Show Page BIO Thursday, October 8, 1987 Park Record Personal Paragraphs BHHIBCTl 'Little Giant' to make tracks up Parley's Canyon to the Park by ROBIN MOENCH Record contributing writer 100 Years Ago Park City travelers could expect to ride to Zion on the "Little Giant" railroad before summer, reported the Record. A corps of engineers was at work in Parley's Canyon and grading was soon to begin on a branch line of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad between Salt Lake City and Park City. One railroad official predicted that construction would begin within a month and that 1,000 men would report to work, the Record added. After much controversy and politicking, the Utah Ore Producers' Association had been created in Salt Lake City. The purpose of this organization of mining operators was to support mutual interests, one of which was to strike fair terms with the railroads. Mine owners had long been outraged at. the exorbitant fees charged by the railroads that carried car-ried ore from the mines to the reduction reduc-tion works. With the area's timber reserves quickly shrinking, the Record rallied readers to urge legislation that would conserve forest land. Park City's densely wooded hills had been reduced to a panorama of stumps as timber harvested from public lands supplied beams for mine shafts and tunnels and fed the steam-driven pumps that drained mine works. Already scarce, timber was continuing conti-nuing to dwindle and Parkites feared that soon the valuable commodity com-modity would become a luxury.

The officers were installed in-stalled and a reception was held following the meeting to meet and honor outgoing and incoming officers. of-ficers. This was a very productive meeting and we enjoyed being Delegates and meeting the new officers. O From Time Advocates of conservation asked that a dozen trees be planted to replace each tree that was felled. A Deer Valley madam made one of her regular appearances at Police Court that week. Em Davis and three of her "soiled doves" were arraigned ar-raigned before Justice James for "catering to immoral wants," said the Record. On pleading guilty, the brothel "keeper" was fined $35 and the "inmates "in-mates of the house" were taxed $20 each. A test case for the city's opium-smoking opium-smoking ordinance brought about a spirited contest in court when six of Park City's "Celestials" were arrested ar-rested for indulging in "filthy weed" at a Chinatown opium den. The smokers and the den's proprietors pro-prietors were defended by an Ogden attorney and prosecuted by City Attorney At-torney Cohen, said the Record. The defense attorney declared he had a good chance for victory because the city charter gave the municipality no power to punish opium smokers. 25 Years Ago To the relief of Park City mine owners, federal restraints on the import im-port of lead and zinc would not be relaxed, the Record said. The U.S. Tariff Commission in a report to President Kennedy said the competitive conditions between foreign and domestic metal producers pro-ducers hadn't changed since the restrictions were instituted in 1958. The commission advised that the v 1' -l Eva Sanchez FINALLY, RECYCLING IS COMING TO PARK CITY DON'T THROW YOUR NEWSPAPERS AWAY.

From now on, a boy who wanted to wear a white school sweater would be required to earn a letter every year for three years. In other school news, a new "Superior Body" bus was picking up high school students in the early mornings. The 1962 Chrysler bus carried 60 passengers and had cost taxpayers $6,500. Also in the automotive line, the school district would soon receive a new drivers' training car a Dodge with seat belts and dual brakes. Excited neophyte drivers were preparing to slide behind the wheel of the shiny new rig by studying the rules of the road, said the Record. 10 Years Ago Proponents of the Skaggs food and drug store in the proposed Holiday Village shopping mall told city planners plan-ners that, based on population projections, pro-jections, the mall would be badly needed by 1980. Mall developer Bill McComb predicted that the town's need for commercial space would double within three years. The mall was to be built on a site behind the future Holiday Inn at the intersection of Utah Highways 224 and 248. Along with the Skaggs chain store, plans called for a sporting goods store and an automatic laundry. laun-dry. J. Thurlow Former Park City resident J. Thurlow MacNaughtan, 85, died Oct. 1 of natural causes. He was born August 7, 1902 in Heber City to James MacNaughtan and Emily Howarth MacNaughtan. He married Bessie Jones in the Salt Lake Temple. She died June 13, 1979. He was a member of the LDS Church and held many church positions posi-tions including Bishop of the Park City ward, High Councilman and missionary. He worked as a miner, carpenter, superintendent of water works and Park City Justice of the Peace. He was also a self-taught musician. He is survived by children Fay Leroy Green of Salt Lake City, Arnold Ar-nold Kay MacNaughtan of Sandy, Thurlow J. MacNaughtan of Heber, Gleason Warren MacNaughtan of Lehi; sisters Alverda Jones of Lehi, Grace Winn of Pleasant Grove and Mona Steppe of Hawaiian Gardens, Calif.; 15 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Monday, Mon-day, Oct. 5 at the Cannon Mortuarv FOR EACH MOVIE AT THE IDEAL - AD STARTS FRI. Countering McComb's argument was Dan Parker, part owner of the Village Pharmacy in the Mt. Air Mall on Park Avenue. Questioning whether the size of the store almost 47,000 square feet was justified by the population growth, Parker asked whether Park City could support two drug stores. McComb quoted statistics that said Park City's population, now 4,000, would be 7,000 by 1980. Winter visitor days in three years would top 80,000 with the opening of Deer Valley Resort, he added. Other proponents of the new store argued that a straw poll showed that half the town's disposable income was spent outside Park City. Detractors stressed that the store's size could make it an eyesore and planners agreed. In response to aesthetic fears, developer Rob Morris Mor-ris told the commission that pleasing architecture topped the developers' list of challenges. One month after opening the Alpine Slide, partners John Prince, Jack Sweeney and Wally Wright reported they had pocketed nearly a quarter of a million dollars in ticket sales. Other Park City merchants also reported big business. Jan Peterson, whose sporting goods store was near the slide, said business was up 300 percent. Four new employees had been hired to accommodate ac-commodate patrons about 120,000 to date from the concrete-chute mountain ride, he said. A new chairlift at ParkWest Resort brought skier capacity to 5,500 an hour, said the ski area. The new 3,200-foot Snowhead double dou-ble chairlift would serve the lower part of the mountain. New snowmaking equipment would ensure en-sure a base of four feet on the lower slopes, with or without the help of Mother Nature. MacNaughtan in Salt Lake City.
