That isnt the official announcement, understand Well J herald the official announcement with a big front page banner headline, and the 1 i H civic-mind- ? It I 4 . j i j , crowds will be whooping ed it up. a fine thing for Brigham City. First off, Fram would like to lease a big building here, and warehouse their products mostly oil filters for automobiles, and other types of filters here, as well as re- ceive orders and make shipments. Then, in a or two, theyll follow it up with a fac- -' ' year or tory, assembly plant, which will employ upward of 100 people. It will be a fine thing for Brigham City. If those one hundred people each earn $50 a week on the average, it will mean a pay- roll of $260,000 a year. Yes sir, more than a quarter of a million dollars of new money, money brought in from outside, money created here by the toil of local hands. Money to be bounced ' around and , spent and A quarter of a million dollars is a lot of money in a community this size, We dont mean to make a comparison, but consider the, pet project for this year of the reclamation committee of the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce, or, more particular-- I ly, of Alf Olsen, chairman of the reclamation will be re-spe- 4 ) , . , , f i committee. Alf quotes convincing facts for you. There are 40,000 acres of land west of ' Brigham City, he says. Its practically waste land. It may provide a little pasture each year. It may produce $10 or $15 per acre, on the average, but that , would be tops for it. Theres plenty of water, Alf says, to reclaim that land; to put it into full irrigated 1 ' land. land could pro-- ; Properly irrigated, that sduce as much as $400 an acre per year, we believe we heard' Alf 'say (although the : reported it $100). Take the , . $100 figure, even, and multiply it by the 40,000 acres to be reclaimed, and you get a staggering four million dollars per year ! That would be new wealth. That would be money produced from the soil, from soil that before that time was little better than worthless. Four million or even as much as 16 million beautiful new bucks per annum! A factory paying an average wage of $50 per week to its employees would have to employ more than 6,150 people to produce a total payroll of 16 million dollars a year. Or, putting it another way, $400 an acre income from our 40,000 acres of waste land west of Brigham City would be nearly $2,500 a year for every man, woman and child in Brigham City. , .What a dream! And yet Alf, and others who have studied the situation, declare it isn't a dream. The land is there. The water is there, or very near there. About all it takes is to put the two together, to make room for another 1,600 or so farm families not just individuals, families! right there at the edge of Brigham City.

When you are asked, what do you say? When you have placed the return address up in the left hand corner of that letter to your best friend, do you write Brigham City or just Brigham? If you wrote Brigham, why did you? Was it because of modesty or just plain lazyness7 Or did you think that was the name of your town ? Brigham, City, not Brigham is the name of your town, incorporated in 1867, and it has been Brigham City ever since. It must be that many of us have been just plain lazy, not willing to use the time or ento ergy to add that little addition, City, make the name complete. So whats happened? Why the fuss? Just this: Did you giy it a second thought the last time you received a letter, stamped mis-seto Bingham Canyon? Did you know that the postal department is exchanging sacks of mail daily between Brigham City and Bingham Canyon, all because peoand ple are too often writing Brigham Bingham. Try writing the two, one above the other, write them good, but notice how 'much alike they are. Is it any wonder the postal clerks, forced to make speed, are daily making the wrong guess? Mail is not the only item that goes wrong; express, baggage, freight and even people have come into Brigham City that were intending to go to Bingham Canyon. The delays encountered are often more than annoying. They often cost money. nt Some very good examples could be given. Misunderstanding and friction between people is often a result of such delays. We have a case where a young lady cancelled her marriage engagement, all starting from badly delayed baggage. The baggage had been checked to "Brigham, poorly written, was located at Bingham Canyon . . . too late, the damage was done! Many of our large agencies, such as the postal department, railway guides, bus companies, American Express, Hailway Express, Hand McNally, maker of maps, tourist guides, etc., arid many others, all with national listings, show our town as Brigham in place of Brigham City, and it is probably our fault. That dignified and always correct Box Elder Chamber of Commerce have printed in large, bold type on their letterheads and envelopes Brigham, and it is known there are a few firms here that have done the same thing. Two large and important organizations recognize the importance of correct naming of towns ; they are the Western Union Telegraph company and all of the telephone companies, and it is reported that heither of them have difficulties as between the two towns mentioned excepting when depending on mail. Both have listed Brigham City for years. Bets get this situation cleared up. Brigham City is growing. The Indian school is using Brigham City in all of their correspondence, and it will be very helpful if we will get in the habit of doing the same. Soon, maybe, there will be another industry in Brigham City. So now is the time to clean house and get in the habit of saying, writing and listing Brigham City. The campaign is under way; all of the companies with national listing that are now showing Brigham will be asked to make the correction, and it wont be long before we will have a real Brigham City. clamation of those 40,000 acres, and that is the U. S. bureau of reclamation. Theyll do it when we make them do it. Possibly before but it isnt likely. Theyll do it when everyone in Brigham City and Box Elder county, and everyone in Utah whom we can get interested, is hounding them and arguing with them and preCity senting the case of the acres so persistently and convincingly that it will be easier to make a project of the thing than to stall off the pressure groups. The merits of the case arent enough. There are a lot of. meritorious proposed projects for the reclamation bureau. Can we apply the pressure . . . for four to sixteen million dollars per year?
