Show FIFTEEN HUNDRED PARTICIPATE I Procession Over Three Miles Long !H 1 000 Plates Laid at College H BIG CRUSH HANDLED PERFECTLY H Hon. Fied.I. Klesel the chief cook of the big affair at Ogdcn was Indro-duccd, Indro-duccd, and In an effort to say that he was not a speaker, the gentleman made quite a talk. He then explained that he would sing instead of talk. He had "such a beautiful little ode, the sentiment Is so good," he said, and then launched forth on a production produc-tion that had been thrown together during tho trip from Ogdcn to this city. Klesel couldn't even call hogs, but his efforts brought out rounds qf hearty applause. Following Mr. Klesel, came our own Moses Thatcher, whom we all admire, respect and delight to hear. Mr. Thatcher was Introduced as the pioneer of the valley and as he stood up was greeted with the most hearty applause of tho occasion. Mr. Thatcher Thatch-er said that he was not only a pioneer of Cache Valley but of the state as well, coming Into Salt Lake Valley In 1847. When he came to Logan there were but seven log houses here. He touched on the Irrigation problem and told how much it had done for the valley. Apostle John Ilejiry Smith was the last speaker and occupied but just a moment's time referring to the fact that Irrigation had made possible the gathering of the day, and told the visitors that Cache Valley In its pres-ent.state pres-ent.state Is the Work of an "outcast and friendless people." At this juncture it was announced that tho visitors had but a very short time in which to get to their trains and were advised to hustle. Three cheers were offered in a manner that evinced sincerity and the visitors were directed to the carriages and conveyed to the station, from which they departed about 4:30. Summed up In a word the day, was a delightfully successful one. There weie fully 700 delegate's and vlsltois taken care of and as many as a thousand plates at the banquet. There were no hitches In the arrangements, arrange-ments, no accidents, no delays and everybody was bright and happy. Logan and Cache county have just reason to congratulate themselves. NOTES. Prof. Fortler, formerly of this city and the A. C. of U. was present and greeted many old friends. Logan people expressed regret that Pres. Kerr of the A. C. of II. did not speak at the banquet. It certainly would have been most fitting. That check room affair at the A. C. was a thoughtful and faultless arrangement. ar-rangement. The visitors were directed di-rected to the largo chapel where students took their hats and wraps, Visitors were Unstint- H ed in Praise of the H HHHHHHJ Valley and' the En- H tertainment Offered H deposited them In a certain numbered H scat, gave the depositor a check bear- HHH lngthat number, and then at tho 1 close of tho performance produced the HHH article on presentation of the number. HHH 'Tis said that but ono difficulty was H experienced, and that as a result of a HHH gentleman losing his check. HHH The bands did nobly on this oc- HHI caslon and are to be commended for H their kindness. Tho boys enlivened H the day very much and did not sit , H back on their dignity and play only '" HHI as they felt like It. They wero in tho HHI spirit of the affair and blowcd them selves to a finish. The disposition HHI that leads them to keep together as HHH a musical organization led them to HHH do all that it was possible for a band HHJ to do. May their shadows never grow less." t HHI From accounts.the trip Of. the visit- . HHI or from Ogden to this city was ah ' HHJ ovation all, the way. Through' the H fruit belt of Box Elder county tho H train was stopped frequently to per- H mlt the citizens to furnish fruits for HHI the crowd. The baggage car was al- HHI most filled with peaches, apples, H grapes, nectcrlncs of the largest slzo H and finest varieties. The train was HHfl stopped In Box Elder canyon,also, and HHI there was a general expression from H the visitors .that they had seen noth- H Ing liner In their trips over the conn- HHJ Hfl The display of good horseflesh anil H sightly vehicles called forth unstinted jH admiration from the guests. They jH were free to say that Ogden offered HHJ nothing of the kind, that there was' HHI positively no comparison. In Logan, H most of the vehicles werc'nlccly clean- H ed carriages that presented an cle- HHJ gant appearance, and most of the HHJ teams were flue large draft horses, HHJ while at Ogden the large dlcapldated H Ludlows and poor teams were all that HHJ could be furnished by the tiansporta- H tloti people.
