Freece, both widely and popularly known throughout Southern Utah. The marriage cerewas solemnized at Manti on the first; .of July. Just a few of the intimate friends of the contracting parties were ' privileged to witness the ceremony and upon the return to . . Salina no announcement was made. Suspicious 'over the happiness and . gtee of the groom, he was interrogated and came across with the announ-- . cement. It will prove a complete and " happy surprise to their many friends.

The statement injures the Petty, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Weeden and contractors, it injures your city and above all it does not help those who are responsible for it. Thus spoke and A. II. Christensen, head of the Utah. Construction company, to a Sun reporter Wednesday evening. Mr. Christensen came down from Salt Lake Wednesday and was in conference with his foreman, G. I. Bowman, and the railroad engineers Messrs. Bogart and Streater. lie was here' to plan further work and to make an inspection of tho work that has been started. Arrangements had been made and will be carried out, Mr. Christensen stated, to give employment to those of Salina who desired the work. The impression gets out that the work is to be started on a large scale and outsiders will be coming in by droves. This nufkes it embarassing for us, it crowds your city with some undesirables and interferes with the plans arranged for by your Lions club, to favor local men. The work of the gineeus ha J not progressed far enough as yet, to determine exactly how many men will be employed in the construction work. However, itjs more than likely that some fifty or sixty workmen will be started soon ' after the first of September, but at the d most we will not employ men to nt ex-M- 100. Working in cooperation with the Salina Lions club, foreman ,G. P. Bowman for the Utah Construction company, will give employment to as many men as possible in Salina. A committee, from the .Lions club has been named as a local employment agency and it is desired tljat those seeking work register their names so that a record can be kept, and the help supplied the construction company as needed. All local woikmen will be employed for the present and the only outsiders to be used will be for the steam shovel and others where experienced mem are required. Mr. Christensen stated that one of the steam shovels was now enroute and. whin it arrived it will be taken on tHe grade and put in operation. The camp, has been established and pending the further work of the railroad engineers the working forces have been slightly reduced, but it is expected tlwit by the first of the month a big crew will again be start- -- i ed in. ill One - - of lie Best Tin University of Utah is now rated as a. distinguished college, an honor achieved through competctive inspection made of fifteen colleges in eleven states.

These being the standards, it is evident that R.O.T.C. is a creditable functional part of the University of Utah.
