The freeway, presently under construction, swings west and bypasses Kanosh by about 24 miles. Nearest access to the town is six miles north at Meadow, or eight miles south at the mouth of or Bakers Canyon. Deseret News May 15, 1972 Residents of Kanosh can take a cue from the following fable which recently came to our attention. It concerns a town in one of our neighboring states which, for a number of months, faced a similar threat. The community of Caged Cougar was named for its biggest attraction, advertised miles in advance. And since it was located seemingly in the middle of nowhere, the town languished for many years as a picturesque stop', for Eastern tourists and haunt for the local 18-pa- ge a petition was signed. But even with 100 percent support, the state highway department was staged Woodstock West with resounding success. Not success of the financial kind they just about broke even but success in. demonstrating the need for on and offramps. They were so successful, a in fact, that they got still unimpressed. We will, however, let you have your exit if you can raise the money to pay for it, one of the commissioners said. Asked for an estimate, he replied, Oh, around $500,000. And added, off the record, Thatll fix em. It looked like curtains for Caged Cougar until an enterprising young gas station attendant named Jeremy Colter came up with the idea of staging a rock festival in Dance Hall Valley a mile or so north of town. cloverleaf. Today, Caged Cougar shines like a jewel in the desert. Sheep on the overgrown graze cloverleaf (We aint greedy, Mayor Bright explains) while the on-.aofframps carry modern American explorers to their first close-u- p view of real wildlife. Jeremy Colter still runs the gas station, now with the help of his wife, who he met the weekend of the festival, and their daughter Dandelion. nd And, since the county commission hadnt even heard of rock festivals, let alone put any restrictions on them, Caged Cougar course, we are sorry about any problems which may have arisen from the festival, Bright says, referring to the six people killed when a pack of motorcycle outlaws became uncivil. But the, exit is named in their memories. Of . cowboys. Then the state highway department announced plans to build a freeway which, even though it went one mile south of Caged Cougar, would not have an exit for the town because sufficient need had not been demonstrated. Wardell Bright Mayor town a called immediately 40 of all meeting attended by Caged Cougars citizens, where - just a' little clarification of language. Like that part about tripartite power steering.

Well, seeing were not exactly the legal owners. . You mean to tell me, shouted Mr. Hanoy, That youve been trying to sell me a car you dont even own? Now, now, Mr. Hanoy, theres no need to get excited, said Henry soothingly. Im sure it will all work out. After all, if you cant trust Honest Dick, who can you trust? But, unfortunately, Mr. Hanoy had already slammed down the receiver. Well,anyone whos been through a similar experience can predict the outcome. Either you tear up the contract into teensy little pieces, muttering curses, or you up the ante and go through with the deal, feeling rooked and smookered and muttering curses.

Of course, it doesnt have a white, two-dosynchromesh political settlement. . Its just the model for you, Mr. Hanoy, said Henry. Lookut that automatic withdrawal system, that tripartite power steering, those guaranteed free elections. . I bought a 54 French model once with guaranteed free elections, said Mr. Hanoy suspiciously. It fell apart before I hardly got it home and nobody ever made good.' Youre not dealing with those tricky Frenchmen now, said Henry with dignity. Youre dealing with Honest Dick. Look, Im going to make you an offer you can't refuse.

Naturally, Honest Dick, himself, was called in to look the deal over. Congratulations, Mr. Hanoy, he said, after reading all the fine print. You certainly got yourself a fine bargain there. I dont see any reason we cant have everything signed and delivered by next Tuesday or October 31 at the very latest.-SMr. Hanoy went home and told everybody hed bought himself a used Ceasefire Eight. While he was somewhat uneasy about it, all his friends said he was doing the right thing. ' Then he got a call from Henry. Everything all right? asked Mr. Hanoy anxiously.
