Canyon now lias a fifty thousand dollar standard forest road. Some forty years ago a branch of the Sanpete Valley railroad was constructed five miles, up Bait Creek Canyon behind the famous old Mount Nebo, and over this branch was hauled some of the hardest marble ever quarried in this intermountaln country, but after a short time the Industry was forced to quit, and later the rails were removed, but the wonderful roadbed was never disturbed, only by the floods that came down the canyon, and then only in a few places. In later years this excellent right of way was turned Into a wagon road, and for the past twenty years or so the people of Nephi and surrounding towns have traveled this narrow rail road bed, and In the several places where the waters had washed the fills away, they have been forced to use the old wagon Governor Roosevelt Warns U. Become Desert Salt Creek road. But as progress changes every- thing, the Forest Service and the Juab County Commissioners, thru a cooperative plan expended approximately ten thousand dollars and the narrow roadbed, built in 1890 has been widened to a standard fourteen foot highway, and has extended this road on up Salt Creek canyon two miles - beyond . .the old railroad limit, making a seven mile stretch of good road, with graveled surface in places where It was This road open a necessary. new area for the tourist, or the people who desire to spend a day or two behind one of the Utah's The recently majestic mountains. constructed road ends directly behind Mount Nebo, and the Forest Service and the county commissioners have constructed the road for the benefit of the campers and pleasure seekers, who desire a new and place to seek recreation pleasure. Another road development program In Central Utah has been the construction of an eight thousand dollar road into Maple Canyon, a unique canyon about three miles west of Moroni. The major portion of the work and money has been furnished by Sanpete county and the people of that county. Up to the Forest Service boundary, it is estimated that six thousand dollars have been expended in money and labor, and the Forest Service have commenced the construction of their portion from the boundary to the forks of Maple Canyon. This work will be completed by June 25th, according to a report made Wednesday by A. P. Christiansen, forest ranger. At the forks of the catiyon there Is room for a recreational area, and there is plenty of water to take care of hundreds of campers. At the completion of the road Into Maple Canyon, the people of Sanpete county are planning a big celebration, which will be held on June 28th. Water For Sprinkling Purposes to be Regulated An account of the Increased number of users of city water for sprinkling purposes at the cemeteries, Water Superintendent A. J. Gowers has seen fit to regulate the usage of water for that purpose, and will mail out notices to all .those who have lawns and are using the city water for sprinkling purposes. This regulation Is primarily for the users having lots in the Vine Bluff Cemetery, but the same regulation will be in effect at the City Cemetery. Pay Inspects Pumping S. May The United States may become one vast desert, just as many districts of China have done, unless It takes care of Its forests, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt warns in an article published in the current issue of the Country Home. Paintings of Chinese districts, dating back only to about the time America show was luxuriant discovered, vegetation in districts that are now wind wastes which barren through and rain have ploughed gulleys and into these the rich soil has slipped. The havoc was wrought because the protecting forests have been removed says the Governor. His plea is that farmers put more of their land a movement which he to wood-lot- s, had inaugurated on a big scale In New York State. The article follows the widespread destruction of forests recently in the environs of New York. Governor Roosevelt points out that wood is one of the staples of American life and that the country Is consuming five times as much timber as is grown. The annual planting of trees accounts for only five days cutting. It requires trees annually to support and telegraph wires, says telephone Roosevelt,' and the country's use of wood-pu- lp paper is 8,000,000 tons a year. The country pays $250,000,-00- 0 in extra freight because the wood supply Is so far from the places of consumption. Roosevelt urges that a conservation fund be established by citizens providing for planting trees as a "Grandchildren's Trust." whole - Daughters of Utah Pioneers Organized Last Sunday afternoon, an event unusual Interest took place, of Utah when the Daughters Pioneers were organized in Juab County.
