Boulder Canyon is situated 1S5 miles below the Grand Canyon and is m that section of the river that forms the boundary line between Arizona and Nevada. According to plans already prepared Utah Has Wonderful Woman in Washington " A From the May number of the National Republic wc learn that Utah has a representative in Washington whose name does not appear in the congressional directory, although the name of her husband does. This representative is Nancy A. Lcathcrwood, wife of Congressman Elmer O. The story of Utah, as told by Mrs. Leatherwood, contains more interesting facts than any piece of publicity we have ever read. It is lust the character of publicity that Utah is in need of, and will do this state a world of good. A portion of the story is produced herewith: Utah National Storehouse In the heart of the Rocky mountains is the state of Utah. It fs a land of most lofty, rugged peaks, snow-cappof the year. A land with horning, wind-swedeserts, of fertile, sheltered valleys, of glacier fed lakes and Iirimeval forests. Many of the hold traditions of an age when they were united in a n sea.

It will be the world's largest dam and will be twice as high as the largest dam now in existence. Acting on the recommendation of Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, authors of pending Boulder Dam legislation have written into the bill a provision which specifies that the government is not to expend a single dollar on the project until the Interior Department has received from private and public agencies in the Southwest sufficient contracts for the sale of , water and hydro-electri- c power rights to guarantee the return of all money expended on the dam plus interest. Construction of Boulder Dam will provide a site for the development of a million horsepower of c energy, according to government engineers. Legislation providing for Boulder Dam'hfs been favorably passed upon by the house committee on reclamation and is scheduled to come on the floor of the Horn:? for action the latter part of March it has been announced by Congressman Addison T.

Bird island is the nesting grounds of thousqpds of water fowls. Only a glance at Utah's1 mining history and the United States geological reports is necessary to demonstrate that the state is a land of promise and a storehouse. In the past fifty years Utahs mines have produced $2,000,-000,0worth of ore. The metal mines alone are producing more than one and a fourth million dollars per week, and her mineral resources have scarcely been scratched. In 1926 Utah was first in silver, of the producing almost output . forfa the United States. She was second m lead, with almost a fifth ofa the lead mined in this country; third in copper and sixth in gold. Iler precious metal industry alone paid $15,000,000 in dividends. From these facts it is scant wonder that the citizens prefer shiny coins to paper On January 4, 1808, Utah was admitted to the Union as tho forty-fift-h state. It is part of the land acquired from Mexico and was the center of the old state of Deseret, organized in 1849. It was named for the Ute Indians. Utah means In the mountain tops." The aptness of the name is appreciated when one realizes that the states mean altitude is 1,800 feet above sea level. It is the third high- 00 est state. The valleys are so protected that even at this great altitude the northern part of the state has a mild climate, while the southern is growing figs and almonds. Much snow falls xin the mountains, providing water for irrigation. Nevertheless Utah is a land of blue skies and sunshine. The action of the elements throughout the ages have chiseled from the mountains some of nature's most sublime wonders, but cyclones never visit the state. Electric storms in the valleys are rare.

We have joined the Gardner dissaid Cur organization, tributing Brown after a thorough' survey o:r our requirements and facilities, which led both the Gardner people and ourselves to feel assured that we are bringing a splendid car to the people o: Ogden. They manufacture' only eight cylinder cars in three series. Each series is designated by the numbers 75, 85 and 05, the larges having 115 horsepower. The cars are beautifully designed and are in the most attractive colors. The motor used in series 95 models is said to be the most powerful use in any American stock car. With a bore of 3 V inches and a stroke o 4 Vi inches, this motor develops 115 horsepower. This tremendous power has been accomplished by duplex manifolding and a duplex carburetor, larger valve ports and many other refinements of this character. Longer Eohnalite pistons and Duraluminum rods are used. There is an air cleaner, an oil purolator and a gasoline strainer to keep out injurious foreign substances. Even more brilliant performance is made possible by this motor. Not only will it exceed all previous Gardners in acceleration and hill ability, bu; its top speed is said to be 10 to lli miles an hour greater than that achieved by any of its predecessors. This has been accomplished without affecting the unusual gasoline economy for which Gardner has long been famous. The chassis is protected by the au tomatic centralized system of chassis lubrication which was introduced by Gardner last year and proved so successful and so convenient for the owp-Th- e er. enclosed interior ex brakes introduced by Gardner several years ago are used on al series 83 and series 95 models, anc these are hydraulically operated. Series 85 The series 85 motor has a bore of 2 inches and a stroke of 4 inches and develops an unusual amount of power for its size.

The companies build club houses, hotels and amusement hails; aids churches, parks and playgrounds. Agriculture is an important indusof the farms are try. Three-fourtoperated by their owners. Only about lf nine and per cegt of the states area is in agriculture. Utah is the home of Anglo-Saxo- n irrigation. and irrigation will always be a vital factor in Utah agriculture. Irrigation passed through three stages. First the pioneers dug ditches and conducted water from the streams to the farms. Later companies were formed which built irrigation systems and sold water rights. The the federal government financed larger projects and taxed the irrigated lands to for the project. Comparatively, Eay has received very little federal aid in reclamation. Private capital and enterprise have largely developed her irrigation. There are now five hundred reservoirs and about nine thousand miles cf canals for irrigation in the state. Among the crops produced by irrigation are celery, sugar beets, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables and grain. Utah is especially adapted to the raising of celery. So great is the demand from eastern markets that often much of the crop is exported and the Utahans are forced to eat California celery. The raising of alfalfa seed is a growing and profitable industry. One-thiof the alfalfa seed produced in the United States is grown on Utah projects. In sugar beet production the state ranks third. Her nineteen factories produce about 140,000 tons of sugar annually, or 2,800,000 bags. Besides shipping great quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits, Utah has thirty-seve- n canneries which export many trainloads of canned fruits and vegetables. In 1027 the state ranked first in the number of cans filled. The pea cannery at Smithfield, Utah, is the largest in the nation. Aside from irrigation are the dry farms which produce grain. Poultry and dairying are thriving and profitable industries. Millions of cattle and sheep range the deserts, mountain and foiest reserves. Wool and meat are two of the principal products of the state.
