We appreciate all of the planning and effort which so many people expend to keep this traditional festival alive and flourishing. One negative aspect of the 1974 celebration, however, is the decision of city officials not to subsidize carnival rides. Weve done it in past years, figured it was a financial break for the kids and larger families with limited income. slides. But we did get away on our vacation, the Missus and two younger members of our clan and yours truly. We headed out with no particular destination in mind, ended up the first evening on the Madison river in Montana, spent the next day in the quake area near Hebgen lake and West Yellowstone, and revisited Old Faithful in Yellowstone park. The stop at Old Faithful was something I vowed last year never to prepared by the chamber merce, Box Elder county will contribute $1,500 toward meeting the of com- projected $5,729.59 celebration expense.

September 10, 1974 r A great deal of concern has been expressed recently about the rising waters of the Great Salt Lake. Roads are being washed out; dikes have been breached; resort areas have been inundated; waterfowl nesting ground have washed over, along with other ecological and economic damage, both great and small. The monitary figures of damage has been estimated, by some, to be over 300 million dollars. The result of this damage has been: abandonment of property and facilities, raising dflces and protective fills, talk of cutting openings in the railroad causeway, law suits, and, even exploring plans to lower the lake by pumping some of its water into another basin miles away. One way of relieving the strain on all concerned seems to have been overlooked, and that is: impounding the heavy reservoirs. One runoff waters of the Bear river in such reservoir could be located just south of Plymouth on the Malad river. This is a dam and reservoir that has been called feasible in research done by the Bureau of Reclamation. The waters of the Bear river would be diverted a few miles from Cutler dam to the Plymouth reservoir. This reservoir about 460,000 could hold an enormous amount of water acre feet. It just might be enough water to take the strain off the facilities in trouble on the Salt lake. Money spent here should certainly be more effective than constantly building and raising dikes or pumping water out of the lake to nowhere. Impounding water at Plymouth would do more than take some pressure off the Salt lake. This reservoir would be full of fresh water that could irrigate 20 to 40 thousand (or more) acres. The game bird sanctuary would have ample water to fill and flush ponds in the late summer and early fall. The mineral processing companies would have an assured supply of fresh water to wash their pumps and pipelines and flush their ponds. There would certainly be ample water for municipal and industrial facilities in our area. The potential for recreation is as great as ones imagination. I feel that a fraction of the money being spent, (and that measures may be spent) on some of these fruitless stop-ga- p on the Great Salt lake, could build the facilities needed to divert and impound the water behind the Plymouth dam.

I The Missus offered me two alternatives either get a cabin and stay at Old Faithful or take off my clothes and run through a prickly patch. I had my second sock off before she could convince me it was just a joke. We left Old Faithful post haste. And where did we finally spend the night? In a tent cabin at Colter Bay on Jackson lake. Theres one thing about this place.

NOW THIS period of inflationary squeeze, the city council has chosen to turn thumbs down on the unique feature. And why? Primarily because one member of the council figured the carnival owner wasnt living up to his end of the contract. As he told us, the City of Fun charged the same for rides at Peach Days as it did at the Box Elder County fair last year. And the county wasnt paying any subsidy. We cant say whether this was the case or not. However, if it was, shouldnt the city official have done something about it upon discovering the situation?
