Due to the i nt ran e of the Spe.rry and Globe Com inles into thls field ogden is now undisputedby the chief grain milling mill-ing ind er.-.i i handling renter for this region. The Chamber of commerce has been 10 in in Initiating now movements, such as the building f an .iddltior.ul hospital, furmbng a rating bureau, pro-vding pro-vding a new hoiel, etc. Strong financial finan-cial interests have recently undertaken in earnest to give Ogden a modern hotel of Sufficient capacity to rare for conventions, etc. IKFOJt! 11 Io BUREAI 1 Upon return of the railroads to j private owm rship the chamber obtained ob-tained permission to re-establish an information in-formation bureau ai the Union station, placing the same in charge Of I'roT. J. A. Smith, who'ls a good talker and ONE OF THE THIRTY-FIVE MAGAZINES BEING BUILT Jfor machine shops ! possr s'i d of a fund of information I, concerning Ogden and northern Utah. His duties are to interest as many as possible of the tourists delayed be-I be-I tweert trains in Ogden, and to judi-: judi-: ciously iIace our advertising matter ! !n the hands of those who express a desire for further Information. A i common practice In the ease of an int. rested party who has a half-hour layover is to advise a walk onto the ' viaduct and a view of ogden's I'.u - tories Mr. Smith believes thai a ; tower at tne station of sufficient height to afford the same view as do the viaduct would e a good ad-I ad-I vertlslng Investment. ADVER1 IM i No direct advertising in newspapers or magazines has been undertaken, but .the chamber maintains a Supply of folders and purchase.- hundreds ol cop-lies cop-lies of newspapers and magazines conr rtnlnlng articles and pictures of og-1 og-1 den. A bundle containing about twen- l.ty inserts of this literature is sent to such parties as write for Information. This prmted matter is only given out upon request, nevertheless, it has been necessary to have printed -10,000 copies of' one folder during the year. One thousand letters setting forth the advantages ad-vantages of Ogden as a residential city have been, sent to stockmen of the ad-Joinljig ad-Joinljig states. 1 JNTj it I v i MUNI' or VISITORS. .Many distinguished guests, railroad Officials and delegations have been ntertained Banquets have been given giv-en to Governor Hrough, Senator Smoot, Governor Bamberger, railway officials, District Forester Kutledge and others. This has incurred no great expense, .since' the chamber paid for the outside out-side guests only. These entertainments and banijuets have resulted In several decisions favorable to Ogden.

A greatly Increased number of I the Information we are able to give J them, as well as for the at commud l- lions at the camping grounds j An open forum has been e.st.ih- lllshed. io which the entire membership member-ship of the Chamber of Commerce is I called once u month, the object being (to give every member an opportunity I to express his opinion on the needs of 'the citv. and what should be done to 1 BBflBfll meet the requirements.

The Chamber of Commerce and the j BBBJ Weber club have functioned, as was BBBbI intended, practically as one organlza- BBBJ tion.
