Mr. Knickerbocker tendered his resignation aome time ago to accept a position aa general manager of th Alaska Steamship company and other propertiea of the Guggenheim. He will leave for Seattle, his new headquarters, with Mrs. Knickerbocker, In a few days, and will assume his new duties July 1. While th dinner was given by Mr. Platt, those present as guests last night presented to Mr. Knickerbocker a handsome hand bag along with their best wishes for his success In his nevy work. Th ceremony of presentation wa performed by H. E. Godwin, assistant general weight agent. Mr. Godwin aald that, while all rejoiced In his promotion and advancement, they regretted to have him leave.

A survey of the east and south line of . .th& stale school - section- - on which Is located at present the approach to Bryce canyon, will be made by Hoyt Clark, It was announced jesterday by John T, Oldroyd, slate land commissioner. Mr. Oldroyd had just returned from a visit to Bryce canyon. In which he tn vealigated the matter of leaelng this section. Ruby Slrratt, who Is operating a hotel, cabins and tent camps on the rim of th qanyon, has had a lease on this section, and wa complimented yesterday by Mr. Oldroyd on the character of the service he le giving th tourists and the manner he le giving it. He he piped water about 2T0 feet and supplie this free to th campers, and la arranging to have bathe Installed ijs some of A he cabins, so that conveniences are provided at varying schedules of rates to fit the Purses of all but The most' luxurious and expensive of tourists. Mr. Oldroyd fouijd that there ar many other good camping sites on tha rim of which Mr. Slrratt would th canyon.-ove- r not have control even If he had the state lease. These are on lands occupied by th national forest, and will presumably be operated by that service. At the seme time other applicants are applying for leases on portions of th etate ground, end th commissioner's visit wa to learn as to the advisability of subdividing th area in the shool section so that there be no monopoly of --the attraction. "In this matter," said Mr. Oldroyd, "1 believe th state should have regard, not so much for tho revenue to be derived by th state school land fund as the rendering of service to tha state at large by making this spot aa attractive as may he from the standpoint of provisions for the comfort of the tourist, whether he be from Utah or elsewhere. 1 found that there are already considerable numbers visiting Bryce canyon. The majority, perhaps, ar not stopping at tn hotel, but or taking advantage of other facilities provided. The problem of administration there and th arrangements for leaeei with the different applicant can be made much more mtelllgentlv when we learn the actual boundaries Of tho atat property. ' ad The Dunn act carries various other amendments to the federal highway act besides authorizing the making of the appropriations aa noted. It is provided that bridges may Include railroad grade separations, whether by means of overhead or underpass crossings. Another paragraph, concerning which there waa much discussion, limits tha amounts of federal aid per mile of road. In Utah this lias been for the current fiscal year about (29.(00 per mile. This Is limited bv the terms of the new bill to about (24,050 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, and to (22,200, approximately, for th two fiscal years following. In . other words, the federal aid will continue to run at the rate of approximately 74 per cent in Utah for roads costing up to 932,500 a mile for next year ana for roads coating up to (30,000 a mile in the two years following. The present limit Is for - road costing up- - to (40,000 a mile. All the cost In excess of the limits stated will have to be borne by the local authorities. Costs In Utah this year for hard surfacing have run around a mile, aome above and some below. Th notable exception has been the road In Carbon county, where coats ran around (50,000 a mile, including both grading and hard surfacing. O Price-Csstleg- at Letter Explains.
