PORTER At a meeting of the Citizens Club held Monday night T. W. Petersen presiand A. D. Allen were dent and secretary respectively. D. 0. Nielsen was elected as vice president to replace C. F. Olsen. The club voted to amend the bylaws of the organization changing the number on the advisory board to four. II. B. from twenty-fiv- e Nielsen, Clifford Warr, John A. and A. A. Savage were elected to constitute this board. Secretary A. D. Allen gave a report of the activities of the club during the past year. The projects attempted include the following: Effort was made to have a road constructed from the. South Cache high school west to connect Hyrum directly with the highway at the mouth of Sardine canyon. This project has not been completed as yet but the club officers are confident that actioq, will be taken in the near future towards the building of the road. The next project was that of cleaning the lots in the cemetery. After the campaign carried on by the club the Hyrum burial grounds took on a new aspect and at the present time look better than they have done in previous years. Every lot owner either cleaned his property or hired it done. Many former residents sent in checks to pay for some one else to campaign. carry on the clean-u- p The club then turned its attention to the grading of the road in the north field. Through the efforts of the officers the county grader was sent to work on the road and three miles of grading was and one-ha- lf finished which placed the field roads The brush was in good condition. cleared away from the side of the road and the fences repaired. Next on the list of accomplishments was the clearing of the brush from the road in Blacksmiths Fork This work covered the discanyon. tance from the mouth of the canyon to the Danish dugway, about 30 miles. This work was donated by members of the club and saved the county approximately $100. The eyes of the lively organization were then turned to the road from the highway on the east to the mouth of Blacksmiths Fork canyon. This road was graded and placed in good . condition. For years the sheep men of this district have suffered heavy losses from the ravages of the predatory animals. Club officials met with members of the Biological Survey, and asked for their in poisoning the sheep range in smith Fork canyon. The Survey supported by the U. S. government, promised to help the club and 35 horses were furnished by the citizens of Hyrum and placed at various points on the range from Logan canyon south to Ant valley, a distance of 25 miles. It has been estimated by T. W. Petersen and J. B. White, men who have had a great deal of experience with sheep, that this project alone will save the sheep men of this region approximately $20,000. About this time Hyrum found herself without an avenue of expression, in other words a newspaper. Within a few weeks the officers of the club had drawn up an agreement with an experienced newspaperman, C. F. Settle, of the Deseret News, to commence the publication of The Elite Hall Will Appear in New Dress Saturday That part of the public who enjoy dancing as a polite recreation and pleasure, will be delighted with the efforts put forth by the management and owners of the Elite Hall in Hyrum, to make of it a place of refinement and pleasing attraction. At the expenditure of hundreds of dollars, the place has been renovated and repainted, presenting an entirely new color scheme, of attractive, restful decorations from ceiling to floor, including the seating, and the entrance hall. The exterior also has been repainted on all exposed wood trimmings. dance hall Ogdens most orchestra has been engaged for the opening night, Saturday, April 3, and the youth of Hyrum and adjacent communities will undoubtedly flock to their old favorite place of amusement. The Elite won for itself a reputation for being the finest dance hall in northern Utah, and with the added attraction of new and pleasing improvements, and a famous band of musicians we predict the old time big, and enthusiastic crowds happy thronging into this popular and inviting pleasure resort. With the artistic coloring of the surroundings and the unique lighting facilities, the ladies ball room attire and their very complexions will reflect new shades of beauty and attraction. We congratulate the Elite management on their enterprise and progressive spirit. .

The play is under the direction of H. P. Andersen, who also carries one of the leading roles. The Cast has been at work for several weeks preparing the production and now have a finished performance ready to present to the citizens of Hyrum. The theme of the play centers around a very amusing situation. T. Boggs Johns and George B. Nettle-te- n are partners in the pill business. Each one thinks that he is the one that has made the business prosper and they are continually telling each other about it. The quarrel continues until they submit their case to an attorney who makes them a proposition which they agree to. He decides to deal each a hand of cards in a poker game and the loser must act as butler to the other for the period of one year. The most amusing scenes follow. Of course there is a girl in it and she works out a plan whereby each of the parties concerned in the propositions will become disgusted and call for an armistice. The cast includes the following local Thespians!; T. Boggs Johns, Earl W. Allen; George B. Nettleton, Lavon Larsen; Thos. J. Vanderhold, H. P. Andersen; Tony Toler, D. J.

ATTENDED BY LARGE Stockton-Christianse- Danielsen Family Home 8. From Los Angeles Trip HBE Elder Orson F. Whitney Urges More Activity on the Part of the Various Priesthoods Good Musical One of the most successful and Millie well attended Priesthood conventions in the history of the Hyrum stake was held Saturday and Sunday. In the opening meeting Saturday morning the various departments of the Priesthood held separate meetings., Elder Orson F. Whitney, member of the Council of the Twelve, was in attendance. His first address was before the presiding officers of the stake. He spoke of. the authority of the Priesthood.- In the Saturday afternoon session Prest. Joseph B. White gave an address of welcome and urged that everyone that possibly could should attend the general conference to be held in Salt Lake City the first week in April. He stated that the Priesthood was progressing in the stake as evidenced by an increase in tithing, more interest in the Scout work and an increasing interest in the Seminary work. The future of our Church depends on the education of youth, said Prest. White. Hyrum stake now has 26 missionaries in the field and there should be 46. This indicates that u Petersen, standards in the community; Mrs. Barrett, the value of Bible reading. Prayers were by Mrs. Elizabeth Critchlow and Mrs. Sorensen. At the Sunday morning session of the convention Frank Wyatt gave the history of the Melchizedek Priesthood ;Theadore Maughan, the history of the Aaronic Priesthood; Miss Connie Petersen, a testimony of the power of the Priesthood, and C. F. Olsen read several verses from the Doctrine and Covenants. Elder Whitney, in his opening remarks, said that for many years the had been auxiliary organizations forging to the fore while some of the Priesthood organizations were remaining, behind. He likened this situation to a battleship that kept its larboard guns bright and its starboard guns were rusty. He stated that he was pleased to see the revival of interest in the Priesthood. He then went on to show that the gospel had been planned in heaven and that it was given to man from time to time during different periods of mans existence. The speaker then pointed out clearly the symbolism of the sacrament and of baptism. He showed that the feast of the passover, that should have stopped with the death of the Savior was continued and finially linked with the German Spring celebration known now as Easter. In con- for improvement. Bishop Henry Sorensen, assisted by members of the Mendon ward, gave a demonstration of a properly conducted Priesthood class meeting. D. Lester McBride conducted a demonstration with a quorum of elders from the Thrid ward showing how fraternal feelings can be stimulated by ac- clusion is room tivities in the Quorum. V Reports were given by L. C. Nuhn, Ether Nielsen, Emmett- - Savage and A. A. Savage pertaining to the activities of that quorum during the past year. Elder Orson F. Whitney spoke on the relation of the Aaronic Pristhood to the Melchizedek Priesthood. He pointed out that the first office he held was that of an elder but that that ordination made him a deacon, a teacher, a priest and an elder. The Melchizedek Priesthood, or the greater, includes the Aaronic Priesthood, or the lesser. He further pointed out that the reason the Church was not fully organized in the beginning was because there was no need for certain officers and just as soon as the need arose new organizations and officers came into being. He spoke at length on the United Order showing that this was Gods For, said plan to unite his people. Elder Whitney, there cannot be unity with a palace on one side and a log cabin on the other. This work does not stand still, continued Elder Whitney. It changes in appearance but its principles are the same. We have not a perfect organization as it exists in heaven but we approximate it.! The address was concluded by showing that order and discipline must exist in the Church and that authority should be respected. He told of the battle in Manila Bay at the war to time of the Spanish-America- n , meaning. Even though the American ships were ready for action not one of them fired until the authority was given by General Dewey. the ' t Special music was by a male quai--teillustrate his every one of he emphasized V meetings. President D. M. Bickmore urged the parents to teach their children the principle of marriage and requested that more of the young people be married in the temple. During his the following statistics pertaining to the Hyrum stake: In 1924 there were 66 marriages in the temple and 24 civil marriages; in 1925 there were 370 men and women over 21 years of age who were not married. Elder Whitney urged that the instructions received at the convention be remembered and made use of. His address centered about the prophecies made by ancient apostles and their fulfillment. He showed how Mor-monis- m is the fulfillment of prophecy and how Mormon elders have been blessed with a divine power of seeing into the future. President White reported that those in charge of the program of the convention had not been failed in one number. A total of 750 attended the Sunday afternoon session. Prayers were by A. M. Israelsen and O. M. Music was by the WellsWilson. ville Second ward choir under the di- rection ,of W. J. Allen. The charge I. A. stake board had of the evening session. Mrs. M. COLIEGE WiU. PffilfflTLV CLOSE After spending the winter in Los Angeles Henry Danielsen and family are back to the valleys of the mountains to settle down to the old life. Henry reports that his sojourn in the Golden Bear state was a pleasant one and that he had a difficult time to convince his kiddies that Hyrum was the place. While in Los Angeles Mr. Danielsen sought out the land and took a hand for a short time in selling real estate. He also made an investment which he predicts will hold a pot of gold for him in a few years judging from the present conditions in California and the building plans .of the city. He predicts also that the next big boom in the coast state will be centered around San Diego because the real estate forces are planning a charge on that section of the country in the near future. His daughter, Orlean, received some very valuable experience while there. She was a member of a orchestra at the school she atWe saw the city, remarktended. ed Mr. Danielsen, at least we traveled 8,000 miles while there. Church Expected to De- vcfte Funds to Seminary Work The Brigham Young college, pioneer educational institution of Cache Valley, which has been a shrine of learning for the past forty-eigyears will close its doors at the end of the present school year, according made to an official announcement Wednesday to the bord of trustees, by Adam S. Bennion, superintendent ht of Church schools. This announcement will come as a stunning blow to the three thousand alumni of thq institution and to those who have sung Where the Bright Crimson Banner Floats , Free in the Air. To knbw that this banner will float no more causes a feeling of remorse smiilar to the one that comes when one loses a dear friend. Yesterday when the announcement was made to the students of the college at a special chapel exercise the scenes that followed were in every respect similar to those of a funeral. Members of the faculty and the older members of the student body could not keep back a flood of tears. For several years rumors had crept out from time to time that the school was to be closed but each time dame rumor was forced to hide her head. The Church school board decided that more effective work could be done, in view of the present conditions, by building seminaries close to the various high schools of the state. such in- There have been fifty-nin- e scitutions constructed in the last few years and the board is considering applications for fifteen more.

John Woodward, head of the home missionaries of the stake, gave a report of the activities of those under his jurisdiction.

PRIESTHOOD CONVENTION WAS there THE WINNING CACHE COUNTY, The local school has not trained its men in previous years in the art of hurdling, but Coach Crofts long suit is in that line. Through his efforts he has succeeded in having 30 hurdles constructed by the Mechanic Arts department. This act has added new interest to the field sports across the hollow. About fifteen men are reporting for the spring events. If this were an age of superstitions one would be allowed to say that some witch had scattered a few evil seeds among the boys for some of the best material has been rendered inactive because of sickness or accidents. Lorenzo Thorpe, the best bet in the century and 220, has been kept out of the game on account of sickness. Merrill Gunnell has been limping around for the past two weeks with a bad ankle and Liddle Larsen has his name on the sick list. In spite of this tough luck there are some mighty good men that don the abbreviated togs bearing the purple and white. Stan Chipman is showing up in the 100 yard dash; WTyatt in the quarter mile and Hughes in the half mile. For the mile run Murray, Bailey and Legrand Nielsen are testing out their wind and speed. Wes Bradshaw looks good for the hurdles and perhaps the half mile jaunt. Dean Hammond is the best prospect for the low hurdles, while John Christensen handles the pole vault like a table fork. The heavies will be lifted by Larsen and Dick Campbell. Although Croft has not discovered any Charlie Paddocks or still he is optimistic in speaking of the outcome of the track season. Word has just recently been received from Coach Dick Romeny of the U. A. C..who has charge of the high school track and field meet, that the contest will be held at Logan on May 7, on Adams Field. Several of the South Cache men will be entered to compete for honors against other schools of the north end of the state. Those who show enough speed and vim will be permitted to enter the state meet to be held in Salt Lake City about the middle of May. Ilart-shranf- ls N. W. Christiansen presided.

Their encore numbers were also well rendered and brought forth much applause from the large audience. It is something unusual to find four voices that harmonize so well in such a small community, and there are quite a number of male quartets singing professionally whose prestige would fall by the wayside, were they to sing alongside the Harmony Four.
