headed by the band. The members
OF the excursion party walked. in
other places they were furnished with
automobiles and carriages when the
hosts had them. Not that We care a
darn about the ride, but IL was the
\ spirit of the thing
Perhaps the leaders of the parade

many OF them, knew these men in a

papers got up and shook hands In a

at any rate.
THE men in the club, with but few
exceptions. were too busy TO be more
than coldly courteous. Well, we had
some speeches. Mayor BIZ Glasmann
really rose TO the OCCASION He sur
priscd us and he galvanized the Ogden
men who were present by declaring
that Salt Lake City had outstripped
Ogden so far and so quickly in every
way that Ogden could no longer be
considered rival OF the capital
Mayor Glasmann praised the spirit
of tho enterprise shown by the Com
mercial club, and declared that the
all-Utahn excursion was a brilliant
idea. and that every business man in
the state should consider himself
benefited by tho closer relationship
between the various towns and cities
that would result from the excursion
At the conclusion of Mayor Glas-
mann's talk. another member of the
Weber club talked Of the railroad sit
uation He said that Salt Lake was
using every effort possible to circle
Ogden with railroads. but to let none
OF them touch Ogden. He said that
the latest proposition was to take one
railroad away from Ogden and give it
to Pennington.
THE proposition was fully and
clearly described by Secretary Joseph
f Calnc of the Commercial club In his
address at Logan. Mr.. Caine said that
in every town In the state the inhab-
itants had capitulated except In Og-
den. In Ogden they had fled-evacu-
ated the city upon sight OF the first
banner of the excursionists.
I'VE had good time in Ogden
among ourselves We had rousing
speeches on cooperation of all the
cities of the state for one great pur-
pose. the upbuilding of the state. by
our own speakers We had q delight

the manner OF the business men would
have been a delight for any one seek
Ing a cold climate as a relief from ex-
cesslve summer heat. 1t was frost
1T was the usual thing. and no one
was much surprised
Salt Lake City delegates arrived In
Ogden all right, but they did not
march to the Weber club. A large
portion remained in saloons, about
half were drunk before the night was
their time to an asinine effort to show
those with whom they came in contact
that they had no right to be living In
Ogden.
For instance. the representative of |
a Salt Lake newspaper, who was with
the party, imbibed freely In the cup
that cheers. and after long delay ar.
rived at a local telegraph Office. where
his conversation ran something like
this:
What in - is the matter with
this rube town? Come down to Salt
lake you gang of ignorant - -
and learn something Why didn't
you send down to MY car and get MY
story for MY paper? or course. no
one could expect decent treatment
rom a town like Ogden. Upon nv
return to Salt Lake. shall have YOU
all discharged"
And then the Salt Lake business
men" wonder why Ogden failed TO
'ollow the example of It's mayor and
lex the boots OF the visitors. Too
Iad. indeed. that Ogden, knowing that
every member OF the delegation de.
7oted his time, while at home. TO

Ogden and her interests, should fail
