Show THE FOURTH OI' JULY CEI.EBKATIOX. Somo of tho people of Ogden ore giving giv-ing themselves unnecessary worry aud anxiety regarding tho Fourth of July celebration that is being arranged by the citizens of Salt Lake. They seem to think that wo have no right to celebrate, cele-brate, because the demonstration might interfere with tho tail-cud of their carnival. car-nival. Nevertheless, Salt Lake will have a celebration, and it will bo an affair worthy of this inter-mouutaiu metropolis of 55,000 people. The celebration cele-bration will be simply such a ono as wo. have had each year for a long period. It will not interfere with tho carnival iu any way. Hundreds of the familiar faces of Salt Lako ' will be seen in Ogden, and the chambotf of commcrco will probably run a special train for those of its members who intend to take in tho Junctiou city festival. The Salt Lake committee on invitation invita-tion and reception will very likely tender a cordial invitation to the mayor and council of Ogdeu and other neighboring cities aud towns to join us in celebrating Independence day. Under all these circumstances tho recent circular issued by the mayor of Ogden and tho president of her chamber cham-ber of commerce and other citizens, was entirely uncalled for. It shows a lamentable lack of good business sense mid a spirit of petty meauuess and jealousy. Somo evil-minded and malicious mali-cious person, who no doubt possesses some persuasive power, has led them into making a serious mistake. We reproduce re-produce the " dodger," with its glaring headlines. It speaks for itself: TO OCiDEN CITIZENS. CAN TIIKY DO IT! CAN SALT LAKE OUTDO US ON THE FOURTH?. EVERY MAN TO HIS POST. SHAM.

The Reputation of Ogden Is In tho Balance With the Men of Ogdeu Rests the Responsibility Re-sponsibility of Making Mak-ing tho Carnival a Brilliant Success. To the People of Ogden: We herewith produce pro-duce a copy of a leading article. In today's Salt Lake Herald. Tho success of the coming carnival car-nival in volveB the reputation of Ogden. Salt Luke, with Its larger population, with its numerous nu-merous bands and other organizations, will attempt to overshadow us In tho coming festivities. fes-tivities. If It should succeed iu doing this it will be humiliating to the people of Ogden. Tho committee in charge of our carnival are doing a.11 in their power to make it a brilliant success, but thoy are laboring against iliffl-culties. iliffl-culties. and stand greatly in need of money and assistance. There ls a moettng of the Rex organization tomorrow. Friday, night at the district court room. Offers of assistance, both personal and Hnaueial, aro Invited. The selfishness and envy of our neighboring'' city Invites us to competition let It be slmit sharp, and decisive, and settle forever the supremacy su-premacy of Ogden enterprise. B. M. Shout, A. II. Nelson, F. J. Keiski,, John A. Boyle, C. 'R. Hank, And others. Then follows tho Herald's local article arti-cle nljout Ingersoll and the meeting held to devise means for celebrating the Fourth. Ogden is not even mentioned. men-tioned. Where thore is so much room for improvements im-provements as there is iu Ogden and &ilt Lake, and where there are so many advantages and opportunities for various va-rious business enterprises, there should be no room for envy or jealousy. There is plenty of room for both cities to thrive and prosper. Salt Lako has no jealousy of Ogdeu. The only jealousy that we know of exisls in the feverish imagination of Ogdon boomers. Salt Lako has no occasion to be jealous of Ogden. That city is uo rival of Salt Lake and never will be. Not withstanding withstand-ing all tho abuse that has been cast upon Salt Lake by the unbalanced minds of Og-den, this city will not only manifest a friend ly aud sympathizing spirit towards the Junction town by participating in I he carnival, but wiil lie ready at all times to tender her assistance as-sistance whenever she needs it. and that uo doubt will be ijuite frequcutly. |
