It is reached by rail only by the Union Pacific railroad at Lund, from which busses make park tours. The principal color feature is the combination of the brilliant red lower section and a white top on most of the formations, brought out with unusual force in the lofty Great White Throne, which rises 2,500 feet, nearly half a mile, above the canyon floor. So inaccessible are the sheer cliffs of this great landmark that park authorities will not permit any attempt to scale the peak. Zion National park takes Its name from that given to the canyon by the early Mormon settlers. Deeply religious, they found in the awesome surroundings ef the canyon constant reminders of the Diety.

CAMP COMMANDER Scouts of the three troops of Nephi held one of the most successful hikes in a long time last Friday and Saturday, July 2 and 3. We unloaded our duffle at the mouth of Cow Hallow. We were on a pioneering hike so before we could cross the creek to a camp site we had to make a way. This we did by floating the ends of a couple of logs across. Later in the day after camp was all set up and dinner over, we returned and made a very substantial bridge out of those two poles. We did this without a single nail and with only our axes to use as tools. In the afternoon Mr. Walker, forest recreational supervisor, took us on a nature hike. We not only learned the names of a great number of plants, but why we should not pick the wild flowers we see growing in the canyon. After games and a great deal of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Garbett of fun the day was topped off by a Redwood City, California are visit- big bonfire at night.

D. Davis, streets and roads of Nephl, with the equipment being furnished by the company from whom the oil was purchased. Streets receiving this surface treatment are: Second North from muin to third east; Center street from main to third east; First south from main to 3rd east; Second boulii from ...am to second east; First north Ironi main to first west and First east street between second and third south; The strip oiled on each street is 24 feet wide which is sufficient for all the purposes to which the area is put. Considerable investigation was made of the methods practiced for securing a surface in which the road materials were bound together in such a manner as to be res istant not only to wear but also to movement from the impact of traffic. This surface oil treatment was found to be very satisfactory In that it is cheap while giving results that are fairly lasting. Dust, the scourge of housewives, is eff ectively eliminated. The particular thing desired to be let known by city officials in regards to the above project is that only through the cooperation of the citizens living on the streets mentioned and the abuting property owners on said streets was the work made possible. These people have pledged contributions totaling abdut 50 per cent of the cost of the work done, matching dollar for dollar funds appropriated by the city. It is hoped that more of this same sort of work can be completed from time to time until all of the streets within the city limits have been treated in such a way as to make them servicable and useful under all conditions. Of course only those in proper basic condition can . be considered for further improvement but with the program as is being carried out by the city Streets Department for grading and graveling the streets and the equipment which is now available to their use it will be but a short time before almost any street where the citizens will band together and bring their share to the city, can be surfaced to produce a long wearing dustless thor- oughfare.
