there It was wag wasa waga a abird bird There wore a st few men play playIng playing Ing Ins cards or billiards or reading tho the Ogden papers when wo we reached the tho club The members of the party many of them know tho those thoe c men In a business way wn A low few of the card players or the tl c students of the Ogden papers got up and shook hands In n a sort Rort of frigid manner with some somo of their business acquaintances a Maybe they ther feared If It they the the visitors would send in a draft or something like that the tho way na it looked at any rate rato The mon moo in the tho club with but few Cen exceptions were nere too busy bus to bo be more moro than coldly courteous Well we had some speeches Mayor Dill Bill Glasmann Hasmann really rose to the tho occasion Ho sur surprised surprised us and ho he galvanized the Ogden men who were present by b declaring that Salt Lake City had outstripped Ogden so far and so 50 quickly In every way w y that Ogden could no longer longel bo to considered a n rival of tho capital Mayor Maor praised the spirit of tho the enterprise shown by b tho the Com Conr Commercial menial mercial club and declared that the excursion was a brilliant idea illeR and that every business man In Inthe inthe the tho state should con consider sidor himself benefited by b tho the closer relationship between the tho various towns and cities that would result from the excursion At the conclusion of Mayor Glas manns talk another member of the tho Weber club talked of the railroad sit Ho said that Salt SaIL Lake way was using every effort possible to circle Ogden Ogdon with railroads but bul to let lel nono none of or them touch Ogden He said that the latest proposition was to take tako one ono railroad away awn from Ogden and give gho It to Farmington I The proposition was fully full and clearly clear described by Secretary Joseph JosephE E Calno Caine of the Commercial club In his address at Logan Mr Ir Caine said that In i n over

Lako City Cit delegates arrived in Ogden all aU right but they did not march to the Weber eber club chub A largo large portion remained in saloons about half were drunk before the thc night n was passed and the remainder devoted their time lime to an asinine effort to lo show those thosa with whom thoy ilio came in contact that they thoy tho had no right lo to be bo living In Ogden For instance the representative of ofa ofa a Salt Snit Lake newspaper now who was with the party part imbibed freely freel in the cup that cheers and after long delay delar ar are arrived arrived rived at a 1 local telegraph office once where his conversation ran something like this What in is the matter with this rube town taws Como down to Salt Lake you gang of o a Ignorant and learn loarn something Why you OU send down to MY tY car and get MY IY story elory for MY paper Of or course no noone noone noone one could expect decent treatment from a town like Ogden Upon my m return r to lo Salt Sall Lake I shall have havo you ou all discharged And then the Salt Lake business businessmen men wonder yonder why Ogden failed lo to follow tho loo example of Its mayor and lick lisle the tho boots of the tho visitors Too bad indeed that Ogden knowing that thal I every over member of the delegation devoted de devoted voted his time while at home to I Jealous j attempts at nt the thc destruction of Ogden and her Interests should fall tall to don a hypocritical smile and extend a glad hand to Salt Sail Lake As a n matter of fact the visitors shown more courteous attention than their previous
