Show VOL. 6. J. C. SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, No. 51. Rank Tactics Used By Big Powers to Route Traveling Public Wrong Ota Bins Mejlm System C. J. Olsen, a well known young' business man and who has been associated with the forest service for a number of years, has purchased a controlling interest in the Salina Telephone company and about the first of June he will assume charge of affairs. The amount involved in the transaction is not made public at this time. Mr. Olsen announces that it will be his policy to make a number of improvements throughout the entire at system and that the Redmond and Aurora will be greatly improved, together with the lines and accommodations in this city. Other improvements necessary will be determined after the new owner takes possession the first of the coming month. For the past five years Mr. Olsen has been with the forst service, and for two years he has been at Fish lake. Just recently he returned from Kaibab forest where he had been doing special work. He has a wide circle of acquaintances, is capable and efficient and with the cooperation of the public, he will surely give his patrons splendid service with his telephone system. sub-statio- Medal n Avails Proves Novell! The awarding of medals to class members of the graduating class standing highest in examinations, public speaking, athletics and other standards of the school, proved an interesting event in the history of Salina. The awarding of the medals was held Wednesday and it was marked with much enthusiasm. The Lions club of Salina, Superintendent Ashman, the Ladies of the LProgres-sclub, the city council of Salina, the city council of Aurora, the city council of Redmond, Miss Stena Seorup and C' Ray Evans, comprised the list of donors of the pins and other tokens given to the fortunate students. Possibly the most coveted award is that of scholarship. The boy and the girl who had made the highest average during four years in North Sevier will receive a pin. Don Cooper of Aurora a young man who is a brilliant scholar, made an average of A minus. The Lions club of Salina presented him an award. Helen Anderson of Salina, received also a grade of A minus. The Ladies club presented an award to Helen. Other coveted awards are those jjiven for public speaking. Mr. Ashman offered the Ashman Medal for the best speech given on May 10 al Richfield. Unfortunately North Sevier did not win this medal, but four other medals were given, one for the best speech made in each class. Mary Mattsson received the freshman medal, presented by the City Council of Salina; Earis Hanson, the sophomore medal, presented by the City Council of Aurora; Angeline Funk, the junior medal, presented by the City Council of Redmond; Raymond Dahlsrud, the senior medal, presented by Miss Stena Seorup. In addition to these the student-bodpiesented the following awards: honor sweaters were given to Raymond Dahlsrud, Angus McDonald, Lyle McDonald, John Johnson, and Nyles Christensen for exceptional valor in athletics; Beulah Breinholt, Esther Johnson, Rowena Johnson, Fred Mickelson and James Ivie, received awards for having played lead parts in opera for three different years; a special award was given to Cless Mortenson for her diligent and excellent writing for The Salina Sun and The Richfield Reaper Principal C. Ray Evans presented a medal to Wayne Taylor, the all star athlete. Special musical numbers for the Award Day event was furnished by Clayton Harward, who gave a solo. G. M. Wright sang a solo and Milton ePterson concluded with a cornet solo. Valter Wilkinson, Jr., who is operating the Iliram Anderson farm on the west detour, if he pays heed to the admonition given him by Justice (f the Peace John Ameson, will hereafter be more careful in allowing his waste irrigation water to flood the highways. Walter, notwithstanding the fact that he, with all other farmers operating farms along that particular piece of road, were advised and cautioned about allowing the water to get away and flood the roads. The advice, however, proved He of little effect with Wilkinson. did as he was forbid and as a result he was arrested, taken before the justice of the peace and it cost Walter just ten bucks for being disobedient. Due to the fact that Gray & Murdock are closing up the gap of concrete paving between Salina and Redmond, it has been necessary to detour. Two outlets were provided one to the east and one leading west and around the Redmond lake. Owing to the west route being the shorter many chose that road and travel has been comparatively heavy. Several repairs were made and as a precaution against flooding the highways, Jos. F. Peterson, chairman of the board of county commissioners warned all farmers to use the utmost care in the distribution of the irrigation waters and to avoid flooding. Wilkinson was the first to disregard the caution and for his forgetfulness he was fined $10. A crew of men were put to work and in addition to the damage done by the flooding, other repairs have been made and the highway is again passable. The east road too, has been improved and those coming from the north and wishing to visit Salina will find the east route fairly good for a detour. two-mi- le o y 4 MAY 23, 1924. sax-apho- Something is decidedly rotten with someone who is in authority in routing travel through ceitain parts of Utah, and if this rottenesa is allowed to continue your state is surely going to be a loser. It is high time that you fellows in the southern part of Utah in particular, get up in arms and declare yourselves against the unjust discrimination, declared A. F. Clark, a prominent traveler from Santa Monica, California. Mr. Clark passed through this city Wednesday and when he ai rived he was happy in the thought that he had chosen Ocean-to-Ocea- I tin (Otrrtftt ir y) Salina Citizens Will Observe Memorial Day Salina will observe Memorial Day in a fitting manner and to the end of making it one long to be remembered plans are now under way to carry out an appropriative program and to decorate the graves of the unknown, the soldier dead and the loving relatives who have passed on. At a meeting held at the Sond ward chapel last Sunday afternoon, and at which John Ameson acted as chairman, and Dr. C. E. West as secretary, committees were named for the several posts to carry out the program and other features which will mark the elaborate celebration. Others attending the Sunday meeting were Frank Heibert, John R. Ewles, John Bird, Mrs. 11. S. Gates and Mrs. James Monroe. After plans had been tentatively arranged the following committees were named: Mrs. James Monroe, chairman; Committee on Decorations Mrs. Henry McKenna, Mrs. Thomas Peterson, Mrs. E. C. Wright, Mrs. H. S. Gates, Mrs. Leo Merrill, Miss Mary McCallum, Dr. C. E. West and John Bird. Committee on Program Frank Herbert, chairman; J. C. JenI. Oveson, A. C.

It took clever planning and skillful maneuvering to learn this play in five days. Fortunately, the members of the class had learned practically all of the play last year, when they studied it so thoroughly besides these young people are unexcelled tiagic players. Therefore they presented this play in fine style. This unusual production was presented in the auditorium on Monday, Mayr 19, to an enthusiastic audience. s The witches, Cless Mortenson, Christensen, and Evador Nelson, made the high school building fairly tremble with their nigh falsetto voices, their thunderings, and their Little Willie Macbeth prophecies. was played by Clayton Harward, the pride of the senior class. His doting mama was no other than the beautiful Montess Christensen, a most tragic character. Milton Peterson, both Santa Claus and s was a wreck by the end of scene 4, for he was butler announcer, and cornetist. McDuff, the cruel, redheaded Irishman was played by Don Prominent members of the Cooper. cast, seniors great and gorgeous were Alta Christensen, Beulah Breinholt, Gordon Monroe, John Stewart, Fred Mickelson, and others. The faculty was also represented well in this play Macbeth, called Macbeth a la Mode Fred Mickelson impersonated Mr. Evans to perfection except he looked rather thin and gaunt for Mr. Evans. Mr. Swenson scarcely recognized himself until rtaymond Dahlsrud shouted, Keep Quiet! The charming Miss Bates was no other than modest Clara Draper. Other members of the faculty were qu;et but they were all in this tragic Mon-tes- Flea-Ant- Macbeth. The scenery and costumes were elaboiate, in other words gorgeous. The football game marked the climax of the play, after which the seniors sang The Crimson and Blue. Mrs. N. P. Rasmussen of Ruth, Nev., is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. James Kane, for a week or ten days. n 1 w That unexcelled class of 24 has at last succeeded in presenting the Pikes Peak highway and through Salina canyon, and on the other hand he was highly indignant because some guy had tried to give him the wrong routing. vVhen arrived in Utah and one the other side, I was told that Salina cr nyon was impassable and was advised to no firmly noith if I would t boose good roads to reach my destination. 1 am headed for Fort Woith, Texas, and that steering bunch told me to make my way up through Utah and into Wyoming. Regardless of the information that 1 received I chose Salina canyon and am mighty well pleased that did not take the advice given me as to the other route. It is high time something was done and I have no hesitancy in saying that it is a disgrace anil a shame that such tactics should be used. Utah is to be a drawing card and the southern part is to be the ace card. Your scenic wonders are marvels and most every traveler you meet has Utah or some of the scenic parts in mind. 1 want to say, and I hope every tourist and traveler in the United States learns the facts, that the road chosen rather than the one advised, is by far the best traveled over since leaving my home at Santa Monica. You can quote me as saying that the tactics used boosters are decidedly raw and that if by some of your would-bit is continued Utah is going to he the loser. The expressions of Mr. Clark are a repitition of what has often happened befoie. Every resident of Southern Utah well knows the efforts that are being put forth by the big kink in discouraging travel over the highways of Southern Utah and for what reason, other than to hammer one particular section for the purpose of advancing another, and display rotten discrimination, it is not known. Southern Utdh has suffered and is suffering very materially as a result of the influence brought to bear by some of the big bugs in constantly knocking the Salina canyon route and the fact that complaints have been entered and protests made the knocking game goes merrily on. But the facts leading to the cause and the continued practices are to be thoroughly investigated. At the regular luncheon meeting of the Salina Lions dub last evening the matter was taken up. The acts of routing tourists and travelers wrongfully and condemning Salina canyon as being impassable, was severely condemned. To the end of getting squarely at the bottom and to ascertain who is to blame, the investigation was turned over to the Civics committee. This committee, in addition to having a sign placed (if the powers will permit it) at a convenient point at Cove Fort, telling the travelers just what the road conditions are, the time that can be saved and the wonderful and pleasant conditions that will be found by traveling through Sevier county and out through Salina canyon. Not alone will the committee carry out the above program but it will visit the state road commission officials and put the matter squarely before that body. Salina Lions Al S.L.
