NOEL CARTER ' Monlicello The Old Settler members of their hunting parties accidentally discharged. by My Dear San Juaners: i Our car was speeding across one of Utahs baien, desert re-- , gions, and the man sitting beside me turned from' the monotony of weary stretch of earth, as if to demand that I relieve .the situatin. You claim, he rn .tones of challenge, "to believe in creator. Thats right, I affirmed, unbe-ga- in all-wi- se compromisingly. Thell me then, if He was and created evreally erything for a wise purpose, why He made these idle, meaningless wases of wilderness. What will they ever be good for? If they are of no use, and to be of no use, why are they made? Dont you think it rather much for a finite man to presume to explain the works of infinite God.' I countered. Yet limited undereven with my standing I see good reasons for these waste places having been made, as well as the fertile reall-wis- e, gions. Our conversation of the next two hours can not be repeated here. I pointed out to him that the desert is, first of all, a most splendid challenge to tne ingenuity and resourcefullness of men, something to develop them in a way that they would otherwise never develop. The Creator had made some places verdant and others bare as a plain suggestion that we make tne bare places verdant. I told him how the jews of today are invading the old desert of Sinai, making it to bloom a's their lathers thought it never could do.

Their deaths bring the toll for Ihe first four days of the 1953 deer hunting season to four dead At least 12 other hunters suffered a variety of injuries from stray bullets, automobiles, horses and deer. DEAD: Carlos L. Jensen, 50, Bear River City, Box Elder county. Egbert Beatty, 56, Toquerville, Washington county. The body of Mr. Jensen was found Monday afternoon in the isolated Blacksmith Fork Canyon area east of Hyrum, Cache county. Hunting alone, he apparently suffered a heart attack while walking along a trail. 14 other Also by Tuesday hurt in car and horse accidents, hunters had been wounded and stray bullets and a few freak accidents. Only one has been reported wounded in San Juan county and was hospitalized in Cortez, Colo., for treatment. . Who knows how red much might be made to grow here if tnese slopes were terraced? The many dry washes we crossed showed, how much water had gone to waste which might have been held back on surface.

It is to be hoped that larger than usual percentage of the eligible voters will exercise their rights and participate in the coming municipal election to be held November 3rd.
