SALINA, JUNE UTAH, FRIDAY, Ladies' Literary Salina Canyon Club Elect's ProRailroad Construcgram Committee The Ladies Literary club has en the following program committee to prepare the programs for the next three months: Mrs. John R. Ewles, chairman; Mrs. Joseph A. Anderson, Mrs. Herod Crane and Mrs. Edmond These ladies Martin as assistants. will prepare the program for the club meeting to be held at the home of Mrs John r. Ewles on July 1 at 3 oclock. All members of the club are requested to be there at the appointed time. No program. has been definite- Iy outlined at the time this paper goes press but the committee assures a reaj entertainment. j What large an amount of business can be transacted and what a great deal of subjects matters can be dis- . cussed in the short time of an hour was clearly demonstrated at the meet- ing of the Lions club when school and road matters came in for their share in the discussion, splendid talks by Joseph Hickman of Bicknell, repreand sentative to the state legislature, Attorney 0. R. Michelsen on the natural wonders of Wayne county were listened to after which the club decided to cooperate with the Richfield Commercial club in a formal opeaing of the Wayne county dland, at- to talk a by the eui-- , tention was paid of idea the on tor bringing next year s convention of the Utah State Press association to Salina and he was authorized to convey the necessary invitation, and all this in addition to enjoying the usual evening lunch, served in the Main cafe. LionDr c! Leo Merrill presided.. Messers Hickman and Michelsen were the guests and guest speakers of the evening. Jorgensen called attention to a strenuous campaign of opponents to the school bond issue and invited the educational committee of the club to a meeting Monday night to consider measures for counteracting the campaigning of the other side. Referring to the clubs going on record as favoring the Immediate gravel surfacing of the road in case 'paving cannot be obtained, Joseph F. Peterson explained that the state road commission had allotted the money set aside for the project to another county when the farm bureau protested against the new survey near Aurora and no money will be available for Sevier county until after the 1927 appropriation. Upon motion by Lion Jorgensen the road committee was instructed to investigate more fully the action by the state road commission which seems to taste somewhat after autocracy and then to cooperate with the county commissioners and other interested factors, like the Richfield Commercial club, in bringing the matter to a head. Ye editor spoke of the advertising value it would have for Salina if the editors of the state could be induced to hold their summer convention in 1926 in Salina, and was authorized to extend an invitation to the Utah State Press association at the occasion of their convention in Logan next July. The club also conditionally appropriated an amount of $50.00 to help defray the expenses of entertaining the editors in case they come to our city next year. The floor then was given to Representative Hickman who in a splendid address gave a fine word picture of the gorgeous natural beauties and scenic, archaeological and geological wonders of Wayne county. He showed how the expensive advertising campaign conducted for Zions canyon, Cedar Breaks and Bryce canyon resulted in an enormous tourist traffic to the benefit of the people west of the mountain and invited the club to assist in advertising the Wayne county scenery. The Sun wrote about the Unique and distinctive scenery in prev-- f Dis issues and for this reason it won't ; necessary to tell about it again. ' fr. Hickman concluded in stating riat matters in regard to an official will be talked Lnd formal opening over at a dinner given to the Richclub by Manager field Commercial Chas. Skougaard of the Fishlake Resort Co. next Saturday evening and requesting the Lions to be there and take part in the deliberation and to cooperate in putting the unexcelled scenery on the map. Attorney Michelsen very eloquently pleaded for the same cause and the club then pledged full support to the laudable efforts of Mr. Hickman. S. M.

The work has been sponsored by the Home and Community club and much credit is due the members in their unfailing efforts to make hat making a success in this community. During the short course seventy-fivhats have been made by different women of this community, and although regular meetings will not be held during the summer months work will be done in the homes in the vav of helping others to learn the art of hat making. Mrs. Charles Mickelson won the distinction .of having made the most hats during the season. Others who received honorable mention were Mrs. John Bird, Mrs. Jay Crane and Mrs Frands Mattsson. All the hats the ladies made were finished at a considerably lower price than regular milliners creations cost. It was the idea of cutting the cost of summer hats that so many were made and a saving of from 25 to 50 per cent e was accomplished. The success of the demonstrations is due largely to the support of the different ladies clubs in the city and to Mrs. Chester Meyers who willingly gave he assistance to the art. She is well trained in the designing and trimming of hats, and much good was derived from the interesting discussions she gave at the meetings. During the hot summer months hat making will be discontinued but when fall comes more demonstrations will be given along these same lines. Petitioning For Segregation F rom City A number of Salina citizens who had applied to the city council for segregation of their farm lands from the city in order to save the high city taxes which they claimed are not in any way beneficial to them have now submitted a petition to the sixth judicial court requesting the court to issue an order placing their farm lands outside of the city limits. The city council had suggested a compromise to the effect to lower the taxes for the respective lands but to leave them in the city proper. This compromise was not to the liking of the farm owners and they are now petitioning the court to order the segregation. The acreage to be segregated is about 800 acres owned by about half a dozen citizens with farming pursuits. In the court action the city will be represented by City Attorney H. E. Beal and the petitioners by the Richfield law firm of Bean and Hunt. Miss Bell Webb entertained six of her small friends at a dinner party Tuesday of this week, complimentary to Miss ArDella Merrill, who left for her home in Richmond Wednesday. Misses Yetive Gledhill and Delene Nielson of Richfield spent the first part of the week in Salina visiting friends and relatives.

The news that the Consolidated Coal Co. had reached the master vein spread like wild fire not only over Salina but all over Sevier and San- IISCIKIK T gevent fiye Hats Made and a of From 23 to 50 Per- Attained CO. A Salina girl, Miss LaRita Christensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Christensen was married at San Francisco on June 20, to Don Scally, a well known business man of that city. A wedding breakfast followed Information was received here last night, while the Lions club was in session, to the effect that construction work on the Salina canyon railroad will commence on July 1. This important piece of news was telephoned by General Manager H. E. Lewis of the Sevier Valley Coal Co. to Cashier H. B. Crandall of the Salina State Bank Thursday evening and Mr. Crandall immediately transmitted it to the Lions club. The information was to the effect that Mr. Lewis had interviews with J. D. Stack, general superintendent of the D. & R. G. Western railroad, with the j Number mi tion Starts July chos- 26, 1923 15-fo- ot I pete counties and from the moment an extra edition of The Sun had announced the fact a steady stream of people hied themselves up the canyon to see for themselves and to congratulate the management on the achievement. General Manager R. M. Lehman almost immediately after the tapping of the vein left for Salt Lake City to confer with officials of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad company on the subject of an early completion of the canyon branch of the railroad, as a large tonnage of coal from the big vein will be ready for shipment in not too distant a time and transportation will have to be provided for. To properly celebrate the discovery of the vein, Mr. Lehman invited the people of Sevier and adjoining counties to 'come up to the mine and partake in the hospitality of the management. Saturday and Sunday was set for the doings and the invitation was followed by a mass of people that on the two days must have reached the thousand mark. At one time Saturday afternoon one visitor who has statistical inclinations counted at the camp 63 automobiles, five saddle horses and several trucks and wagons that had brbught people up. The visitors inspected the mine in all its parts and some of them even ventured down the 300 feet to the bottom of the shaft and the about 325 feet of tunnel to the newly discovered vein. Mr. Lehman was guide and mentor and with the happy smile of the discoverer gave the necessary explanations. He also stated that his conference with J. D. Stack, general superintendent of the D. & R. G. Western railroad was perfectly satisfactory and that there is no doubt in his mind of an early start of the construction work. After inspecting the mines the visitors were taken to the camps dining room where Mrs. R. M. Lehman, the presidents wife, played charming hostess to the guests.' A profusion of substantial as well as dainty refreshments were ready to satisfy the appetites sharpened by the strenuous inspections. Tuesday morning Mr. Lehman went t9 Salt Rake City- a&Mn to continue his conferences with the railroad officials. In the meantime the working force at the camp is busy reinforcing and widening the tunnel leading to the vein and preparing everything for production on a large scale when transportation will be provided for, - I- - ! Salina Tigers Defeat Joseph Team The Salina Tigers added another victory to the list of their successes Sunday when they played at the Joseph diamond with the Joseph team In spite of the as their opponents. rain that for a while threatened to make the game impossible, the Tigers went on merrily slugging, keeping up a safe lead from start to finish. The final score was 12 to 3. Sunday the Tigars will play on the home grounds against the Ephraim team. The Ephraimites have a reputation of fast and accurate players and the game, therefore, promises to be an exciting one. Our boys will need every ounce of support our rooters can give them. e Special Sunday- Only Excursions Commencing Sunday, June 21 and continuing each Sunday to and including September 27,.. Denver & Rio Grande Western will sell round trip tickets, good Sunday only, between all stations on its lines in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico where the one way fare does not exceed $6.00, at a rate of one fare plus 25 cents for the round trio; no tickets to be sold for less than $2.00.
