The Harvest of Grain and Polygamy A Review of Ogden's Progress. t ContapondenceolTheBee. r OQDEN , Utah , December 8. Thh being so near the close of the year 1880 , all newspaper men are busily engaged in making footings of the ' of publishing year's progress for the purpose lishing to the world , in a concise form , what has been done , what Important business transacted , the extent of mining developments and the value of new improvements made in the lead ing towns and cities. No place is this feature of newspaper enterpriee bet ter observed than throughout the west , and I pttsuma this year's showing - ing will be as fully satisfactory as any , if not better than former years. That of the city of Ogden , I am sure , will excel any former year. The cost , number and style of new buildings exhibit a healihy state of improve ment * , while business interests were never so extensive. Since the census enumeration last June , fully 500 per sons have increased our then popu lation of six thousand , and this is "being augumented by daily arrivals. The demand for housesis far in ex cess of the supply , while our hotels cannot accommodate all who apply At this time , one of our most presiiu needs is that of a large first class hotel , and this need is so well under stood that we are confident that an other spason will see the erection of & such an institution. Our city official ! ! have awikened to the wants of our city and bate beeu active in improv ing our streets , building needed brid ges and taking the initiatory atopa for a complete system of water vorks. How soon wo will be supplied with such works depends much upon cer tain legal questions itivclving titse to water rites. If these legal pointb are settled in faror of the water works company , tbo supply of pure cool water will bj abundant , ai.d the fall or pressure sure can bo at almost any degree re quired , ss the streams ara locitad hundreds of feet above the city. The city council have lately ccn traded with the Brush Electric Liyht company , and it is proposed to have the city lighted by the 1st of January. , The plan contemplates an iron tower - * 150 feet high , placed at a central point of the city and on an elevation forty feet above the business portion. The light at the top of this tower is to be ample for illuminating a tpacu ont mile in diameter , and IB to cott $4 OOC per annum. Six days' time is allowed for testing the light , and the contract is for five years. Stores will bo light ed at an expense of about § 130 per an- nnm , which is cheper ju.d far safei than by the present pian of using coa oil. oil.Tho The introduction of the tel phont exchange has become eo popuhr wit ! two month's use that now instrument ! are being put iu almost daily , and ilu number in use lua reached ovui 80ud the lines are boirg extended t < North Ogden , seven niiltv , anil at on early date will be extended thirly-afo miles , to Salt Lake City , to conned with an exchange which is to bo cm atructed thoro.

The Russians are particularly charmed vrith the democratic maunora of Americans. Theae appeal to a characteristic national trait of the Russians themselves. They despise from the bottom of their hearts all pretension , arrogance and walking on stilts. That is why the Russians stretca friendly hands to the people across the ocean , ia spite of the abyss that lies between their government and that of the union. My personal experience is thab American citizens in general , and American business men in p rtculi\r , are warmly welcomed in Russia. On the pirt of the Czar's government there is not the least fear that hey will inoculate the Russians with re publicanism. Onca 1 asked o colonel of gendarmes whether he had nny sip- prehension of dangerous resulU irom the close relations of the Russians mid the Americans. "Not the least , " he answered , promptly , "Your" citizuns are too sensible and practical to be dangerous to our tioverntnent. To imagine a practical Yankee indulging iu theorizing with the Russians would bu to suppose the moit improbable of all improbable things. " Thu Russian capitalists and busi ness men in general are apparently glad to have Americans come nere , and closely observe their waya of do ing business. They prefer to invite American engineers to Russia instead of sending their engineers to ntudy in America. It appears that the work done huro by Yankee engineers has continued the high opinion which the Russians had formed of the. " before hand. The grain elevators built b them in seine Russian ports , the bor ing for petroleum in the Caucasaus , and some of their miiiingoxperiments satisfied the highest expectations of the Russians. American agricultural m.i- chines and implements , sewing ma chines , iron stoves , rubber goods , canned fruits and miny other articles hro in full demand ptery where in this country , and I have frequently heard here.tho question , "Why don't the Americans coma hero to make all tnese things for ua ? They would savt the expeuto of transportation , and would be sure ti > sell their jjoods. " In proof of this last assertion Russians point to the great and prosperous factor ? of St. Petersburg operated by the Russian-American rubber com pany. Thi * sungestion of an invcs m oi American capital in Russian manufac ture aud trade seemed to me a very interesting one , and I wanted to get opinions about it. A Russian friend introdnccd me to the director of the department of manufacture and trade. I asked his excellency whether he would advise American manufacturer ! o come to Russia and engage in buai' ness. "Most heartily , " ho answered , "thouch I don't believe that at pro eent your manufacturers can bo in duced to leave their country of plentj for one that m afflicted with yc troubles. By and by , when the security of businesi liero is ii.sured beyond any doubt there will be opened an immense menso field for Yankee enterprise skill and capital , aud they cannot bi beiren here by any foreign competi tors , for these rea-una : They are oui friends , and that no other uatior can boast of. The general charac'ei of America is very anal ngous to that of our country. Om Caucasus yields us petroleum , and thi Don valley gives us coal and anthra cite like Pennsylvania ; our middle provinces yield gram aa abundant ! ; a * the western states of the union , and tha treasures of the Ural nioun tv'ns can be fairly compared witl those of California and Colorado , This is a very important points foi the fxpt-rionce of Americans , acquired at grett txponse , can be fully anc profitably employed here in Russia , Wo have great natural wealth , wilt no capital aud no skill ; them tin Americans have in superabundance There csn be no politics ! trouble between tween the two countries to Interrup our buMiie's relations. The Yankeei are very skilful teachers , as Is show ; by their perfect absorption and assimi lation of an irnmeuso and heterogene ous immigration : our history showi that we are diligent and docile pu pllg. Bring the Yankee teacher anc t'te Rnseian pupils together , and yet will eeo'urprising results. " Prince 0. is one of the largest land owncre in Russia. He employs i number of German agriculturists ti look after hia property over aixt ; thousand acres on the Volga. I calle ! ou him and asked whether he wonlt like to replace hi Germans with Am ericans. "Only let me have aoin practical American fsrmers , " said th prince , "and I will not employ any body else. But the trouble is. tha your farmers seem to be perfectly satis fiedftt homo , and do not care to mak roubl.8 and imperials so long as the ; are picketing dollars. I think i would pay American manufacturers o agricultural machines and implement to tend over here , say one hundrei skilled farmers. They would readil ; find employment with our large laud owners , and would be able to demonstrate strato the fall value of American fare machines. Undoubtedly this wouli increase the demand for the machine more rapidly than advertisements , ox hibitlons or agents. Russia is preeminently eminently a farming country , and ho prosperity depends wholly on he cropt. Yet we do our farming on i prehistoric plan. Now the crisis ha come , and it puts a grave question before fore us. Either wo must apply al the modern Improvements in agrfcul ture to our land , or we must bo pre parad to be cnt off from the clvilizet world. What a chance there is fo the enterprising Yankee to come ti us , to stir us up , to show us how ti nandle these machines , and to creati an immense market for their owi wves. Our misfortune is that ou educated men become functionaries parts and parcels of the complicate * and rickary machinery called bureau > -c acy , or elan become its bitter ene mies , and so the country at large i leftfdtuxnt intelligent business men hence wo have to borrow them fron abroad. I need not tell you that the Yankees are especial'y welcome here. " Uncle Sam'a boys lending their shoulders Ho push Ivan Ivauovitoh's n a < * on aloti ! what a funny r nd un ique scene it would be. But , if it comes to that , I have a shrewd sus picion that the autocrat of all the Russias will not stay long on top of the wagon. That is a point on which I disagree with my friend , the colonel of gendarmes. The Season.

Whisky and the traders at outposts have been the fruitful causes of trouble in the past. The whple nation will approve r.nd second ( he efforts to give the Indian fail treatment. The school sup rintendent of Co lumbus , Ohio , does well In arglnf that less money be spent in brick and mortar and in the bjsiness depart ments of public education , and more upon the department of instruction. He holds , and wisely , that the num ber of teachers in all the cities and large towns should bo increased one- third. When the people , he adds , are willing to bear the expense of em ploying the beat teachers , the nnmbei of whoso pupils shall be limited tc twenty , or at least thirty , there will bo an immeasurable gain in develop ment , learning and efficiency over what is no r obtained in the present crowded cond'tion of the sonools. Miss M. Parloa , of Boston , ia doing a good work in teaching the yonnc women of the E-wt how to make pud dings and putties. She has just opened a class at LaSalle seminary , Auburndale , Mass. Let the "girls oi Massachusetts learn how to cook well , and they can come West with profit to themselves and pleasure to our young men.

Comj West , Miss Parloa ! A great many young men in these days excuse themselves from attempt ing to get a finished education on the ground that they are not rich and have no influential and rich relations to aid them. Dr. Prince give * to such some good advice , He says : "The WAV of the world now is to look about and see who will help you to get it. That is not the right way. Look about and see what you can do to help yourself. Grind your own ax. Support yourself by your own indus try , and earn your bre&d vhile you improve the odds and ends of time in hard study. When you get something ahead , use it to support yourself while you learn. Ten thou sand men are now serving their gen eration with usefulness and honor who never asked anybody to grind an ax for them. " No young man with good health and strong arms should offer any such excuse. If he ia made of the riyht metal , the clear ring will be heard. It is not the sons of rich rne who to-day fill the largest places and are laying the world under the greatest debt of gratitude , but sons of the poor , who have carved their own fortunes and conquered amid , the greatest adversities and discourage- menta IMPIETIES.
