The Payson team played excellent football and reflected good training on the part of its eoach, Hugh Button, who time and again" protested ugainst the unsportsmanlike methods of the Balt Lake team and the rather raw decisions in numerous instances. Apparently under pressure the Utah Btate Officials association now comes back, charges Mr. Sutton with mistreatment of Harry Halton, coach of the Bryant junior high, and Vudol Peterson, coach of the L. D. 8. U., and demands that he be reprimanded. From a Payson standpoint, and from the standpoint of the hun dreds of Payson people who witnessed the game, the reprimand should fall on the shoulder of tho visiting - conches. Particular protest him been made against the ruling out of Hansen during the first quarter, some taking the stand that this was designed the for tho purpose of weakening Payson team, as Hansen was one of the strongest of the Payson men. - Pnvson went into the game with a strong team and no apologies are offered for the defeat. In team work tho Payson train was not outclassed, but the boys worked against odds which could not be overcome. The Line-up- .

J. Finch, district engineer of the United Btates bureau of public roads advised the meeting that the government is not inclined to aid iu building with hazardous sections, aoid that if the grade not crossings through Balcm were eliminated the government - would withdrawn its support from the proTho puoplo of Baloni continue ject. to bo divided on the questiou, and an early construction of the road between Payson and Spanish Fork does not seem probable. Tho utilities commission took the matter under advisement and will hand down a decision in the near future. It was intimated by Mayor Eli F. Taylor of Balem that political in fluence would be brought to boar with the bureau of publio roads if the road from Spanish Fork to Payson did not pass through the town of Salem. When Mr. Taylor stated that a resolution had been passed by a delegation of Salem citizens urging the Utah county commissioners to withhold their appropriation for the building of the road if it should be built north of the Orem railroad tracks, P. J. Finch, district engineer of the United State bureau of public roads, etated that if this was the sentiment of the bureau of the commissioners also, he was ready to recommend to the bureau the withdrawal of all government appropriations for road building in tho state .of Utah. There were present at the hearing A. R. Hcywood and Warren Stout-nou- r of tho state utilities commis sion; N. C. Poulson, George B. Casto and Ira. R. Browning, of the state road commission; J. M. Harmon and James A. Gardiner of the Utah county commission; W. D. Rishel of the Utah State Automobile association; P. J. Finch, district engineer of the United States bureau of public roads; F. M. Orem, D. F. Latie, R. K. Brown and Claire Anderson of the Salt Lake & Utah railroad, and Mayor Eli F. Taylor and a large delegation of citizens from Salem. In speaking in favor of the route north of the tracks, which would eliminate the four crossings and which has been designated by govas the official ernment engineers road, Mr. Finch stated tho federal board does not desire to aid in building a road br hazardous as the one 'through tho town of Salem. Beeauso more than 56,000 people annually used the road through that town, the dangerous crossings must be eliminated, he said, otherw ise the government is not inclined to cooperate in tho building of the proposed road. "Since the automobile owners furnish the money for the building of the state highways, said W. D. Rishel, "the automobile association considers it ns its business to see that the money is spent efficiently. All "death traps, of the road, such as railroad crossings and right angle turns, should be eliminated if possible. "Tn the Salem ease we can elmin-atfour railroad crossings, shorten the road and save money. with which roads mny be built elsewhere.

This means much not only to Utah in general, but to Fayson in particular, because of the fact that Fayson will probably be within a stones throw of tho center of activities. The most logical point for establishment of the great furnaces, with an initial eapaeity of 500 tons a day, is Lincoln beach, nbout six miles west and north of this city. Frovo, Spanish Fork nnd Fayson will vie with each other for the trade which establishment of must come with this new industry, but there is not nearest is the a question Payson point to Lincoln beach, and as soon ns the Lincoln beach is definitely decided upon as a location for the furnaces, the Salt Lnkc & Utah railroad, will not hesitate to extend its tracks, by easy grade to the new industrial location.
