In our rummage for the lost files we discovered a copy of the "Midvale Messenger," dated March 19, 1921-nearly 24 years ago. Dan M Clark was the editor and pub~ Jisher of this sprightly sheet, and in its columns appear such news items as the following: "Last Sunday, Clyde and Dewey Canning, in company with Ira Dern and Bert Stephenson of Salt Lake, drove to Pelican Point on Utah lake for a fishing trip."
