Littlefield, formerly editor and proprietor of the Post, Elko, Nevada. Quite a number of the leading firms in Ogden gave to the enterprise considerable subscription and advertising patronage, with the understanding that the policy of the journal would be noninterference. But the first number contained a vigorous and pronounced attack on the religious tenets of the majority of the citizens, so that they withdrew their patronage and, of course, the institution suffered in consequence. Subsequently Mr. Littlefield sold out to a company, he continuing to act as business manager. Instead of improving, however, the tone of the paper continued to grow more abusive, its own friends became disgusted, and the sheet was threatened with collapse. Recently the Pilot changed hands, and with the change came also a change in temper. Its tone under the new regime is courteous and conciliatory. Mr. Wm. M. Thompson is the Business Manager. Thus it will be discovered that quite a number of newspapers have found their birth and demise in Ogden City. After the suspension of the Ogden Junction, the demise of this journal left the majority of the citizens of Ogden, for more than two months, minus an organ to represent their interests, or to defend themselves against the vituperative attacks of an abusive press. This was a desideratum that was severely felt by the citizens of all Weber County, and they determined to supply this want. On the 9th of February, 1881, a number of prominent citizens met at the residence of Hon. D. II. Peery, in this city, to take the initial steps for the organization of the Ogden Herald Publishing Company. Mr. Peery was elected chairman and Mr. Joseph Hall secretaiy. The object of the meeting was thoroughly discussed and a temporary *€- 3i Hats and Caps, Boots and Shoes at A, KUHN & BRO.

At an adjourned meeting held in the City Hall, February 19th, a perma- ' nent organization was completed, with the above named \ gentlemen as officers of the company. An Executive Committee and Board of Directors were also elected. The j books were opened at once and stock was subscribed. New presses, type, etc., were purchased, and, on the 2nd of May, 1881, the first number of the Ogden Daily Herald (evening issue) was issued, with Mr. John Nicholson as Editor, Leo Harfeli City Editor, Joseph Hall as Agent and Traveling Correspondent, E.H.Anderson Business Manager, and Alma D. Chambers, Foreman. Mr. Hall traveled in the interests of this journal in Western Wyoming, Eastern and Northern Utah, Idaho, Montana to the terminus of the Utah & Northern Railroad, to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other places, securing subscription and advertising patronage and writing up for publication in the Herald whatever appeared of interest in the places he visited. In October 1881, Mr. Nicholson retired from the editorial chair of the Herald and removed to Salt Lake City, where he took a position on the editorial staff of the Deseret News. The present Editors of the Herald are Joseph Hall and Leo Hsefeli Esqs. The Ogden Herald is devoted to the advocacy of the constitutional, religious, civil, political, and local rights of the whole community, regardless of race, color, or creed.
