On the 8th of May, 1869, Mr. John Jaques, the EditOi', and Mr. T. Q. Webber, the able Business Manager, arrived from the capital, and, on the 11th of May, the first number of the Daily Telegraph was issued in Ogden City. But here we must correct an error in relation to part of the name of the journal. It j was not called the Ogden Daily Telegraph, but it retained the former name—viz.: Salt Lake Daily Telegraph, and some of the citizens of Ogden took umbrage at this, because they expected the proprietor of the paper would adopt the name of this city for his new venture. Mr. Odell became the Foreman of the establishment, and Mr. Hall the City Editor. Mr. Jaques had been appointed at a General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, held in Salt Lake City in April, to take a mission to England, and therefore occupied the editorial chair but for a brief period. He was succeeded by the late Mr. Edward L. Sloan, one of the founders and also Editor-in- Chief of the Salt Lake Herald. After a run of a few months the publication of the Telegraph was discontinued, and the proprietor removed the establishment back to the capital—and thus terminated Ogden's debut in journalism. Among the compositors who had worked on the Telegraph in this city were Mr. John G. Chambers, Mr. Orson H. Eggleston, and Mr. Reuben B. Eggleston; the last named gentleman still plies his vocation in the Ogden Herald office. For the remainder of the year the people of this city and county were without a newspaper. This condition of . things could, of necessity, be of but brief duration. The people must have a journal here—the necessities of the Burlock's Fine White and Colored Shirts at Marks', & Wotherspoon keeps the best Selected Stock of Buttons.

In December of 1869, a company of gentlemen united and organized, under the name of the "Ogden Junction Publishing Company;" and on January let, 1870, the first number of the Semi-Weekly Ogden Junction was issued, with Hon. F. D. Richards, Editor, C. W. Penrose, Esq., Associate Editor, Mr. Joseph Hall, j City Editor, and Mr. James McGaw, Business Manager of the new journal; with also the same foreman and a mini- ; her of the same compositors that worked on the Telegrapli. j On the retirement of Mr. Richards, Mr. Penrose became j the Editor-in-Chief The Junction gained a large and ex- j tensive circulation in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, ; &c. In the month of September, 1872, the issuing of the i Daily Junction was commenced. The Semi-Weekly was ! also continued. In 1877, the company sold out the es- | tablishment to Mr. Richard Ballantyne. Mr. Penrose removed to Salt Lake City and became the Editor of the Deseret News, and Mr. S. A. Kenner was engaged as Editor of the Junction. In this same year the Amateur, a literary magazine, was commenced, under the auspices and in the interests of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association. It was published bi-weekly. Its Editors and contributors were the members of the Association. At the close of the second volume it was discontinued. In 1878, Mr. Ballantyne sold the Junction to a com- pan}' of gentlemen in this city, who soon after enlarged the sheet and made it a morning journal; but subsequently changed the time (with changes of the railroad time tables) of publication to an evening paper again. In March of 1880, Mr. Leo Hpefeli became the Editor, and Mr. George G. Taylor, City Editor. These gentlemen continued in this capacity until February 14th, 1881, when that journal suspended.
