Baxter, general manager of the Uintah road now under course of construction from Mack on the Rio Grande Western to the asphaltum fields, passed through Price last Sunday enroute to Zion. He reports work to be rushing with the result that over three and one - half miles of steel is laid, nearly one mile having been put down on Saturday. Forty men are engaged in the work, and as soou as an engine arrives still better progress will be made. The bridge gang is now about fourteen miles out, pushing things to the limit, while the roadbed is graded about forty - five miles out. Fifty - five miles in all is contracted for, which will take the line to the Black Dragon properties of the Gilson Asphaltum company, when the product of these mines will be taken to market. The government freight will then go out over the road instead of being hauled from Price, and the quartermasters agent now having headquarters here will be moved to the end of the railroad. 75 Getting Ready for Y.M.C.A. Building Surveyors in the employ of the Rio Grande Western railway have laid out and staked off the grounds at Helper for the Young Mens Christian Association building just south of the depot and present library building.

The building is to cost in the neighborhood of forty thousand dollars. YEARS AGO The Poppy Events are symbolized more or less by emblems, many by flowers, and they bring to mind the importance of the particular event for which they are known such as the Easter Lily of the 50 Resurrection Morn, and the thistle has a meaning to the Scotchman the same as the rose to the Englishman. The Poppy has taken its place of symbols as the flower of the World War. It has won a place in J the hearts of the people of many countries, as it is the memorial flower of the French, British and the Canadian world war veterans, and it is the memorial flower of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The Poppy that is worn as a tribute to the memory of the men ..'ho gave their lives in service to their country in the great war is made by the disabled men of that war. In this way the men make approximately $100,000 a year for the support of their families, and in several cases the men use their earnings to secure an education in order that they might learn some profession and carry on regardless of their disability. The world in general has forgotten the war, and if the poppy will, in the season of Memorial Day, bring to our minds the sacrifices which have been made by the man that our country might be saved, and if we wear the poppy in reverence and Wednesday, May 23, President Carter Washington wants to make the United States the dumping ground for much of the worlds nuclear wastes.

The mere transportation of these contaminated wastes is extremely dangerous. Yet the president is asking Congress for approval to take the radioactive products from all over the free world and store them somewhere in this country.

The machine that will actually a 66,000 produce the power kilowatt electric generator is scheduled to arrive this week at Castle Gate for installation in the Utah Power and Light Companys new Carbon mine - mouth, steam electric generating plant. The huge 245 - ton metal giant measures 40 feet in length, 11 feet, eight inches in width and 10 feet, 10 inches in height. It was shipped from East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, late in April on a lZxk foot long well - type railroad car and has carried special handling orders throughout its 2lfc thousand mile journey across the continent. Final lap of the journey is being made via Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western railways. Upon arrival at Castle Gate, it will be unloaded and rolled on timbers up the hillside behind the plant and into the turbine hall where it will later be joined to the steam turbine. It is in this generator that the Carbon plants electricity will be produced. When it begins whirring out power late this year, it will make the Carbon plant the second largest generating unit on the Utah Power and Lights system.

The White House profit increases as high as 300 percent. The giant American Telephone and Telegraph Company would like to get some of the gravy. It is quietly seeking permission to earn more money on its longdistance telephone service. The Bell System is permitted to earn up to 10 percent on longdistance calls. But it is now asking for a rate of return of up to 12 percent. The extra two percent could be worth $464 million to AT&T. It would come, of course, out of the pockets of telephone users. A spokesman stressed that AT&T is not asking for a rate increase. It wants an increase in what the law will allow the company to earn.

Carter wants to import these byproducts to prevent other nations from building H bombs. But there is a darker side side to the scheme. The opposition to nuclear reactors is growing in this country. So the corporations that build reactors are eyeing the foreign market. Under Carters plan, foreign countries would be more inclined to buy the reactors. They would receive assurances that they could dump their wastes here. Incidentally, the president is going ahead with his dumping plan without regard for the lesson of Three Mile Island.
