New Olson Building Nearing Completion ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah, July 23-All June travel records for Zion National Park were completely shattered during the pW!t month when 9,107 people entered the Park, an in· creW!e of 2,132, or 31 per cent, over the same month lWit year, it was announced here today by E. T. Scoyen, Park Superintendent. In discussing the total Park Travel the Superintendent states: "Contrary to the impression held by some people this increase does not represent local people, who are though to be counted every time they enter the Park. No such duplication of count is allowed under the regulations. Although Utah always contributes at leWit half of our Park Travel, our records still show that out of state travel hWI increased 44 per cent the !Wit year. Also a very careful check hWI shown that barely 2 per cent of the counted travelers over the Zion-l.U. Carmel Highway are people going through on business trips, the remainder being vacationists, bent only on seeing the canyons of Southern Utah". It was also announced that the total travel to Bryce Canyon Park during the month WWI 8,573 people, which •. figure WWI only slightly behind the Zion Park figure. The pWit month was the first time that accurate counts of visitors to this park baa been made and no reliable records are available to use for comparative purposes. Travel records in both Parks show every state In the union represented, District of Columbia, Territory of Hawaii, and ten foreign countries. E. T.

If space permlta, please Insert the following In your valuable paper: By virtue of the !act that the people In West Jordan ward, who having passed the three acore and ten years In life, are without queatlon, "as to their belief in the church doctrine, by the lump, or by parcel, or none at all," counted a member in the Old Folks party, and by virtue of this lib· eral rule, I am also a member, and had the honor and pleasure of particlpating in the big Old Folks outing at Liberty park, July 16. It waa sure a great day for ua old folks, and I feel to express, and to sing the praises to those ln charge of the party, and the only chance I have to give wings to my praise and appreciation is through the columns of the Journal, which is, I believe, read by all the people of West Jordan. Wednesday morning, the committee appointed to gather the old folks, imitated very much the King's ser· vanta, recorded in the parable of the wedding feast. They went into the partings of the highways, picked up the lame, the deaf, and the feeble, who were waiting at their gates, as· slated them in, or out of the car, led them through channel& of safety lntq the ecstacy of the feast, under the canopy of heaven. Here we stood face to face to our big chief, Bishop William Leak, with his suIt e, S . Dahl , D . H ogan, A • 01son, L. Gardner, H . P. Jensen, c. Hogan and R. Dimond, and all in turn ahaklng our feeble band with the kind· est of welcome. "We mlased our H. Cooley." This kind welcome gave us a thrill, it acted and cleared our mental world of all dross, like a fan ch.a.s· lng smoke and flies out of a room. Enthused with the mild, gentle and sincere welcome, we felt at home, like iu. a family social. The ladles were busy setting the tables, and topped it off by placing several bou· queta of flowers, which in silence send out their perfume and aroma, and in secret tell you the glory of their Maker. OUr toaatmaster, D. Hogan, announced In a few words that all was set, "Help yourself," and now, behold, the old kids had the time of their lives. It would perhaps offend some If I said that the girls and boys who waited on the tables were angels, but if I say the kind and loving banda that waited on us at the table could not be excelled, even If it had been angela, that eonveya the perfection of the service rendered the old folks. As I expreu my own ln· dlvidual sentiments, ao I believe it ls the sentiment of the old folks. I say to you, Bishop Leak, who oftered your time, your work and money; and placed your sacrifice on the altar of benevolence for a perfect day of blessing for the old folks, convey to your committee or people, our thanks and appreciation, but don't let this thanks pass your mind like a wind flurry over your head as nothing. We want you to feel the force, emanated from rreatful souls, like a river, surge tbroup your 110ul; we want you to feel like you were lifted on the winp of appreciatioD. over the physical line into the realms of joy and contentment. Thank you. K. lL NORDBERG. Attorney General Will Rule on_Fishing Rights on Strawberry JUDGE GEORGE P. PARKER The question raised by J. Arthur Mecham, state fish and game commissioner, concerning the ownership of the fishing rights in Strawberry reservolr is of prime importance not only in Utah but in the rest of the west, Judge George P. Parker, attorney general, declared recently, while discussing the problem with the Strawberry Valley Wateruaers association and Commissioner Mecham. Judge Parker declared that his opinion might have a bearing upon all future reclamation projects and that it might have to undergo the fire of on the floors of Congress and for that reason he WWI goihg to be sure that his opinion, whatever it might be, would stand the acid test. The so called Strawberry question is unique, Judge Parker declares, Hitherto In reclamation projects the right of the state to control fishing has never been questioned. The projects have been built wholly or in part on public land. "But in Strawberry, we have a dif ferent conditiou," Judge Parker says. "Here we have a reservoir built upon what is now or will be private land. When Congress authorized the Strawberry valley project in 1910 the recla· mation service purchased 56,000 acres of land from the Indians at $1.25 an acre. This cost was charged agains t the project and the land was to become the property of the wateruse n when title to the project pW!sed to them. "The Waterusers now claim, as I understand it from the letter written to me by Mr. Mecham, full ownership of the fishing privileges on the reser voir and while they are willing to enter into an agreement with the state on the fishing rights the state must understand and admit that these rights are on the sufferance of the wateruaers association and not allowed because the state hWI any claim on the fishing. "There are many complicated legal points involved which I do not care to discuss before issuing the formal opinion. The fact that the Strawberry people filed on the water for irriga· tlon purposes and not for the propa· gatlon of fish may have some bearing. That is one of the points my men are running down. ''The disquieting feature of this question is that If the Strawberry peaple are right then Echo, Hyrum, Deer Creek, Gooseberry and other proposed or actual projects are apt to become private fish ponds unless the state or the federal government take some action to preserve these rights to the public. "It might be deemed wise to avoid such controversies, that the reclama· tion law be amended to specify that fishing rights remain with the state. It might be wise to urge such a. clause in all succeeding contracts between the reclamation bureau and the waterusers. Just what will be best or how far this question will go we can not tell untn we get all our data arranged. "But at any rate we believe that this opinion will be widely read and will be considered not only by this state but other states. Mr. Mecham has raised a big question n.nd we want to be sure we do not leave any point uncovered." - -----RECEIVES M.A. DEGREE MIDVALE WINS FINAL GAME In the final game of the American Legion baseball schedule for this district, Draper plays West Jordan saturday at We:~t Jordan. The winner :Jf. this game will represent this distnct in the district play off. A meeting will be held July 25 in Midvale ~tween representatives from Utah 011, Magna-Garfield, Draper and West Jordan to draw up a schedule for next week's play to select two t_~ama to go to Provo !or the state fmals. In the !Wit home game of the :~ched :tle Midvale defetaed Sandy Wednesday, 7 to 3shrdlupun pun unununu The high ~ay by a 7 to 3 score. lig hts of the game were the strike outs recorded by each pitcher and the bunching of hits with errors to score heavily in a single inning Mike Zagarich, Midvaie pitcher has the distinction of striking out men for the first seven putouts. Sandy scored all their runs in the second when Delmar Larsen singled, went to second a poor return by Pedro of his hit, stole third and after I. Larsen struck out, ~ored when Johnny Dunoskovlch let Nelson's grounder roll through his legs. M. Larsen doubled, and after Kartchner struck out, Milne doubled, scoring Nelson and M. Larssen. Sandy made only two hits during the rest of the game, and runners failed to pass second bWie. After two were out in the first inning, Dunoakovich doubled, but Poulson flied out to short on a remarkable catch by Delmar Larsen. Robis opened the second inning with a single, but Canning hit into a double play, Milne to Ferguson to L Larsen. Midvale scored one in the fifth when Pedro and West walked in succession. A pW!sed ball put them on third and second. Harold Landers laid down a perfect bunt for a squeeze play, Pedro scoring. This proved a teaser, as six more were added in Poulson singled the next inning. Robis hit one at short, and both wer~ sa~e when an attempted double play fatled. Pedro walked, filling the JRses. Carl Janezin went in as a .'inch hitter for West. He was hit, 'l)ulson scoring. Zagarich delivered nice double to right, clearing the ;ases. Landers, Schmiett and Dunos.:ovich singled in a row, Zagarlch and ,anders scoring, but Benny was hrown out at second, ending the scor· ing. In the last inning, Midvale had their chance for a double play. I . Larsen led off with a walk and stole sec· ond. Nelson struck out, M. Larsen hit a long fly to Pedro in left, who doubled I. Larsen at second to end ' he American Legion Junior bWieball for this seW!on. In addition to Zagarich' s strike outs. and the two double plays, the catch by ~ rowd saw a remarkable -=:anning of Delmar Larsen's line Jrive to left center in the third inning.
