No sooner would this strip of country be blocked off than some other farmer in that district would see fit to put bis land all together and within a very short time the to traveLa..great--dcal-faitker-t.residents wuidd-iiave- . market their crops and to reach Lehi and other points than they do at the present time. Not only would it be of great inconvenience to the traveling public in that section, hut no end of litigation and strife would result in such an action. When the roads in this mountain district were established there was no effort to make them conform with section lines, "as it was impracticable then as it is now, for it would be impossible - to form-- a i mountainous district or hill country where the roadways would have - to conform to boundary lines ; and should the commissioners allow. the Mendenhall trade to stand, a most dangerous precedence would be established in this county Not only would the people west of the lake take advantage of the ruling and cause all kinds of trouble, but m other districts such as Clinton, Hobble Creok, and Spanish Fork canyon, where the roads wind around. Of course, these farming dis- those west- - of 1triets are sm&ller-thabut the ht hold good in one place as well as another. Furthermore, the Men- denhall brothers have offered only a two rod road in exchange for a six rod road an exchange .which we helievethe commissioners are . not justified in making, The protest offered by the residents west of the lake who have homes there was well taken and the commissioners, should certainly give their protest more consideration than they ave to it yesterday. , -- o the-lak- n rule-mig- er - Boost eisMhty affords -- we-mu- - 0 0 0 0 0 0 or-bringing 0 g iU- re-si- -- - It 0o o0 o o 0o 0 0 0U O de It illy-nourish- , Better' ' , n GOING BY DEFAULT.

These students of our national affairs recognize the importance of inducing people Of the seaboard cities to settle and make homes in the West.

But the investor is interested in facts, Beautiful streets, fine residences. good business houses,- - of course-appest tp himt but showT him that these are built anil maintained from our resourscs, and that the products of the adjacent lands are capable of great er results! ; that the 'new lands corning each year into bearing, add thousands, of dollars- - of permanent income, and that Provo will more than maintain its stride of progress. A ride through our city and a cirele of the fruit, and farm lands will convince him. Provo is not, howver, dependent alone on its land products The state institution, the manufacflout turing of woolens,-candi- es building materials, foundry products, etc. its great University, the sheep, cattle and mining industries, add hundreds of thousands of dollars to its wealth annually. Reese, Stallings & Company report many inquiries from the middle west, wherd Provo and Utah county are becoming known, and suggest that if every resident becomes a booster, every visitor will more be a booster, more and people, greater capital progress. ;- ft a o o 0 0O 0O o o 0 0 00- ( , M W V' J |
