The keynote of the addresses was stressed on cooperation and the obligation of local, county and state interests in selling the scenic wonders of Southern Utah to the people of America. It was impressed that this movement was a Utah project but involves all states where there are motorists. The connection of the roads was spoken of and the need of good highways, good hotels, good eampang paiks and garage service A constitution was adopted and Lichfield was made the headquarters of the organization, and offices will be established in various towns and cities.

Highway There is an old saying that there is luck in leisure, and this applies to n Elys connection with the which enters Utah highway, from Grand Junction, Colorado, at Green River says the Ely Record. Until two years ago all travel over Ocean-to-Ocea- this route was routed through Utah via Salt Lake City, and naturally, when it reached Zion, it was routed north of the Lincoln. Perhaps not one out twenty cars which came west over the highway found its way to the coast through Ely. In fact, Ely people so seldom n heard of the highway that they regarded it as a route that would never be tributary to this section, but during the past two years this condition has been changed and at the present time it seems probable that Ely will in the future receive greater benefit from the n highway than it will from the Lincoln highway until after the Sieberling cut-ohas been improved by the state of Utah which now seems to be several years hence. H. D. Judson, general manager of n the highway, who in Utah last week, is quoted by the Beaver News as saying that notwithstanding the fact that the map recently issued by the Salt Lake Tribune routed the highway via Salt Lake, thence north to Ogden, the road is routed from Grand Junction, Colorado, through Salina Canyon to Richfield and Beaver. Mr. Judson states that those who wish to go to Salt Lake can do so from Price and then take the Arowffiead trail south to Beaver, but that the official routing is through Salina Canyon to BeaOcean-to-Oce- an Ocean-to-Ocea- t 1 1 for the first grande promenade of the Utah 40-which means that there will be plenty of good legion fellowship.

The biggest attractions vere offermen and their ed to Utah ladies are being announced for the state conventions of the American Legion and Auxiliary that will be held in Price August It is now certain that National Commander Alvin M. Owsley of the American Legion will be there. It s also positive that Dr. Kate Waller Barrett, national president of the Auxiliary and E. J. Eivers, national hef de chemin de fer of the Forty and Eight will be present. Besides these attractions there lave been arranged a parade that vill make a regimental guard mount 'ook like a rainy reveille; a trip to Tiawatha and through the famous Black Hawk mine; receptions, balls ind Mardi Gras, initiations some-hin- g good every minute not taken up n convention sessions. 8, ce ATTEND CONVENTION Miss Stena Scorup, mayor of Salina, and Miss Hazel Allred, city 'reasurer, went to Heber City Wednesday to be present at the conven-io- n of the Municipal league which neets at that city today and tomor-ow- . They will attend all the sessions and the object of the visit is to become familiar with the proceedings of the organization. Mrs. A. J. Lewis, who recently returned from a vacation trip to Port-'an- d and other Oregon cities and the Yellowstone park, was in Salina last week for a brief visit to Dr. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis went to Salt Lake Sunday and was accompanied by here coirThad, who spent the early summer here with his father. -- Ocoan-to-Ocea- ff Ocean-to-Ocea- ver. Now, the important part to Ely and all central Nevada in connection is the fact that Beaver is almost directly east of Ely, and only one days drive from here over a splendid natural road, which has been greatly improved during the past year, and also tourists who arrive at Beaver from the east and are bound for northern California will find the road through Ely not only the shortest, but also decidedly the best to the coast. And even those who are bound for southern California, when properly informed of conditions, will prefer to come by Ely instead of making the four hundred mile drive across the desert sections of south- ern Utah and Nevada during the summer months, when the mercury registers from 100 to 120 degrees in the shade and tnere is no shade except at camping stations. The same argument also applies to tourists going east from the coast. No section of the west has been more liberally advertised during the past two years than southern Utah, and the result is that that section is now attracting thousands of tourists who are making the trip from coast to coast. Many of these people have previously viewed Great Salt Lake and do not care to see it again, while many others care nothing for a view of salt water and marshes, hence they will give the and continue y capital city the on their way across the continent. Of course, this will prove quite a serious loss to tjIV City, which has persistently fUught any road gJ-b- 1 "s - west fiom there leading into Nevada. Had Salt Lake treated the Lincoln highway fairly, it would by this time have been a boulevard to the Nevada state line, but that was not the plan of the bunch of highway wreckers who have for years past dominated the state highway commission and spent the states money in improving the Arrowhead trail. Now that a cut-ohas been secured from Green River west to Beaver it ff would seem that Salt Lake City is about to be hoisted high and dry by its own petard, and it serves them darn well right at that. Travel, like water, will seek its natural outlet or the route of least resistance. If tourists can save a hundred miles crossing Utah and at the same time behold the natural wonders of the southern part of the state probably of them will eliminate Salt Lake from their itinerary, even though they might have previously planned to visit the capital. In this connection the Record desires to call attention to the fact that there will be a grand celebration at Cedar City, Utah on the 17th, to which a cordial invitation to attend was extended to the Ely Chamber of commerce some weeks ago by a delegation representing several counties of central Utah which visited Ely with the desire of awakening an intrest in this section on behalf of n the These highway. gentlemen from central Utah are as bitter against the Salt Lake bunch of road wreckers as are Nevada residents along the Lincoln highway and nine-tent- Ocean-to-Ocea- the Midland trail. They mean business and want to aid us in every way possible to secure tiavel from both east and west which now, and for years to come, will spend a portion of the summer months in southern Utah. Steps have already been taken to send a delegation to this meeting, at which road matters will be discussed, in which the county ol White Pine will be represented by one or more members of the board of county commissioners, and perhaps all of them. It is to be hoped that White Pine county will be able to send a strong delegation to this meeting the larger the better. Aside from the good which may be accomplished for this section, such a tiip would prove a pleasant outing, as an opportunity would be given to visit the Grand canyon of the Colorado and other scenic beauties of that section. Also it may be mentioned that there is splendid fishing ing that section, equal to anything in Idaho or Montana. The cost is estimated at approximately $lfr,00f) and the city will participate to the extent of $4000, thus making the burden on the individual property owners along the line of the proposed imThe property to be affected provement, comparatively light. by the improvement shall be all of the real estate extending back to the middle of the block on either side of Main street and east one block, and the assessment shall not exceed $6798 per front foot. This will include the curb and gutter. The entire amount and interest shall be made in ten installments, according to the notice of intention, and the first will fall due in fifty days, after the contract for the improvement has been awarded. The balance of the assessment will be asked in ten annual equal payments. Th final date for hearing protests, should there be any, has been set for August 9. Shortly work will be started on the paving of a mile and a half on State through Salina, this being a federal project and to keep abreast with the progress set by. the city, there is every reason that the Main thoroughare of the city undergo the improvement as With the state highway paved to the west and a block proposed. to the east, Salina would rank with many of the larger cities in the improvement line and for this reason thfere should never be a dis senting voice raised against the improvement. , ! i For Cavalry Boil enthusiasm to the estabof a cavalry unit for Sashown Wednesday night at meeting of citizens held at Social hall. While the atendance was not as large as wa3 expected those present got back of the proposition ' squarely and will put forth every effort to have the military branch brought to this city. Ilans were made to go after the cavalry unit and to this end a committee was named to talk over the matter among the citizens of Salina, Redmond and Aurora and to urge the importance of having the branch here. tFhis committee consists of J. Beck, Owen Muipliy, Bud leleison, John Jensen and Max Cohen. Two delegates will he named for Auiora and Redmond. Dr. C.

An unusually enthusiastic stake conference for the North' Sevier Stake were held at Salina last Saturday. Stephen L. Richrads of the quoroum of Twelve Apostles and Judge Charles S Hart of Salt Lake City were in attendance, delivering splendid .addresses at all sessions. Judge Harts principal theme was the divinity of the work of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the historical background surrounding the pro phets life. Apostle Richards dwelt upon the power of example and the neccesity of harmony and love in social. Both speakers were at their best and had the undivided attention and interest of the large audience present at each sesion. The other visitors present were James M. Petersen, Robert Young, Ileber Christensen of Richfield and Ephraim Mag-elb- y and James Ware of Monroe. Moroni Lazenby, president of North Sevier stake, was in charge, and all musical numbers were furnished by the stake choir, which was directed by stake chorister, James C. Jensen. The musical numbers were appropriate and Varied, consisting of solos, duets, choruses and At the noon intermissions the multitude present were the guests of the Rehef Societies of Salina at luncheon served in cafeteria style on the lawn in the church park.
