Show VOL. For Orvin Tot g. men and Wer.dail Taylor, two young Sulina boys, had an experience the early days of this week that neatly cost them their lives and ottly for the timely arrival of help and medical aid the youths stood a fair chance of checking in. Their experience happened when they were returning ftom an outingto the mountains and after they had eaten some peas which they had to stay the pangs of hunger. Soon after they had eaten their lunch they were stricken with ptomaine poisoning and their suffering became so intense that they were unable to summon help. Darkness had started and both lads had given up in despair. Fortunately', some other boys chanced by and found both Torgensen and Taylor nearly in the last throes of death. Men were summoned and a messenger was hastened to the ranger station from which point Dr. Merrill was advised of the predicament of the poisoned boys. A record run was made by Dr. Merrill and soon after his arrival medical aid was given and soon the youthful mountaineers were partially relieved from their awful sufferings. The many friends of Orin and Wen-da- ll will be glad to know that they are both out of danger and at last reports they were recuperating at the Brown ranch.

Elaborate plans are being made by many of the local fishermen to be in the field ready for the opening day This eventful Sunday, June 15. time has been the sole topic of discussion for- the past two weeks, and scouts have been sent out to investigate this and that stream, or a lake or some favorite spot where the festive speckled beauties are laying in wait to take a snap at the fly or fat worm. Several parties have been arranged for many days outing from here. Fishlake will draw many and parties will leave for Piute county where it is said the. fishing is prime. The many streams nearby will also have their quota and coming as it does on Sunday, the opening of the fishing season will see a mighty influx of sportsmen wending their way to their favorite streams. There are, however, many things to be considered by the honest angler. His license must be of the 1924 vintage and must be duly signed. The hours for starting and stopping are given and above all the amount of the catch is plain. If these are complied with, and you happen to be lucky those left at home and eager for a mess of the luscious trout may not meet disappointment.

Oscar Anderson received word that he had been appointed to fill the vacancy being made by the expiration of the term held by Mrs. Olga McKenna. Mr. Anderson was officially notified that he had been named by Congressman Don C. Colton, the president making the appointment. Inasmuch as the senate has adjourned it will be some time, however, before the nomination is confirmed. The contest for the office in Salina was keen, many candidates having entered to take the required examination. The several candidates were up in the air" for many weeks, awaiting the final returns of the examinations which were held at Richfield. And, too, politics played an important part, the matter finally being turned over to the Republican central committee for recommendations. Mr. Anderson has assumed the role as postmaster and is being drilled into the intricacies of the business. The appointment meets with the approval of the citizens generally and it will only be a matter of a very short time until Mr. Anderson will have the system lined up in a systematic way. During her reign as postmaster, Mrs. Olga McKenna has given splendid service. She with her able assistant, Mrs. Stella Peterson, has proved capable and accommodating in every way. Mrs. McKenna, just as soon as some minor adjustments are made and the official transfer completed, will leave for Los Angeles, where she will join Mr. McKenna. They will make their permanent residence at the Southern California al IMPORTANT PROPER SPACING IN THINNING SUGAR BEETS Thinning beets is one of the most laborous and expensive and at the same time one of the most important culture. If operations of sugar-bethe beets are left too close together they are too small to give a maximum yield though the sugar content is generally good. If they are left too far fort et Active work in developing the ina Canyon Coal companys property was begun last Monday when miners started sinking the working shaft. There will be no delay in carrying out this plan and it is proposed to rush the just as quickly as possible. The shaft will be sunk to a good depth before any attempt is made to do any crosscutting. When sufficient depth has been obtained crosscutting the veins and running the necessary air tunnels as a safety guard will be carried out. Nothing definite as yet has been given out as to when extraction of coal will be commenced but from the program mapped out it is thought that it will only be a matter of a few months until regular shipments from the mine will be started. The bunk house, the installation of huge boiler and other suiface buildings have been completed and everything is now in shape to carry on an aggressive campaign of development. In addition to the bunk houses for the mine workers, which by the way are modern and equipped with all conveniences, other buildings have been erected and comfortable quarters have now been provided for all.

Coolidge Convention Choice Fisliermen Plan ( JUNE 13, 1924 SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, 7. 4 Hand bills and other legitimate information that will aid travelers, tourists and anyone seeking a short and direct route when making a transcontinental trip, will be served to all when they reach a point at Cove Fort and are in doubt as to which route to take to find the best roads and make the best possible time. This action has een decided upon after the committee, consisting of Mayor Barnard, Max Cohen and Rex Barnard made their visit to Cove Fort last week. This committee was named by the Salina Lions club and it was instructed to make a thorough investigation as to why the Salina canyon route was being discriminated against. The printed information which will be passed out will tell, without exaggeration, the shortest route from Cove Fort to Denver, Colorado. It will give the exact condition of the roads Sevier county and out through through Salina canyon. In addition a lurge sign board, meeting the requirements of the edicts of the state road commission, will be erected. On this board tourists will be advised where ad. the proper information can be The sign board is to be 'erected by members of the Commercial club of Richfield.

All of us are for boosting Utah and when the whole state is boosted it is a moral certainty that Salt Lake benefits more than anyone else. If we will all work in harmony and invite and instruct the travelers correctly we will have more visitors.

The Salina aseball team will go to Marysvale next Sunday, and if the dope sheet has been correctly tabulated the boys from the mining camp will get a trouncing that will make them think they have been playing with real leaguers.
