Show John A. Israclsen tnnfntTr,,t, The Cozy Corner e The Best Town By A DAM Site BYW.LG Well Folks here we go again 1 There are sure a lot of people around town that are plenty mad at the city fathers for raising the houses and business. power rates on that they pay taxes to They say run the city on and they help keep the light plant going, and then to raise the price like that it. really gets them. . Well folks I think that we have really got spring as we see the people going to their farms ifrom every direction each morning now. And there are a lot of pretty flowers in bloom. And another thing I have never seen so many bees ftying around in my life, but the thing that gets me most is that they dont care where they light. I guest we will half to have Roy Jensen, Don train Gill and Oliver Gundersen, their bees to stay at home. Ya Know Folks, the fish and game, commission wants the people to go fishing and the government dont want you to I guest, because vou cant buy a fishing pole, reel, or very little tackle. I guess we will half to do like they did in the olden days bend a pin and tie a string on the end of it. That is if you can find a pin. J It really looks good to see so many young people over on the cit4 park at night playing soft ball and different games. It makes everybody wish that they were young. When I was young they never had any grass on the park and there were big trees all over the place excepting in one corner, there was where they had the ball diamond. And that ball diamond wa$ hard as rock if a ball happened to bounce and you didnt stop it you were apt to get it in the nose. But new we have a beautiful park with plenty of green grass and a nice soft ball diamond. Is it any wonder that we all like to play ball now? Well folks the other day while I was in Logan I overheard a few men ' talking about. the Hyrum City Power Plant. They were saying that if Logan had of bought the surplus power from Hyrum, instead of putting in the Deisel Plant that Logan City put in they would have been ahead. Well you see foflks other people think we have a good thing. ,AU Geo. C. Allen P OI.I Here Hay Funeral serivces over the remains of George C.

The grave at the Hyrum cemetery was dedicated by A. A. Savage. George C. Allen was a native son of Utah. He was the son of Ira Allen and Keziah Benson. His parents were called to help settle what is now Cedar City in Iron County, and here he was born December 1 1, 1 853. Here he with the rest of the family suffered all the hardships and privations, incident to the settlement of a new country for about seven years when they again moved this time to Hyrum, his father being one of the original pioneers. Here again they helped with settlement and building up of the country. As a boy his job was to herd the sheep they had brought with them to Hyrum. Later he helped get out timber for houses, fenc'es nd barns. In 872 he and his brother Frank with a great many others were called by President Brigham Young to go to Arizona and build settlements on the Little Colorado river. But when the company reached House Rock Springs in Arizona, the Colorado River wa so high the ferry had been taken down the river and there was no way to cross. When President Young learned of this, he released the company to return home. Mr. Allen was always an active worker in the L. D. S. Church. He was a Sunday School teacher and M. I. A. worker for many years. From 1889 to 1891 he labored as a missionary in the Southern States, spending most of the time in Virginia. He was also one of the Seven Presidents of Seventies, and a coun-selto Bishop N. J. Nielsen of the Hyrum Third Ward and a member of the bidding committee of the ward. In 905 he and his family moved to Blackfoot, Idaho where he was interested in farming and building homes. They lived here until 1 923 when the family moved to Salt Lake 1 er 1 mm Your ivar nom T. E.
