UPERINTENDENT WHITNEY A
ROYAL ENTERTAINER
Junkct to Park City Will Be Long Re
membered by Guests - Mayor
and Council Extend Courtesies

In the junket TO Park City yesterday
| Superintendent w A Whitney and
other officials OF the Hartman rail-
road interests crept into the hearts of
goodly number of Ogden people. The
| good humor of the guests of the rail
road people was so pronounced upon
their return to the city last evening
that it goes without saying they were
right royalty treated during the day
and they were so loud In their praises
of the hosts that IL was self evident
they fully appreciated the courtesy eX-
tended and the kindly treatment ac-
| corded.
Nothing was left undone TO make
the trip a pleasant one long 10 he re-
membered by those who were FORUM
ate enough to participate in it. The
company was carried TO the great sill
yer camp of the state in a special
train that commanded the right of way
between the Junction city of the west
and the big mining city OF the noun
tains only a few miles away.
| 1t is we'll that Park city and Ogden
| should know each other better and
| that 1t should be understood that the
| steel bands connecting them should
be the bands of fraternity and com"
| mercial interests 1t is regretted that
| Ogden and Park CITY have too long
been comparative strangers and 1t is
likewise appreciated that the glad
hand Of friendship and closer relation
| ship has now been extended.
Mr.. Whitney entertained his Ogden
friends on this trip yesterday, purely
and simply for the kindly feeling he
has for the ogden people and the SIN
cere interest he has in the better in
terests Of Ogden. The parties parti-

In a fit Of poetical inspiration, Ern-
est Spencer. a member of the news
paper fraternity expressed his appreci-
alton OF Superintendent Whitney In
the following lines:
Out in Utah.
There's a chap named Bill
Out in Utah.
Who railroads with a will,
Out in Utah.
He knows the grades and bends.
II necessary dispatches he sends.
And to the u. p. assistance he lends,
Out in Utah.
AS a railroader or host. he's the man
Out in Utah.
An able lieutenant to Hartman.
Out in Utah.
He never swears. blows or roasts,
Or of his great feats boasts,
Does Bill Whtney-"Mine Host"
Out in Utah.
Whitney gave party to the Park
Out in Utah.
For the guests t'w quite lark.
Out in Utah.
We were wined, feted and supped.
Some got "a little tanked up"
While others ne'er touched a droD.
