OGDEN REAL ESTATE THIS U a good time to plant money In Ogden real Prices are exceptionally low just now. The latnlc of last fall and the depression that followed it Placed good property in thla and other cities 4n the market that could not have been secured otherwise. Thla makes real estate here In Ogden at this time a perfectly safe Investment because the prices are now low and will advance yielding good returns on the investment There is another good reason why Investment in Ogden real estate at this time will prove to be a wise Investment Ogden is certain to grow more rapidly the in future than It has grown at any time In the past This growth is certain to create a strong demand for real estate, especially what is known as inside property, and this demand will mean good returns to the Investor Ogden will grow because there la no way in sight to atop that growth. A railway center, situated on interna' tional highways, with extensive shops here; with e cellent shipping facilities; with the beat of Jobbing fa cllltles; with manufacturing advantages that speak for themselves; with as good an agricultural and fruit country surrounding the dty as tha country affords; with the best of waiter, pure air and all he beauties of nature; with tha foundation laid for a great dty; with good schools; fine homes; numerous churches; wide, dean, well-pavstreets; beautiful parks, canyons and drives what Ik there lacking to attract capital and good dtlsena? A man may Invest his money In some scheme and make money faster than he could make it in real estate. But at the aama time he might lose it Just real estate he will have as quickly. In good, an Investment that will keep him awake at nlghL an Investment that will yield an Income that will satisfy any reasonable man. Finally real eatate Is a safe Investment when even banks ara going to the wall. In any event every man should own his own home when possible, and in the Improvement of it.

Go i 1 .or Charles W. Hughes lias made a iihl this a direct Issue and ntiu-- of his future Rina depends upon the measure of success that comes to him In his fight Gambling Is a felony In New York under the laws, that Is gambling In general; but since IMS gambling at race tracks, especially, has been protected under special statute The light of Governof Hughes and his backers has been to remove thla legal protection from this particular form of gambling and subject it to the same laws that govern all other forms of gambling. It is recognised that thla program. If carrd through, would practically put an end to horse racing in the state, and for that reason the oppostion has been powerful and untiring. A climax In the fight In the legislature was reached yesterday when a final vote Was Uken in the senate. The fight had raged for months in the legislature and every trick, every expedient every influence known or controlled by either side had been used. TTie final vote In the stale senate on tl bills Intended to suppress the gambling taken yesterday afternoon resulted la tl 25 for passage and 25 against The result was a sore disappointment to Governor Hughes and he so expressed himself. At this distance no good reason can b, discerned why race track gambling In New York should be con' sldered better than any other form of gamming. JOURNAL. THURSDAY, APRIL S, 1908. ARID LANDLAW Stair 3mintaljTHE OGDEN, UTAH PUBLISHERS COMPANY PUBLISHING JOURNAL (Incorporated.) Published Every Evening Except Sunday. By By By By By UTAH STATE DAILY four. page TAH is nmr, dt ply lr. treated In the arid land meas-- U ures now before Congress than any other state. This la naturally so because of the vast stretches of rich land in this state that lack sufficient water to make thrill fully productive. It Is natural also fur this reason that the representatives In Congress from this state should take a lively interest in the proposed arid land legis- latlon. The situation is well summed up by the Denver j Republican when it says: i dltfino should havs of members congress Eastern needed information vote In all to the j obtaining culty with intelligence on the bill to authorise homestead enj tries of 520 acres In the arid region. The mere fact that the pending measure was drawn up after a conference of Western representatives and senators should satisfy any Eastern member of its merits; but if this it not convincing, an Inquiry Into climatic conditions should show that the bill ought to become a law. The object of any law permitting the location of homesteads Is to promote the settlement of the country, and when sufficient attraction la not held out to Induce men to take up homesteads in the parts of the arid region, tlio offer of the government should be Increased. Owing 'to lack of rain It la difficult for a farmer In most parte of the arid region to produce aenough to support himself and family on 160 acres where Irrigation Is Impractlable. He cannot depend upon growing the ordinary crops of wheat, oats and com, or the yield per acre la too small. He must combine stock growing with the production of fodder; and thla makes, It necessary to have sufficient range for hie animal A tract of 120 acres Is by no means too much where pasturage Is poor and tlie yield per acre of forage light. The situation la revealed by. the fact that under the reclamation act the secretary of agriculture is authorised to reduce the area that may be located as a homestead on land reclaimed by irrigation. This provision Is made because Irrigation makes the land 'very much more valuable . Conversely, where irrigation In the arid region la Impracticable, the government should Increase the art's of a homestead to offset the adverse climatic condition Thu while dose settlement is promoted on land reclaimed, the relatively a parse settlement of tracts would still be practicable The alternative is sparse settlement by homesteaders or the consignment of a large percentage of the arid lands to ojirn range. Certainly, it would be better to provide for two families of farmers on a square mile of arid land than to restrict the use of the country to range stock. . , A TIMELY SHIRT SALE AT A WELCOME HOUR Friday and Saturday, April 10th and 11th, we offer 75 doz. shlrts-a- ll standard makes of the $1.25, $2.00 quality at a price that will simply AMAZE. $1.50, $1.75 and non-lrriga- non-lrriga- Men who need shirts for present or future wear will find this the grandest assortment of shirts ever thrown open for the public choosing.

KUJIHINS 6 TIMES GROW BETTER conditions are throughout the BITSINE88 There can be no improving longer doubt on thla point It la shown in tha commercial reporta that com from the centers of business and Industry. It is shown in the resumption of banka that dosed their doors as a remit of the panic of last fall. It la shown in resumption of work on the railroads and in tha factories. It la felt in 'the return of confidence among businessmen and capitalist It la seen in greater activity in all lines of business' and industry. la true that there is a retrenchment In some It line notably th cotton mills of New England; It la true that many men are atlll out of work for the reason that work in certain lines la not in that fnll swing that prevailed before the panic of last year: It is true that there is the uncertainty that always prevails In a presidential year. But after considering all these factors the main fact must be recognised, that the country la recovering granuly from ita scare, and that In prospects for the future ara entirely bright Ogden, happily, la In perfect harmony with th movement to brush aside the last cloud and clear the ground for another era of great prosperity. Railroad wort.
