A Ciiooil Niiggevtlon, A real estate dealer in a neighboring city was recently interviewed by a reporter and suggested the following which might be adopted in Provo with profit: Tell the real estate men, he said, to club together and arrange to furnish the newspapers with matter relative to the advantages and resources of Ogden and the adjacent country. They ought to provide, a special reporter to write special articles, or else do the work themselves, so that the newspaper reporters may obtain information and items which they do not have time nor opportunity to obtain in the course of their regular work. Then the real estate men should arrange to purchase these papers aud send them out over the country and thus spread the information. They can send out a thousand or more papers every week, and by this means not only benefit themselves, but the newspapers also. The papers can do a great deal for the business men and real estate dealers. In fact, they are the greatest of all enterprises in the building lip of the City.
