Awaiting them at the club rooms were many Weber club members, mem-bers, who, individually and collectively, collec-tively, acted as hosts throughout the evening. After nearly an hour of handshaking and general social enjoymentthe en-joymentthe visitors being' shown the many fine details of the club rooms the company filed into the large dining room, singing "The Gang's All Here" and other appropriate appro-priate songs. Vases of white and yellow lilies on the tables and a large national flag artistically draped on the middle of the east wall lent rare charm to the appearance of the room.

The Hon. Fred J. Kiesel was the next speaker and was introduced as the "Father of the Weber club." He was also given nn enthusiastic greeting. greet-ing. Mr. Kiesel began his talk by saying that the occasion was one that the Weber club should bo proud of and he hoped that it would result In much good. Ho then took up the subject, sub-ject, "Pioneers and Progress." In the opening he characterized Brigham ' Young as the pioneer "par excellence", saying that his far-sightedness through inspiration was felt oven in the work of tho people of Utah at the present lime. He told in particular par-ticular of the work of the early pioneers pio-neers In making the desert to "blossom "blos-som as the rose" through irrigation in Utah, and then gave a brief review of the work done by the company led by Charles C. Rich in beginning the development of lower California. He spoke also of the early history of Ogden and of Its development de-velopment under the direction of the pioneers, Captain William Brown, Lo-rin Lo-rin Fnrr and Chauncoy W. Wost. The early settlement of each part of tho state was covered In his address, trom every point of view. The development develop-ment of mining under the pioneer Gen- eral Connor, was spoken of and the building of the great railroad systems of the west was given in detail with a stirring tribute to Stanford, Huntington, Hunt-ington, Ames, Oakes and Durani, the builders, than whom, the speaker paid, no greater railroad men had ever lived. In closing he told, In an impressive impres-sive manner, of the great progress that had been made In Salt Lake City since he arrived there in 1863, stating stat-ing that an old blacksmith shop occupied oc-cupied the land where the new "Walker "Walk-er Brothers bank now stands, the old tithing house was where the Utah hotel Is located, and the beautiful Mormon temple wa3 not then above Its foundations. He gave a brief review re-view of Ogden's past history and of Its future said: "Ogden, developing financially and commercially, and as the greatest railroad center this side of Omaha, skyscrapers rearing their heads, realizing re-alizing the magnificent destiny predicted pre-dicted by Brigham Young, Ogden to be the one great railroad center In Utah, a revelation I have had the faith to believe and ever shall." To Will Farrcll, the genial secretary secre-tary of the Salt Lake Commercial club, was assigned the subject, "The United States of Zlon." He digressed, however, to say that the Rotary club had brought George Relf, the manager of the Utah hotel, to Ogden to get a meal, and the others to learn how to entertain. He said that Salt Lake had learned much and taken many good men from Ogden. He said that when Salt Lake had wanted a druggist, drug-gist, it had sent to Ogden for Clem Schramm; as an exalted ruler for the Elks club, they had taken Abbott Ma-glnnls; Ma-glnnls; and when it had needed a banker to save its financial Institutions Institu-tions it had taken . The name of the banker was not mentioned, but the Inference was obvious. Speaking to his subject, he referred to the cities of the state in their relationship relation-ship to each other and closed by saying say-ing that the business men, the officials offi-cials and the people of each community communi-ty should work together and then we would have " a United States oCZIon." W. F. Jensen, president of the Salt Lake Commercial club, was called upon up-on and in a brief talk said that he would like to see big things done in Utah and that to do big things It would be necessary to develop a spirit of broadmlndodness, to leave personal Interests aside and to pull together for the interests of the state. A. P. Bigelow was the next speaker introduced, and, on the subject ot "Commercial Hopes," said: "About 25 years ago, when I came to Utah. I found the resources of the country to be mostly farming, stockraising and mining. The products prod-ucts of tho farm were mostly hay, grain and potatoes. Ogden had a population of 10,000 and I was particularly par-ticularly impressed by the fact that the people seemed to have very little lit-tle Income from outside sources it did not seem to much more than offset the interest on their Indebtedness, Indebted-ness, held In the east. "The 25 years have wrought a wonderful change. The farmers now raise sugar beets, tomatoes and fruit, In addition to the crops they raised then, and, on account of their having hav-ing devoted a part of their land to these very profitable crops, it has more than doubled, the price they receive re-ceive for their hay and grain raised on the balance of the farm. Therefore, There-fore, they are now prosperous and well-to-do, as a class. "Many manufacturing enterprises have started, mostly in a small way, and practically all have had a large measure of success, and have gained from year to year. "Most of our enterprises are converting con-verting the raw materials Into wealth. Our sugar is shipped to all of the intermountaln country; our to-matoeB to-matoeB go to Duluth on the north and Galveston on the south; our condensed con-densed milk Is shipped throughout the entire western part of our country; coun-try; our Ogden cement Is being built Into the highest dam in the world, at Arrowhead, nnd our copper Is mined with steam shovels. "Utah has become a wholesaling state and supplies her neighboring states from the big warehouses of Ogden and Salt Lake City, with a large part of .their merchandise. "And I believe that among the big things in store for us is the further development of the wholesale business. busi-ness. No city has failed to grow and continue to grow, whose location made lt a logical wholesale center. "Dry farming methods have been developed until now one of the fairest fair-est promises of the future is that the vast area of fertile foothill lands will be made to yield great crops of wheat. "The increase In population of Utah was 14 per cent In the last ten years It has been mainly confined con-fined to. Salt Lake City and Ogden. "The settlement of such dry land sections as the Promontory has been since 1910. "It should be our aim to encourage encour-age an increase of our ruraj population. popula-tion. "With our great diversity of, mineral min-eral resources, our grazing lands, which will never be broken up as they have in thet east, our combination combina-tion of soil, water and climate a climate which works magic on the crops this will be one of the great granaries of the country and our people will be known as prosperous and let ub all work to the end that we may be a happy people too." At this point, the name of C. A. Quigley, past president of the Rotary club, was called and he answered, saying that. the object of those who had called was to embarrass him, but that Instead of being embarrassed, embar-rassed, in having to make an extemporaneous ex-temporaneous talk, he was most willing will-ing and ready to do so as the courtesy cour-tesy of the Weber club had so impressed im-pressed him that he was full of praise for it and he was glad to be given an opportunity. He paid a sincere sin-cere tribute to the club, which, he said, was not only known in Utah, but throughout the country by the splendid manner in which many guests from outside states had been entertained by it while in the city of Ogden. He was sincerely pleased by the manner in which he and his fellow members of the Rotary club had been treated In the present instance in-stance and hoped that the Rotary club might be able to reciprocate at an early date. Mr. Quigley also said that if he had first come to Ogden instead oi Salt Lake that he would surely have made this his home forever, as the location, loca-tion, scenic attractions, commercial enterprise and more than all, the good will of Its people, as it had been known to him, made the cjty one in which anyone would be proud t to live. Ex-Senator Stephen H. Love was called to answer a toast and " after speaking in humorosu vein for several sev-eral minutes, paid a tribute to .Ogden .Og-den and its people. In closing he said: "There is an Ogden man, not present pres-ent tonight, who has brought to your city- not only national but International Interna-tional recognition. That man is John M. Browning. While I was visiting the Hall of Fame at Washintgon, D, C, I noticed that Utah was not represented rep-resented in the list of statues o great men. I propose, therefore, that a Tvbrk be taken up to have a statue of John M. Browning of Ogden placed in that hall as Utah's representative rep-resentative In the list of famous-men. famous-men. And," he continued, "I would like to see It done while he is alive." The suggestion was met by an ovation ova-tion of applause and cheers. Ex-Senator Simon Bamberger said that, according to his understanding, every man hari a mission to perform in life and that he had performed his by bringing Salt Lake and Ogden together and that from what he knew of the two clubs present he facetiously faceti-ously said he believed that they should go to Provo, and with that he introduced A. J. Orem, president of the Orem Electric Railway company, com-pany, which is building a line from Salt Lake to Provo. Mr. Orem was taken by surprise, but, after, stating that Mr. Bamberger Bamber-ger was much more able than he to speak upon the subject of "electrically "elec-trically yours," than he was. he made a neat speech. He said that there was a bright prospect for an electric interurbau system through tho whole state and hoped to see the day when that would be accomplished. accomplish-ed. The trolley lines, he continued, are to the cities and the suburban districts in a state what the steam railroads are to the nation. In Utah the opening up of thousands of acres of land to cultivate make the prospects pros-pects of a large country population loom up and an electric line from Preston, Idaho, to the Arizona border would be a 'great factor in the commercial com-mercial life of the state. He paid tribute to the Ogden Rapid Transit company for the work it has done in the northern part of the state and to Mr. Bamberger for the part he has played in the building of electric roads. He closed by saying: "Blest be the tie that binds us with electric power, every hour, in an hour,, on the hour." Sam R. Neel, secretary of the Rotary Ro-tary club, was called and expressed his feelings in the following poetic manner: "1 love the state of Utah with Its fields of wheat and corn, "I love the Utah sunshine and the snappy Utah, morn ; "And Bpeaking mctaphorlc, I grew fat on Utah's crops, "And never mind that absence of the yield of rye and hops. . "I love the Utah salt and her. famous celery, "And I dearly love the bunch that form the Rot-aree. "I love the Utah scenery and I love the Utah jokes, "But the thing I love in Utah most, is the Utah kind of folks." Fred Richmond oi the Salt Lake Je- Commercial club answered a call for Ik a few remarks by saying that he $3? and other members of the Salt Lake Commercial club had been greatly M Impressed for a "number of years 1$ with the progress and good financial " standing of the Weber club of Ogden and they had wondered how such a ? condition was made possible. They 3 had visited the Weber club and had 1 talked to its officers and members In and, in the spirit of friendship and M loyalty that existed between the Kj members of the Ogden club, had been K revealed the reason for the club's B success. This spirit of loyalty, he B said, was remarkable and it was a B lesson to him. He believed that If fl such a spirit, could be Inculcated by the Salt Lake club or any other W commercial club,, that its success B would be assured. B As the program was completed with the exception of an address by B M. S. Browning, who had been de- B tained, President Scowcroft called B upon the Hon. Fred J. Kiesel for a fl few more remarks. It was in this fl talk that a real bombshell was ex- fl ploded. Mr. Kiesel began by saying H that in his first talk he had omitted fl one of his most important thoughts fl and that he had been thinking of it fl during the entire evening. This was, fl he said, that the National Irrigation fl Congress should be revived and fl brought to Ogden this year. Purther H than that, he wanted it brought to fl Ogden every year. Next to the Na- g ti'onal Congress at Washington In Iff importance, was the National Irriga- FT tion congress and its lapse in the last year had been a thing to de- plore. Irrigation and its kindred In- '-.' dustry, and dry , farming were the h . two greatest features in the upbuild- . Ing in the nation and as it had been !- revived in Ogden in 1903, it could V? be revived Jn Ogden again and held successfully every year. w- He spoke of how the congress had , Iff been held in Sacramento, El Paso, ib Pueblo and Salt Lake City since 1903 fVj and how that It was not held last year owing to Phoenix.

The national of- ' p ficers, for the most part," he said, : $ are in Salt Lake City and he asked the co-operation of the Rotary club and the Salt Lake Commercial club m in securing the Irrigation Congress 'M for Ogden, not only this year, but A perpetually ' .j As aoon as Mr. Kiesel took his . seat, Eugene Owens, a member of ?, the Salt Lake Commercial club, k arose and made a motion that, the , Salt Lake Commercial club and the ' - Salt Lake Rotary club give their sup- Lk port to Ogden to have the desire of (Continued on Page Three.) ROTARY CLUB OF ZlON ENTERTAINED (Continued from Page Two.) Mr. Klesel fulfilled. The motion was Seconded and when it was put by President Scowcroft, it was carried unanimously and amid cheers. M. S. Browning entered the dining rpom while the motion was being put and, after quiet was restored, performed per-formed his part of the program. His talk "was rich In humor and a fitting fit-ting climax to the social occasion, and, in a spirit of rare good humor, the party vacated the djning room and spent the remainder of the even-irig even-irig In the other attractions of the club.
