I am sure that every member of the order here and every good citizen of is glad that you have come within our gates. 1 hope that I shall not unduly praise the message ot welcome I bear to you. and looking rather to the reception which shall be accorded you by the good people of Ogden, I trust you will find sullicient ot generousliofspi-talit- y and kindly treatment, to convince you that this welcome is indeed genuine. We realize that in coming here, you have left your homes and business, and that you have traveled over mountains and across plains many of you for hundreds of miles, at a sacrifice to your business affairs and personal comfort, and that you came here for work, not tor play for business and not for pleasure. But as a slight diversion from duty now and then, is relished by the most of men, we hope you will prove no exception to the rule during your s'.ay in our city. We desire to trespass upon your time sufficiently to extend to you certain courtisies, and to show you many things in our beautiful city, so that in after years, when in some hour of reverie, you send your messenger back to bring up pleasant memories, there will be borne to you pleasing recollections ot your visit here and of Ogden and her people. We need not be void that you have been selected from out the 2.500 members in this jurisdiction as their 'representatives in Grand Lodge, because of your splondiJ intelligence and good is to legjudgment. Your mission here islate for the future welfare ot our order. To anticipate the needs of so great an organization as the Ancient Order of United Workmen, is indeed important, and calls for the highest degree of intelligence. The future, big as it may be with hope always comes not only laden with the possibilityof defeat, but chilled with the frosty touch of fear; its demands are harsh and peremptory; its voice is e tern and menacing; its problems are yet unsolved. Its current rushes ofhard the upon us, strikes the sharp lines present and past, ard flows away as though its surface had never been troubled with a single care. The future ia our master; the past our servant, but today the servant shall do his duty though the maBter has even now issued his commands for the morOg-de- n, row. the right BITS OF GUSSIP.

Again," on behalf of those whose message I bear, I greet you, not as strangers to us or to each other, but as the representatives of that great beneficial and fraternal organization whose objects and purposes are to relieve and better the condition of the human race. An organisation which had its birth only 23 years ago, and yet its membership is over a quarter of a million today. An organisation which has paid to widows and orphans since first instituted $35,000,000 in cash. An organization which paid out milf during last year five and lions to the similar parties. An organiof its zation in which the hand-shak- e members spans this great continent from Canada to the Gulf and from ocean to ocean, and whose fraternal greetings are its passports to the protection it affords.

The few settlers out here are struggling for an existence, only maintained by the hope that their energetic appeals to congress for a full recognition of their rights as American ill at least be crowned with citizens ucewts. The population of this portion of Alaika the projecting southward consists of miners, salmon-canner- y men and a few business men, and the two tina named classes can only be consilered as a floating population. Banks there are none, and nobody can pledge any real estate. Liquor is forbidden to be introduced into the country, and comes in for the larger part by smuggling a precarious business, whilst the collector of customs only iermit small quantities to be imported for "medical, scientific and mechanical" purposes. Wages are very low, because the white labouring mau is compelled to compete with the native, who in contradistinction of the savage of the plains is rather thrifty for a time, to earn sufficient money for his wan t9 and business.

Dunn & Co's. Weekly Review of Trade, dated August 15th, says of the crop outlook: The prohibition of exports of rye by Russia, because of official declaration that famine is impending, has suddenly affected the grain markets of the whole world. Russia usually exports about bushels of rye, and men reason that other grain in large quantities will Not enough attention is be required. paid to the fact that European consumption may be greatly reduced by high prices, and speculation goes on the theory that every person must have so many buBhels or there will be starvation. Betora the year is over this notion will probably be corrected Wheat rose 8 cents on moderate sales, and a heavy operator at Chicago went down. Corn rose 6' and oats 2J cents with Small sales. Crop prospects grow brighter every day, and with assurance that the country will not only have enormous supplies of grain, but a market for it at good prices, business is im proving throughout the north. The movement begins close to the farms; country merchants are buying more freely, and their purchases are felt by wholesalers and manufacturers. Bradstreet's review of railway business for the recent week is encouraging, and begins as follows: Signs of a decided turn in the tide of gross railway earnings are more numer pus in the returns for July. These are in many respects the most encouraging for any month this year, and in fact are the heaviest alike in amount and percentage of grain of any month since the summer of 1890, pointing to a large business by the railways generally, but more particularly to a great gain by roads in the sections where the cereal crops Lave begun an early movement. In addition to the heavier grains in amount and percentage shown in July, additional encouraging features are not mcKing. jjarge aggregate gains ml earnings of the individual companies are a feature. Sew Money Paper. Hoisington Bank Reporter: Samples of the new paper to be used for L nited States bills have been received at the government mills. It is called "localized fiber paDer," and is entirely different from that used heretofore. The new paper will be distinguished by two lines of scattered red and blue silk r of an inch long, threads, crossing the bill from top to bottom. The lines will be an inch wide, each an inch and a half from the center of the bill, the reverse side of the bill opposite the lines will be left blank, so that the fiber may be easily distinguished. Railway Progress for 1891. The total miles of main line track laid ia the United States in the half year are 1,639. F or thesame period in 1890 the new track laid were 2,055 miles. In 1889 1,181, and in If the average ratio of railroad building in the first half year to that in the whole year is maintained In 1871, the total for the year will be a little less than 5,000 miles. The southern states east of the Mississippi river etill lead, they having laid about 57 ier cent ot all the tracks built so far this year. 1888 2,889. CALL EARLY. 360 24th Street.
