Show J : THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN,- Thursday, April 10, 1958 Fhr Glen Canyon Dam Marks Passing of Country's Last Great Frontier The mammoth new Qlen Canyon Dam project marks the passing of the country's last great frontier, a wilderness of brooding - desert and moonscape scenery, weu m. Clark comments com-ments in the current (April 5) issue of The Saturday Evening Post. His article, "Giant of the Colorado," says that some hate to see it go, but others welcome prospects of employment in a region that has provided few Job opportunities. Meanwhile, business, agricul ture and Industry see it as opening new doors and millions of vacationing Americans are expected to eventually benefit. Clark relates that forty years of dreaming, planing and bitter bit-ter controversy preceded the official start of the dam work under the terms of Public Law 485. This bill, he says, provides for the development of the Upper Up-per Colorado River Basin's water wat-er resources over a 110,00 0-square-mile area in Utah, Wyoming, . Colorado, New Mexico Mex-ico and Arizona. The appropriation, appropri-ation, not to ntfefed $760,000,000, is the largest' single sum ever authorized for any Bureau of Reclamation project. "The purpose is to provide effective control of this vast river system for multiple-purpose water use," Clark, writes. "Fed by melting snow on the high Rockies, the river flow is erratic seasonally and f rom year to "year. "The structures now to be built are expected to regular ize the flow. They will hold back floods in big snow years and give up some of their reserve in dry years. Thus both upper and lower basins will get a rea FREE Cannon towels with eac h G. E.

Clark's report concludes with the observation that "things we'd like to keep will go, but opportunities beyond anything we can surmise are certain to supplant them." Funeral Services Thursday for W.

X-Ray at Your Rambler Dealer Utah County Shows 29' Population Gain Utah County the second largest larg-est in the state has Shown ' a 2.9 per cent increase. in population popu-lation from January 1, 1957 to January 1 of this year. , That's what the March issue of the Utah Economic and Business Busi-ness Review says in its feature article on 1958 county population estimates. The Review is published pub-lished by the Bureau of Econo-nomic Econo-nomic and Business Research at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. In a recently-completed study, the Review notes that as of January 1 of this year there were an estimated 105,000 persons per-sons living within the borders of Utah County. At the same date in 1957, there were an estimated 102,000 people living in the county. This is "a 28 per cent gain from the 81,912 counted during the 1950 census. The population of Utah on January 1, 1958, as nearly as can be determined, was 858,000. This gain of 25,000 persons during 1957 and 169,000 persons since 1950 represents almost a 25 per cent increase for the eight-year period a rate nearly double the national average. - Of Utah's 25 counties, 13 have a smaller DODulation in 1958 than in 1950. Of the remaining counties, all of which showed a population increase, eight coun ties have increased at a greater the state average. The population changes for individual counties since 1950 ranged from a climb of 189 per cent for prand County to a 16 Der cent decrease for Piute County. A brief explanation of the procedure pro-cedure followed in making the 1958 population estimates will help evaluate their reliability. In order to facilitate the preparation prep-aration of the January 1, 1958 population estimates, the Utah Population Work Committee assigned the Bureau of Economic and Business Research and the Utah Committee on Industrial and Employment Planning to gather and assemble available data concerning changes in pop ulatlon during 1957 and to re view the estimates made a year ago Data were gathered on several measures of population change in each county Including such things as natural Increase (ex cess of births over deaths), labor force, school census, utility connections, con-nections, new home construction, etc. On the basis of changes re fleeted by these measures, current cur-rent county population estimates were determined, Sunday Morning Fire Damages A.
