sugar cane has been converted into
which is of excellent quality
and flavor. and has the one great ad-
vantage of being pure, and a direct and
product of real sugar

CHURCHES.
The various churches in ogden are
thriving and have almost without ex-
ception commodious and convenient
quarters.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints is, of course, the lead
ing religious sect. This society has a
large tabernacle with one of the most
handsomely decorated interiors of any
building in the west. Besides this, each
ward has meeting house adequate for
It's needs, and likewise an amusement
hall.
The president of the Weber stake is
L. W Shurtliff, and his counsellors are
n. c. Flygare and Charles r. Middle
ton.
This church is in a most furnishing
condition in all the wards.
The Episcopal church is a neat, serv-
iceable, stone edifice, located on the
corner of Grant avenue and Twenty
fourth street. w. e. Maison is the
popular rector "A commodious suite of
guild rooms is also owned by this
church.
Rev. T. L. Crandan is pastor OF the
Baptist church and has a large con
gregation, Which worships in q COM
modious brick church on Grant avenue
near Twenty-fourth street.
The Catholic church is located on
TWenty-fifth street between Lincoln

The number of machines now in use
by the Southern Pacific is "a; last year
not more than one-half this number

The Southern Pacific shops, erected
at d cost of $500, 600, are doing a greater
business, also, than during 1896, the re-
suit being an increase in the men en-
ployed therein OF about so, making a.
total of 16S employees in the car shops

pairs. is done herein.
b. NJ. Luckett is the master mechan-
ic, While Joseph Ludwig holds the po-
sition of general foreman.
The Increase of business going out of
Ogden is greater in proportion than the
lncoming-traffic, showing that the coun-
try hereabouts is finding a better mar
ket for its product every day This
statement is verified by G. H. Coarse,
agent Of the Union Pacific, and w. H.
Chevers, freight agent of the Southern
Pacific
The Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line, taken separately, would, of
course, show a decrease in their bust
ness in consequence of the segregation,
and, as their tables were kept together
during the year 1896, d comparison can
only be made by taking the two roads
as one for 1897, or, in other words, COM
bining their business.
The Southern Pacific in 1896 sent out
of the Ogden yards 1890 cars of freight
While in 1897 Including only II months)
they sent over the same route 25,905
cars. This road brought into ogden
during 1896, 22,21 cars, and during this
year 27,661 were turned over to other
roads by them.
The Union Pacific. together with the
Oregon Short Line, during 1897 shipped
east 16.972,S30 pounds of freight, or
9,725 loads, and in 1886 their total tom
mage out of Ogden was 1926, 1859 pounds,
or S,31 cars. These two roads received
into the ogden yards over their lines in
1897, 1891, 427 pounds of freight against
a showing of 9,3O9,375 pounds for 1897.
The figures of the roads for 1897 only
include II months of this year. but
show large increase over the year just
passed on all lines, both in and out of
Ogden.
The Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line have kept pace with the Increase
in business and enlarged their facilities
in ogden for the handling of their
trade, as have the other roads.

RAILROADS.
The railroads running into Ogden, in
Guiding the Southern Pacific. Union Pa
cific, Oregon Short Line and Rio
Grande Western, all report a general
increase in their business over that of
last year, in the freight and passenger
departments, consequently the works
IN each and every department of all the
roads has been steadily increasing, I'M
III at this time the business in railway
circles is greater than at any time for
the past ten years.
The Southern Pacific company has
Few months to such an extent that it's
facilities for handling the business have
peen inadequate, and the yards in Og-
den, consequently, blocked with freight
trains ready to be sent out To great
extent, this heavy business has been
due to the suspension of business on
the Sunset route, owing to the yellow
fever in the south, but since the re-
sumption Of traffic on that route, the
business has not geatly decreased.
The sucerintendent's Office gives the
information that an increase of 40 per
cent has been made since the begin
ming of the year 1897 over the business
of 1895, and the increase has not ceased
as yet.
At this time the same number of pas
senger trains are being run as last year
and they are daily hauling loaded
coaches instead Of only partially filed
ones
In the freight department the largest
Increase can be noticed.
The fruit and stock shipments into
Ogden over the Southern Pacific have
surpassed those OF any year, and this
increase, along with the other articles
hauled as freight, has necessitated the
addition of ten crews to the freight
list.
