Or Is It Theirs The residents of Emery courtly were overwhelmed and delighted last week when it appeared that the county was on the verge of receiving an economic shot in the arm, in the form of a national inter-stat- e highway stretching from Green River to Emery, and on through Satina Canyon. This proposal would fulfill a dream long shared by county residents that the dissected parts of the county could be united by a connecting highway, thus bringing support, one to another. We also received this news with delight. Rut, it was necessary for us to also wait with agonized anticipation for the bitter opposition which was surely to rise (and is alurban centers ready running rampant) from the of Utah. We were shocked by the stand taken by the editorial staff of one of our slate" papers, which has long prided itself on serving the entire stale. Yet in a stinging editorial terms that the proposed road they stated in round-abowould go nowhere through nothingness. This theory was advanced due to the fact that the road would cross Grand, Emery and Sevier counties, with a ery low population for their areasand would terminate in a "hamlet of five persons, namely Cove Fort in Sevier county. Perhaps the political pressure was so great on those responsible for such an editorial that they did not take the time necessary to obtain facts before striking blindly at something that apparenly was not good for their backers. Had the writer given any thought to the question, he would realize that the prime purpose of the road would to relieve traffic congestion which might snarl be two-folan evacuation from a given area in time of enemy attaek, route. and secondly to provide a DIRECT in which with the contact road would Any proposal bring in its neither. would every large city accomplish path In the thinking of the urbanites, they would relieve traffic congestion by taking the highway into the mass of intersecting highways and already crowding the section This Utah. selfish attitude stems of metropolitan from only one thought: The tourists traveling this highway have money to spend" Furthermore, they would provide a DIRECT highway by saying it should weave to and fro, bringing the travelers in contact with every large metropoitan area in the country. Or do they advocate that it just enter the hub of Utah, and miss the congestion of other states? Another fallacy in their fight against our receiving part of our just dues, is in their statement that the road runs through barren, unproductive, sparsely settled waste-lan- d of Utah. If they were to consider facts, they would find that this barren land is more valuable to Salt Lake City than the city itself is. This barren desert country of Southern and Eastern Utah provides the interest and attractions that draw tourists to our state they do not come just to enter the maze of traffic hazards and congesions of Salt Lake City. The unproductive counties of this part of the stale provide most of the coal, oil, natural gas, and much of the mineral wealth used in the industrial and residential center's of the state. The merchants of Salt Lake (lily are more than glad to welcome the sparce population from outlying areas of the state to their stores. In fact many of their advertising campaigns are directed at this sparse population. 'The state newspapers carry on concerted drives to secure subscribers and news from this segment of the stales population, yet fight back bitterly when it appears that perhaps we are to benefit from something they selfishly feel is theirs. Aside from the existing wealth and scenery in southern Utah, this writer feels that the proposed road will open up a vast new area of scenic value i mining within a very short distance of such scenic areas in Emery county as Ruckhorn wash, Little Grand Canyon of the San Rafail, Sinbad, and others to the south: Goblin Valley, Red Canyon and the Copper Globe area. It is also reasonable to assume that with this addition of improved travel, mineral deposits in Emery county will be opened and brought into pmduetvity, where heretofore it has been unfeasable due to the long haulage on rough, and often impassable roads. To Emery, Grand and Sevier counties, the proposed inter-stat- e highway would mean economic development which would be felt by every resident in the county. It would bring revenue, taxes and tourist travel to these areas which have been shackled by influence. To the state of Utah, it would mean increased tourist trade, in that the tourists would be taken directly to the areas of interest on excellent highways. Thus, if they are impressed by our state, it is reasonable to assume that they by-pass- ed ut d: coast-to-coa- st by-wa- coast-lo-coa- up-sla- te st - Cail(e jbae Mrs. Glen Snow the hour and date of the auction and should show that the bid is UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT for coal lease Certified Delon Olsen is at home this week OF THE INTERIOR, Land Office, check, cashiers check, bank draft, after receiving emergency medical Salt Lake City, Utah.

We must all get on the bandwagon for this project. Such a highway as this would be of inestimable value to our area even the towns: though it will Utah State Road Commission State Capitol, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Siis: In regards to the addition of the DenverCove Fort route to the interstate highway system. It is hoped that the route approved by the Department of Commerce will be given your immediate support. I realize, of course, that there will be opposition from that segment of our population who believe that Salt Lake City is Utah, but certainly any impartial appraisement of the route selected will show beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is in the best interest of Utah and the nation. From the standpoint of the state, the route selected makes our beautiful national parks much more accessible, and gives both the north and south sections of the state an east-weInterstate link. From the standpoint of national defense, the route provides Cove an artery to the east for the populous Southern California area in case of enemy attack, in addition to drawing to Utah the tourists who are anxious to get to their destinations and dont want to be routed the extra miles through Salt Lake City. The best interests of the entire area will be served by the route the Department of Commerce has approved. Your immediate support is necessary to insure the development of Central and Southern Utah. Respectfully, Edward A. Geary by-pa- ss st Fort-Denv- er 100 Years Overdue ignored those two main purposes of the highway. You dont relieve congestion by crowding more highways into an area to make the congestion much worse, and you dont serve quick y traffic by switching it back and forth in order to put on all the larger towns which want the business. Utahs urban centers already thru long practice, have virtually on highway ima strangle-hol- d Even when outlying provements. counties get such improvemnts, the motive as often as not is to see that the urban centers get their share of the benefits as with the new roads going out now to the Glen Canyon dam, and Flaming Gorge. One primary object of the inter-stat- e defense highway was to break up congestion and enable traffic to get through speedily to its destination, with as little interruption as possible. How could that object be achieved if said highway must be diverted 150 miles iq order to please certain towns? It wasnt only Utahs larger towns that were left off; many others all along the route were left for connection only by the "stub roads." The first great traffic route over the Rockies, as far back as 1800 or more, was the Spanish Trail across the Green river, Buckhorn Flat and Wasatch Pass into Sevier county. Col. John C. Fremont, America's foremost explorer of the 19th century, advocated the same general course, more than 100 years ago, as the most direct and feasible for a transcontinenal railroad. Then the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway surveyed its company line and built much of its grade, 75 years ago, over the same route. All this original traffic, piece by thru more piece and extending than a century, was diverted to satisfy larger towns. The more they get, the more they want. In acquiring the new national defense highway, Emery county and neighbors are only getting back what they should have had in the beginning. This region has just the advandirtages needed for a first-clas- s, ect, unobstructed route for a National Defense Highway, as the U. S. Commerce Dept, has ruled. Our turn is about 100 years overdue for such a road. Lamont Johnson cross-countr- off-cour- off-cour- se Dear Editor: The biggest news in years for Emery county is the word that the U. S.

That shows what happens when an important road route is decided by NEWS FROM persons instead of some one who has a hand in distributing the Cjreen pie. $iver The Salt Lake newspapers, in reporting this change of route, described their engineers as being stunned" over it. And the Tribunes editorial of Monday bemoans this switching of such an important highway to put it thru three outlying counties of Grand, Emery and Sevier, instead of serving urban areas as they had plan- Mrs. E. n.
