Organized to collect, disseminate and preserve Utah historical material, ma-terial, the present efforts of this group to preserve the complete history of Utah's participation hi World War II is worthy of commendation. com-mendation. The Historical Society So-ciety at the State Capitol Building Build-ing has catalogued the complete record of Utah enlistments, cas ualties and discharges in the! Navy, Maritime Service, Marines, ' Coast Guard and eventually the Army. This material is available : to veterans and other interested parties and represents the deter- j mined effort of secretary Mar-i guerite L. Sinclair and her staff. I In addition, the department's issuance of a large number of historical quarterlies over a per-) iod of years is of incalcuable value to those interested in the state, its history, traditions and attractions. The last book to come off the press is the Utah Historical Quarterly, Vol. 12. The first section of the publication has to do with "Indian Relations On The Mormon Frontier," and the second half; "A History Of Southern Utah And Its National Parks." No home library should be without this edition. It is suggested by an influ ential Delta citizen that a school textbook sponsored by an interested inter-ested organization should be written about the scientific and geological objects in Millard County. A tourist, or even a Utahn looking at Utah's map would think the county blank, it was pointed out. By way of support, sup-port, some of Millard's attractions attrac-tions were mentioned as follows: !A marvelous and gigantic fault; trilobites, (fossilized crabs) millions mil-lions of years old and 7,000 of which have been sent to the Smithsonian Institute; the up-thrust up-thrust of Crystal Peak; Topaz Mountain; the ample field of obsidian from which the prehistoric pre-historic Indian made arrowheads; arrow-heads; terraces of Lake Bonneville; Bonne-ville; craters of the state's largest larg-est extinct volcanoes; sea coral fossils near Leamington; the "Great Stone Face" near Delta, the finest natural resemblance to any human face ever pictured by nature, and the ninth largest meterorite ever found in the U. S. all in Millard County. More "Soda Pop Gas" Carbon county's underground supply of carbon dioxide gas (ordinary (or-dinary soda pop gas) some 3700 feet beneath the surface is being tapped this week for the third time by well drillers, eight miles south of Price. The latest well is expected to augment the present supply which arrives above ground at the terrific pressure of 700-pounds per-square-inch. For the benefit of the uninformed, the puref ied gas is converted into blocks of dry ice for commercial uses, which at a temperature of 140 degrees below zero, gives off clouds of vapor when subjected to ordinary atmospheric conditions. condi-tions. In addition, the carbon dioxide is converted into Cardox, the latter named gas is often used in Carbon county's coal mines instead of blasting powder. It is introduced into a drilled hole and allowed to expand, thereby breaking open the coal seams without the attendant dangers of the use of dynamite. Alta Expects Visitors Mayor Wotson of Alta has received re-ceived the following letter: "Your honor: As I have been informed in-formed that the best skiing in the U. S. is to be had at Alta, I am planning to bring my family there for three weeks next February. Feb-ruary. Send complete informa tion concerning hotels, ski lifts ' and facilities." Signed, Colonel! Lawrence Higgins, Metropolitan Club, Washington, D. C. The above letter is only a sample sam-ple of the hundreds being received re-ceived by the Mayor. "We need two new hotels and a sewer system", the Mayor declared, de-clared, "to adequately take care of the thousands of visitors who want to play at Alta this winter." Manti Miracle The miracle of Mantl concerns those' fifty brave pioneer families fami-lies who during the dread of winter, 1849, arrived in wagons at the nresent site of that city. Turning to the spur of the east mountain for relief from tne intense in-tense cold and deep snow, they mo hp "duffouts' in the gray hill where the Manti temple now stands. With the advent of snrine's warm sun. the comfort of the rock shelters was sudden ly interrupted by an unexpected and fearful menace from under slabs of stone and crevices crawl ed hundreds of spotted-backed angry rattlesnakes. The Manti ninneers stood their ground and fought one of the strangest bat tles ever recorded a war against deadly hissing reptiles. Three hundred fearsome snakes lay dead by the evening of the first dav's battle. The war continued throughout the night and for several days and nights until every snake was exterminated hundreds and hundreds of them and the miracle of it was not a man, woman or child was bit ten. Later, the gray hill furnished the site and the stone for a fort a fort that preserved the lives of Manti's people from 700 angry Ute Indians bent on trouble.
