Its a full 420 mile circle from'Santaquin, so add another 140 miles to the roundtrip from ' the Salt Lake Valley or 100 miles from Provo, and allow three full days for your junket There are accommodations at such communities as Santaquin, Eureka, Delta, Baker, Nev., Beaver, K$tnosh, Fillmore, Holden, and Nephi around the circle." Campgrounds are at hand near most communities. However, towns are few and far between west of Delta and Beaver, so carry a spare, drinking water, and pack a lunch. Pavements are good. If you travel south from Utah Valley (the tour may start anywhere along its course), be sure to spend some time seeing Eureka, one of Utah's most historic mining towns; and climb the steep road to Mammoth, another romantic old mining community. Youll enjoy playing in the white sand dunes north of Lynndyl, which you can see from the highway. Detour at Hinckley for a visit to the ruins of Old Fort Deseret, and perhaps to the Gunnison Massacre Monument (inquire locally for directions) Note how the desert has been reclaimed'in the Delta area by damming the Sevier River and using its water for irrigation. West of Delta you can see the distant, shimmering bed of Sevier Lake, which contains a little water now and then. The tremendous western face of Notch Peak, Utahs highest limestone monolith, will impress you greatly. Plan to visit beautiful Leman Wheeler in Nevada.

Mariam McAllisier, Kanab, 4-- H 4-- H Cliat-terle- y, The final bucket of mass concrete for Glen Canyon Dam will be placed about 10.00 a.m., Friday, September 13th, according to L. F. Wylie, FrojectCon-structioEngineer for the Bureau of Reclamation. The placement of this concrete will substantially complete the seven year construction of the huge dam on the Colorado River. Remaining work on the dam proper will consist only of finishing touches on the elevator shafts, the abutment approaches, and the trashracks. Although the work on the dam nears completion, the installation of generators and turbines in the powerplant is still in its early stages. One of the eight generating units is expected to be completed and ready to go on the line in June, 1904, with the other units to follow at regular intervals. The final generator will go on the line in February, 1966. The dam contains almost five million cubic yards of concrete and stands 710 feet alxne the lowest point in bedrock. Even though it is 16 feet lower than Hoover Dam, its volume is almost 50 per cent greater. Glen Canyon Dam is looted near the Arizona-Utaborder upstream from Marble and Grand Cann h yons. Work first started at Clen Canyon Dam in Octolser, 1950. At that time the canyon w'as extremely isolated and could be reached only by drive vehicles. Since then two new, first class highways have been built to the canyon, the w orlds highest steel aren bridge constructed, and a new town. Page, Arizona, established. Following almost four years of excavation, the first concrete was placed on June 17, 1960. During daylight and darkness, in winter and in summer, the concrete placement continued, with hugh buckets each carrying 24 tons of concrete moving swiftly back and forth from the mixing plant to the blocks of the dam. On March 13, 1963, the dam was sufficiently high to permit storage of w ater in the reservoir, which is now knowm as Lake Powell. The gates were restricted and Lake Powell rose rapidly during the spring runoff of 1963. It is rising more slowly now, but it is neverless 213 feet deep at the face of the dam and extends 120 miles along the sinuous red cliffs of Glen Canyon. In spite of difficulty temporary boat launching conditions, the National Park Service reports that recreation use of the beautiful lake has been heavy during 1963. The water will rise p to better boat ramps at during the spring of 1964, the National Park Service added The Wahweap Recreation Area is only five miles from the dam. Millions of small trout and bass w'ere aerially dropped into Lake Pow-cl- l during 1963. These fish are growing rapidly and will be of catchable size by the spring of 1964. Mr. Wylie advises those persons wishing to see thetopping out that it can be observed from the sidwalks of Glen Canyon Bridge. The small working space and congestion on the top of the blocks will permit only a minimum number of workmen and newsmen on the clam itself. It is expected that Glen Canyon Dam will be formally dedicated sometime during the summer or fall of 1964. four-whe- el Wah-w'ea- Bryants Open Greenbrier Terrace Mr. and Mrs. George Bryant of St. George have moved to Kanab where they have leased the old Kane County Hospital building from the County and are running the Greenbrier Terrace home for elderly people.
