The new road, under the Federal Aid project, to be built the coming year, will be constructsd on a straight line through the city, according' to the commission, which means that it will go south from the Doughboy statute to the end of Main street, thence angling across to the Beaver river bridge, where it will reconnect with the old highway route. There has been much agitation the past year, since the highway commission had a number of routes surveyed through the city. It was the popular desire of the people to have the highway remain on the present route, turning at the Doughboy, thence two, blocks west and then south; When the plans were laid before the U. S. government, we are informed, the War department laid down the ultimatum that the route "designated straight south through the city, should constructed. It also ordered the "S" curve north of town be, destroyed through neglect, relics Mitt in years to come would form a livable historical reflection of the ,ott ter days of this part of the All that Is necessary to carry Tijate.

That is a terse description of "Foreign Devils," the new historical film drama at the Star Theater tonight and Saturday. Based on authentic details of one of the most senational episodes in modern history, the story gives the star the best opportunity he has had to show his wares since he began historical pictures starring in a little more than a year ago. As the American military attache to the legation at Peking,' McCoy has a chance to put over a lot of fun er before launching into the thrills, which come thick and fast as the plot develops. The story runs the length of the Boxer siege of the allied compounds during the uprising of little more than a quarter of a century ago, and even shows the organization of the, relief expedition which finally arrived at the Chinese capital and literally blasted the mobs of Boxers from in front of the barricades where, the Americans and Europeans had fought them back for many weeks. Claire Windsor has the featured feminine lead, and the cast includes film players. The many picture was directed by W. S. Van Dyke from an original story by Peter - well-know- n B.

Fill HAY, DECEMBER 21, 1928 VrU e Per Yer LOW TEMPERATURE AFTER OUR GA.ML AWARDED U. P. PREVAILS HERE WARDEN'S SCALP SCHOLARSHIP Game Club Makes Protest Against Change in Warden ? current rumor that an effort be made to replace Warden Cyrus Davis, of this place, owing to his political affiliations, brought forth a storm of protests from the sportsmen of . Beaver county. A meeting called by the Beaver County Fish & Game Club last Friday evening,' was largely attended, and an unanimous vote given on a resolution asking that Mr. Davis be retained In his present capacity. The resolution was signed by the officials of the club and forwarded to Governor Dern. Mr. Davis is one of the outstanding game wardens of the Btate in efficiency and is popular with the sportsmen who realize the large amount of good he has accomplished in the propagation of fish and game ini this section of the country. He has done his duty impartially in enforcing the game laws and worked untiringly for the best interest of game conservation of the state. Not only has Mr. Davis made one of the best wardens in the state, but his work at the fish hatchery at this He place, deserves commendation. has successfully operated the hatch ery, producing a high average of trout fry, and attending to the distribution of these fish in such a manner that the people of this county are today enjoying the best angling that has been known since the early days of native trout fishing. Mr. Davis was appointed, owing to his qualifications, under a democratic administration, although he has always been affiliated with the opposite political organization. Just why this demand for his removal by a few of the democratic at the present time, we cannot say, but if such is the case it is evident that a serious mistake and an injustice to the sportsmen is being made.

Mann, forest supervisor. The venison will be furnished only to state, federal and charitable institutions, it was decided. Both does and bucks will be killed. The deer are not in the best of condition, because the range has been badly overstocked for several years. Lack of range forcing the reduction also has caused domestic herd reductoin from 15,000 cattle and 8.000 sheep to 1,000 cattle and less than 2,000 sheep. These are grazed on ranges where there are few deer. Venison will be available to institutions for Christmas dinner. They will be required to pay only for transportation and dressing. Kai-ba- b Plans Prepared for the Beautification of City Park H. C. Healy and Edward Evershed, landscape artists of Salt Lake, have spent the past week in Beaver preparing plans for the beautification of the city park. The plans have been completed and were presented to" the Lions club for inspection at their wceMy lunch eon Monday. The club men.bcrs were enthusiastic over th plans. The city council expected to meet Wednesday night to pass on the plans, but owing to the absence of some of the members the meeting was postponed. These plans call for the removal of a few of the defective trees, but not enough of them will be removed to Impare the shade in the park. Mr. Healy gave a talk to the Lions, makthe ing recommendation covering proposed improvements, which include parking, walks, drives flowers, shrubbery, beautifying the old 2.00 stake house exterior, the building of a pool and fountain, all of which will make the park one of the beauty spots of the city. The estimated cost is around $800, but this would not include the labor, and other minor details, the total cost running in the neighborhood of $1,000. The city now has $300 in its treasury from its last year's budget, and a like amount can probably be added this year. Questions of raising additional funds will be taken up by the council.

The Seminary corner Christmas Spirit Christ said: "It is' better to give than receive." He did not only refer to the giving of the material things of life, but also the spiritual things as well. We should not only think of the presents .we wish to receive, but let our thoughts dwell on Christ and what we can give. .The celebration of Christmas began about 600 years A. D., in commemoration of the birth of the Saviour of the world, who gave tho gratest sacrifice of all His life. He died that we might live. As we are giving and receiving presents we should live again the past. Think of the long Journey the wise men made, to bring Christ, the King of the Jews, their gifts. They also made a sacrifice in the hardships they endured on that journey. Therefore should we, not also make some sacrifice In giving out presents. Let us not give in the hopo of receiving something in return, but give for the pleasure and Joy we get from, it. If we would all do this, Christmas would be enjoyed to a larger extent and carry a fuller meaning. |
