OGDEN CITY.


Next to Salt Lake, Ogden is the second most populous city in the Ter- ritory, and is also second in commercial importance. Its founder was Captain James Brown, of the Mormon Battalion, who purchased, in 1848, a tract of land from an Indian trader named Miles M. Goodyear. This land, on which Ogden City is now situated, was a grant to Goodyear from the Spanish Government; and the purchase was made by Brown prior to the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by which the Territory of which Utah is a part was ceded to the United States. This section covered a tract of land commencing at the north of Weber Canyon and following the base of the mountains north of the Hot Springs, thence west to the Salt Lake, thence south along the shore to the point opposite Weber Canyon, thence east to the beginning. This land was then uncultivated and the sum paid was $3,000. The site was one of the most eligible in the Territory at that date, and a later period gives fuller evidence of the good judgment displayed by those who looked forward to Ogden as a place of future importance. Possessing such a desirable advantages of a natural character-splendid farming land, with an abundance of water and fine grazing tracts, those in search of locations for permanent homes flocked rapidly to Weber County. Ogden being not only the first settled, but possessing also the greatest natural advantages, was the centre to which trade and wealth tended. The first form of government in this, as in all other settlements founded by mem- bers of the Latter-day Saints, was ecclesiastical, but was not a necessity very long, as by the action of the provisional government of the State of Deseret, Ogden became an incorporated city in 1851. the first municipal election being held on the 23d day of October of the same year; the act of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory, incorporating Ogden, was passed January 18, 1861. Community action and assistance in those days were abso- lutely indispensable to community welfare, not only as a means of growth and increase, but as a protection from the aborigines and wild beasts which roamed the land unchecked. Hon. Lorin Farr was Ogden's first Mayor; the Aldermen were Charles R. Dana, Erastus Bingham, Francello Durfee and James G. Browning: the Councilors, Levi Murdock, Samuel Stickney, John Shaw, B. W. Nolan, D. B. Dillie, Ithamer Sprague, Daniel Burch, Jonathan Browning, James Lake, James Brown, Joseph Grover and F. Dempsey.


The same drawback which beset the agricultural industry in all parts of the Territory, was in and around Ogden greatly felt by the hardy pioneers of that section, but they realized that "where there's a will there's a way." and as a result of their perseverance the foundation of a vast irrigation system was immediately laid. The Weber River was tapped in 1852, by a canal about seven miles in length, from which water was obtained to irrigate the lower part of the city. Five years later, this was followed by a canal on the "bench," by which the upper portion of Ogden was watered. This latter enterprise cost the young community some $50,000, and was carried to completion with great difficulty, the situation being so new and the resources so scarce. But this factor for making the desert blossom has been so effectually and understandingly manipulated, that the farms, gardens and orchards, which dot the blocks and surroundings of Weber County's capital, are stern facts and beauty spots, which the inhabitants are proud of and the visitor is delighted to behold.


The steady march of progress brought improvement after improvement, and as the population increased, the public buildings and accommodations were enlarged, year after year, until now the substantial character, beauty of architecture and number of houses of a public nature, in Ogden, are referred

to by all who are interested in that city's welfare and future with genuine pride. Its Court House, churches and schoolhouses, especially, are enduring nionu- ments to the thrift of the people, while the hotels, stores, business places and residences, built, the greater part of them, of brick, after the latest and pret- tiest designs, are a credit to the place and an honor to their owners. Steady and sure was Ogden's growth, until the building of the transcontinental rail- roads gave it increased facilities and resources, and strengthened its lease on existence, more than its most ardent admirer ever dreamed of. With the blowing of the first locomotive whistle by the Union Pacific Railroad, on the 3d of March, 1869, the future of the Junction City was assured, for business, enterprise, capital, people and life, and enhanced prosperity were thereafter to be brought to her from the east and from the west. And, subsequently, when the Utah Central Railway was completed and opened for travel to and from Salt Lake City, another outlet for her productions and an opening for her patrons were afforded. And, again, when the Utah and Northern was finished, and the first train of cars left for the north, the inhabitants of Ogden City began to realize the importance of their headquarters as a railroad point. Then, when the little D. & R. G. invaded its borders and began a regular passenger and freight traffic, to and fro, the enthusiasm pointing to Ogden attaining to metropolitan proportions was indeed great. But Ogden's future lies not alone in her railroad connections. She has material wealth within her borders, which will prove substantial and lasting. The manufacturing interests have a bright prospect, the iron trade is one which is inducing considerable capital to be invested therein; the attention of stock raisers is being given to the breeding and propagating of good-blooded equines, cattle, sheep and other animals, while the large number of farms, orchards and gardens, close at hand, are firmly established sources of wealth. Bankers and business men have great confidence in the commercial, industrial and agricultural future of Ogden, and are investing largely of their means in the erection of suitable and substantial business houses. The flouring mills of President John Taylor, Clark & Co., Peery & Mack and Stevens & Stone are among the best in the west, fitted up with most approved machinery and the latest patented improvements for turning out flour of superior grades in large quantities. They have all been recently improved and the capital invested in the n has been put to the best possible use in furthering the industry of milling, for which there is a broad field in Weber County and neighborhood. The woolen mills of Lorin Farr & Son, started about sixteen years ago, have recently received additions, and now contain twelve looms, one "jack" with 350 spindles, one spinning mule, two carding and two picking machines, and one each of the shearing, wash- ing and scouring machines. They use the wool yield of Northern Utah principally, and are a source of revenue to the owners which must be gratify- ing in the extreme. Beside these mills there are a broom factory, vinegar works, powder works, iron works and breweries, which, beside employing a large number of hands, is each doing an extensive and paying business.
