Show Spotlighting i UTAH Highlight in Utah History. The tenth of May is a reminder that 77 years ago the first transcontinental railroad line was (brought to completion at Promontory station, Utah, a point some 40 miles directly west of Brigham City, and not at Promontory Point, as many historians mistakenly declare. Practically all Utahns are familiar wiht the story of the great celebration at Promontory, how whistles were blown, bells rung and cannon salutes tired in such cities as New York and San Francisco. Very little however is recorded of the bitter disappointment of Brigham Young over the fact that despite the twenty years promotion he had given toward bringing a rail line westward, that the buiders should ignore his pleas and bypass Salt Lake City toy running the line down Weber canyon and then around the north end of Great Salt Lake, leaving Salt Lake high and dry as he called the sitution. The story of how Brigham Young recruited a large number of Morman workers, of. his building a branch line from Ogden to Salt Lake, of his secur-n- g rolling stock from the Union Picific Railroad in lieu of money owed the Mormons by that corporation, of his completing the line into Salt Lake, February 10, 1870, of his driving of his own specially engraved spike made from Utah iron at a statewide celebra-- 1 tion in Salt Lake City, is an interesting bit of Utah history. Also vital, is the fact that soon the line into Salt Lake City was extended to growing cities and mining districts of south Utah. Eventually, many years later, the line even reached Los Angeles. Thus, Brigham Youngs eagerness to get a rail line into Salt Lake brought south Utah ard Las Angeles rail connections to Salt Lake many year earl-ie- r than otherwise might have been Utah Wins Award. In Washington, Governor Herbert B. Maw has been presented with an award he accepted it in behalf of the State of Utah from the Natl on5 Safety Council 'because Utah has the beat safety and record for pedestrians general traffic of any western state. In accepting the award,' Governor Maw eaid "only with volunteer service can a successful traffic safety job be done on a national scale. Plenty of Power Available. Those Utahns who live in isolated communities, on farms, or ranches where electrical power is' not available, might be interested in knowing that at the Ogden Service Forces 'Depot, the War Assets Corporation has dozens and d dozens of set? for sale at a fraction of the original manufacturing cost. The only catch isr that the buyer must take along a huge trailer mounted searchlight as part of the bargain. Some of the sets are new and sell for $1,000, the used equipment sells for $500.The units generate abuot 10 kilowatts of direct current and have 85 h.p. six cylinder motors. The units are ready to operate complete with switchboards. By adding storage battery capacity, these units might do very well for small communities where1 the call for electrical power is not too great. Promoting More Industry. The Carbon County Associated Indus-tre- s have announced that they are out to expand the dairy business in that area and insist that dairy money be kept at home for the dairy farmers. In addition, they want a brick manufacturing business, and a foundry and machine shop. Such industries are needed, it was pointed out, and would for a large number of be 1 .trailer-mounte- Saturday Evening Post Features Monument Valley, the San Juan river, Mexican Hat and the Norman Nebills river trip will toe featured in color in the May 18th issue of the Saturday Evening Ftost. .The story is done by the Posts feature writer, Neil M.

The Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development has received an attractive tourist folder from Richard F. Harding, a Salt Lake real estate man, on business in Arizona. The folder is interesting because it immediately gives a tourist the impression that the Rainbow Brdge National Monument is located in Arizona along with Navajo Mountain and other attractions, all of which are found in Utah, not Arizona. Utah is unfortunate in not having improved roads into this vicinity from the Utah side. The roads to Bluff are safe enough, tout from Bluff to Mexican Hat, the Cottonwood Wash always carries somewhat of a threat to motorists. The improvement of this situation, however, has been . promised toy .the State Road Commis-sion.
