Rev. Williams Preached the Ser
mon Last Evening in the
Week of Prayer
Meetings.
WESTMINSTER CHURCH
"The Conclusion Of tn. Whole
Matter" Was the Topic Of
the Sermon by the
Minister.

The concluding service of the week
o. prayer as observed by the keoRuk
churches was held last evening at the
Westminster Presbyterian church with
much the largest attendance of the
week An opening service of song
was led by the quartet choir, and
heartily participated in by the congre
cation.
The meetings Of the week have been
interfered with In the matter of at
tendance by the weather. especially
Tor the first two evenings, but despite
this handicap they have been exceed
ingly Interesting. and il was regretted
last evening that they were not to
continue for one or two weeks longer.
They have attracted more general
attention than similar meetings of re
cent years-perhaps because more
carefully planned by the Ministerial
association, and because the element
OF curiosity was cultivated by the fact
that il was not known until the even
ing came who would be the preacher,
although the themes of the sermons
were published In advance.
Rev. Williams Preached.
The preacher of last evening was
Rev G. C. Williams, pastor of the
Congregational church, who is always
heard with interest By Keokuk peo-
pie. He took his text from Ecclesi-
astes 1918. in the Revised version
This is the end of the matter; all
hath been heard: fear God and keep
his commandments; for this is the
whole duty of man" his assigned
theme being The Conclusion of the
Whole Matter"
BY way Of Introduction he gave a
hasty ANALYSIS of the book of Ecelesi-
astes. book which has been the sub
ject Of almost endless contradictory
criticism. To some il is the work of
pessimist. who has run the whole
gamut Of human experience and finds
nothing worth while anywhere. 9th
ers say that it does not represent the
spirit Of humanity either at its best
OF worst and is practically valueless
for study. Il is one OF the problem
books Of the Bible, along with Ruth,
and Esther and Job. And the problem
Of Ecclesiastes is, What is there in
life" Il seems to be an utter fail
ugs The writer Of the book tests all
human possibility for the filling Of
lie and comes 10 no satisfying con
clusion save this, Remember God;

New York, March ga long and
interesting newspaper career was
closed today with the sudden death of
Joseph Swan. for nearly forty years
connected with the Associated Press

For the last month he had not been
well, his heart having shown signs Of
weakness
Mr., Swan brayed all kinds of stormy
weather alone In a roWboat day after
day, visiting incoming vessels to get
reports OF their voyages.
Many times he faced death in bisky
trips in the performance of his duty.
Thousands of men along the water
front knew and called him b. his first

later going on a mining expedition
into the wilds Of Montana. where he
met with many adventures. Mr.. Swan

ASSIST A N I
FOREST ER
IN OGDEN
CAPTAIN J. g. ADAMS INSPECTING
WESTERN HEADQUARTERS.
He Does Not See Much Local Advan-
tagc in the Forest Service ASK
ing For Bids on Supplies.

Captain ]. b. Adams. assistant for
the city today and Will remain until
after the arrival of Forester Clifford
Pinchot, comforting with the district
officials and giving the local headQuar-
ters their regular inspection.
Captain Adams is on a regular tour
OF inspection to the western districts
and has already visited the Denver and
Albuquerque Offices. He reports the
affairs of the department TO be running
smoothly and everything apparently
In the best of condition.
When asked regarding the rumor
that the Forest Service would receive
bids for furnishing the forest supply
depot with Its supplies, Captain Adj
ans stated that everyone. as In all
departments of the government. woulI
be given an equal chance 70 secure
the business of the service and that In
all probability local concerns would
secure their share.
L cannot say" said be, that the
western house will he given any pref
erence as discrimination against the
eastern bidder or one from any other
section would not be fair nor would II
be good business policy ] can saw
this. however. that In the case OF two
equal bids being received the local
firm or the one nearest the point or
purchase would be given the prefer
encc. a large part of the supplies.
such as rangers equipment, imple-
ments, office furniture, etc. is manu-
factured in the east. These concerns,
however. are usually represented in
the western districts by local firms
who hold contracts to the effect that
the home manufacturer Will not bid
In competition with his agent In the
field This condition, then, would
probably assure for the west a con
siderable portion OF the business.
Il was in Colorado for a few days,
but was not present at the meetings
between Forester Pinchot and the
stoclmen Of the state and their legis-
lature friends. / understand. however
that Mr. Pinchot, in his various ad-
dresses, cleared up number OF queS-
tions that were not previously under
stood by the majority OF the people
Of that state, and that there is now
stronger feeling of cooperation with
the Forest Service.
There is nothing, | believe, that is
so absolutely vital 10 the develop
ment of the west as the conservation
of our national forests Our aSricul'
tural growth and the maintenance or
what the west has already acquired
depends almost entirely upon irr1Ga-
tlon, and irrigation would mean moth
ing without forest preservation. The
intermountain country is not harass-
ed as yet by spring floods but In 9TH
er sections of the country they are
menace to life and property and an
nually threaten the destruction OF mil
lions Of dollars worth OF public and
private enterprises"

HE is SURPRISED AT
The GROWTH OF OGDEN

Charles T. Whitney, an energetic
and successful business man OF Port
land. Oregon, and prominently ideuri-
fled with the Chamber OF Commerce OF
that city, arrived at Ogden last even
ing bound east ON business and re-
manned over day at Ogden TO visi:
the family Of his brother, Super1nten-
dent w. A. Whitney of the Union Pa
cif1c railroad. Mr.. Whitney expressed
himself as agreeably surprised at the
remarkable growth of Ogden since his
last visit, several years ago, and says
Weber county and northern Utah have
an enviable reputation for prosperity
and progress from those who have
visited this section from coast points.
To Standard reporter Mr.. Whitney
added:
Portland is forging to the front rap
idly and is in the enjoyment of a
substantial building boom at present.
While real estate values are increas-
ing regularly and strongly. there is
nothing in the way OF fictitious valua-
tions in realty and the growth and ad-
vancement OF Portland is on a sound
and equitable basis. The business
men are conservative and yet progress
sive and all improvements now IN
course Of construction are OF a per-
manent and lasting nature.
Sam Hill. a son-in-law OF President
James j. Hill Of the Great Northern
system, in company with eastern cap
italists, has recently acquired large
blocks Of Portland realty and the par
ties are mapping out improvements
of radical nature. They have also
purchased the Home Telephone COM
pany and will extend the line in ev-
cry direction from the city.
While colonists and homeseekeTs
are cordially invited to inspect condi
tions al and contiguous TO Portland, no
glittering promises or get-rich-qulcK
inducements are held out to disappolnt
those In search of permanent homes
Il leave this afternoon for the ea5t
TO be absent several weeks, and Will
stop at Ogden again on my return TO

BANQUET is
ENJOYED BY
THEM
GAMERS OF UTAH ARE THE
GUESTS OF SUDAN.
Said to Have Been a Ten -Dollar-s-
Plate Affair-Voted a Great
Success.

An unusual function was participat-
ed in at the Weber Club banquet
rooms. Monday evening, which means
considerable. In way for the city's
advertisement and Its reputation
abroad as gathering place for con-
ventions and important meetings. G.
A Suydan. general sales agent for the
Continental Can company. a concern
which supplies the twenty-three OF
more canneries throughout the state
Of Utah with their timed necessities,
served an elaborate banquet to the
Utah canning men.
Heretofore. or until 1908, these an
nual banquets have been held in Salt
Lake and that city rather became the
established headquarters for the can
ming supplies. Last year. however. 1t
was pointed out to Mr.. Suydan that
Ogden was really the center of the
canning industry and an invitation 10
become member Of the Weber Club
was extended to him by Secretary Rey-
nolds. The gentleman accepted and
became member OF the local club.
1t was not strange, therefore, that
his increased interest in the city and
the form Of the idea of selecting Og-
den as the futureplace Of meeting.
Some of the canneries of Utah buy
as much as $4,000 worth of cans each
year and, as there are more than
score Of themsin number. the business
which Mr.. Suydan secures in this VI
cinity each year Is no small PROPOSE
ton.
AT the banquet last evening, which
was rumored TO have cost at least $40
per plate, number Of good talks were
listened to and numerous toasts pro-
posed to the growth and prosperity OF
Ogden.
In speaking Of the OCCASION Mr.,
Suydan stated that 1t was one of the
most enjoyable events which he hal
participated in for and he gave lis
unqualified opinion that Ogden was
the ideal location for gatherings Of
this kind.
