The menu consisted of fried spring chicken, new potatoes, new peas, with grated carrot sauce, hot rolls, pickles, onions, raddishes, strawberry short cake and coffee. The banquet and reception had been arranged for the governor and his party and following the long trip from Salt Lake to Salina justice was done by the visitors and other guests. Mayor C. Leo Merrill gave a brief welcome address and bade the visitors welcome to Salina as the guests of the local Lions club. O. G. Nielson presided, and aided by H. E. Lewis, general manager for the and Sevier Valley coal company, of the Salina Lions, Reclub, acted as toastmaster. sponses were made by Governor Dem, H. H. Blood, W. J. Parker, Preston Peterson, F. E. B. Daude, Hon. S. M. Jorgensen, Abe Hansen, H. H. Peterson, C. A. White, H. E. Lewis and others. The talks were brief and were aimed at the necessity of highways and and the further development of the big industries for Southern Utah. Governor Dem, who gave the principal banquet talk, declared he would not commit himself on the road situation at this time, but thought the possibilities for building a greater Southern Utah, and particularly around Salina, was ecouragingly great. The jobbers and wholesalers of Salt Lake, naturally want a greater territory ht nt developed and no better place could be found than lending aid in the building of better highways. CONVENTION BIG SUCCESS. The Utah Bankers convention, held week-en- d was one of the best and most successful held for some time, according to II. B. at Ogden last Crandall, cashier for the First State Bank of Salina, who returned the first of the week from the convention city. The convention was featured with splendid addresses on the important banking issues as pertains to the state and some eloquence was heard from prominent bankers from all parts of the state.

In 1859 the family .went to Salt Lake, crossing the plains with 1 a hand cart company. A few years later they moved to Spring City, where they lived until the hostile Indians drove .the; white settlers out and they were contpelled to leave their homes and. until the call came to resettle Spring j City, they lived at Ephraim. ; November 6, 1871, he married Miss Josephine Anderson of Spring City; where they lived and where Mr. Jensen stood guard during the Black; Hawk war.

It is a delight to see the spirit of the two counties, with friendship sealed and the spirit of cooperation predominating for 'the greater development of Southern Utah, said Governor Dern. You citizens of this section are endeavoring to expand the states industries and you are to be commended. The big centers, like Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo, will .unquestionably be benefitted by the development of the outside districts, for the reason that capital will be brought to the state, attracted and payrolls established, and those of the larger centers should realize this and support every new industrial movement. The is working out road commission problems and the many complications associated with the Salina canyon project, having three agencies to contend with, will have to come sooner or later. When the railroad matters are settled and just as soon as funds are available, it is almost a certainty that you folks will get consideration. Hon. S. M. Jorgensen, who accompanied the governor on the canyon trip and met with the Emery county delegation, urged action by the state road commission for relief in the canyon highway. Mr. Jorgensen, realizing the lack of funds at ' this time, suggested that by raising the gasoline tax from three and a half cents to; five cents per gallon, would expand the road maintenance fund and sooner or later create a surplus. While no definite answer was given at this time as to the future policy of the state road commission relative to providing a safe highway through Salina canyon, it was estimated that the matter would be threshed out as soon as possible and that as quickly as funds were available the canyon highway, would get immediate consideration. The trip through the canyon proved impressive to the Salt Lake officials. Frequent stops were made and a close study given to points where" the railroad alignment crosses the highway. It was found that in twelve miles there are twenty-twsuch crossings and the operation of the railroad would be hazardous to the travelers who pass through the canyon yearly. The fact too, vas noted and commented on, that Salina canyon was the only pass in the Wasatch range, that is open the year round.

The ores displayed at the banque Saturday attracted my attention and I must say that the salt, coal an mineral are something that w'l eventually put Salina on the man The big salt plant, being operated by the Great Western Salt company also attracted the eye of Governo Dern. Through the courtesy of Frank Thurston, general superintendent, Governor and Mrs.' Dern were taken through the mill and to the big salt deposits, where millions of tons of fine salt are exposed. The minature salt lake, also proved an attraction to the distinguished visitors. Governor Dern, before leaving, declared that he would like very much to again visit the district and inspect other features which he was unable to visit because of lack of . time. |
