WOULD KNOW
ALL ABOUT
OGDEN
MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED BY
REAL ESTATE MEN.

Real estate dealers of this city re-
Pert many inquiries from eastern and
middle western states regarding form
and fruit-growing land adjacent and
tributary to Ogden. Many of the let
ters ask for information concerning
climatic conditions, the prices OF aero
property, methods of irrigation, mar
ket conditions, time required for
growing wheat and other cereals from
natural precipitation and without the
aid of moisture from irrigating bitches
and the like. These letetrs Of in
quiry show an awakening interest
from homeseekers who are apparent
ly anxious to locate in the land OF
opportunities In the west and become
identified with the progress and pros
perity enjoyed by the people of this
section of Utah. In conversation With
an Examiner representative yester-
day prominent real estate man OF
Ogden said.
During the many years in which
our firm has been engaged In busl.
ness in this city we have never re-
celyed as many inquiries regarding
farming and fruit-growing lands as
during the past month or six weeks.
and strange to say more of these IN
quirles come from Iowa, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and other western
states than from older districts in
the east. The questions submitted
would require a Philadelphia legal
sharp to answer satisfactorily and
embrace everything from the price OF
land and irrigation methods to edu-
cational facilities and the advantages
offered In the way of churches But
the correspondence indicates tnat the
persons who write for information are
Interested in the subjects discussed,
with the ultimate purpose of locating
here II conditions are satisfactory
and that's ell we want to know. Peo-
pie who are not deeply interested
never take the trouble OF time to make
inquiries Of this character. and all
we ask any homeseeker is to como
out here and investigate what we
have to offer and that will settle the
matter-if he IS really deeirous or
betteriDg his condition by locating in
a favored section of the best state in
the Union.
I'VE have had circular letter pre-
pared especially for correspondents OF
tEis character, and we simply tell
them in this letter that the districts
about Ogden possess the best and
richest soil to be found In the west:
that climatic conditions are simply
Ideal; that school and church adyan.
tases are unexcelled by any state
east OF the Missouri; that anything
and everything Will grow here except
oranges, bananas and Turkish tobac-
CO. that the markets arc the best to
be found anywhere between Chicago
and San Francisco. and that any man
young old or niddle-aged, possessing
a little money, little ambition. q lit
lie horse sense and a good deal OF
energy, can acquire independence and
4 comfortable competency quicker
right here In this section of a grand
young state than anywhere else on
earth.
He Is also advised that any part
OF this section or the country contic-
uous will stand a rigid and thorough
investigation before he Invests ono
dollar in property offered him-anl
IL those terms are not satisfactory
the inquirer had better remain where
ne is and raise raZor-backed hogs and
i've on nominy and bacon grease.
i look for the biggest influx of
homeseeker9 at Ogden during the NEXT
lew months than We have ever had,
ana we invite comparison OF this
section of Utah with California, Ore.

ton of the west"
