Show Volume 5 No. 47 SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1923 Salina M iDjmi Proclamation It Predicts Clean-tow- n WHEREAS, the Statewide Clean-homcampaign has been authorized by the State Farm Bureau of Utah, and 2 counties of the state have completely organized to put over the campaign, and Hi For Bis Association Prices e, The advent of Arbor day last Monday, April 16, marked considerable advance in the Clean-u- p campaign of Salina. Fruit trees, shade trees, or- namental bushes, shrubs and hedges have been coming into Salina during the past weeks from the different nurseries and the half holiday allowed the schools was a cue to plant many of these. The effect of this planting is not noticable as yet. Time, however, will render these small plants into beautiful trees and hedges that will go a long way to make the city of Salina a better place in which to live. Time was when the citizens had to look after their own safety first, and did not have time to beautify their homes or surroundings. That time has passed, and we need no longer fear an attack while putting in our crops. We can therefore spend more time on the planting of flowers, shade trees, etc., that tend to the beautification of our living conditions. Other things being equal, nothing lends to the appearance of a house as a nice lawn in front and a clean back yard. Likewise there is nothing more unsightly than a fine modern house with broken down fences, poor lawns, and a dirty back yard. There are several houses in this condition in Salina, and it is hoped that the owners will realize how unsightly this conditio nlooks and fix up their premises at once. Such people have no excuse whatever in leaving their home and surroundings in such a condition, being financially able to hire someone to do the work if they are physically unable. Paint is an article that costs you money if you dont use it. A beautiful door left unpainted is absolutely a waste of money. Fences painted to harmonize with the color scheme used on the house lends a distinctive apearance to the premises. One week from today marks our first official clean-u- p day. By that time many of our homes and lots will have undergone a thorough cleaning. The city council is lending its aid in making the streets compare favorably with the hmes. All dirt and rubbish piles on the streets are being removed and hauled away. During the week a force of men have been busy in cleaning out the ditches. Miss Catherine Pearl Adams, n in Carl tG. Westerblad Salina was badly injured when the gas in an oil well exploded near Price Sunday of last week. The scene of the explosion is about one mile south of Price at what is known as Drunkards wash. Mr. Westerblad and his assistant Henry Brown, had charge of a diamond drill rig. They had been working a double shift and about nine oclock Sunday evening a rumble wag heard in the hole and a carbide was turned on the spot to see what was going on. The explosion followed simultaneously. Both men were hurled from the rig with great force and both received severe burns on their necks and arms. Moroni Hunt, a farmer upon whose property they were drilling heard the explosion and saw the flame of fire which folowed and rushed to the scene hurriedly. He picked up the men in a car and took them to the hospital in Price where they remained until Monday morning. The injuries, while very painful, will leave no permanent injuries on either of thetwo men. It is supposed that the gas from a pocket in what is known ag the Man-co- s shale caused the explosion. The flames shot upwards of fifty feet and were six feet across. The blaze gave off an intense heat and no one was able to approach within thirty feet of it. The iron parts of the rig are badly bent and entirely unusuable, which shows how hot the fire must have been. The flame kept up until two oclock in the morning, consuming everything in the immediate vicinity. The advent of this explosion caused considerable excitement in Price, in view of the fact that gas was also struck at Farnham near Price which indicates a presence of oil. Mr. Westerblad is well known in this community having been connected with several mining enterprises during the past years. His wife, Mrs. Westerblad has been connected with public life in Salina as a teacher in the- - grade schools for the past season. The friends of the couple are wishing for a prompt recovery of Mr. Westerblad in order that he may resume his duties once more. Mr. Westerblad intends to continue drilling as soon as heig sufficiently recovered and can get a new oil rig to take the place of the one damaged in the explosion. No information was given out as to the purpose of the drilling but several rumors state that the hole is being sunk for the purpose of getting oil, another states that he drillers are probably afer anthracite coal, similar to the found while drilling at Hunting-ton- . well-know- in- structor in extension work for the AGAIN NAMED COMMISSIONER Agricultural college at Logan, died Bryce McBride, who served effiat the Salina hospital last Saturday night following a short illness. Miss Adams was on a lecturing tour and was planning on visiting many of the schools when she was stricken. She was taken to the hospital and every aid given but without avail. The officers of the college, learning that Miss Adams had been stricken, sent a special nurse to care for her. Her mother, brothers and sisters were notified of the seriousness of the case and hurried to Salina and were with'' Miss Adams when the end came. Miss Adams was a graduate with ciently as water commissioner of the Sevier river last year, hag been reappointed to the position by State Engineer, R. E.
