As an extra precautionary measure, each occupant on any of the boat trips must wear a life jacket when they are in a boat. There are seven basic designs of boats used. They range in size from one that is 37 feet long, supports up to 24 tons and has a horsepower motor, to a type of is 24 feet long, has no motor, aad has sweep oars. The river guides plan the menus carefully in advance of the trip, pack plenty of ice and take along fresh foods and meats that will be cooked at scenic spots along the way. As a step toward ecology, all garbage is collected in bags and brought out at the end of the journey. "There is world wide interest in our trips, the affable Smith says.

Pick clerk in the Courthouse in Kanab by the 5 p.m. closing time on Wednesday, June 28. One candidate will be eligible from each of the five districts within the county. The first three school districts, all in Kanab, will have candidates seeking four year terms of office, and Districts Four and Five will have candidates seeking two year terms. Despite a report to the contrary, the school districts in Kane County have been reapportioned. This fact was confirmed by County Commissioner Bemell Lewis. Mt. Carmel and Orderville are now classified as District Four, and District Five consists of Bullfrog, Glen Canyon City, Alton and Glendale. Possible runoffs for the school board seats will be held in the September 12 state primary election, and the successful candidates will vie in the general election set for November 7. So far, only David C. Frost, Eugene H. Russell and U. S. Gardner have filed, it was reported this week. The recent reapportionment is regarded as an effort to equalize the board, and requires all school board members to run for office again at this time. After this election all terms will be for four funeral rites years. Glen City fire causes damage to mobile home unit Fire broke out in a mobile apartment in Glen Canyon City on June 12, doing a great deal of damage to the unit. The occupant of the trailer apparently went to sleep while smoking in bed and the cigarette ignited and the fire resulted. The home was completely gutted out by the fire. The unit was part of a string of mobile apartments and could have become an even more serious fire had not the Glen Canyon City Fire Department, together with volunteers been quickly on the job. Fire Chief Bill Tombom was high in his praise of the department and also the many volunteers who were so helpful.

County Demos attend state convention Mrs. Karen Alvey, Mrs. Madge Little and Mrs. Clyde Vance were the three Kane County delegates who attended the state Democratic party convention at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City over the weekend. It is reported that 11 of Utahs 19 delegates will go to the Miami, Florida convention in July committed to Senator George McGovern. By an overwhelming margin, Wayne Owens captured the Democratic nomination for the Second Owens District.

Lloyd or Mark Anderson, a Salt Lake realtor, in the general election for the Second District. Speaking of the Owens victory, Mrs. Alvey said, Wayne walked to us, talked to us and most important listened to us. He knows that Utah doesnt end south of Provo. Congressman Morris K. Udall, popular Arizona representative from the Second Congressional District in his state, was one of the speakers, and called for party unity. Fight hard, but fight fair, he said in his opening remarks Friday night. If a party cannot unite, it can never unite a country, Udall admitted, adding that the Democrats are going into the race this year as underdogs. Terry Sanford, former North Carolina governor, was also a guest speaker and warned the delegates of the lurking danger of a shattered national Democratic party without unity. Night bike riding posing problems; enforcement set Night time bike riding has become a seroius problem in Kane County, according to Sheriff Norman Swapp and Kanab City Marshal Francis Kelly. Several near accidents have occured, primr-il- y due to the fact that bicycles have not had proper lights. Bicycling is becoming more and more of a fad which is addirg to the potential problem. It is illegal to ride a bicycle after dark without front and rear lights, according to the law officials. The marshal and sheriff said that night time bicycle riders will be given one week to equip their cycles with proper lights. After that time citations will be issued to those in violation of the law.

Gavin Goudi, an engineer for the firm of Coon, King and Knowlton, was invited to speak before the Chamber and outline some of the local problems concerning water. He reported that the two pumps now in use have been working around the clock to meet local water reeds recently. Peak use will continue during July and August, Goudi commented. Two local wells are operating now at maximum production, and there has been no surplus water passed into irrigation channels during evening hours for over a week. He reported that some local wells are being explored as additional sites for water to serve the area. Hog Canyon is considered one of the best, but Chicken Canyon and Big Lake are considered as strong alternate possibilities where excellent water might be obtained. Chicken Canyon, located across Highway 89 from Moqui Cave, north of Kanab, could possibly produce several hundred gallons per minute. Two well sites are contemplated at the north end of Big Lake near the mouth of Kanab Canyon At present about 900 gallons of water per minute come from local water sources. This is enough to serve the needs of several thousand people, Goudi said. If the additional local wells are able to produce at the standards hoped for it is possible that 1,650 gallons per minute could be produced, and this would be enough to serve the needs of up to 5,000 people. The engineer noted that there is a considerable amount of water being used at this time. He asked tor local support and cooperation in irrigating lawns from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. This request had originally been made by the Kanab (Continued on page two) |
