relation I 1 to his work at new orleans and I 1 the fermenting ol 01 the proposition to unito unite the south and the west and I 1 1 below is given in one general sub f lance the replica replies to those inquiries 4 I 1 1 I left ogden ur for new orleans at the b e instance of my brother that city contains the moat most generous gone genial I 1 and hospitable people in the world I 1 went there unfamiliar with P many facts with which I 1 am now I 1 I 1 conversant new now orleans has no W manufactures manufacture a or products of its own it is not a wealthy city but there are I 1 individual citizens who possess great areat wealth I 1 talked with them and euc sue ceedee in enthusing them with the truthfulness of the old story about he wonders of the west the seed was eown and now it is beginning to bear fruit I 1 told them and did so truly that our carnival waa not BO so much tor for the tinsel and show of amusing spectacular exhibitions as for something of greater lm r r the people of the west L desired a more rapid development and population of the country they knew of the south their interests wera were identical the operation cooperation co I 1 would bring development to the west i and power we r and political influence to the gb combined a 1 1 d south and west what r wast wasted was to ld be donea 0 ne after a thorough investigation vesti gation we resolved to app appoint ointa a I 1 committee bold hold a carnival and invite our southern friends to attend a pleasing entertainment for tao the purpose of t a thorough acquaintance I 1 informed them that this was a great and rapidly growing country and our wants and necessities grew more hapu rapidly on us than our products we bad had been at the mercy of railroads and were earnestly tl desirous of a point of exit and entrance on the seaboard aboard ee that we I 1 might no longer suffer from the treatment given the inland cities of the west 11 now one of the facts I 1 learned 0 while bile tharo was that new orleans I 1 enaes the best beat deep water harbor I 1 ma on the h e gulf of mexico or the mississippi 1 rier river an investigation of the 1 harbor at galveston gait eston and other places I 1 1 proved this to be a fact the eads jetties betties through the mississippi sip 1 delta give now to new orleans a pharboo harbor with a depth of 40 feet I 1 have seen een ocean steamers moored at the sidewalks in that city 1 I told them that I 1 came to represent the Westi western lra country for the purpose puri I 1 ot of establishing social and commercial relations between my people I 1 0 and them they listened kindly to my a appeal and as I 1 continued they t became ca m te interested then I 1 addressed all the board of trade organizations in I 1 the city ot of new orleans and the chamber ot of commerce the members of which comprise all the boards alluded to in this matter they invariably 11 answered that as soon the busy 1 I season was over they would fiend send an J organized body of business men to the city to see if all I 1 bad had said about ogden utah and the surrounding territories was lust just as represented se and to meet with your 1 business men here to talk over the pro prospective relations between the two 1 mentions of the country I 1 1 I met representative men from all I 1 1 I parts of the south throughout texas tennessee mississippi and louisiana they one and all ex pressed expressed an intense desire to invests investigate ate the western wester 1 coun country and establish ill friendly 1 relations which would prove the old I 1 adage true in union there 11 is strength 11 now their first of july is the same e as our first of january that is is on 0 that day all their business is closed up I 1 for the past twelve months as an we do here on new years for that reason I 1 they were in the midst of their most important business settlements when the time for their visit to ogden arrived many were therefore reluctant an ly forced to ghe give up the trip the few who came here however were representative men as you well know before I 1 left I 1 asked them leaving all personal feeling as aside ide nor counting uny friends friendship hip what do you think of the representation made of this country and what you have it was certainly h gratifying gratifying to learn that they one b an and all felt that the whole truth as to i the extent wealth resources c e an and d future power of the w western es to coil country tr y had not been told captain captai n 11 pickles il e I 1 II 11 ell tl showed bow how he found my r representations depre son t a by investing all I 1 bad stated state to them and on which they bated based their visit they declared 4 1 to be corroborated by an actual 5 existence of fact they admitted also 1 t I that their an own hospitality was equaled Y by the deop people a of ogden a broad statement when the proverbial hospitality Z 0 of new orleans and the south in generally brally which can be fully appreciated I 1 to only ril y by those who have partaken partaker par taken of I 1 it is taken into consideration now let mo me come to the point 11 L new orleans today to day has not a eingle I 1 I 1 railroad running into it bat but what is 1 I 1 owned by outside people she has no factories to speak of the union pacific is friendly to the west as an the tile west la in friendly to the union I 1 pacific it is therefore well understood that where the west dearrea to go in seeking a deep water harbor f tor or 0 I 1 exit there the union pacific will 4 build the union pacific now aown t 1 the line from ogden to fort worth texas and controls the line to houston from houston to new now orleans it Is miles to galveston Gal 71 I 1 miles and to the mouth of the brazos or the Fa sabine birte pass page a few miles 1 further at these places attempts I 1 are now being made to establish deep water harbors at galveston they are seeking congressional au ahl to remore Z more the bar that at present makes the harbor unfavorable if it is to I 1 the interest of the west lest to go to new orleans the tile union pacific will go 4 there it to the 0 gulf u if i there is s 1 where the exit w will ill be f found d new now Ot oilcans leatis lias has by far the best harbor barbor A city has boa already been made there of she Is the largest sh shipping ap pp ng point on the I 1 sipi and there are none of any importance artance below her new now orleans has as probably ob as much influence with t the he anio union n pacific as be the west and the interest of the two sections demand domand that an alliance be formed I 1 tha the
