Fiazicr, veteran of Byrd's south pole polar expedition and an explorer of note, has reached New Orleans, a New Orleans newspaper has informed the Utah Ut-ah Department of Publicity. Accompanying Dr. Frazier is Lynn Hansen, Salt Lake sportsman sports-man and Howard Hausknect, Bingham high school mechanical arts instructor, as navigator. The voyage, promoted as a Utah eood will tour, was start ed in Montana, May 8th, on the Yellowstone river in a small metal boat. For the first 500 miles over rough water and rapids, rap-ids, they used oars and finally an outboard motor.

After weeks ot ad venture-filled journey, they made the front pages of the New Orleans newspapers when they docked their boat at the foot of Canal street, June 16th. During the voyage, they smashed 14 propellers on rocks and logs, burned 750 gallons of gasoline and were stuck on a sandbar for seven hours. They were caught in a cyclone in St. Joseph, Mo., where ten-foot waves almost swamped them. "It as one of the roughest trips I ever made, but also one of the most exciting," Dr. Frazier Fraz-ier told newspaper men at New Orleans- Both Hansen and Hausknect agreed that the trip was the most thrilling they had ever made and that the appearance of the Utah boat on the rivers mentioned drew considerable interest and comment. During the voyage, the men made scheduled appearances at some 16 major cities along the roue where they lectured on Utah Ut-ah and distributed Utah literature literat-ure before Chamber of Comm erce groups. They were joined by their wives at New Orleans. Ton of Hite Shows Unusual Activity Hite, one of Utah's interesting, interest-ing, but most isolated towns is getting into the news. The only town in the State to be located directly in the Colorado river gorge, except Moab, Hite has experienced ex-perienced interesting history in the past 79 years. Cass Hite, from whom the place was named, built a house in this wide spot in the gorge in 1870. For many years he exist ed by panning gold on the river. Eventually word got out and a gold rush started. Gold dredges jwere hauled to the Colorado where they still lie twisted and rusting. Disappointed prospectors prospect-ors tried to find Hite to kill him, however, he hid out until the trouble blew over and the gold fever subsided.

Today, crossings at Hite are made via automobile ferry guided and made secure by a heavy cable anchored in the rock walls of the gorge. In 1940, Hite had one human occupant, two buildings and some orchards. Today, the uranium uran-ium ore found in the area is bringing dozens of prospectors into the region and a processing mill to handle the uranium ore taken from White's canyon nearby near-by is now in operation. Only a few days ago, the new mill was inspected by the President of the Vanadium Corporation of America, E. D. Bransome of New York City, who was accompanied accompan-ied by his vice president and thr?e directors. During the past year the population pop-ulation of Hite swelled to sev eral dozen people and a public school was set into operation to accomodate the children of the community. Hite is the jumping off pTace for the many boating trips down the 164 miles of river to Lees Ferry, Arizona. 30 Million Tons of Coal Found The Kaiser Company, Inc. has announced that following extensive ex-tensive drilling tests in the rich coal mining areas of southeastern southeast-ern Utah, they have found a new source of more than 30,000.000 tons of high grade coking coal. The comapny is making plans to go into extensive mining operations op-erations and the coal will be shipped to the Kaiser Steey plant at Fontana, California. The new coal deposits lie in the famous Book Cliffs field which also supplies the Geneva Steel plant with coal. New York Photographer Spends Month at Arches Ray Garner, motion picture photographer for the Harmon Foundation at New York City has spent the past month In the Arches National Monument making mak-ing a motion picture of the attractions at-tractions in this famous region- The Western Photographic Co. of Tucson, Arzona. is planning to move into the Arches soon to make a motion picture travelogue travel-ogue picture of the monument's geological oddities, value exceeding the $3 paid to the state. During 1935 the Central Cen-tral Utah Water and the Carbon Companies paid $1,200 and $1,000 respectively for the use of water from the reservoir for the year. The Utah Foundation study Utah Foundation Points to State Land Grant Misuse Assets of state of Utah permanent perma-nent funds have a real value of at least $lVi million less than the amount carried on state records, it was noted in a research re-search report released this week by Utah Foundation, the nonprofit non-profit private tax study agency. The total principal investment invest-ment of the trust funds by the State Land Board amounted to $9,435,884 as of June 30, 1948, according to their biennial re-nort. re-nort. However, this figure in cludes $1,019 836 representing determined losses and 754,41 of outstanding investments in farms acquired through mortgage mort-gage foreclosures and resewoir warrants. The actual recovery of the property securing tnese farm loans is less than V of the book value. The Drincinal investment of the trust funds earning income ! as of June 30, 1948 was $7,541- 468. A SDot check of 24 state farms bv Utah Foundation analysts. which are listed as assets of the permanent trust funds and represent re-present investments of $45,000 J emphasizes the desirability of beneficiary agencies participat ing in the management of trust fund. At the present time, the Land Board consists of three Commissioners Commiss-ioners of the Department of fin ance, so that beneficiary agencies agen-cies are not directly represented Tourist Bonanza Hits Utah Starting midnight, June 24, 5,000 Carbon and Emery coun ty coal miners drawing 15 doys regular pay and 10 days vaca tion pay started to put two and one-half million dollars into circulation cir-culation vacationing in Utah. Their regular pay check amount ed to $1,5000,000 and their vac ation money amounts to $100,-000 $100,-000 per day for 5,000 miners this totals $1,000,000. With this much in their jeans, the miners and their families were traveling in all directions, with Utah's national parks and monuments and fishing areas the prime objective. Many are visiting relatives and friends in other sections of the state. What two and one-half million mill-ion dollars will do to the economy econ-omy of the state is anyone's guess, but coal miners and their families are good travelers and good spenders- It is safe to estimate est-imate that the cash will be distributed dis-tributed in many directions in al sections of the state. DIVING MISHAP FATAL . . . Ann O'Breirne, Washington's Junlot diving champion in 1948, died the day after she suffered a paralyzing .pinal injury when she dived into shallow lake near her school in :.cafchatel. Switzerland, striking her back on a rock, shows: Twelve farm accounts have no value. On six of the farms the water rights have been sold, and no revenue has been realized since 1939. On two farms the water is leased at an amount to cover the water ass essment paid by the state- Three other farms lease at $25 a year, and one other farm leases at $150 a year. The report calls attention to the fact that by 1936, the State Land Board had invested $1.-776,721 $1.-776,721 in three reservoir projects pro-jects (Piute Reservoir and Irriga-toin Irriga-toin Company, Central Utah Water Wa-ter Company, and the Carbon Water Company.) All three of these projects turned out to be bad investments. By legislative action, the assets of the companies compan-ies were acquired in satisfaction of the debts and then resold to the original owners of the irrig ation companies for the sum of $1 each. Foundation analysts indicate that there was substantial evidence evid-ence that these properties had a in management of the trusts.

Y., thinks 1 am wrong when I assert that one should never say, "No, you're wrong." He thinks there are times when a man should be told definitely that he is wrong. - Well, note that I didn't' say you must always agree with a man, though I did say for you not to say, "No, you're wron" It is the phrasing that is important. If you are tactful, careful in your manner, you can sav i practically anything to a man without offend- ing or even ruffling him. Dr. Lieberman says and I am sure that you will agree with him, as I do that there is an art in saying no, and this art is based on the oldest law of human relationships respect lm the other fellow. D. Carnegie But let's let Dr. Lieberman tell his own version: Land Board has sold approxi mately 3,600,000 acres of state land granted under the Enabling Act. There are an estimated 2,500,000 acres yet to be solu. During, the 1948 fiscal year, the land grant trusts produced $631,461 of revenue. Of ths amount, $239,953 was income from investments in bondfc, loans and contracts of oale; $1061,159 from grazing leases; $237,305 from mineral leases and royalties; and $48,145 from interest loans- Income from mineral leases and royalies is nearly 12 times the 1940 figure of $18,626. This jump in revenue from mineral land is due to the increased in-creased activity in the development develop-ment of, Utah's oil reserves, the report notes. "When someone comes to me with an idea," says Dr. Lieberman, "I ask him to spill it, and as soon as possible I agree with some minor point of his proposition. Then I ask him to come back after a tew days or a week, when we both will have had time to think over the matter. If, when he returns, my answer is still no, I say no, but I give reasons for my conclusion, conclu-sion, and I attempt to raise his own self-esteem by suggesting a substitute idea not too far removed from his own. "Before I end the interview, I praise him for the value of his idea and ask his opinion about some other matter about which I know him to be well Wormed." You will note that Dr. Lieberman tactfully refrains from arguing; that be is honest in bis treatment, and that he shows the man the sespeet that everyone craves. And you can be sure that Dr. Lieberman has many more patients than he would have it he pat mp aa argumeat with them on matters ht which they are not wholly in aecovd. K he shouted, "Mo, yosrae wsongP whea they dU sot agree, he would be sure to offend the sensibilities of some of those patients, with the feeatt taat tfaef would not eaie to have farther assueiatkin with him, astll C agfse.

California is Favorite Gallup Poll Shows While Utah is having a good run of tourists this summer, much publicity work lies ahead if it is to rank with other western west-ern states as a vacation spot. This is disclosed in a recent Gallup survey. In this poll it was shown that more people would like to go to Califc.iia for a summer vacation than any other spot in the United, States. Next in line in Colorado with Florida and Michigan in third and fourth places. Arizona with its Grand Canyon Can-yon south rim ranks seventh and Wyoming fifth with its Yel-lowsone Yel-lowsone National Park. A recent survey of the California Calif-ornia poll shows that among Calif ornians who plan to take a vacation this summer more will head for the vast vacation area within their own state than any other part of the country. The mountainous sections of the state are named most frequently. In a companion poll by Dr. Gallup, people were asked where they would like to go if they had a chance to vacation in any part of the world and cost didn't matter. About half named some spot in continental United States and again California was No. 1 choice. Window Box Flowers Need Frequent Food and Water Flowars growing In a window box need more frequent feeding and watering than those in a garden. gar-den. The amount ot soil, even in a large box, is too small to hold reserves re-serves of nourishment. It may require re-quire daily attention to supply water wa-ter during the summer, and feeding should be given once a month. If a complete balanced quick acting plant food Is used the following fol-lowing quantities win be required: for each application to window boxes of the sizes stated: 12 x 24 Inches require 2tt tablespoons. ta-blespoons. 12 x 36 Inches require 4 tablespoons. table-spoons. 15 x 48 inches require 0 tablespoons. table-spoons. 24 x 60 inches require 13 tablespoons. table-spoons. Best way to apply this plant food Is to place the required quantity In a cloth bag, and suspend it overnight ov-ernight in water, using a quart of water to each cupful of plant food. The liquid should be poured on the soil in the window box with as little lit-tle wetting of the leaves as possible. pos-sible. To protect the plants from diseases dis-eases and insect attack, one of the . all purpose pesticide dusts is most convenient With this the plants can be covered with a protective coating, about as heavy as face powder, which will ward off trouble. If you wish to prepare your own mixture, use D.D.T. 5 per cent dust, rotenone dust and fermate in equal quantities. Prepared all purpose pur-pose mixtures are now obtainable. Faded flowers should be picked from window box plants to keep them flowering. Except for petunias, pe-tunias, most annual flowers will slow down once they begin to produce pro-duce seed, and by picking off the faded blOMoms, seed product! can be prevented.
