I THE OGDEN STANDARD: OGDEN. UTAH, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, TT. I I 6 r I'payrolLoften million may GIVE TO OGDEN A NEW RESORT j AND DRAW CAPITAL FOR HOTEL I The proposed summer resort hotel I at Promontory Folnt, which if being , urged by the Merchants of Ogden and is now being con-idered by President Paul Shoup of the Southern Pacific railroad eompanv. will depend largelj on the annual pay roll tabulation of ihe citv, which is estimated to be ap proximately ?10.000.000. Ten million dollars is the estimat ed annual pay roll of Ogden City." said President J S Lewis of the Merchants (. Ogden at the meeting held this morning to discuss t ho throe-day holi day period for the Fourth of July. "We have been tabulating the pay rolls of the city and now have listed' more than $S,000,O00," said Mr Lewi9, "but this does not represent the can firms and other concerns in the City, which should bring the total up to. or i ceeding, the $10,000,000 mark. These 'figures are surprising to us. for we had not believed that Ogden was nidi ri center of industry until we began taking stock "We took up with Mr Shoup the! iPromontory hotel project some timel ago." said Mr. Lewis, "and he asked for figures concerning the pay rolls of the city, saying that he woud in-' vestigate the project and, if it looked crood, he would assist in interesting apital to build the hostelry We have not finished the tabulation, but we are very agreeably surprised to learn that it runs so high." Building of Hotel , The hotel project was discussed at some length and it was decided that the organization would do all in Its power to hasten the development of the plans and the actual construction of the hotel, which they believe is now almost assured. The proposition to build a first-class hotel in Ogden was again brought be lore the Merchants of Ogden for dis cussion this morning by Mr. Lewis, and the plan to unite the forces which are in favor of the hotel project was Idi6cus8ed. Mr. Lewis stated that the matter of uniting had been broached o the Weber club and it developed i that that organization had started on J 8 plan of Its own and will not be' ready to join forces with the mer ehants for some time. The Rotary club, however, which is also interested, has signified a willingness to join im mediately with the merchants. The Merchants of Ogden will name a nominating committee very shortly whose duty will be to nominate prom inent citizens, whether members of their organization or not, to form the finance committee of the Ogden hotel project- Thjs committee, when form ed will have the duty of interesting capital. The pay roll figures will also be used in this project, as well as in other matters of large concern to all i iti7ens of the community. nn 32 YEARS' SERVICE. Mrs A.

I The edition has been delayed con- I JUST HALF l"v President Scaeffer of The Utah Retail I Merchants' Association stated in his address I at Salt Lake that he considered a 25 retail U profit necessary. He further states that the I problem of "unfair" competition was the great I problem confronting the retailers of the coun- I try. That the dealer who sells his wares cheap I in an effort to attract the public is unfair, dis- I honest competition which must be stopped. I He objects to the setting of retail prices by the H manufacturers, because they allow the retailer I only Y'C to 20"r profit. These are admissions H of the things we have long accused association 4 members of being guilty of. That they spend -I, more time in devising ways of charging the if public more profit, than in becoming more ef- I ficient in economical operation, is evident. The V.L gross profit necessary for our stores is just v2i about half the 25 r'f Mr. Scaeffer suggests. The HI average association grocer could not exist long M on our profits. It is little wonder they refer ' , to the cut price, Cash stores as dishonest, un- H I fair competition. I THE QUESTION IS '1 how will the association stop price-cutting A competition? It is a direct benefit to the pub- . rm i lie and fortunately no association so far has the .ll power to force people to cease patronizing the M cut price, Cash stores. We fear their resolu- B j tions to stop this sort of competition will be a St failure. There will be cut price. Cash stores, j just as long as the public is inclined to save on a j j their foods. I OUR ADVICE H ' to association leaders would be that they study 1$j their business individually, from an economical, Jt j j operating standpoint. When this is done their 1 conventions will be a place of le?.rning. A j place where a real business man would enjoy vjl j; being present. OUR INVITATION ; We extend an invitation tn any visiting re- li'm tail grocer, who desires to get out of the rut y9 and away from the old way of selling groceries, 3 I to visit us at our office in the Col. Hudson , 's3 Building. We will be only to glad to furnish VjK any possible information on our price cutting, jWR I Cash plan which has made our stores popular ''ll9 1 with the public and a thorn in the side of the fam 1 old timer.

As school was not expected to be out be fore the middle of June, arrangements were made with the printers and the engraving companies to prepare to do the work on the "Classlcum during j the month of June However, as school was dismissed the tame tini' as usual, the work on the school's! 'magazine had to be laid aside for some time. The edition will be distributed from the high school, where those who are in town will be expected to go to re ceive copies. A great deal of credit is due to the staff of the "Classicum" for its hard work, not only throughout the entire school year but also during the past two months when they have been workmu extremely hard :-o as lo have the last edition out as soon as pos sible. According to hints dropped from members of the staff, this year's sou venir edition is expected to be one ol the best which has been put out in several years.

June 24 Stocks were decidedly heavy at the opening of to day's session, the short interest adopt ing a more aggressive attitude on the prospect of higher money rates for the balance of the month. General Mo- ! tors, which featured yesterday's trad-1 ing at an 8 point advance, soon for- j felted virtually all of its gain and lOBSefl Of 1 to 3 point were made by Studcbaki r. Marino preferred, American International. United Fruit, U. S. Steel, Crucible Steel, Baldwin! Locomotive. Com Products, Texas and' Pacific, Industrial Alcohol, Utah Cop per and the leading oils. The market displayed unexpected re cuperative power, sonn of the more, severe losses bring largely regained in the first hour. Later when rails j strengthened under lead of Pacifies. 1 Atchison, Reading and New York Cen tral, the rally extended to equipments,! rubbers and food shares. Covering Of short contracts was reported in ship pings and General Motors rebounded j almost five points. Oils made little' recovery, however, and steels contin ued under pressure, interest centered in mony conditions because of their direct hearing upon speculation. Call loans opened at sLx per cent. Popular stocks were subjected to greater unsettlement at midday. Oils, motors, shippings, leathers and tex- ! tiles made extreme losses of 3 to 8 points with rallies of 1 to 2 Selling was accompanied by reports that banks were calling loans, but money held at 6 p'r cent f CHICAGO GRAIN v . 4 CHICAGO, Juno 24 Weakness man ifested itself in the corn market to day, largely as a reeul of opinions that peace had been well discounted in ad vance Bt-.sid-: a harp setback which had taken place In hog quota tions tended to diminish the feeding value of corn. On the other hand, shorts who tried to cover on the de cline found offerings light. Opening prices, which ranged from to 1Z cents lower, with July $1 80 1 to 1.81 H and September 1 764 to 1.77, were followed by moderate rallies. Oats were off with corn. After op ening down to c advance, includ ing September at 70 to 71 cents, the market underwent a sag all around. Sympathy with the weakness of hogs and corn led to a fall in provis ions. Lard especially was without support. Subsequently favorable weather for the growing corn crop received no lice as an additional bearish actor. Liquidating sales by holders increased, and at one time September was down nearly 6 cents under yesterday's top The market closed nervous at 3 to 4 cents net decline, with Jul 1.799 to 180, September l,74s to 1.74 and December 1.52 to 151'".
