WHEN THE BOYS IN BLUE
MARCH,.

When Dix-Logan Post of the G. A.
r. departs from Ogden on the day of
the parade In Salt Lake City. the old
boys will rally GO to 10 strong, and,
with all members in uniform, they
will make an inspiring sight
Headed by a band of twenty-siX
pieces which has been practicing for
the event, they will march 10 the
depot and board a special train Every
Ogdenite at the encampment on thai
day will cheer the old soldiers from
this city as they march by or forfeit
the right to be called an Ogdenite,
Here 1t Is within six years of half
a century since the close of the war
and we find about 20 old soldiers in
ogden.
The young men of the Civil war
must have been toughened to so sue
cessfully resist the wear and tear OF
time There are said TO be 100000 Of
the old boys alive. or about one In
every three Of the men who saw ser
vice.
When the war was over 100000 of
the men who fought TO the end were
reviewed in Washington That was
the greatest encampment of the vet
Grams John V, Nelson. of DiX-Logan
post, was one of the men with Sher-
man who marched down Pennsylvania
avenue In that final parade The day
before the army of the Potomac, NOV
ing sixteen men abreast, marched from
9 O'Clock in the morning until 4 o'clock
in the afternoon before the last man
of that mighty gathering had passed
under review, and then Sherman, with
his army, repeated the military pag-
eantry before a vast audience OF ad-
miring Northern people.
II Is regrettable that moving pic
lures had not been invented at that
time, TO catch the passing army, so
that We might see with the eyes of
the camera and thereby gain some idea
of the proportions In human effort of
the fatricidal struggle of the early
sixties.

SAMUELSoN HAS

Samuelson says he is willing TO

Whittier but claims Whittier can not
get around him To show that his line
OF argument Is perfect Samuelson
proposes a match race, best two in
three heats. SamuelSon says he wants
the pole in one Of these heats and
that he Is willing to give Whittier the
pole in the second heat. Then Sammy
wants the Nthird heat to be nun from
opposite sides of the track, The race
as planned by Samuelson looks Ike

ought to be a thrilling race.

UNION PACIFIC AT NEARLY
$500.

Union Pacific stock was within
reach of 5000 share on Saturday and
United States Steel stock scared to
high figures.
These are two signs of a prosperity
which is to bring happiness to count
le7s thousands in this country,
Union Pacihcs high record is proof
that the western road is capable of
Welding big dividends and is facing
a future brighter than the past The
railroad cannot prosper without a gen
eral condition of prosperity. which is
forecast in the stock market.
Jay Gould looked 10 the iron and
steel trade for an index to business
conditions When the iron industry
gave evidence of increasing prosper
ity. he anticipated a profit-Sharing
period for his railroads. United States
Steel is undoubtedly doing more bust
ness than at any time since the panic
of 1907. and, If Gould's rule still
holds good, the entire country should
begin TO feel a greater Industrial ac-
tiyity.
The governments agricultural re-
ports prove that the farmers are
about TO harvest the most bountiful
crops in the history OF the country.
Al bottom the countys prosperity
rests on the fertility of the soil. and,
with an unprecedented harvest, there
can be nothing less than a nationwide
toning up IN business.
