Music for the evening was for-Ushby Richard Condie, Elmer Cottman, Myron Crandall, and Miss Lela Boyer. "The Union Pacific Is not seek ing to buy the Central Pacific, but wlB do so if necessary," said Judge Lyle,. reciting the decision of (From the Deseret News.) Even to this day men stop us on the street and inquire in that pessimistic tone, "Do you really think all this talk about the development of the steel industry in Utah means anythirfg? We have heard it so many years that we are skeptical." With masterful command of temper we repress the stinging, sarcastic rejoinder, saying merely, "Betcha suit of clothes they'll be melting a hundred tons of pig iron a day in 18 months," but we get no takers. It's mighty funny that our alleged boosters will still stand on the sidelines and sneer when a railroad is already projected to the iron fields and n plans are being drawn for the blast furnace, coke ovens and rolling mills which will be under process of construction half way between Provo and Springville by the first of the year. After a day's peregrinations in and around Provo we found a of electricity in that city. It's vastly. different from what it was a year ago. Provo. as you know, has always been rich, comfortable and contented. It has been full of the old guard who were satisfied to let well enough alone, the meaning plenty to eat, a warm place to sleep and a nest egg in the bank. There were sneerers there then aplenty but they are hard to find today. This steel thing has gotten into their blood and they are preparing to grasp Time by the forelock and take advantage of the fact that their town of 13,000 will easily double in five years under the impetus of Utah's steel and iron industry. In this great, new game Provo is so situated as to hold a beautiful, high-poihand. Provo is a wonderful town today the flower of central Utah. If we had time we could tell you of her twenty different manufacturing plants with a payroll of nearly $200,000 a month ; of her four banks, three big department stores, twenty-fiv- e groceries, five hardware and implement stores, ten auto dealers, eight accessory dealers, lumber and coal yards, brokerage and commission houses, bakeries, movie theaters, hotels and numerous other activities in thriving condition.

At the last session of the board of trustees, the offer of Dr. John A. Widtsoe to present his library ot agriculture to the school was ac cepted, and the John A. Widtsoe collection was established as a unit or the library. Dr. Widtsoe had already presented the university with some thousands of agricultural bulletns and pamphlets, and with the new presentation the school will have a library of agri cultural bulletins and pamphlets, west. Dr. Widtsoe was formerly a professor at the. B. Y. U. and is now chairman "of the L. D. S. As STORES " church commission of education. At the same session of the board Uhe Iuwrenee Coffin collection was a No established. Iiwience Coffin I.' a phvsHcian in the city of Nw York.

Dr. Coffin soon gave evidence that is queries mere idle v.er- - not prompted by curiositj, for he liaj presented the librerv with 6a volumes of literary works, and erptcts to do something.; i - COUN IT I t- s j .

This probably Is a phrase ot the steel plant location most Utah people, have not known:' "The railroads ot the lntermoun- tain region want the steel plant loacted right here on Utah lael" So said J. A . Reeves "Jack Reeves" to railroaders and shippers general freight agent of the Union system, speaking before a joint meeting of Springville and Provo KIwahians here last evening. Many people, even some included wnliin the coterie of steel promo' ters, have believed that the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific and the Southern Pacific, and all the cannectlng roads west ot the fals- souri have opposed the steel deve- lopment of Utah from the selfish motive that as long as steel and pig iron are produced as far east as Gary and Pittsburg the haul ot steel products over the rails would be more profitable to the trans continental lines. "That was true years ago." Mr, Reeves said. "But it is not true today. The Union Pacific would rather develope steel in Utah than anywhere else, and that, too, is true of other transcontinental lines I believe. It is our interest to develope the steel industry in Utah." .Mr. Reeves explained; "Years ago transcontinental lines hauled steel from Pittsburg, which was profitable to the roads. cThea came the Panama cahaL" TJow leST" products are shipped by rail to 'the Atlantic seabortri toaded m boats and freighted to the Pacific coast cheaper than we can haul them from Gary to Pittsburg. Most of the Pacmc coast steel rreignt travels on boats. The railroads get little of It. "But the steel products are here in Utah the railroads will get all the haul, to the Pacific coat, and as far east as tne Missouri river. It will be to our interest to develope steel here. y "The Union Pacific is deeply, in the steel plant - here. That's why we are going to build a branch to l.und, to bring iron ore to Utah lake.

Provo is a town of splendid location and beautiful homes with the Wasatch peaks towering directly behind it and the blue spread of Utah lake directly in front of it. Although 70 new dwellings were erected in 1920 and 125 in 1922, there is not a place to rent and the three hotels are always full. It will take 250 new houses next year to take care of the normal growth and a big modern hotel is an admitted necessity. . The Brigham Young university, .with its 1,800 students, gives a scholastic air and the city has always been renowned for the excellence of its grade and high schools. Thus they have a splendid foundation for the rapid development that is now certain to come to them. Springville and Provo are six miles apart. In a few years when the huge blast furnaces are pouring out "their molten wealth all the rich country in between will be populated as a city. Salt Lake need not be chary of admitting this because we will have steel mills of our own and there will be wealth in plenty for all of us. nt COlUiTEBIDERS Why Steel Plant would like to speak of her candy industry that sends out 75 carloads of candy a year, of the mHls that send out 25 carloads of woolen goods, of the 1,260 cars of refined sugar, 640 cars of canned fruits and vegetables, of the big variety of iron and. steel products already made there, including mine machinery', and of the hundreds of cars of brick and tile products and raw brick material, all of which pay tribute to the city. Provo is the metropolis of one of the richest counties in the state. Utah county has over 3,000 farmers and about 350,000 acres in farms. To this they are preparing to add 60,000 acres of reclaimed land along the shores of Utah lake, which will prove the richest garden soil in the world. From these farms they are now shipping through Provo 1,000 cars of peaches, 500 cars of apples, 100 cars of pears, 100 cars of prunes, 500 cars of potatoes, 50 cars of strawberries, 1,000,000 gallons of milk, 50 cars of onions, 50 cars of other vegetables and the sugar and nt OO Union Pacific Officers Tell PROVO GRASPING FATHER TIME BY THE FORELOCK well-enou- freight Pjovo men who came down to arguhear the IT.
