This concern la one of the pioneer establishments in Ogden and during the time it has acted business in the city has ever stood for her best interests, by assisting projects that meant for her material welfare and by the very volume of business transacted attracting the attention of the entire section to Ogden as the center of the wholesale lumber business. To a very great extent it Is the pioneer concerns of every business that has made Ogden the recognised distributing point of this section and it has been their success, obtained after years for persistent effort, that has attracted the numerous younger businesses that are to be found here today. The business was established S3 years ago by David Kcclea and the lumber sold and handled at that time was for the greater part cut in the Ogden valley. The concern was Incorporated in 1688 and, although at that time it was one of the largest concerns of the time In the city, it has maintained that prestige and today the Eecles Lumber company is recognised as the largest lumber and building concern In the city of Ogden. The Immense volume of business transacted enables them to supply their customers with goods of superior quality nt s price that smaller corn-erare unable to meet because of the small quantities in which they are compelled to buy.

This viaduct; will permit the passage of highway traffic over a busy thoroughfare, across and above the busy switching and rail- road work below. The completion of the viaduct means, In addition to the building of a new ! freight office, the erection of a Short 000 storehouse for the Oregon Line. Thousands and thousands of dol-lars In these improvements and In these lines will be expended at Ogden by the Harrlman system during tbe coming year. One of the magnificent projects of the Harrlman lines is a great power plant, located In Weber canyon, east of the city, upon which contractors are, now busy, and which will provide al-most unlimited electricity for the pro nioters. This Is only further proof of the faith of the railroads In this city. The Southern Pacific. Regarding the Southern Pacific, a Salt Lake paper recently said: He has secured control of a right of beway and a couple of streaks of rust tween Ogden and Ban Francisco, " was the remark made by experienced railroad men a few years ago, when Ed. H. Harrlman secured control of the Southern Pacific. For years the road had not paid a dividend. Tet in the few years that Harrlman has been at the head of the Southern Pacific he has made It one of the best roads in the country, to say nothing of putting it on the dividend paying list It Is not a part of the improvements nen 'h woh JT" otJ 1 h, and it - Is now declared that there Is little or no the entire Salt Lake division, In i danger to the embankmenta from high winds and waters of the lake.
