Show SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, VOL. 6. NOVEMBER 9, 1923. No. 23. - Elected Mayor The Republican party made a clean sweep of the city election. Tuesday, with the exception of the four-yea- r councilman, Hyrum Crane, Democrat, defeating P. C. Scorup by a narrow margin of 11 votes. Mr Barnard, our new mayor, is a business man of proven ability and is a man for the place now in these times of, financial strain. Careful administration of public affairs is needed to carry the country through these next few years and it is evident that the majority of the citizens of Salina feel that Mr. Barnard is the man to do this. Bishop Peterson ran a close second as will be seen by the appended tpble. All the other officials elected are people of proven worth and assure a conservative administration that will do honor to the city. The results of the election is tabulated as in Salina encampment of the Daughters of Pioneers held a most interesting and profitable meeting, Wednesday afternoon in the First ward meeting house. Mrs. Flora B. Horne, state president, was present and gave the main address of the afternoon. The state corresponding secretary, Miss Susie Heath, is Mrs. Horne on her tour and also addressed the meeting. Mrs. Horne urged the members to write biographical sketches of their pioneer relatives, it being the purpose of the society to continue this work until the history of every pioneer is recorded, making a most complete history of the state of Utah. Mrs. Minnie Anderson read a sketch of the life of her mother, Mrs. Mary Johnson Parsons. Mrs. Parsons came out to Utah with the handcart company when a child of seven and lost both legs by freezing in a terrible storm that overtook the marchers, suffering great hardships in the early days. A solo by Mrs. E .C. Wright and a reading by Mrs. Ohpel-i- a Forshee were both much enjoyed. In the vening, Mrs. Horne gave a lecture illustrated by lantern slides in the second ward meeting house. The pictures shown are some that have been collected the past sereval years by Mrs. Horne and depict many scenes in the history of the church. Many are taken at and near Hill Commorah, which has been revered more than ever this year, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the church.

To fittingly celebrate the completion of the paving of Main Street, the city council at their meeting Saturday night, decided that a barbecue and dance on the new pavement on that day would fill the bill as well as anything that could be devised. The new lighting system will be in place by that time and the stage will be set for a real celebra- The Salina Free health clinic opened continued and Saturday of Salt Barber Dr. Monday. through Lake being the officiating doctor. He was assistted by Mrs. Nelson and Miss Hanson trained nurses from Salt Lake as well as the local nurses, Mrs. Leo Merrill, Mrs. Albert Thor-se- n and Mrs. Alvin Swanson. For a beginning, the clinic was a great success, 46 children and two adults were examined and treatment recommended. If the instruction of the examining doctor are carried out, this clinic will mean a great deal to the good health of our town. The same doctor and nurses expect to be back about the first of January to conduct another clinic. In some manner the list of officers of the local organization was omitted from last weeks writeup to we are giving it this week. Mrs. James Monroe, president; Mrs. C. E. West, Mrs. Oscar Anderson, secretary; Mrs. Blaine Bettison, Mrs. Carl D. Swenson and Miss Mary McCallum, clerks. tion. Mayor Stena Scorup appointed Councilman J. C. Jensen chairman of the executive committee. He, with the assistance of the other members of the council, will appoint various committees necessary and attend to all details of the celebration. Plans have not yet been completly formulated but it is expected that the barbecue will take place in the afternon and the dance will occupy the eve- M?am fawn ning. The Gunnison Valley Sugar company officials of Salt Lake, instead of making the first beet payment on the 10th of November, as promised, advanced the plans four days and yesterday more than $125,000 was dis- tributed among the farmers and beet growers of the valley. The beet checks were sent out from the main offices Tuesday and yesterday the office clerks and assistants at the factory were busy forwarding the checks to the lucky growers. The payment is in settlement for the October beet deliveries and for each ton delivered last month the company is paying $5.50. Generally the harvest was well advanced during last month and only on one occasion was it necessary to suspend work in the fields on account of inclement weather. This, however, did not last long and many of the fanners with smaller acreages made clean-up- s before the severe weather starts. Extra trucks and all available teams are being pressed into service and the beets now in the fields ready for transportation to the factory will be rushed with all speed. In a few instances at the inland patches growers are siloing and these will be held as the final run at the factory. Splendid results are being obtained at the factory and many new records are being established. Last Saturday was the biggest day for slicing, the high point of 725 tons having been sent through the mill. The campaign thus far is highly satisfactory in so far as the factory is concerned, but the run will be cut short on account of the lack of tonnage. It is expected the campaign will close about the Gunnison Valmiddle of December. ley News. Big Cattle Shipment J. A. Scorup, one of Utahs prominent stock growers, Saturday shipped from Salina to J. E. Vicery of Grand s Junction five fundred feeders. This is the largest consignment of cattle ever shipped by one individual from Salina. Mr. Scorup left Sunday morning for Indian Creek San Juan County, where he will ship six hundred steers to Kansas City. Mr. Scorup, now of Provo, is a native of Salina. He is at present one of the largest stock grower of both Sevier and San Juan counties. His cattle ranch at Lost Creek, and ideal place for winter feeding three miles south of Salina, consists of 1800 acres of land and is stocked with at least one thousand cattle. He also owns a controlling interest in the large cattle ranch, Indian Creek, in San Juan County, consisting of two thousand acres of patented land and five thousand cattle. first-clas- Dance Popular The election dance Tuesday evening was a decided success. The old time dances seemed to be very popular and the fun kept up until a late hour. Bills are out announcing a real frolic for next Monday evening, when a ' Spot Dance will be given in the for all ball, providing a lot of i J. A. Scorup has already volunteered the contribution of a steer for the occasion. It will be up to everybody to get behind the council with various contributions according to needs of the committees and put over an affair that will be a credit to the town and a source of pleasure to all who attend. There will undoubtedly be a big crowd and everything wijl be done on a big scale. The councilors are all enthusiastic and will spare no effort to make this celebration that it deserves to be. Salina is rightfully proud of their main street state. The seal sale plans this year are and are fully justified in jubilating. larger and more comprehensive than for any preceeding sale, according to Mr. Wallis. This is necessary, he says, to put over the program for the coming years work. This year the compaign, for the financing of which the seal sale is held, will take on intensive aspects of constructive work.

His departure from the store will be regretted but as he is not leaving town, the patrons of the store will be equally satisfied with hifc successor and will visit Mr. Peterson in the bank, where he expects to be located in a few days. H Sbw te Red Cross to Reorganize The officials of the Salina Red will hold a meeting for the purpose of reorganizing and appointing committees for the Roll Call which starts the 11th. Salina has had a very active Red Cross Society and it would be too bad to lose the charter. It is a very good plan to keep the organization although not much is being done so that in an emergency no time will be lost in getting started. For this reason this meeting is called and President Dr. Freece is anxious that there should be a full turnout. Cross y To Attend Convention. L. G. Anderson left Wednesday for Salt Lake City, going from there to St. Louis to attend the convention of the United States Blind Veterans of the World War, which convenes in the Missouri city on the 12th of this month, continuing until the 17th. He will return via Chicago and other important cities of the middle west. Mrs. Anderson is spending the time of his absence with l natives at Provo. i Work Going Forward Work on the P .C.
