Show The time is drawing near for, the Farmers Round-up at the Agricultural College. This is the place for the farmers farm-ers and horticulturists to get their progressive pro-gressive ideas. We would like to see Emery county well represented. Representative E. W. Robinson, presiding pre-siding officer of the house of representatives representa-tives showed his qualifications for the place when he told the body in his opening open-ing address that the state was not in great need of more laws that the actual business of the session and the liquor bill were the things that they should give their attention to. Perhaps he was moved to make these remarks by some of the country members bringing in sacks full of new bills. The plans of Senator Iverson and Representative Seely to secure appropriations appro-priations for needed bridges at Wood-side Wood-side and at Moab are plans that the people peo-ple of the districts should give as much help to as possible. Every little helps and the people in the localities most affected should lose no opportunities to boost for the improvements. A bridge at Woodside if almost a necessity as travel is often entirely blocked there by the river. That part of the county is coming to the front and the people need the bridge. At Moab the people have a ferry and have been getting along with that for these many years, but they are a progressive community and they want the conveniences of modern improvements im-provements in this their day and generation. gen-eration. San Juan is about as isolated a place as there is in the United States. Most of the freight they get there has to be hauled for over 100 miles. Yet this county stands the best show of coming strongly into the lime-light of any county in the country today. Aside from her thousands of acres of land suitable for dry farming the oil is going go-ing to be coming up from the depths in a short time in a way that will bring San Juan to the front in a short space of time. Such being the case it is only self-preservation for the state to get busy and arrauge things so as to make the ingress and egress ta this great oil district within the state. At the present pres-ent time the county is reached in three ways, from Gallup, N. M., Dolores, Colo, and from Thompsons. Utah people peo-ple should see that the road is made so good from this way that all the travel will go in from a Utah point. The Green River Commercial Club has been busy in the matter and are .determined that the railroad point for the district be made there. They have some good arguments for the change from Thompsons, Thomp-sons, the best one seeming to be that the town is prepared to outfit the oil men and has good hotel accommodations for them. These things will be quite a consideration in the near future when the rush comes on. Eastern Utah should work as a unite for these things as they are the material things that will come up at this session. |
