Show BEAR MVEE VALLEY HE AIDE VOLUME Hit And Run Driver FLOW OF WATER AT THE OIL WELL Cylinder Mud Pump installed Last Week Did The Trick g After four months of work, the flow of 'water at the heart-breakin- Penrose oil well, has been checked, and indications are that no further trouble will be experienced from that source. The air of secrecy which has surrounded the sinking of this well since it was first spudded in on May 10, 1928, is still maintained, and any information which seeps through the metaphorical Chinese wall, with which the operations, have been surrounded, must, perforce, be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is known that a mud pump of the latest design, was taken out to the well last week, and it is a pretty well assured fact, that the pump has done the work and the flow of water has been checkfour-cylind- er ed. From time to time, stories have leaked out about the well, none of which have ever been positively confirmed by the employees or the officials of the Summit County Mercantile association, who have financed the drilling. On the theory that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire, the latest report to the 'feet that the cap rock had been pen- J:rated at a depth below 3.700 feet; ' iflt four lengths of perforated pipe are now in the pool and that the flow of oil, pending checking of the flow of water, has been held back by a two-to- n deposit of salt and rock, is given more or less credence. There rre quite a. few folks in Tremonton, who have kept a close watch on the operations at the well, their interest being prompted by the fact that they have land holdings in the immediate vicinity of the well; these holdings aggregating something like 5000 acres. These people are firmly of the opinion that oil has been struck, and that now that the flow of water "has been gotten under control, the operators can "bmgi in" the well at any time they see fit. In other words the "lease hounds," believe that the "backers of the well are simply biding their time, until they can secure control of contiguous property, at figures advantageous to themselves, and when this hasibeen accomplished, if ever, they will ""bring in" the well. Credible Presentation Of Cantata Enjoyed i congregation of more than 300 people listened with enwrapped interest to the presentation of the sacred cantata, "The Eternal Son of God," by the Bear River Cityward choir. This ( tfrsplendid organization, under the dir-- l ection of Mrs. Victoria Johnson, presented in a most credible manner the simple and beautiful story of the mission of the Saviour. The choir was well belanced with volume and harmony that expressed in song the important incidents in the life of the redeemer of the the world. The solo, duet and quartet numbers were also equally well rendered. The singing of the cantata was preceded by a brief synopsis given by Counselor Edwin O. Stenquist. The principals were Mrs. Florence Gardner, Mrs. Ivy M. Barker, Mrs. Emiline Anderson, Austin Johnson and Merle Jensen with Mrs. Robert Gardner, Carrie Zuick, Robert Gardner and Ervin Christensen, as soloists, Margaret T. Johnson, piano, and Wanda Jensen, organ. The opening numbers were furnished by a girls chorus, under the direction of Elmer Jeppson, of Mantua and principal of . the Bear' River City School. The numbers rendered were "Sweet and Low" .and "Indian Dawn". These young' people showed skillful training and deserve unlimited praise for the manner in which they. performed. Bishop Osey Jensen, in brief remarks preceeding the cantata, expressed his appreciation for the privilege of this sort of association and the opportunity afforded. .V All ia all, the program rendered by Mthese people was highly entertaining and edifying.' Lions Carnival Dance At Moonh'ght Gardens There's to be a carnival dance at the Moonlight Gardens oil Wednesday night, June 4, and it is sponsored by the Lions club.

TREMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY. MAY 29, 1930. K The hit and run driver, for whom boiling in oil would be a mild punishment, was in evidence in Tremonton, Monday afternoon, when a car, coming from Garland, whirled around the corner onto Main street, and a few feet west, struck a little puppy, hurling it to the curb and on its way to the pake where all good doggies go, while the driver of the car stepped on the gas and was quickly lost sight of, without so much as a glance backward to ascertain whether or not it had been a helpless little puppy or a human being whom he had hurtled into eternity. Everybody was familiar with the Uttle dog. In fact he belonged to no one in particular, but was a p t of all the children of Tremonton. It is not likely that the little fellow would ever have taken a blue ribbon at the fashionable dog shows, nor does it appear that he was possessed of a pedigree. He was just plain dog, the pet of children, in whose hearts is enshrined a loving memory of a little playmate who was sent to a painful and untimely end, by an inhuman semblance of a human, preseumed to have been molded in the likeness' of his Creator.

BOX ELDER SEEKS shell-sho- A QUALITY PRICE ON SUGAR BEETS Arranged With State Ass'n To Make Adjustments ce Let's be sure to all be at the Garland Tabernacle, Monday evening and get the details and practice those beautiful choruses. For the first time in our lives some of our voices will be broadcast on the radio. Come on girls. Lets go! ONE OF THEM N. R. PETERSONS' CONDITION STILL again-fBgai- Conference com-feren- of Bear River Stake: Here's a chance to show the world, we are on the map girls. The M.L A. General Board have given the Gleaner Girls and M Men the main meeting of the June Conference or the Sunday evening meeting at the Salt Lake Tabernacle, to prove to the world that we are willing and ready to shoulder our share of responsibility of keeping this good old world going in the right direction. This is all we've got to do at the particular time to prove it. Out of one hundred and fifty or more M Men and Gleaners, that will get tickets and reserved seats in the Tabernacle for that evening from this stake, we've got to see that most of them are girls. Why? Because the M Men issued a challenge to have as many representatives as they have. Imagine of all us lively, jolly, girls, who just love the word good-looki- ng blue-blood- It has been justly claimed for the sugar beet production of Box Elder county that the sugar beet content of the beets grown in this section of the. state, was much greater and of .& higher quality than elsewhere. Notwithstanding this fact, year in arid year out a blanket rate has been fixed by the sugar factories, which applies to all sugar beets grown in the state $7 a ton. Apparently no consideration being given to quality. During the past year, it would seem as if the sugar associations had come to regard tne matter from a different angle and it is the hope that in future years, the price paid for sugar beets would not be of the blanket variety but would be based en the sugar content rather than the quantity of the product. For years the sugar beet committee of the Box Elder Sugar Beet association have sought to bring obout consideration of this matter, and have succeeded to the point where a is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, between the committee of the Box Elder association and the committee from the state association. The announcement follows: The sugar beet committee of Box Elder County has been working for years to get the superior quality of the sugar beet, raised in this district recognixed. The work that has been done, seems to be about to bear fruit. Last Junuary the State Sugar Beet association agreed to appoint a committee to work with our committee to adjust the difference that exists in our sugar beet contract, because of the better quality of our beets. That committee has now been appointed and will meet with our committee, Sautrdav. May 31. LUDVIG LARSEN, Pres. Sugar Beet Association of Box Elder County, Utah,.

Weston was scheduled to play the second game but they called the game off and Mantua was substituted. Next Sunday, the Rough Riders will play at home, being pitted against what is considered the fastest team in the Salt Lake Commercial league, the Western Optical '"contingent. The sports wirters class the Western Opts as the fastest team in the state and leaders in their league. It's a real live wire baseball club and their work is certaintly cut out for the Rough Riders if they expect to score a victory over the visitors from Salt Lake City. This game, which will be called at 4 o'clock, ought to draw the biggest attendance of the season. DEFEATED 9 TO 6 The Rough Riders pulled another thrilling game out of the fire last Sunday, in the eight inning by pushing over 4 ariins, after Roy had staged a great rally in the seventh to score 6 runs and chase Johnson from the ROY-- mound. Johnson pitched fine ball for the first six frames, allowing only 4 scattered hits and struck out 9 men, Roy pounded out 3 singles, 2 doubles and a tripple for six runs in the seventh. Rex Hunsaker relieved Johnson with two out in the seventh, he was master of the game for the last two inning, he got a pair of clean singles in his two times at bat. Rex is a student at the U. S. A.

Bee Hive Girls Swarm At Stake Tabernacle ll, - p: Shaw Iverson Buys Ambulance And Hearse Final District Confenece Held, Tuesday er About 30 Lions and Lionesses, from Tremonton, attended the Lions convention at American Fork, Wednesday, bedeckled in the ten gallon hats and ribbons, which incidentally was the first appearance and the first guns heralding the famous Box Elder Fair and Rodeo, which is to be held .September 18, 19, 20. The convention was one of the largest held, drawing deleeates from all over ,the state and part-Idaho. The day was replete with entertainment and business which started with the registration and guests at 9 A. M. and ended with a grand ball at mid- night. Refreshments of all kinds were as free as the air. Sumptuous dinner and banquet, fine speeches and lots of high class entertainment featured the convention. Foremost was the 49ers warblers from Tremonton who took the house by storm. They were LaVon Stokes, Dr. D. B. Green, Merwin Christensen, A. I. Morgan and N. Earl Marble, in cow boy attire they did their stuff. Prizes were awarded to different clubs for activity, membership, attendance, etc. Our sister club on the North, Garland, walking away with the loving cup for the best major pro ject, that of the gram warehouse, rre monton came in for second place in the matter of attendance at the con vention, relative to the number present and miles traveled which aggregate was 6,600 miles while Vernal capped the pnze with 7,000 miles. The clubs in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho feel they won a signal victory in having J. M. Godfrey, of Richmond, Utah, elected as district governor for the coming year, tho the race was a hot one requiring three ballots through the process of ehmi nation before the selection was made. The major project selected for the coming year was the same as for the past year, that of preventation of auto accidents. All in all, the convention was not only the largest but was considered one of the best ever held. Any man attending the Lions convention must necessarily come away convinced that JUonism is the greatest service or ganization under the sun and it is growing with astonishing rapidity. C. VERYJCRITICAL Inhaled Flame And Gas In Effort To Save His Home The condition of Nick Peterson, the rancher, who was seriously burned, when paint which he was mixing kitchen stove for sheep branding exploded, Monday, May 19, is still in a very critical state, it having developed that in carrying the burning kettle of paint to the outside of the building, he inhaled not only scorching flame. but poisonous gases, as well, bringing about complicated internal conditions He is putting up a stiff battle for life and his physicians place great reliance on this fact, as a great help toward recovery. Mr. Peterson, it seems, was unaware that there were any ingredients in the paint, that were Jik5y to explode, when subjected lo a mild neat The can, which paint was in a he divided into two parts, and as is customary with all sheepmen, he placed two vessels on the stove, over a slow fire, to liquify same so as to mix flour with the paint to prevent its running, when applied to the sheep. Mrs. Peterson, who was also severely burned about the arms and wrist, says that the paint was not hot enough to have reached the boiling point. She stood over one of the receptacles, with a flour sifter, while her husband started to stir the contents of the other receptacle, when, just as she was about to start sifting, the contents of the can exploded, shooting the paint and flames to the ceiling of the kitchen and the paint then falling back to the stove, ignited and the kitchen became, almost instantly, an inferno. Mr. Peterson shouted to his wife to seek safety in the yard, which she did, and he grabbed up the vessel over which he had started to work, and ran into the yard, holding the receptacle close to his breast, face and head, the while he inhaled the flame and poisonous fumes from the paint. He threw the can into the yard and then returned for the other can, which he managed, with the aid of a broom handle, to carry to the yard. He again entered the building, seeking to quench the flames. He succeeded in stifling the blaze with some rugs from the floor. Then he staggered back into the yard and collapsed. He had saved his home but at a terrible cost Every hair had been bumed from his head. His breast, face and arms were a mass of seared flesh and he was and is suffering untold agonies. He declined to be removed to the hospital, feeling that his chances for recovery would be better at home than elsewhere. He is practically helpless and can be fed only through a tube.

Garland Shares Honors ' Farmers' Cash Union At Division Tryouts After 23 years of service, David Holmgren will on June 1st turn over the reins of management of the Farmers Cash Union. During these long years of active service Mr. Holmgren has not only seen the institution, which he has managed so long grow from its inception to its present place among the leading businesses of the community but has also been a factor in the growth and development of the community, having large Interests within and without the city. Because the multiplicities of these other interests it has become impossible for him to give the time and attention requir ed to conduct a business of that size. C. J. Dewey, who needs no intro' duction in this or anw other commun ity in Box Elder County and a former employee of this institution, has been selected as the manager and will direct the future destinies of the institution. Mr. Dewey has held posi tions of trust and importance in many different lines and is occustomed to modern methods of doing business and is capable for the job. For him, as well as the retiring manager, we wish unbounded success. In the division tryouts in Brigham City last Thursday evening the Garland ward came off victorious in three entries, Garland being the only ward to represent Bear River Stake. The numbers in which she won first place were: the double mixed quartet, boys chorus and the string trio. The entire Bear River stake is very much interested in the double mixed quartet. This organization went to the grand finals last year and will represent the stake there this year. That there will be many fine mixed quartets at the finals this year is not doubted but in spite of this it is a general consensus of opinion of the people who have heard the Garland singers that if they are not the winners, in the language of the street, the one that wins over them will be "Some Quartet" and once more Bear River stake has an unusual entry in these , singers. Not to be outdone the boys chorus and the string trio are also in line for some recognition. All power to the Bear River stake representativs In their quest for honors at the grand finals.

In view of the fact that the water system was being installed, many of the plot owners have been busy for the past couple of weeks, turning over the ground on the plots, setting out flowers and lawn, and on Decoration Day, those who visit the cemetery, will no longer have reason to blush for Tremonton. The streets in the cemetery have been levelled, and the roadway approaching the gates graded, so that no longer will it be necessary to wallow. In mud or dust, anywhere in the cemetery. Water was turned into the stand pipes, which are placed at advantageous spots at each plot on Monday, and the result was decidedly satisfactory, the water spurting through the taps to a height of twelve to fifteen feet, which will insure a plentiful supply for all needs.
