VOL. - Containing a Resume of the News of Provo and Many Features and Human Interest Stories XII.; NO. 68 m ra UTAH LAKE SITE FAVORED BY PROVO CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1922 OFFICIALS Unusual interest has developed in this locality in the announcement that the Pacific Steel corporation organized by some of the largest interests on 'the Pacific coat together with Salt Lake capitalists has plans well under way for the establishment in this state of a steel industry which it is contemplated will bring together in one vast enterpfise 75 per cent of the steel manufacturing capacity of the Pacific slope and the largest privately owned iron and coal properties on the continent. Under the plans, which call for the expenditure' of $8,000,000 in Utah, provision will be made for a production of pig iron at the rate of 400,000 to 500,000 tons annually, using the rich iron ore from the J. S. Milner corporation holdings in Iron county and the coking coal from Carbon and Emery counties, with Utah limestone and other raw materials required for this basis of all modern industrial steel. life, ' While there has been no announcement concerning the location of the projected furnaces and coke ovens, it is believed that the shores of Utah lake will probably furnish a suitable site, it being pointed out that trans- portation, living conditions and ac-cessibility to the deposits of coal, iron, limestone and other materials make the Utah lake an inviting point for such an enterprise, as is indicated by the attention given to this locality by the Columbia Steel corporation. Iron and coal properties of the Milner corporation which are to be made the basis of the Utah operations of the Pacific Steel corporation are situated in Iron and Carbon counrespectively, and may be conties, nected with existing railroads by new lines not more than 25 miles in length, according to J. S. Milner, secretary of the Utah corporation. Proximity of suitable transpora-tio-asn facilities to the Pacific coast well las intermountain markets for the product will determine the location of blast furnaces. Sites for these have not been definitely chosen, according to Salt Lake men interested Other !in the new steel company. to confirm the statement of than ' T. C. Gregory, regarding development of raw materials and construction of blast furnaces, Mr. Milner refused, to divulge further details, saying these would have to come from the Pacific Steel corporation at San Francisco. Announcement of the formation of the $40,000,000 corporation to connect the raw materials of Utah with the needs of the Pacific coast follows closely on the organization of the Columbia Steel corporation, incorporated for $15,000,000, which has al- ready started development in the same counties. As far as known the two corporations are independent of each other. of this gigantic in, Development dustry with the Milner property as a base will fulfill a dream of the late Col. S. B. Milner, pioneer mining and figure of Utah's early days. irrigation In 189 5 he discovered and located the tremendous bodies of iron ore In Iron mountain and Deseret and from that time till his death in 1906 he tried continually to find the huge capital necessary to build a steel industry in Utah. At the time during the world war wheq steel was iii great demand and pig iron sold from $60 to $160 per ton it was demonstrated that Utah was the most favored state in the nation as regards the raw materials for the steel Industry. Yet efforts to establish it here failed. Had the instate dustry been established in the would at that time, untold wealth have flowed to Utah, it is pointed . . out. Failure to Report Accident Cost $26 Robert Davis of American Fork yesterday was sentenced to pay a fine of $26 for not reporting an accident wherein George Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alma Stewart of this city was injured when struck by Davis car. The case came up for trial in Judge James B. Tuckers court yesterday following an arraignment some days ago wherein the defendant entered a plea of not guilty. Accordingly the county was put to the expense ot summoning a number of witnesses only to learn that Davis 15-year-- . had changed his plea from that of not guilty to one of guilty. While it was pointed out that the accident was unavoidable, the judge was not favorably impressed with Davis attitude toward the injured boy, which. together with his failure to report the accident to the police authorities, and also his failure to plead guilty to the charge, cost him the . amount stipulated.

Following the arrest of two unlicensed peddlers here Tuesday by Chief Wren Wilkins, the city commission has decided that a new. ordinance, designed to protect the business interests of Provo, should be placed on the statute books. Accordingly,'. the city attorney is now drafting such an ordinance. The men arrested Tuesday were B. Carlson and Walter Edgar, both of Salt Lake City, .who were charged with peddling pork shoulder, representing it to be smoked ham. Four housewives in the residential section of the city are said to have purchased 'shoulders from these men, paying them 30 cents per pound for the same meat that can be purchased from the local dealers at 22 cents per pound. After hearing the circumstances surrounding the case, which were of a pathetic nature, the complaining witness, together with the prosecuting attorney, agreed that no formal complaint would befiled at this time, but the men were given warning that any repetition of a violation of the city ordinance would not be tolerated. The new ordinance is designed to regulate peddlers and itinerant merchants of all classes. That the public school teacher should be the binding link between the city and the schools, and that the gospel of civic pride should be carried into every home of Provo through the instructions given to the pupil by the teacher, was emphasized by Mayor O. K. Hansen, in addressing the teachers of the Provo schools at the opening session of their institute Wednesday morning.

THE average automobile tourist cant tell you much about the scenery- after he gets back, but he can tell all about the roads. Professor Herald R. Clark, who has spent the summer at the University of Washington, at Seattle, gave a brief report of his stay in the northwest during the past few months before the members of the Rotary club at their weekly luncheon at the Hotel Roberts today. I was greatly impressed with the beauty of the northwest, Mr. Clark said. Every time I looked at Mt. Rainier I was reminded of Timpano-go- s and Gene Roberts. It is interesting to observe how the people there capitalize that beautiful mountain. Mr. Clark expressed the belief that Seattle had overbuilt during the period of the war ,fcut declared that a business revival is noticeable in the northwest. He paid the people of that section a glowing tribute, dere wonderfully claring that they democratic. They really believe that there is something besides California on the Pacific coast, Mr. Clark , said. Dr. H. G. Merrill spoke briefly on the value of work in Rotary. He stated that only a small per cent of the members of the local club had begun to function, and predicted that when the entire membership becomes active there will be something doDr. Merrill expressed great ing! satisfaction at the splendid attendance. Rotarian J.. T. Farrer presided in the absence of President Oscar Spear. Lynn Suttons new boy came up for discussion. Jim Tucker announced that Lynn had a boy.

Among the guests today were D. R. Beebe, Lowery Nelson and Mr. Birch of Salt Lake. -- SUES FOR DIVORCE Zina Brown has filed suit for divorce in the district court against E. K. Brown on the grounds of desertion. There are two children, of whom the plaintiff asks the custody. She also asks for $50 per month alimony, title to certain real property and $250 attorneys fees. The couple 'were married January 6, 1909. That the health of the child Is of foremost Importance in community life was emphasized by Miss Nellie H. Heinzelman, who appeared before the members of the Pr&vo Kiwanis club at their weekly luncheon at the Hotel Roberts yesterday. In building up the health of this community we must compare our work with that of the masterbuild-erand consider the human structure as the foundation of all life, began Miss Heinzelman. To show how poorly this foundation had been built in the past the speaker referred to the great percentage of men called into the service who were unfit because they had built poor health foundations. To illustrate the need of giving attention, to the health problems of the community Miss Heinzelman declared that one out of every eight born into the world-die- s before its first birthday. One out of every ten people, she said, dies of tuberculosis, and 300,000 children die each year of contagious diseases. I wonder what you would do if one out of every eight calves should die; or if one out of every ten business houses should fall each year? You would soon asked the speaker. begin to apply a remedy. Miss Heinzelman then took up the financial loss incurred by a child having to repeat his grade in the public schools because of illhealth. Her summary of the loss estimated it at $1200 per year for each child, or approximately half a million dollars a year in this city. The speaker declared ' that with Provos wonderful resources ..in. the form pf the best health clinic in the state and the splendid cooperation given by the professional men of the city much should be accomplished in solving the communitys health problems. John W. Farrer gave a comprehensive report on the district convention recently held at Ogden. When you stop to think how much can be accomplished by such a great organization as the Kiwanis club in the development of the unprivileged child, it is simply wonderful, said Mr. Farrer. He explained that the convention had emphasized the development of the unprivileged child as the principal project for the Kiwanians to take up during the coming year. He stated that as one mem--hof the club he had already asked the cooperation of the school teachers in the movement. Mr. Farrer told of what a fine impression Twin Falls had made at the convention and of how the Kiwanians had succeeded in winning the next convention. Ecjgar McArthur presided yesterday and brought up the subject of bringing the 1924 convention to Provo, and declared that the local club should begin at once to lay its plans toward this end. Music was furnished today by s, i er -- Mer-ten- e- T. Stein, who was accompanied on the piano by' Leona M. VanWag-one- r. Mrs. Stein sang One Fine from Day, ytfadam Butterfly. Her rendition of this number was received with muchenthusiasm. Bishop Joseph A. Buttle was the membership prize winner, and was fortunate in receiving a book written by Dr. F. S. Harris of the Brigham Young university. Mexican Pink Tea Party to Be Postponed ; i , The plans for a birthday party to be given at Cutler, a section camp just north of Lehi, on the 16th of this month by a gang of Mexican sec-tihands were frustrated by Deputy Sheriffs Kart Boshard and Otto Birk when they went into the camp Wed- oh nesday and confiscated all the pink tea and brought ,to Provo Roman.

However, they were able to make It known that they had obtained a good supply of wet goods from Salt Lake with which to celebrate. In testing the quality of their refreshments, they became intoxicated and the officers were notified. Sota was charged with having intoxicating liquor in his possession, while his fellow countryman was charged with intoxication. ; When dad sits on the front porch If you ask us, most any girl will without his shoes you know whos boss. take a hint if it is a beauty hint.
