40 Splendid Assortment of Drugs, Medicines, etc., at DRIVER'S. THE PRESS. The "Ogden Junction" was first issued on the 1st of January, 1870, as a semi-weekly, by a stock company called "The Ogden Publishing Company," composed of influential citizens. Hon. F. D. Richards was Editor, and C. W. Penrose, Esq., assistant Editor, but after a short time the latter gentleman became Editor-in-chief. The paper prospered, and in September. 1872, the publication of the Daily "Junction," in connection with the Semi-weekly, was com¬menced, both these editions having been continuously and uninter¬ruptedly issued up to the present time. In May, 1877, the entire establishment and all its business were purchased by Richard Ballantyne, Esq., of Ogden, the present pro¬prietor. No changes were made in the working force excepting the editorship, to which Mr. S. A, Kenner, of Salt Lake City, succeeded. The policy of the paper has been substantially the same from the be¬ginning until now—independent on all public questions, but prompt to champion or defend the tenets of the Church under whose aus¬pices it was created. The daily is taken by nearly every family in Ogden; and the semi-weekly has a very large circulation throughout northern Utah—larger than that of all other papers combined. The price of the former is $8 per annum; of the latter $4. The "Ogden Freeman," after having been published under the name of "The Frontier Index," in the ten terminal towns of the Union Pacific Railway, during the construction of the road, was destroyed by an enraged mob, at Bear River City, Nov. 20th, 1868, because, as is claimed by the proprietors, it was the me¬dium which built up successively, Brownsville, Green River City and Bear River City, while a land ring was endeavoring to sell lots for rival towns at Benton, Bryan and Evanston. The office was reduced to ashes, while its proprietors were work¬ing for the interests of western people. About three years ago its semi-weekly edition was revived here under the title of "The Ogden Freeman." The business has been vigorously pushed by Mr. and Mrs. Legh R. Freeman, until the circulation is stated to have reached 6,950, and through the energies of traveling canvassers we DRIVER & SON Keep the Best Stock of Wines, Liqnors, Cigars, etc. 41 H.C.
