the past two years. In the through
registry business an increase of fully
10 per cent is noticeable. Recognizing
the immense amount of work put upon

additional clerks and carriers, but stu

able to cope with the increased amount

and his assistant Rufus Garner. as
Wen many other members of the Of

and day through the holiday rush.
Fruit Growing.
A significant fact in connection with
the fruit industry of Weber county
during the past year Is that eastern
fruit dealers sent their agents direct
TO the orchards and bargained for the
fruit before it was shipped. Peaches,
apples, pears and small fruits were in
especial demand. In other years the
fruit growers had to ship their products
TO cofnfnission houses in the eastern
markets and run the risks of having

IERE'S to Ogden!

HERE'S to Ogden!
n She has Just closed a prosperous
year and is at the threshold Of yet
another.
Her county tax roll shows an in
crease in wealth OF nearly half a mill
lion dollars
Her poulatiOn has increased 1000.
Such year of prosperity for the
farmer. fruit grower, stock raiser and
manufacturer has never before come to
her.
The Ogden-Lucin cutoff across the
lake has been completed and stands to-
day in successful operation one of the
most splendid and remarkable engi-
neerinE feats of modern times and one
that saves $I.OO0.0O0 a year to the rail-
road system which devised and had e
constructed.
Here's to Ogdeni
City OF wage earners.
There are more of them today than
ever before in her history, and there
viii be many hundreds more a year
hence.
New machine shops have been build
ed and others are planned.
New homes by the hundred have been
erected, new enterprises Established and
Old ones extended and enlarged.

ing the year. Sewers aggregatine in

strUcted-
Ice Supply Point.
The purity and abundance Of Ogden,s
water supply makes this a very desir-
able place for the putting up Of ice and
that industry has grown rapidly in the
past few years. The fact of this civ
being the junction point for the fou,.
railway systems, where the cars con-
tanning meats, fruits and other perish
ables are iced en- route, makes the de-
mand also great. The Rio Grande and
Union Pacific have large ice houses
and pack thousands of tons each wear
Nest of their supply is shipped in from
other localities. The pack of the local
ice men this year. including some put
up Tor private use by the large CON
sumers, viii be $4,000 tons. The bar

ment to nearly 200 men during about

Her growth has been steady, If rapid,
ana is on firm basis.
Here's TO Ogden, the city of schools!
New ones have been builded during
the year and others must be during the
year to come. A city with plenty of
good schools must have all the sub
stantial elements of prosperity, and
Ogden is a city remarkable for its fine
schools.
Here's to Weber county, that contrib
utes TO and shares in the good things
OF Ogden; and here's to Utah, that con-
tributes to ana shares in the prosperity
Of both!
Postofice.
The Ogden postoffice received and
disbursed during the year an average
of over $18,500 per day. This office has
come to be one of the most important
in the intermountain country, being
now depositary for funds from the
postoffices of a wide territory. Every
town In Weber county. excepting only
three In Ogden valley, is supplied by
rural free delivery and several of the
towns in Davis county are supplied by
carriers who leave the Ogden Office.
The increase in all departments Of
the office has been noticeable during

one-half by residences built by citizens
as homes for themselves. Probably no
year in the history of the city has
passed when so many wage earners
have built homes for themselves. Not
WithStaHding the great record, the de-
mand for houses is far in excess of
the supply For a year there have been
practically no vacant houses, every
domicile being occupied almost as soon
as vacated or if a new one, as soon as
finished.
Public improvements.
In the matter of public improvements
the city has kept pace With it growth
in other lines. The municipality now
has nine blocks paved with asphalt
Two have been paved this year and
three have been resurfaced. There are
nineteen blocks of macadamized
streets, and fifteen of them have been
done this year. At the beginning of
1904 there We're but four blocks of curb
ing and guttering done in the Junction
City. Since then there have been con-
structed six on Twenty third street
four on Twenty-fourth, two on Twenty
fifth. two on Grant, one on Wall three
on Adams and four on Jefferson ave-

for buyers OF wool, hides and other
products. or late years more strict
attention to feeding and breeding of
fine stock has been given, and the
county is especially celebrated for it's
fine horses. dairy stock and the better
breeds of sheep. Poultry raising is also
a thriving industry, and poultry prod
ucts bring TO the county approximately
100000 each year. The dairy products
from the creameries of Weber are con-
stantly shipped TO points north. west
and east, and the cream on the tables
of Butte. Rock Springs and other dis
tant cities comes in many cases from
the dairies in the vicinity of Ogden.
Building Record.
Records from the office of the city en-
giLeer. who is also the city building
Inspector, show that the building rec
ord for 1904 has been remarkable. Per-
mits have been issued during the year
for about s2S5.000 worth of buildings
Fully three-fourths of the amount is
represented by residences, and fully

it spoiled or sold for mere pittance.
The fact that the quality of the prod
Ucts had SO greatly improved as to
make IL desired in the eastern markets
and the further fact that the fruit was
produced in such quantities that the
dealers could afford to come after it.
we're the reasons for this important de-
Telopment. Hundreds of young or
chards are just coming on to the bear
ing period and much greater develop
ments may be looked for during the
coming year.
Stock Interests.
While most of the land OF Weber
county. formerly used for grazing, has
been brought under cultivation during
recent years, the county still continues
to be headquarters for the sheep, cat
tie and other livestock industry of a
large region. The ownership of thou
sands of sheep and cattle. which Craze

sentec in Ogden, which is a busy ship
ping point as well as the headquarters
