Show Southwest, Ogdon. has "a larger and more resourceful territory adjacent to It than Kaneua City, and from this source alone it should . build U : city of several hi.indrod thousand popular tlon; Kansas 'CMv grew because It advertised, and ir Ogdon 'will ulver-tlse ulver-tlse persistently, It" may b' as Urno a cty :ik Kansas City, because tho adjacent ad-jacent country t'i fVden Is being: de-veloped de-veloped very rnpldly. and all wo have to do In to torch "out and socre the Increase of population pnd wealth froin this compredwiiHivo t'Tj-''rrv persistent and c ntlnued adverting. The second iltorial "('oilman and-Idaho and-Idaho Falls" show? whM one man can do by perntsU'nt, continues and vrr!.-Htlrir pushing and advertising. Recently when the re-prevents Mven of the "Oninh" ne" wero In Ocden and desired me to suscrlW- to advertising In the "Omnha llee", I told them that I believed In advertising, and I believed be-lieved Ocden needed advertising more than any other city In America i-wlnar to Its great ropeurees, but' that I would not advert ice In tho "Omaha Doe" tinloBfl It was done systematically systemati-cally and on a large scalo large enough to warrant pome results, and If they would ralFc fhe thousand dollars dol-lars for advertising Ogdon, I would pay one hundred dollars of that sum, the amount was nNed nl five thousand thou-sand dollars la now being spent advertising ad-vertising Oyden nnd Its resources In tho "Omaha Dee". For many yeara past no' systematic, persNtent, continuous effort has been made to advertise Ogdon." Much money has frittered away In Issuing lwoklcts and other fragmentary .advertising, .ad-vertising, most of which Is at rresent lying around in back ofJces, never having been sent out after having been Issued. What we need more than any ono thing a suggested by the editorial above referred to, Ih advertising ;n a systeiif lo, scientific and comprehensive manner, and In order to accomplish this result, l orn willing to subscribe one thousand dollars with twenty-four other men or firms, to create a fund of twenty-five thousand dol'ars to be used In systematically sys-tematically advertising Ogdon and its ro?ources, and I am persuaded that if this s;im be Judiciously expended In advertising Ogden and its resources, resour-ces, we will then be able, willing and readv to subscribe one hundred thousand thou-sand dollars to continue the earopa'gn of afhertN'ng alrendv Vieim. j I am w.l'lng at any time t assist J In ergrinlzlne: an advertising campaign cam-paign looking to the execution of the above propositions. J. J. RRUMMITT. 8KI11IT 0! , j PJdltor Standard: - 1 I notice In the morning Standard of Aucunt 23, two editorials which oppeal t me as being something new j In (he editorial field of Ogdon; namely name-ly "Why not advertise?" and "Colt- j man and Idaho Falls." Tho first cd.torlflT furnishes n basis ' on which a confideral)!" can be written, writ-ten, and I will touch ou u few points. Ogden noeds advertising more than any other placo in tho I nited States, a few references arc sufljebut to prove this assertion; the fruit interests inter-ests of Ogden and adjacent country It located elsewhere would m sufficient suffi-cient to build a city of considerable size as proven from the fact that Grand Junction not having as much land adjacent thcroto or as deslro-ble deslro-ble climate has by persistent advertising adver-tising built up a small city, and ha8 Increased tho price of land to from one thousand to two thousand dollars dol-lars per acre, much belter land with good water right, better climatic conditions, con-ditions, better railroad facilities, near : Ogden can be purchased at Twenty-fivo Twenty-fivo per cent ol the juice nuked and rcaelved in Grand Junction. Colorado Colo-rado Springs and Mauitou have built a city as largo as Ogdon by advertising adver-tising persistently, "Th.i Garden of the Gods," their mineral water, "Cheyenne Canyon", "Grand Cavern," and ft few other lesser attractions. Tho "Garden of the Cods" or auy Other scenic beauty that is advertised with such tcll.ug effects quails Into Jnsignlfigancc in comparison with Ogdon Og-don Canyon one of the most stupen- dons pieces of scenerv created by the Almighty on tho American continent; con-tinent; while the I'lah Hot Springs and the springs of the Canyon Sanitarium Sani-tarium arc vastly superior In medicinal medi-cinal properties to any In the vicinity of Colorado Springs; while the bench of the Great Salt Lake Just West of the city on the Southern Pacific Bridge, which is thirty miles lmg. Is Justly entitled to tho position of one of the Seven Wonders of tho World, If located at Colorado Springs would (1)0 a subject which hundreds of tons of advcrUsinc matter would "be font out annually describing, and thousands thou-sands of tourists would be attracted to see and toll of its wonder.

Theo two men as soon as they can realize on their labor will be mult! millionaires, ono of Ihem having recently sold a small part of his holdings for h quarter of a minimi dolln-s. Leadville became great by advertising and a city ad largo as Leadville can bo built in Ogdon Og-don from its mineral resources alone when properly advertised and developed. devel-oped. There are many other resources which mav bo elaborated upon, and which need advertising very much to the great advantage of Ogden, such as a wholesale and jobbing center, a manufacturing point, the canning Interest with Its twenty or more factories, fac-tories, the I'eet sugar Interest, as a desirable residence city, and many others, cno of which I will refer to. that Is the r.Ulroid interest which necessarily brings up the development develop-ment cf the adjacent territory Kansas Kan-sas City received tho greater share of Its growth from tho development of the territory Northwest.
