Show tenth year SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1927 Salina Lions By PI Rail President Raps State Road Commission On the Canyon Highway Larp Majarily Slain Tie Fellies At V Salina taxpayers voiced their approval for a better water works system and the action of the city council last Saturday, when they voted for the $25,000 bond issue. The bonds carried by a substantial majority, the vote showing 130 for as 30 against. The election could not be classed as a lively one, there being no demonstrations and no political heeling, the citizens going quietly to the polls and voting their approval and disapproval. It was a splendid victory and all Salina is now rejoicing that the water conditions are to be greatly improved. The returns from district 14, showed 82 votes cast. Of this number 72 favored the bonds, while ten voted adversely. District 15 saw a larger poll, 115 exercising their franchise. With the taxpayers approval of the water improvement the city officials have already started plans for carrying out the big project of replacing the old and inadequate water mains. Bids have been asked for the furnishing of 12,000 feet of eight-inc- h h pipe and also 12,000 feet of pipe. A comparative price of the two styles of pipe will be made and final decision made after bids have been received. Further study of the conditions have been made and if it h is found that a pipe will be large enough, then it will be used instead of the eight-incIn the event h the pipe will be found adequate to spply the city, then a big saving wrill be made to the taxpayers. It is the plan to advance the wrork as rapidly as possible and to this end a working crew will be started at once and operations will continue as long as weather conditions., will per. mit. Local labor will be employed on the job and by this means much of the bond money will be kept at home. Citizens of Salina can lay aside all grief and sorrow, forget their troubles, debts and everything else and get ready for a When the grading and laying of less, as it will be hazardous for anyon the branch line in Salina one to travel by auto or any other j as many of the crossings are canyon is completed, and unless there way, obscured by projecting points or high is action by the Utah State road embankments.

Never in the history of the city has any celebration been so successfully staged and it is doubtful if any place in the state enjoyed more hospitality than was shown by the Salina Legion, post 36, when they gave the masses a time that will go whirlwind down in history as a success. The streets were gaily decorated with the Legion flag standards and many of the business houses placed the colors in conspicuous places and the streets presented, a patriotic holiday attire, and in keeping with the occasion. Long before the time for the program was to start, the streets became crowded with celebrators and as time passed visitors from Gunnison, Richfield, Redmond, Aurora, Delta, Fillmore, Mt. Pleasant and other towns and hamlets began to arrive and all joined, and patriotically, to make the day a merry one. A beautiful day, with a flood of warmth from a clear sky, added much to the success of the celebration. Salinas crack band was out in force at 1:45 and after a short program the exercises were opened at The meeting the Victory theatre. place was crowded to capacity and many were unable to gain admittance, as standing room was at a premium. This part of the days program , was opened by Post Commander Emmett Robins. Mr. Robins after a brief talk and expressing the appreciation extended by the citizens of Salina, introduced the visiting state Legion officers. State Commander Ted Littlefield, State Adjutant O. A. Weisley and State Sergeant at Arms Walsh and Darrell T. Lane, past State Commander, were those of the officials introduced by Commander Robins. Darrell T. Lane was the orator of the day, and in his address he gave the highest praise for the wonderful way the Salina boys do things. He had kept close tab on the local Leg good-natured- ly ; inter-spere- j ret-erso- ' n, run-awn- two-cour- I No. 21 "Va1 and murderous to attempt to run heavy trains up and down the canyon. This was the rap given the state road commission by J. S. Pyeatt, president of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad company to a Sun representative Wednesday. President Pyeatt, A. C. Shields, general manager; S. L. Racey, division superintendent; II. C. Cosand, division engineer, and A. Barnes, roadmaster, came in from the north Tuesday and after a trip of inspection through the canyon, yent to Marysvale. The party returned north Wednesday. We had contemplated completing the branch during the coming year, but if this is done, matters in so far as the highway are concerned,' will have to undergo a radical change, continued President Pyeatt. In the building thus far, we have been greatly hampered in our efforts to keep the highway opened and we have gone to extra expense to do this very thing. The state road commission should be urged to give some heed to this matter and give cooperation in providing a safe highway for the thousands of travelers who the canyon every year, and unless they do, and providing trains are eventually started, the canyon highway will be use i The campaign mapped out for this year, President Pyeatt stated, would be carried out and that work of constructing the grade would be continued until the first of the year. W. C. Rhoads, resident engineer for the rail company, told a Sun reporter yesterday that the grading was now within three and a half miles of the goal, and that if weather conditions permitted it would be possible to have the grade completed within two miles of the coal companys property by the first of the year. Splendid progress has been made and during September and October, going through some heavy jCuts and fills, more than a mile and a half was completed. The huge pile driver, which has been in service in Carbon county for the past several weeks, arrived in Salina yesterday. Steel girders for the bridge across Salina creek were also received. Piling and other materials are on the ground, and Mr. Rhoads stated that work would be started at once on building the bridge. With this work completed, steel laying will be started and it is proposed to lay the rails on the new grade to a point five or six miles in the canyon. i(Golden Spike Driven On Redmond Branch Some thirty of Salmas leading plant is to be modem in every rebusiness and professional men, learn- - spect and convenient loading platwill be arranged for carrying ing of the completion of the branch forms line of the Denver & Rio Grande rail- - i the salt to the press and crusher, and road, from Redmond to the immense also for direct loading to the freight salt mines owned and operated by the cars which will carry the product to Great Western Salt company, formed the markets.

The salt press will be used in turning out blocks weighing 50 lbs., and the commodity in this form will be an attraction to the buyer for the and fitness reason of its for display. The press, though, can be adjusted for smaller blocks. A new building, 88x10 feet, is now under construction and the press, as well as other modern appliances for crushing and handling the salt, will be housed in the new structure.
