The alarm was given and the city fire. wagon responded and through strenuous efforts kept the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings. lAn elderly man, a transient, is reported to have been sleeping in the car and received some burns about the arms. The fire was of unknown origin but it is surmised that it was started by transients building a fire in and about the cars and shed that were burned. This conclusion is drawn by many from the fact that these floaters have, during the past summer torn down and burned up a large portion of the fence near these sheds, belonging to the Farmers' Cash Union. 4 Holds Tues, John Rauber who was taken to the hospital at Brigham City a few weeks ago with a ruptured appendix responded to treatment for some time and returned to her home. A few days ago Mrs. Rauber suffered a relapse and it is thought it will be necessary to return her to the hospital for further treatment. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. SPECIAL UVfSTCKK SHOW UTAH STATE FAIR! OCT. 1 too brate in this wonderful annual fruit festival. Aside from a very splendid parade there were all kinds of amusements and midway and wild west rodeo for the merriment and entertainment of the visitors. If there is one thing more than another that makes this a popular celebration throughout the state it is the generous attitude of those in charge of giving out to the visitors lucious peaches and watermelons to eat to their heart's content and their stomachs filled. Prominent State and National fig ures attended the fete and were loud in their praise for the high class fes tival and display sponsored each year by the county seat city. In accordance with the plan made with the superintendent of schools, C. H. Skidmore, sometime early last summer and a committee from this community, a course in band instruction will be given for the first time in this valley to all children of the valley, free, under public supervision,, commencing Monday, Sept., 19th. The first class, for beginners only, will be held at the public school house here, commencing at 4:30 in the afternoon. The next class, of the intermediate grade, will be given commencing, at 5:30 and continuing for one hour. The third class, designated as the concert orchestra, will be conducted at 7:30 p. m. in the Lions Club rooms. The instruction will be given by C. C.

Mr. Watkins is prepared to teach any wind or string instrument, with the exception of the uke-lel- e. Parents are urged to cooperate in this movement, which has come at a time when an unusual interest has been created along these lines, with the help of civic organizations. Valley Will Have Large And Bounteous Harvest "LEADER" OBSERVES NATAL DAY WEEK the Leader has a birthday. As we recount some of the incidents in the founding of this city we find that a newspaper was one of the first businesses to be established in this community. We quote from the Christmas edition of December 15th, 1927: "In the early spring of 1903 the city of Tremonton was born. There was no struggle but the consistent plodding of men whose Mr. Nihart hearts were set on building homes in the wilderness He established took official lead of the town in the early days . an office on First West and Main, where he prepared a copy for a newspaper, which he had printed in Logan. He called his sheet the Tremont Times." In 1904, a Mr. Sherman purchased the Tremont Times from Mr. Nihart and with the aid of Miss Rose Carter, now Mrs. Israel Hunsaker, he published the paper for a year and printed it at Brigham. Quoting again from the same paper in the year 1914 it says: "For the first time since the establishment of the Tremont Times the town found itself without a paper. Alvin McGuire, seeing the need of a local organ of expression, established the Tremonton Leader in ....... 1914." Prices of Eggs Take 3c Per Doz. Advance Poultrymen received an advance of cents a dozen on eircs this week.' which will effect the shipments of the week of Sept. 10th, according to Reed Giles, manager of the local plant. The prices as in effect for this period are: extras, 26c; selects, 23c; standards 19c; and mountaineers, 19c. A new grade, which will be known as the Victorias, will bring the price of extras, that of 26c. 3 Mrs. W. S. Muir had as her dinner guests Thursday evening, Bishop and Mrs. James Walton, Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Rhead and Mr. and Mrs. Golden Frisby. The occasion was the anni versary of Mr. Muir"s, Mrs Rhead's and Mrs. Frisby's birthdays, all of, which fall a day apart. I In Sept. 1925 the first issue of the Bear River Valley Leader, under the management of William Settle, appeared to the public, the name having been changed from the Tremonton Leader to the Bear River Valley Leader. In October 1928 the Leader changed hands to the present Editor. From the very first sheet, printed in 1903 by Mr. Nihart, up to the present time we think the people of this community will agree with us when we say that its attitude has been for the development and progress of the community and has loyally supported every worthy project. The Bear River Valley Leader carries more country corresdon-denc- e than any other paper in the state, having eleven correspondents, who each week furnish the readers with personal items of news and interest that, according to the greatest advertising concerns in the country, makes a newspaper most valuable. It is our hope that we may be able to continue to serve the valley with a progressive weekly newspaper. We express our appreciation to the people who have loyally supported it. The Leader goes into a thousand homes each week. We hope you will use its columns in any manner you see fit for the progress and development in an industrial, spiritual and civic way. As we enter on another year, the Leader ventures a prediction that in spite of the ills through which we are now passing this great agricultural valley will rise out of the depression and that not many years hence an empire will be established with new industries, ideals will be realized which had their conception in 1903, when men, whose hearts were set on building homes in the wilderness, looked into the future and visioned the possibilities of the Great Bear River Valley. jLfUTjwuwrvivirrriirrivniVi - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - .- - .- - .- - -- - "- - -- - -- - ""- - CONVENTION HELD SUNDAY Relief Measures Given Much Consideration; Grand Exhibit Held The Stake Relief Society held its convention Saturday and Sunday in the stake tabernacle at Garland, with Mrs. Milton Bennion representing the general board. The major part of the sessions held were devoted to the discussion of relief methods of administration. In the Sunday morning sessions all bishops of the stake, the stake presidency and a representative of the county commissioners were present and took part in the discussions. G. G. Sweeten, representing the county commissioners, presented a very comprehensive paper setting forth the legal aspects and responsibilities connected with the administration of county funds to the poor. At the conclusion of his talk he gave out a questionaire setting forth the program to be followed by the county commissioners in the administration of relief work. These questionaires will be delivered in sufficient numbers to all bishops and relief workers to make a proper survey of the county. Following the meeting on Saturday and Sunday the exhibit of handiwork done by members of the society was thrown open to the public to view. The exhibit occupied the large Relief Society room and other class rooms in the ward chapel at Garland. Mrs. Bennion who has visited a number of such exhibits throughout, the church, was loud in her praise for it and said that it exceeded anything To her tes she had ever witnessed. timony in this respect can be added hundreds of others who viewed the exhibit, which contained articles of or namental and useful value ranging from old discarded lamps, vases, parts of stove pipe, pieces of compa board, burlap sacks, etc, molded, painted and shaded into beautiful and useful ar ticles, to the daintiest and costliest of quilts, rugs and other articles of : fancy art work. The program given Saturday was an outstanding affair, consisting of many fine musical numbers from different wards of the stake and a one act play from the Tremonton ward, di rected by Miss Wanda Garfield. The convention from every stand point was highly successful and par ticularly with respect to the administration and dispensing of relief funds, which will mark, it is felt, a bigger and more determined effort to place people in a position where they ..can help themselves, rather than employ a system of dole, which the majority of people shun, even when they are in distress. : - Sisters from East Visit in Tremonton Three sisters, Mrs. William, Fields a former Tremonton resident, Mrs. Grace Connell and Mrs. Sadie Willard-tospent the past two weeks aa guests of Mrs. L.

Democratic Central Committee to Meet J DEMOCRATS OF VALLEY HOLD Utah's Guest CONVENTION SET FOR OCTOBER 5th WORLDS FAIR TO Local Opening NUMBER ONE TREMONTON, UTAH, THUUDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1932 "- - -- The bounteous harvest, which is in prospect and about to be gathered in the Bear River Valley, is estimated to be one of the best for many, many years. While the wheat harvest was not a bumper crop, it was up to and above the average over a period of years. The hay crop has been unusually good and the weather of such a nature as permitted its storage without damage. Potatoes, beets and other root crops are in excellent prospect and bumper crops are expected to be harvested. All that is lacking, to bring about a condition whereby the farmers can meet their taxes and obligations, is a rise in the price of their commodities, which may or may not be in prospect during the next two months. . People coming from all sections of the United States, when passing thru the Bear River valley, have been astonished to find a high moral among the farmers and have been quick to see the cause for the same in the bounteous crops to be gathered this fall. No place in the country could be found more contented, industrious and sober minded people than in the Bear River valley, and according to the reports of men and women passing through the same, it is evident that providence has smiled upon these vales. While the farmers of this valley are gathering their bounteous harvests they will not forget those who are less fortunate and any surpluses of their crops will undoubtedly find their way to the agencies that can properly distribute them where they are most needed. This has been the attitude and history of the people of the Bear River valley, a land favored above all - ''' others. Wis. Mrs. Fields has a host of friends, who were happy to see her again as well as to have the pleasure of meet- ing her sisters. School Bus to Operate From Here to Logan Permission has been granted Geo. T, Halliday by the Public Utilities Commission to operate a school bus from this vicinity to and from the U. S. A. C. at Logan, during the school year.
