it, but the neighbor would receive a
whole loaf. If he asked for half a
million for himself, the other man
would receive million out of the
bounty and at no sacrifice whatever
to the man making the wish"
He was given one minute in which
to make up his mind, and in the last
seconds he squirmed and said, 4 wish
I may be half dead. daughter.
Now that principle holds good in so
much of our work, 1t is we'll u. be on
the right side of it.
II want to introduce a man who,
with his partner, did much to con-
tribute to the success of watering this
great tract. 1t takes courage and en-
ergy to pull big enterprises through
the ups and downs that come with
them, and the gentlemen I shall call
upon is being taken by surprise but
he belongs on this program, and I
will ask Mr.. G. R. Boutwell, to speak"
Mr. Boutwell,: at is true | have
been doing some things in connection
with the watering of this tract, but
like all other business men I did it
for the hope of gain as we'll as for
the love of the thing, and | have only
gone along and worked out the prob
lens as they presented themselves,
and am glad to be here today, wit
Messing the things I see. I appreci-
ate this honor, and thank you all"
The Chairman: I" want now to
call upon the partner I spoke of, and
what | have said of one applies to the
other. 1t takes live fish to swim
up stream, and one of that type of
man is found in r. E. McConahy who
Is seated down there about the corner
| think. Will he come forward"
Somebody reported that he was
just around the corner and was en-
gagged in selling man tract of
Carey land, and begged to be excused.
The Chairman: II will next intro
duce Mr. John Pingree, the cashier
of the First National bank of Ogden,
a man who is heavily interested in
this enterprise and whom l want you
to know"
Mr.. Pingree responded with few
complimentary remarks and was ap-
plauded.
The Chairman. Along time ago a
man came through this country sell
ing fruit trees, and 1t would not be
right to close this program without
hearing from him. His work intro
ducing fruits into this country re-
minds me of something that is said
to have happened in the early days
of the Ohio Valley. A man who was
bent on benefiting humanity is said
to have taken his rifle and ammuni-
ton and sack of apple seeds, and
journeyed down through the Ohio
valley, planting seeds in the pretty
little glades along the way, and set
tiers coming into the country in later
years found little orchards that had
grown up in these great woodlands
in consequence of his unselfish
work"
"Of course man could not start
fruits in this country in that way,
but the man of whom I speak travel
ed through these valleys, into Lost
river and to Salmon river and Pah-
semari on horseback quarter of a
century ago, and took orders for fruit
trees wherever men had faith in their
growing, and many Of the old ORCH
ards that pioneered the fruit idea in
this country, are the result of his
trips. He is connected with the Davis
county Nursery In Utah. / refer to
Mr.. Harness and will ask him to re-
spond."
After a brief response by him 1t
was announced that the registration
would have to be taken up and COM
pleted and the program was brought
to a close with few instructions
about the drawing by Mr.. Jos. R. Jep-
son of American Fork, Utah.
