The growth of one of Ogden's largest industries was largely due to the years of unremitting labor put forth by this man who had an vision of the thing he was striving for. To make Ogden the western livestock center was his aim and how well he succeeded can best be seen when one looks over the vast yards and barns of the Ogden Union stockyards, which have made such growth the past few phenominal years. No sooner had he seen the completion of the new sheep barn at the yards than he launched the building of a new office building at the yards, lie was not happy if he could not see some progress each day. And he was not content to let the other fellow do all the work. Ogden and Utah need more Les Utahns bow their heads Whitlocks. in respect to the memory of this excellent citizen. fv ever-prese- nt - y. It . ii ' V. That Dam Name it i ; Last week when Secretary of the Interior Wilbur drove the silver spike which marked active work on the Boulder Dam project, he took occasion to suggest that the great barrier which la to be erected in the Colorado river, be named "Hoover Dam," in honor of President Hoover. It ap name proposed would Gared that the without protest. It has almost become precodent to name the great reclamation dams and reservoirs, for the presidents under whose administration the projects ' were launched and built. This was the ease with the Roosevelt and Cooledge dams and reservoirs. But. now comes an objection from California where the Sacramento Bee Insists that the dam be named for Senator Johnson, of California, joint author of the Boulder Dam Bill with Congressman Swing, also of California. The Bee holds that Senator Johnson is clearly entitled to the honor, as ha and not President Hoover is responsible for the dam. However this may be, there are many reasons why the name of Johnson would hardly be appropriate for this great project it is not suffict ently distinctive or outstanding. There are too many Johnsons in California. In Los Angeles there are already some thousands Johnsons, and when the dam is completed, there will be added any more thousand, any of which may claim the honor of the dam being named for them. Of course, the bronze tablet might bear the inscription This dam was named after Hyrum Johnson, senator from California. Such a tablet would make it plain that the dam had not been named for Jack Johnson, the pugilist. , H - . 51 t: ; ; i- - .. 4 - ; ma-var- ds 3-- valley is rimmed, more or less, with timber, as is Morgan and Heber val leys, all within easy auto truck dis tanre of the Salt Lake valley. There should be settings for small saw mills at places convenient and accessabe in this region. A conference with Chief Forester Rutledge at Ogden could be arranged and the matter of cheap lumber gone into. It is safe to say that the northwest gets at least ninety per cent of all the wholesale cost of lumber used in this region. Buying abroad and selling abroad is a load too heavy for this, or any other county, to prosper under. : -- to-w- cidental thereto, according and specification! on file .i1 jfe. P the ?ity Engineer.

Political Dynamite The railroad shops in Ogden are new Independent working full time and since the first has been launched of the month the Union Pacific shops .The threatened wet political party in Salt Lake county. The party is launched as a protest to both the Republican and Democratic parties, both of which have refused to take a stand on prohibition. There are those who refuse to handle dynamite, and there are those who delight in handling it. Prohibition is political dynamite just as dangerous in politics as the explosive is in mining. Somebody will be blown up in the squabble. Whether it will be the Independents or the old parties remains to be seen. To one outside looking in, there seems to be but small need for a wet party in Salt Lake county. Both old parties in the big county should be . 1; SlSKT The Davis county flood district offers a solution of the labor problem at the state penitentiary. It is evident that the only method by which the Farmington and Centerville districts may be protected is through flood control by a series of dams and concrete lined canals. The canal system of flood control was demonstrated in the Davis and Weber Counties canal, just outside of Weber canyon. During the flood of this summer, this canal was filled with rock and silt for a distance of a mile and a half, proving itself a first-clas- s carrier of flood debris. There would be work in this flood district for 100 prisoners for a couple of years. The men could be quartered in camps or could be conveyed to and from the prison in trucks, as are school children in county districts. If the law will not permit for work ing prisoners, it will he an easy matter to amend the law at the meeting of the legislature this winter. Here is an opportunity to solve this prison proposition which Is slated to cost the people of Utah a million dollars or more.
