Show - A HOOM FOR IHiDKN. Am Kastern Firm Organized and Will lies;11! HindneiM Ht Once M. I). .Sharkey of Des Moines w as in the city this morning in the interest of a syndicate recently organized in the cast, which has located iu Ogdeu. "lam here," ho remarked to a Timks man, "to consult with the livery men of Salt Lake regarding the sale of hay during this coming season. My linn expects to put up at least 1011,000 bales.' this summer. Tho city council of Ogdeu Og-deu has virtually agreed to let ns have the contract for mowing all the hay that grow s on the streets and we expect ex-pect to make a fine thkgout of it. Why, wo expect to cut at least enough to make 50,000 bales on Washington avenue and Twenty-fifth street, Wq had to do some sharp work to get the contract, too, I tell you. You see just as quick as eastern men knew that Ogdcn had hay to cut they made a great rush. We had to do some mighty line engineering to get our work in. But I think we're all right now. We can supply Salt Lake w ith all the hay it requires. Hay grows well in Ogdeu as there is nothing to damage the crop. The streets on which tho grass grows best will bo vacated in order that it may not be damaged by small-boys who might trample it down. We have just closed a contract with an eastern linn for thirty mowing machines and two ono hundred horse power hay presses. I expect to have a carload of hay here by June 1st, for since the city up there has got water the grass is growing finely." |
