and the Fair association, visited Chi
cago and argued the appeal from the

turned down there. he visited New
York and appeared before the Harri-
man officials aud Mr. Hartman him
self and when turned down there
Judge Heywood went TO Washington,
laid the case before tac Interstate
Commerce commission, and there
granted permission to file a suit
against the three railroads. When
Judge haywood returned TO Ogden,
Attorney Hyrum II. Henderson was
employed 10 assist Judge eywood in
handling the legal side of the ques-
ton,
Mr.. Glasmann said this morning
that he would never manage another
fair, but he was in this rate question
to stay; that the getting OF rates
from the intermountaln country for
our fair was of more Importance 10
the people of Ogden than any other
question now remaining unsettled He
said that the great majority OF the
people living outside of Ogden, within
radius of five Hundred miles. buy
their supplies once or twice eacn year
and that they take advantage OF the
low rates. and. as in the past. Salt
Lake had been the only city in the
whole intermountain country that
could get the cheap railroad rates,
naturally Salt Lake got nearly all this
trade. for which Ogden had a right to
compete. and to which Ogden Is en-
titled.
Ogden people have just as much
right as Salt Lake 10 a cheap railroad
rate, and the fact that Salt Lake has
had these rates for thirty years and
has built up a large city. is no reason
why this discrimination against Og-
den should go on forever
Mr. Glasmann also said that the
Fair association has run behind In Its
finances. and that it is unable 10
meet tne expenses OF the coming suit.
and that the whole of the expense
must rest upon the Weber club. There
is no reason why the Weber club
should bear the whole expense of the
suit. The business men VINO do not
belong 10 the Weber club should con-
tribute towards such things. either by
becoming members Of the Weber club
and paying their monthly dues, or by
sending a check 10 tho secretary.
DIR. Rowe. wno has given so much
time In the past year TO help make

Commerce commission is TO sit in Og-
den and hear this case. and that the
dispatches every morning Will carry

said that the Interstate commerce law
provides that railroads may give
