Show f PROVO MAY BECOME SCOOT CENTER OF i THREE The Coat! All-Rou- nd To Brave the Chilly Days v A meeting will be held here Sep- tember 5th with the representatives of the Boy Scout county councils of Utah, Wasatch and Juab counties, when an effort will be made to organize the three counties into one district with headquarters in Provo. A budget of about $8000 will be necessary and this amount will be alto the six school districts in lottedthree counties: Alpine, Provo, the Nebo, Wasatch. Tintic and Juab. It is proposed to name the new district Timpanogos. For the time being it will give service also to Duchesne, Daggett and Uintah counties until they are sufficiently organized in Boy Scout work to become a I separate district. NEIGHBORLY TIES ARE FIRMLY LINKED (Continued From Page 1.) and came to the description of the perfect valley, he was standing on the shores of the Utah lake watching the sun set on these glorious Wafeatch mountains Giving his opinion of the future of Springville, Spanish Fork and Provo Mr. Hinckley declared that these three cities will join in the hand of more generously than fellowship ever before. Preston G. Peterson, chairman of the state road commission, gave a comprehensive outline of the road work of this state. He said that Utah has 24,057.3 miles of roads. Of this there are 3148.5 miles of state roads, of which 174 miles are paved with concrete on the 7 per cent system, 7.5 miles are paved with a bitulithic on a concrete base and 17.5 miles are paved with bitulithic on a black base. The speaker told of the policy of state road commission to serve the entire state, without favor to any particular section. In conclusion he emphasized the value of advertising the resources of Utah county and the need of more work. A splendid musical program was carried out in whichthe Provo band, a ladie? chorus under the direction of Miss Dora Coffman of Springville, a string quartet from Spanish Fork, E. R. Williams, vocalist, and the audience, under the direction of W. C. Bradford, participated. Following the prgram a dance was given in the Springville Opera house.

It browses on the weeds that flourish on the sea floor. Its upper and lower jaws have become hardened into a sharp curved beak, which is just the tool required for lopping off tough seaweed. Each piece snipped off by the beak is passed into one of the two curious pouches which adorn the cheeks, and there it remains until the parrot fish feels that It has collected enough for a good meal. It then chews the cud by means of the splendid set of teeth, which nature has placed not in Its mouth, but in its throat. A A NEW YORK (Continued from Page One.) ; every resource our section of in available, whereas, of people utilizing of equal area we have but one million of population who are only beginning to uncover the great natural resources of that country. When Major Powell, in the early 70s made the first surveys under the direction of the government of the United States in this Utah section, he spoke of it as the Geologists ParaThis year the American Asdise. sociation of Engineers met in annual Beautiful Voiles, at, per yard. . one-ha- lf convention in Utah and visited Provo and its environs and other parts of Utah, and they spoke of it as the Engineers Eden. Before I mention the great njineral resources of this section, let m'e refer you again to the agricultural resources of my state. There are today in Utah 5,500,000 acres of thef very best land on the American continent under cultivation, but there are still available 17,000,(jfl0 acres of equally rich land susceptible of agricultural uses that await only the extensin of our irrigation systems and the advent of the population to till the same. There are today 29,000 farms for which thirty millions of dollars have been expended in the development of an irrigation system comprising 525 reservoirs, 6500 miles of canals and of 3000 miles "of lateral ditches. The annual yield from these farms is now upwards of $80,000,000, while the livestock industry of the state is now yielding over $75,000,000 annually. It might be news to many of you that our irrigation projects include hydroelectric power plants of the most approved type, which not only serve to furnish power for lifting and distributing waters to the farmers, but, also, serve the industrial power needs of the state. Such plants already developed are now generating and distributing over 70,000 brake horsepower throughout the state, but surveys of the water power sites yet available along the streams of Utah indicate more than 1,000,000 additional horsepwer to be harnessed and distributed as the industrial .needs of the state develop. One stream that pours into Utah valley, which has been impounded by the United States government, and is known as the Strawberry valley project, has reclaimed 30,000 acres in this valley, and offers 200,00 0 horsepower available along its course. It might be news to some of you that in Utah is the highest mountain range on the North American continent. Let me be explicit in this statement. There are mountain peaks the Rocky scattered throughout mountains that are higher than our highest peaks in Utah, but the Uinta range which meets the Wasatch at right angles in the very heart of Utah, is the highest mountain berange on the continent. Its base 4000 of an elevation at average gins feet above sea level, and Its score Of0 towering peaks rise Howards of feet. In this vast plateau rise the head waters of four mighty streams that furnish the irrigation systems of which I have spoken and offer the available horsepower to be generated by future hydroelectric stations that might be built to meet the demand of a growing industrialism to which we look forward.

Mind you, all these wonders and glories are within the natural boundries of the state of Utah, illustrating and glorifying resources for material wealth, of which I have spoken; and possessing all .these are the half million of citizens who constitute the population of Utah at the present time. ' all-th- These people comprise, 100,000 families happily housed in 90,000 homes, 60 per cent of which are owned by the people themselves, while the average percentage of home owners in the United States is a fraction over 4 5 per cent. The per capita wealth of the people of Utah is about $1590.00, which is $200 more than thg per capita wealth in the United States as a whole. , The people of Utah are not only home owning people, but they .are lovers of education. The first buildsettlements ing erected in thirty-fiv- e in Utah was in every Instance ' a school house, and today 5 6 per cent of all the taxes, state and local, are used for educational purposes. While the average birth rate in the United States is slightly more than 2 4 per thousand, the birth rate in Utah is 37. With the death rate in the United; States at 14.5 per thousand, the average death rate in Utah is only 9. With an average number of marriages in the United States of 97 per 10,000 of population, our average rate is 150, While the average divorce rate in the United States is 112 per 100,000, the rate in Utah is but 66. To facilitate closer contact, and to develop the industrial and material welfare of the state; Utah' has today more miles of hard surfaced highways in proportion to its population than any state in the Union. Now, I submit that I haye told you what to many is a surprising tald? and I admit that I have indulged in many superlatives,' but I hope that you will not question my statements, since they are all substantiated by official reports of state and, nation, direct reference to many of which I have here made. t I think you will grant me the claim that if our country is to end ire, if our people are to survive, i? our investments are to be safe, there is no place in the United States that offers more of promise and security than Utah. . ave-raR- e , SS33S Every Day is Bargain Day at the Provo Army & Navy Store Department We save cow- .can almost daily.
