 Dr. Buckner in an eloquent manner paid a beautiful tribute to the mem ory of Mir. Bell, as a citizen, a friend, a son and brother. Socially he was the typical gentleman of the old Southern school. As a business man he stood at the head of his business associates. As an official there was none better nor more conscientious and as son and brother he was all that God had intended of him. Du2- ing Dr. Buckner's address there was scarcely dry eye among the large number of men present It was one of the most beautiful eulogies ever pronounced at funeral in Pine Bluff

Taken Over by Memphis Concern and Will Not Appear in the Ark ansas River Trade Again Will Purchase Another
 for Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark. Jan. 25.-After negotiations of several months, the Little Rock Packet Co.,, has sold to a Memphis concern the steamer Rapids, and it will hardly appear again in the Arkansas river. The Grand, the twin sister of the Rapids, brought here last year from Menominee, Wis, will continue in the Arkansas traffic. and is out of port now with a heavy cargo. The Rapids is reported to have been sold for $S,O0O, which is a neat profit for the Little Rock Asso- citation, which paid something in the neighborhood of $11 ,000 for both the boats. The Little Rock Association will now purchase boat with flat bottom hull which will serve better in the Arkansas river trade as it can run at a stage of water the Rapids could not deal with The association is reported as having accepted terms for boat of this character.

Before the Anti-SaiO0n League at Lit tie Rock and Created
 \ Stir.

Little Rock. Ark, Jan. 25.-,Iudse H. s. Simmons, of Newport, sprung something of sensation at the meet ing of the Arkansas Anti-Salo0n League today, when. in answer to calls for speech. he declared that certain saloon interests in Little Rock were able to name the election commis toners in various counties in the last election and that he came down here and secured their Co. k." on the names of three commissioners whom he and others before present. Ing the names Of the State Election Board in Jackson county at that time wanted
 The call fer Judge Simmons was prompted by the fact that he had lately declined to issue any saloon licenses for the year 1910 in Jackson county.
 I don't deserve any credit for this action however" he declared. ..It was Jesus Christ and God Almiehtv whipping me unto line. and felt more like boy who has been made to do right in the matter of refusjne to issue any more licenses. Ii woe not always my disposition, and unril my conversion few months ago I was as strong in my pledges to the whisky interests as any man could be-
 m connection with his visit to Lift tie Rock two years ago, when. he alleged, he secured the naming of the election commissioners of Jackson county through the influence of the liquor interests, he further declared that the same liquor interests con- trolled the Legislature at that time.
 Judge Simmons very modestly ad mltted he couldn't make much of q ieilSlous speech. You see I am young Ill the cause, and I will have to be pardoned on that account Be- sides, I've got some campaien
 S'tiii l't,iSoii speeches to make this time in my county and Pm saving up for that. al though I don't think there will be any trouble in taking care of myself in a political campaign
 Opened With Rush.
 The convention of the league open ed with rush this morning, and by noon everything even down to the ad dress of the president, Col. George Thornburgh, had disposed of.
 Following the address of welcome by Rev. Ben Cox a sprightly and fc"1efrl response was delivered 5y Rev. C.. E. Draper, of Russellville, who, although taking the place of im- promptu, on account of the failure of Rev, M N. Waldrip to be present, de- monstrated his ability to meet an en- ergency with justice to himself and credit to his cause
 pr. Waldrip was to have responded to the welcome address but at a late moment received notice of the cr;ti- cal illness of his brother, and had to go to his bedside.
 In speaking of the movement now On foot pr. Draper declared that r. was more than local in it's nature; it is Statewide.
 We have outgrown the local idea and went to carry out the larger pro- position" he declared.

The Southern Pacific will continue
its policy of strengthening It's road

THE same road will probably build

north along the west side OF the
Promontory range to cross the old
C. P line at or near Kelton, and
thence north to the Twin Falls coun-
try.
'The d. G. R C. will probably come
through with that freight depot on
Twenty1o,Irth street east of Wall
avenue this year.
The same Is true of the Oregon
Short Line and It's roOd from Ogden
south to Salt Lake
"The Ogden Rapid Transit COM
pany will extend ITS lines to Brigham

way for that purpose. The extension
Of the line In Ogden canyon to Hunts
Vile Is also promised
"The Rapid Transit people might
also extend their road across the Via
duct and along Wilson lane TO sugar

company decides to double the capa-
city of the factory, an Improvement
which has been virtually decided
upon.
THE Salt Lake G Ogden. better

as TO give car service north of Twen-

There is going to be 2 big year
in railroad construction. The San

to hire every unsldlled laborer in the
country when 1t gets started Rail
road contractors and other large en-.
ployers of labor can make up their
minds that the laborer Will be worthy
of his hire this year. otherwise he
won't stay long on the job.
During 1910 no man who is willing
{ TO work eight hours day for high
wages need be out OF job for longer
than twenty.four hours at time
That means that business will be
kept lively by the constant stream
of money from big pay rolls. The
building trades will also prosper. but
that has nothing to do with the rail-
road situation,

az some Of his reasons for thinking
this is going to be great year for
business In ogden.
Business activity Is to a certain
extent contagious and when one line
of business becomes active, It Is an
impulse to others to get In and share
the prosperity 1910 will see more
building OF a substantial nature in Og,
den than any previous year.
''Fsivc or six years ago a dwelling
that cost from three TO 1--WE thousand
dollars was the exception and a lot
for a dwelling that cost five hundred
dollars was going the limit Now q
great many who desire homes think
nothing of paying one thousand to
twenty-five hundred dollars for the
LOT and from five TO twenty thousand
dollars for the home thereon, which
indicates that the people Of Ogden
have more money and better homes
than ever before,
There are at least fifty homes be.
Ing planned and work will begin on
the same as soon as the weather VIII
permit These homes Will be modern
in every respect and up-to-date build
ings and will cost all the way from
twenty-five nHuulSu UP 10 twenty
thousand dollars each. There is more
money in ogden today seeking In
vestment in good real estate than
ever before and as soon as the wealth
er Will permit all the real estate men
will be closing up deals.
"As for myself. I have already let
n number Of contracts for homes to
be built to sell on the installment
plan and work viii commence on
these as soon as the weather will per-
NIT ] expect TO erect at least fifty
homes during the summer as the de-
man Is greater now than ever before.
"Ihere Is not much being said about
the matter but q great many who
have invested in real estate In Og-
den during the last five or ten years
have grown rich and such Investors
are quietly guylng good piece OF real
estate whenever 1t is offered for sale
While the winter has been the most
severe ever known In Utah and an
unusual amount of snow has fallen.
this insures plenty OF water and large
crops for the farmer and horticultur-
lists and much ensuing. business for
the canning factories, sugar factories,
cement plants and other manufacture
ing plants,
These are a few of the reasons
why think 1910 will be a record year
for business In Ogden"
