Show $ Ben Lomond Beacon, June 29, 1978, Page 4 Hermite Blood donors needed their brochures and other publicity. The Ogden Hotel and resort was in- eluded in the tours from Grand Canyon to Yellowstone National Park. Many guests arrived in carriages driven direct from the Union Station in Ogden. Stables were maintained at the complex. In 1910, the railroad tracks were laid to the Hermitage and on up to Huntsville. The electric railroad ran along the north side of the Ogden River. Mrs. Lyle Shaw, 425 Ogden Canyon, recalls how the street car tracks ran right behind her house and crossed the river there to stop at the resort complex. This information was verified by Mr. Lynn Paul, of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, who was a motorman and a conductor for the Ogden Rapid Transit Huntsville passenger and freight line back in the 1915-1- 6 period. Mr. Paul writes that, at that time, the cars made three trips a day, and late afternoon. morning, mid-daThey were equipped with air brakes and were colored dark blue-greeLater cars ran every 15 minutes, the round-tri- p fare being 25 cents and taking 90 minutes. Special Ogden City cars ran up canyon as far as the Hermitage for summer events: they were yellow in color. There were a few special sidings, in addition to the one at Wildwood above the avalance area. Mr. Russ Farr and others recall cars with making the trip in open-ai- r green and white striped awnings. The abutments for the railroad bridge t;n still be seen and are now supporting a large water line. During the artists research, many amusing, sometimes sad, anecdotes have surfaced - like the day (Sept. 26, 1909) shen: President William Howard Taft came to Ogden and was hosted by a colorful hotel and tavern owner, Denny Smyth, who drove the President, and a secreat service man named Sloan, to the Hermitage in his in Utah OGDEN coordinated A program to meet the blood needs of patients in Utah hospitals has been developed by Intermountain Health Care and the Intermountain Red Cross Blood Service. G. Kent Ballantyne, assistant administrator of Hospital Center d and a member of a McKay-De- e newly-establishe- coordinating committee for the service, said it will be called Consolidated Blood Services of Utah. CBS will make it easier to and will give blood, eliminate waste, competition and duplication of efforts, Ballantyne said But, more important, it will meet the needs of MRS. REED CHAMBERS promptly and will encourage voluntary donations. Utah is now 50 per cent below the national average in voluntary blood giving, he said. The new recruitment and distribution program will make it possible for a donor to give blood at any IHC hospital or bloodmobile or at any ARC bloodmobile or at the Intermountain Red Cross Blood Serv ices Center in Salt Lake City, and the blood can be used by a patient in any IHC hospital or any hospital that receives its blood from ARC. Thus, it will be possible for to give blood at for a patient in McKay-DeHoly Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City under the new program. A donor statewide a donor e recruitment program is CBS, by Ballantyne said, which should establish an adequate blood supply for the region. Last year, Utah residents required some 60,000 pints of blood. As the population of ci'izens needing surgery increases, it is older anticipated the demands be even greater. will Vows recited HOOPER were the former Miss Shirley Cottle and Retd Chambers The bride is a daughter of Mrs William A Cottle, who resides at 5871 W. 5300 S., and the late Mr. Cottle.

Fifteen years of schooling for the mildly retarded costs $52,500.00.

Old-Time- the Spanish influenza epidemic morning of October 20, 1918, the decline of the hotel began, and with him died the true spirit of the Hermitage. The hotel closed during the winter seasons and when business began to decline, the Hermitage was closed, only to be opened on special occasions. The last purchase price for the $30,800 hotel was reported to be only $4,800. The new owners attempted to renovate the old resort and revive trade, but they were only partially successful. In the early morning hours on January 4, 1939, a woman driving by was astonished to see flames shooting from the roof. As the call to the fire department on 12th Street in Ogden was being made, an explosion racked the Hermitage followed by a raging fire which swept along its oaken floors. Several people relate having watched as the fire devoured the giant log building, leaving only the charred remains. All that remains today, 39 years later, is the massive rock wall with its parapets, the little seen mortorless curvilinear wall that holds up the road and the cobblestone pillars, which at one time bore twin lamps, and now stand in silent vigilence on either side of weathered concrete steps overgrown with scrub maple and cottonwood. Also, barely visible is the retaining wall inlaid with abalone shells, now toppling from abandonment, and the path that led to the smoking area and to the foot bridge below. low-circli- Today people recalling a vacation or a honeymoon during the golden years of the Hermitage have reportedly contacted the current Hermitage Inn for reservations and accomodations only to be told to their dismay, that the era of the Hermitage Hotel long ago came to a blazing end. merry-go-roun- pensive.

The park also had another grand attraction for the kids. It had the highest rope swings of any park in the state, and boasted about them. Due to the height of the giant trees at the Hermitage, the swingers could work up the swings to a height of 6 feet. Modern day swings cant compare with those in the old Hermitage r.

According to a letter from Mr. Smyth's daughter, the family had a pet macaw (parrot) who always rode on the front of her fathers car, thus creating quite a sight for the children of Sacred Heart Academy who had been excused from school to greet the President of the United States as he went by. Denny Smyth, who was as Irish as they come, had a perch attached to the raditor cap of his Packard, and taught the parrot to ride on it, the recalls. The parrot went wherever the car went and they were Roger Creager, Bennett, brown-maroo- 1 quite a common sight in Ogden. Denny owned and operated the National Saloon and Hotel, just above Lincoln on 25th Street. He was reputed to be a millionaire and made his money with his saloon when the Lucin Cut-of- f was built across Great Salt Lake. The workers patronized his saloon. Another very close call near the Hermitage on the electric canyon car line was reported by Vic Murphey, an y motorman, on his way to a family outing at the Hermitage. Mr. Murphy noticed that the canyon car should have switched to a siding to wait for the car to pass. Anticipating a possible collision, he quickly made his way to the outside aisle of the car, and just before the impact of the cars coming at each other in opposite directions, he grabbed a young boy and jumped with him to clear themselves of the tragic train collision. Newspapers of the day told of deaths and injuries. Of happier days, Mrs. Moore of d Ogden Canyon recalls a genial woman who operated a concession stand at the small dam and rented bathing suits for 5 cents per day, and the row boats for 15 cents per day. Bath houses were eventually built on the south side of the river. Row boats often dotted the pond called Still Water. The pond was created by a small dam on the Ogden River. Still Water was originally a storage pond for the logs which were to be processed by the Wilson saw mill below. The water level was controlled by adjustable gates located at the river bridge. The fondest memories seemed to listen again and hear in their imagination, the music from the carrousel and the night music from the open-ai- r dance pavillion in the northwest area of the park. It was a simple but attractive place and it had a dance floor that measured about 100x50 feet. Sides of the pavillion were built of half logs that reached about five feet in height. From there to the roof, wire netting kept out the high flying birds and bats but still left room for the cool canyon breezes to penetrate the dancing area. The Hermitage also had a fine picnic ground on the north side of the grove along the banks of the Ogden River. Here tall cottonwood and poplar trees provided welcome shade on hot summer days.
