Show 1 Brigham City, Utah Surely one Salt Lake City newspaper aroused the wrath of the multitudes last Sunday when it related that the Promontory monument to the driving o the golden spike is sleeping under a blanket of weeds; that it is forgotten; that even natives have a hard time finding it. Perhaps we should jump on the writers neck and make him holler uncle in defense of our hallowed shrine that commemorates the marriage of the East and the West in a double ring, steel rail ceremony. But we are more inclined to eye him with pity and welcome him to the firy pit of criticism, for we too have sat in the sizzling frying pan for maligning Promontory. W$ periodically let slip from the unconscious section o,our brain that the monument is at Promontory Point. This is an unforgivable mistake. We have never been forgiven. For a writer to compose anything about Promontory is to tread up the back of a rattlesnake. There are so many misconceptions, so much misinformation and so many distorted facts about the place and the event in circulation, we are surprised more reporters arent whipped back into their caves by the handful of golden spike enthusiasts that do have clear, but unassembled, facts about it. The writer on the Salt Lake paper, though, was about as far off the beam as any weve ever seen. The spot is not sleeping under a blanket of weeds, but is actually bare of weeds. Most certainly the marker is not forgotten, for the past two years major celebrations have been held at the site. Wednesday, July 22. 1953 Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Barker had as their dinner guests last Sunday, the following people: Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Jensen and children; Mr. and Mrs. Leon Bywater, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bywater, and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Schneider.
