Utah Power & Light company officials who studied the location of the plant for a long time before the decision was announced, declared that the southern part of the state to be served by the Provo Steam Electric Station, is destined to experience a marked business revival, principally through a boom in the mining industry. The Provo river is one of the important water courses in the west and has become a key factor in the state's development devel-opment program. The Utah Power and Light company already al-ready owns the Olmsted plant there, with its flumes and reservoirs, and now will greatly increase its investment on this river by the construction of the steam plant just below Olmsted. . The Deer Creek dam and reservoir, a project running into close to ten million dollars, will be located above Wild-wood, Wild-wood, just a few miles from the new plant. Indications are the Provo river will be the scene of important activities from now on. . The people of Utah county and Provo appreciate the decision of the Utah Power and Light company to locate its huge steam plant here. They welcome the investment of more than one million and a half in such an important industrial in-dustrial enterprise as a steam power plant to serve the needs of this territory. The construction of the plant will not only be a welcome addition to the tax rolls of the countv. but it will constitute a valuable permanent pavroll, one of the greatest -needs of the day to get us out of the depression. Employment will be provided during construction to hundreds of non-relief unemployed men, many of them skilled artisans. nt Vipro will hp a forprnnnpr for other important industrial establishments. With a depend- able power supply on hand, plenty of water and storage . facilities for the farmers, and an abundance of coal, minerals 1 and other natural resources at our door, there is a great future for growth and development in store for Utah county, With intelligent leadership, a proper spirit of co-oper- ation, even-body working unitedly for the welfare of the community as a whole, nothing can stop this part of the I State from forging ahead to a great and promising destiny, j p Life Is Like That , . , . . , i- 1 I1C IVV-O, L 1 V 7 1 I r 1 l ilV i i l mere is sonieining eimv those two authors.

More to pass the time than anything else, they wrote the yarn still once more and the rest is history. Today, To-day, they have a dozen best-sellers to their credit. Now, it appears, the vaunted civilization they so despised de-spised and perhaps still do is likely to drag them back to America. For providing a mental escape for thousands of American readers, their fate may be a return to the sort of life they fled far away to forget. Life as somebody remarked long ago - is a funny proposition. ETHIOPIA'S GREA TEST GENERAL , r vt-' Ttiii - ' ' - - - ihhul auwui mc- taicw- w.

Jean Dunn, who had thought it a wickedly-exciting lark to poke her nose inside The Golden Feather night club! She was in their power, and the man she had promised to marry was one of the gang, and there was no possible chance that she could ever get away. She stumbled along, until at last they came out of the woods into the clearing. The old house loomed up. a dark, insanely-designed shadow against the star-flecked star-flecked sky, the few lights in its rooms gleaming dimly through the night. Beyond it the surface of the lake was a black pool, lit here and there by a touch of reflected star-shine. A breeze was rising, and there was a gentle rustling of leaves in the trees, a silky wash of wavelets on the beach. The man conducted her straight to the house and marched her up the steps and into the hall. He stood there with her. his gun under his arm. and waited. A door opened somewhere, and Red Jackson came toward them. He looked at the guard coldly. "What're you doin" in here?" he asked. "I thought you were supposed sup-posed to be a lookout, up the road. What's the idea coming in here?" The man hastily gestured toward Jean. "Honest, chief. 1 had to come in. he said.

He looked at her silently for a moment "Why?" "I I didn't know what I'd got into," she said. "Oh. And now you do know, you don't like it. Is that it?" CHE nodded. Standing under his Inhuman stare, she felt that she knew Just how a bird felt when it looked, helpless, into the hypnotizing hypnotiz-ing eye of a snake. "What's the matter with us. anyhow?" any-how?" said Jackson. "Why don't you like us? We're nice people." His voice was edged with clumsy sarcasm. She made no reply. "You like that boy friend of yours first rate, don't you?" he continued. con-tinued. "You weDt for him plenty. I understand, before this." Her heart sank, as she realized that this. Indeed, was the very worst thing about it; that she had let herself in for all of it by giv-ing giv-ing way to a senseless infatuation for Sandy Harkinp. She had discarded dis-carded the honest and loyal affection affec-tion of a youth like Bobby Wallace to cast her fortunes with an outlaw! out-law! She found herself nodding miserably. miser-ably. "Well, what's the matter, then?" asked Jackson. "He's Just as nice now as he was before. Still brushes his hair the same way and wears the same kind of clothes. Looks just the same and talks just the same. You'll get along with him fine. . . . And with the rest of us, too. You Just got to get used to us. that's alL" She shook her head. "I can't," she whispered. He looked her over from head to foot with slow, curious cur-ious deliberation. "Oh, yes, you can," he said. "I'll tell you this, sister. When you put in with him. you put in with all of us. And puttin' in's a lot easier than pullin' out again. You're stickin. now for always. And don't forget it" A door opened, and Sandy himself him-self came into the hall. He looked from Jean to Jackson in unspoken inquiry. "Your girl friend," said Jackson, "thinks she wants to go home. You talk her out of it. You're kind of gifted, that way." He turned to go. and added in a rasping voice. "Or kick the daylights out of her, if that's easier. I don't care." . TTE went away and left her in the AJ- cavernous old hallway, with its dark woodwork, its old-fashioned chandelier and Its dim light. Sandy came over and put a hand on her shoulder. "What's the matter, kid?" he asked. 1 aon t supposer sne said, "that it s any use reminding you how you've lied to me and deceived me and" "Not a bit." said Sandy blithely. "Not a bit of use. You see, I wanted you bad. And " "And that was the only way you could get me." she said bitterly. Sandy was unabashed. "You got to take what you want in the only way you can get it, in this world," he said. rOh. And you wanted me."

Once inside, she hastily locked the door: then she dropped on th bed. wishing that she could eas her emotions with a torrent oi tears but finding herself utterlj unable to do so. She did not know how long sht stayed there, staring up. wide-eyed into the darkness overhead, while a thousand self-reproaches raced through her mind.

Then, somewhere below, came the crash of a gun going off. and auather. and another. Quick spurts of flame stabbed through the darkness ; beyond the lawn. Larry Glenn 1 leaped down from the porch and slipped behind a tree trunk near the corner of the house.
