Tho array of flags flaunting H from flag-staffs and windows, tho j closing of the business houses and H the occasional pop of the small flre- 1 cracker informs the most wayfaring H that the glorious Fourth of July is H Tho mandate of the Mayor and tho H city council that no flroanns or flrc- H. works bo discharged within tho flro Hl limits of tho city Is beolng geuorallv M observed altliough many smaller j crackers were exploded on Washlng- 1 ton avonnc by tho Irrepressible youtli M who is over willing to bravo "cops", M burns and tetanus to glvo full vent 1 to tho spirit of '7G as ho feols IL Of- M l leers, however, have kept a caroful B oyo on tho minor violations of tho Bh nfo safe and sane ordinanco and all of tho giant crackers and the really dangerous class of fireworks havo HBH been tabooed. The closing of tho stores, tlie courts, tho work shops and other places of business has given everyone an op- H portunity to celcbrato tho natal dav H In the mannor most enticing. B. 'While Ogden is not sweltering In B tho heat that is now pervading Hs throughout tlie east and central re- gions of tho country, the day was still j hot enough to drive" many to the parks j and other cool resorts outsldo tho H radius of paved streets. H By far tho largest crowd spent tho 1 flay at Lngoon. Every train leaving H the Bamberger station throughout the H day carried hundreds of persons to H this resort, whero the principal at- H traction Is the concert of Don Phllip- 1 plni's band. Incidentally it might be H mentioned that Lagoon Is the only H "wet" rosort In the state and It Is M possible that this fact may havo to Hl do with the slzo of tho crowds flock- H lng there. There are always some H cclobratees who are not adverse to H suffering a headacho on the "morning H after" provided the night boforo has H been a joyous one. It Is Ukoly that B the races at lagoon will be well pat- m ronized. At 9 and 10-30 and again at fl noon a train of six cars was crowded H with people going to Lagoon. It is es- H timated that there are 3,000 persons at H Lagoon fiom Ogden. B The. travel on all of the lines enter- B lng and leaving Ogden has been excep- H tlonally heavy, a greatmany persons H . having left Ogden today for Yellow- H stone park and for points north on the H Oregon Short Line H The band concert of the Ogden City K band at Glecwood park has attracted H many persons to the park, some hav- H lng taken their dinners with them to H be eaten In the ccol shade of the park H trees. There Is dancing in the pa- H vilion and those who spent tho dav V at Glenwood have spent It safely and Hk ' sanely. Bicycle races are on atGlen- H wood this evening.
