Ogden in proud of the magnificent hostelry the monument to the memory of those sterling pioneers in Ogden's hotel and bunking life, the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Bigelow. It is a fine spirit of love that their children, Archie P. Bigelow and Mrs. Florence Jessie Bigelow Van Meteer and associates have shown in the building of such a splendid monument to their memory. Since the opening of the Bigelow, three months ago, we have heard from the traveling public, comparing it most favorably with the hotela in larger ritica. Expressions such as the Ambassador of the Rocky Mountains, the Biltmore of Utah and such other names have been heard in speaking of Ogden's beautiful structure. The Bigelow, not only means Ogden will have improved facilities for the raring of its visitors and the traveling public, but the Bigelow and atands as the keystone for the building of a Greater Ogden. Archie Bigelow and associate have shown their faith in the future of Ogden by the building of this magnificent hotel.

When the late Gordon Grant, day .derk and assistant to Mr. II. C. Bigelow, met his tragic death in front of the hotel by being trampled beneath the feet of a runaway horse, Beckett was placed in charge for a few days until a manager could be secured. Harry proved himself equal to the task and so well did he handle the situation that the late II. C. Bigelow made Harry the manager of the hotel and erased his managcriral duties and title. Beckett was active in the details of the financing and the preparation of plans of the Bigelow. Durwatching its construction he closely ed the details of the work of the builders. In his rise to his present position, Beckett has worked diligently at H times. He was always ready for the t ask that was assigned him. In his dealings with the traveling public, he always Assumed the attitude of the great hotel men of the country that the guest is always right.

LESSON FOR TIIE AMERICAN YOUTH IN LINDBERGH James E. West, Chief Boy Scout Executive for the past seventeen years, in a recent article spoke of the splendid lesson that Captain Charles A. Lindbergh. 25 years of age, flier, set for the American youth. He said the extraordinary fine character, the sublime courage, and dazzling capabilities of Lindy," have gripped the world. The Scout executive adds that Lindbergh's success is the result of pure grit. That he was able to make the historical flight solely through a boyhood of If he had not lived a good clean life he would not have had the fine young body, the stamina, the nerve to make that long, gruelling flight.

If Charlie had listened to them telling him he hadnt a chance to make it across, he would never be where he is now.
