TOWER OF STRENGTH
IN FINANCIAL WORLD

No illustration OF confidence in
financial institutions Is better offered
than in the First National bank of
Ogden. Organized as the institution
was in 1880, in u very humble way and
occupying small space in a building
on the present r. C. NJ. I. corner, its
upbuilding and successful career is
best told perhaps when it is stated
that today its deposits exceed So
800. 600. 1t is little wonder that Odgen-
ties are proud of the growth of this
splendid bank, and well they may be,
for at lis head is David Eccles, nn-
uuestionably utah's wcalthiest resi-
dent
Perhaps the bank owes as much TO
It's growth in the fact that since or
ganizatior, it has had but three pre-
sidents and a like number of cash
iers. 1t is indeed record to be proud
OF in any financial institution that,
extending over period Of over a
quarter of a century. such few changes
are made in the active management
OF affairs. 1t is a well known fact in
financial circles that the success of
financial institutions depends almost
entirely upon the activities of Its
presidents and cashiers. II these ex-
eCutlVcSE are lOunu lacking IN any OF
the essentials necessary to conser-
walton in the world OF finance, the
institutions which they head cannot
| succeed. On the other hand. when ex-
ecutive heads understand banking and
establish confidence in the minds of
the public, their institutions become
rocks of Gibraltar in their communi
ties.
Such without question is the posi-
ton occupied in the financial world
of Ogden by the First National bank.
What has been said with regard to
| the president of the institution, Mr..
David Eccles, can as well be stated
of Cashier John Pingree. The name
Pingree stands for everything con-
sentative and essential In banking,
not alone in the state of Utah, but
| throughout the entire intermountain
country and the great west.

WOODS CROSS CANNING & PICKLING co.
Tender Relshable Asparagus--the Latest Product

e . 3.
Situated about ten miles north of
Salt Lake City is a yeritable hive Of
industry. For miles around it claims
the attention of the laboring classes Of
that district and throughout the entire
intermountain west the name of the
Woods Gross Canning Co. is fast be-.
coming household term. Mr.. Rich
ard Stringham, manager, to whom is
to be attributed the growth OF this in
stitution. has partaken literally of the
pioneer spirit Of his father, who en-
tered the valley in 1S47. 1t was in 1892
that this industry was launched on
very small scale. Practically the only
fruits canned We're tomatoes, but to-
day there are more than one milliofs
cans Of tomatoes, cherries. apricots,
plums, peaches, pumpkins and aspara-
gus. leaving this canning factory and

the Woods Cross asparagus viii be-
found on the market throughout the
entire year People who have en-
1oSed this tender growth in the spring
time only will now be able to have
1t on their tables at any desired time.
The peculiar process which is observed
In the cultivation of Woods Cross as
paragus, Is a thorough guarantee Of
its replacing not only the fresh pro-
duct, but also the imported canned
goods.
Again, there is no part OF the as
parasus stem as treated by the Woods
Cross Canning Co. that Is NOT sodihl..
From tip to tip every morseI is tender

urban road between this city and Hot
springs, 10 miles north When the
WORK is completed, the company Will
be in q position to harCie large guam
titles of heavy freight over this line
which viii mean a great Improvement
over the transportation methods be-.
tween ogden and North Ogden With
the other fast growing settlements
along the car line between this city
ana the resort. The biggest venture
which has yet been undertaken by the
Rapid Transit company will be the
proposed extension of its line through
Ogden canyon to Huntsville, Eden and
the other progressive towns on the
cast. Capital and labor are awaiting
the word from the county commission
ers to begin on the extension. This
body now has the matter of an appli-
cation for the franchise under advise
ment 1t is highly probable that the
franchise will be granted after some
minor changes and the extension be-
probably be completed before another
year. The wonderful development
which this extension would be respon-
sible for, for the lands lying in and
surrounding the Eden and Huntsville
valleys cannot be estimated until it is
known that experts have pronounced
some of the lands which will be reach
world for sugar beet raising. An ad-
vancement OF many dollars an acre will
be the result if the extension is al
lowed by the county commissioner.
ACTIVITY IN BUILDING.
Other construction and building work
IN the city has not abated. Buildings
of all kinds, stores, residences and
warehouses are going up on all
sides. The most important structures
which Will be completed next year and
for which contracts have already been
let. are the 100000 High school build
ing; the magnificent apartment house,
now being erected at the corner of
Twenty-1ifth street and Adam avenue,
by the Peery estate; the mammoth
forestry building to be built at Lincoln
avenue and Twenty-fourth street by
Fred j. kiesel, which will be used OK
clusively by the officials, assistants and
attaches of the Fourth district Of the
eral building ut Grant avenue and
Twenty-fourth streets, which would
have been completed months ago had
it not been decided to change the
plans and build and annex; also many
other stores, theaters, and residences,
some of which have already been begun
and will be completed before the. end
of this year. Improvements in the
buildings of q number OF the public
of the city have also been
made duringe the year. Noticeably at

Easy To Mix. MIX IT AT HOME BY SHAK- ING INGREDIENTS IN
 BOTTLE.
Simple Home Made Remedy. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN vIcIN- ITY HERE WILL WELCOME
 THIS ADVICE.
Says Local Druggist.

What will appear very interesting tt many people here is the article taker from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription. as formulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder Arrangement, in the follow. ing simple prescription, if taken be. fore the stage of B rights disease:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harm less. and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription phar' macy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic affiictions with splendid results, he, could see no reason why it would not be splendid remedy for kidney ana urinary troubles and backache, as it has peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and help ing them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial.

 There is comfort in the knowledge SO often expressed, that Dr. Kilner's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use Of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne. cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best.
