Little girls in crisp new white dresses wondered how to spend the few celebration pennies given them, which, because of their scarcity, seemed like a fortune. And municipal goings on! We think we have festivities nowadays! Will we - have a mock Indian battle as good as the legendary one in Ephraim? Somebody donated an old horse to pull a wagon for - the Indians to raid, but the old chief was drunk, and, instead of putting a merciful end to the nag, he shot it through the fywdiose and caused it to run away with the ' burning covered wagon. Will we see such a thing as a man , sliding by his teeth from the Walker Bank tower? Do we have a 5:45 a.m. train to Saltair carrying 400 passengers, nearly all of whom rushed for the bath houses," as The Tribune for that year read? Can we hear an oration by "The Peerless Silver Champion, Col. B. F. Montr gomery or his like? Will there be a Grand Ball? A Lady lion tamer? A Balloon Ascension? . Probably not, sad to say. But in these days of, safety ordinances, inflation, air conditioning and plastiCt if Ao enjoy the Twenty-fourtof July as much as did our predecessors, it will be because we have just as much frontier Ingenuity as they did. h Air riV:,A' REHSOjr. mile 15 cakas Dt7TCHif. &?&TETT- - min. aancvh, blue BELL.
