Carlton, Sr., has been seriously ill this week at the home of hia son, Karl S. Carlton. His sickness WINS STATE TITLE has been brought on by a combination of old-ag- e infirmities. Mr. Carlton is 67 years of age. SOUTHERN UTAH HAS Mrs! William Outzen has returned BRILLIANT RECORD from Springville, where she had gone LAST FOUR YEARS to spend a few days with her mother Dixie high school of St. George who is ill. Mrs. Robert Sherwood and children won the state basketball championMoscow mine ship by taking the final game of the spent a few days at the week. last Lake at tournament Salt state City Saturday night The Dixie Flyers went through the tournament with a aeries of monotous wins, taking the last game with Pleasant Grove in nonchalant fashion, and being only forced to really extend themselves in but one game, that with Bingham. They will go to Chicago noon to represent Utah at the national tournament. Utah has a worthy representative, and they are expected to give ST. GEORGE SCHOOL Editor Subscription, per year, in advance $2.00 Entered in the port office at Milford, Utah, as second class mail matter, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1S79 GIVE WALSH CREDIT If Tom Walsh, of Montana, keeps on he will be president yet. The biggest stir the nation has had since the Teapot Dome scandal was first uncovered to the public gaze, happened last week when Walsh and his committee made Rill Hays, former postmaster general under Harding, and former chairman of the republican party, admit in substance that he was a liar, and perhaps a crook. Hays admits receiving some $100,000 from Harry Sinclair, one of the oil magnate crooks who bribed Fall and Daughterty and it now seems a goodly portion of the Harding crowd. Andy Mellon was also put on the stand and grilled. He admitted he knew that Sinclair had given Hays the money, but forgot to tell alxiut it. Mellon also admitted having $T0,000 of Sinclairs bonds, given him by Hays, but says he gave them all back to Hays. Then Rill Butler, national chairman of the republican party, took the stand to admit that the republican party got funds for its campaign from Sinclair, but he did not know anything about it personally, or something like that. Tom Walsh has already smeared five of the narding cabinet with the oil graft, and now he is smearing the national committee of the republican party with the same brush, and doing it with their own involuntary admissions. The democrats could do a lot worse at Houston than nominate Walsh of Montana. lie is dry, western, and honest. Thats something. their opponents a hot time in Stage Line LEAVE MILFORD at 8:15 A. M.

TOM M ASTROS, Prop. - the In the tournament, and after loosing to Pleasant Grove in the semi-final- s, was shoved down to seventh place In the final ranking. People of southern Utah may well be proud of the type of game played by our high schools down here in this popular winter sport. In the past four years, three state championships have gone to high schools right around this section. In 1925, copped the honors; in 1926 the powerful L. D. S. team swept things; but Minersville and St. George came bark strong the last two years to bring honors again to the south. In doing this, these small schools have faced determined opposition from the big schools of the state, such as the high schools of Salt Lake, Ogden, and Provo. Incidently, the Branch Agricultural College of Cellar City won the Junior College championship this year of Idaho and Utah schools, with the omnipresent Dixie Junior College Omit tube $ Pan-guit- ch What is usually termed bunkhouse gossip, is the type of chatter which periodically eminates from some dubious source and spreads itself out among credulous folks anent the moving of the Union Pacific divisional point, shops, and the whole shebang to distant points. Sometimes, such talk is started mainly as a matter of conversation or idle speculation, but it doesnt do the town of Milford any good, no matter what the motive. Such talk is hard to down once it gets started, and its effect is to gradually lend to a local condition of unrest, . unimprovement of homes, and a general reluctance to spend money here with an uncertain future to face. It is not possible for the News to obtain a story from a high official in the Union Pacific organization which would come from high enough authority to refute without a Bhadow of a doubt the falsity of the current gossip. If it were possible, the News would gladly publish such a story to set at rest the minds of Milford citizens and of people from other towns. The rumor has been bobbing up for the past ten years and steps should be taken to squelch such talk. When the railway wants to move ths divisional point, they may decide to do so within a weeks time, as was done in the case of Evanston, Wyoming. But until that time, down not sit the talk? and laugh why Surely the newly' pat' built station, the dumping pits, the shops, the roundhouse and the miles of switching tracks here should point to something other than unsettledness. And another thing, when a fireman or an engineer, or railroad any employee who makes his home in Milford, tries to tell you that Milford will be discontinued as a divisional point, he is talking thrdugh his hat, and knows no more of it titan a coritoral in the drmy would know of the intentions of the general staff. Admittedly, the loss of the division point would mean a loss just now that would be irreparable to Milford. But the time is not far distant; when with a developed and prosperous agricultural field built up around the towm, Milford will not have to cling to the railroad alone in order to maintain its existence. (jffortless Driving Smoothness Power and Ease of Control that make every mile a pleasure -- 585 The Taurinp Milford's share in bringing these laurels to the south has been small but it can readily be seen what Milford is up against in tying into the classy teams of southern Utah.

UTAH PRODUCTIONS START NEW PICTURE The Place For Bargains Ralph Cloninger, motion picture, actor and producer, was in Milford this week on his way to Beaver, where he will start work at once on a new picture for which plans have been in the making for some time. The scenes will be taken near Beaver, with a cast of extras from Beaver SAFETY ON AMERICAN RAILROADS the Union Pacific record for 1927, a passenger could times around the earth before he would be in travel danger of an accident; and the average railroad worker would labor for 120 years to achieve only one accident. The passenger record is the same as that of 1926; but there is a gain of 27 per cent in employe safety. , Not so very long ago, one seldom saw a middle-age- d trainman who had not lost at least part of a hand; and ther cemeteries were crowded with those who lost their all. Nowadays, railroading is safer than banking; safer than almost any other kind of important work. Railroad travel is safer than saying at home or gong to the movies. It has all come through intelligent private application to a job that offers a man a chance to climb by his own ability and endeavor. They make no such records on state railroads; and on the best of those, so far behind the American records for safety and efficiency, the costs are prohibitive. Take away the privilege of ambition and profit; substitute politics for ability; put officious red tape in place' of direct personality and you get no such' records as this Union Pacific story. And this is but one of many American railroad stories that differ only in microOn . county people. With Mr. Cloninger were two cam--1 eramen, and Mr. Otto, who will direct the filming of the new picture. - ng scopic degree. POOL BUYS CHANDLER Milton H.
