David L. Sargent, engineer for the Road Commission, said the decision to detour through Emigration Canyon was irrevocable and not arbitrary." 43 ATTEND Speaking to an information session attended by some 45 persons in the Salt Lake Building, Sargent said an investigation showed that it would be impossible to keep the road open during construction from mouth of Parleys Canyon to Mounlain Dell Reservoir. He said the Emigration Canyor. route would be resurfaced and widened to handle the detoured traffic. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Cook. Jordan; Lance Robert. Orem ; Kirkland, Stephen Martin Rubm.

DE MAR TEUSCHER Deseret News Political Editor An unexpected political dis- pute today stalled selection of a vice chairman of the Utah Legislative Council, As anticipated. Speaker Lorin N. Pace, Lake, was unanimously r.amed council chairman. But the eight Democrats on the council asked that one of their members be named vice chairman. This is a departure from normal practice, which would have been to name the Senate President to that office. Pres. Haven J. Barlow of Layton, who was chairman for the last two years, is also a Republican. Republicans hold majority control in both houses of the legislature. Democrats caucused briefly House before the meeting started and decided to ask for the vice chairman's post. Sen. Omar B. Bunnell, noted that both parties have equal representation on the Council, He said the purpose of the 1966 statute reorganizing the council on a bipartisan basis was aimed at giving both parties equal voice. Republicans, caught by surprise, argued that the past practice has been in effect during times when one party controls both houses and also when there was split control of the Legislature. Senate Leader Majority Warren E. Pugh, Lake, moved to defer selection of a vice chairman until can caucus on Republicans the proposal and a conference leaders of both parties can be held. Pace, who is a member of the council for the first time, said he has been highly impressed by the work done in the past by the council." "I was particularly impressed by the judicious selecbetween tion of items for study made council and feel by the 1967-6that if we be equally judicious in our study emphasis during the coming two years, we will best serve the state," he said. He noted that in other interim committees of the Legislature, all of which are bipartisan in nature, there has been very little question of and urged members to keep such partisan considerations at a minimum in council deliberations. At today's meeting, assign- t) ments were made to standing of the council, committees and the list of assignments made by the 1969 Legislature were reviewed. In addition to Pace, council membership includes: Barlow; Republicans Sens. E. LaMar Buckner, Ogden; Dixie Leavitt, Cedar City; Pugh, and Reps. M. Byron Fisher, Frank V. Nelson and Ferdinand E. Peterson, all Salt Lake. Democrats Sens. Edward T. Beck, Kearns; Burnell; Ernest II. Dean, American Fork,, and Senate Minority leader Richard V. Evans, Salt and Reps, Mike Dmitrich, Price; David C.

April o 30, 1969 Forest Service IPiems To Huy Comyon Property By JACK MONSON Deseret News Staff Writer to Plans purchase 1,385 acres of land at the head of Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, American Fork and Snake Creek canyons were announced today by the U.S. Forest Service. Julian Thomas, forester for Wasatch National Forest, and Ames Harrison, district ranger, told Salt Lake County commission- ers the land would be ac r quired over a from the Great period Western Mines, Inc. Something a lot of two-yea- people do not realize is that much of the land in the canyons around Brighton and Alta is owned by private min-- i n g s," T h o mas explained. They allow the public to use the property, but if they wanted to they could put up no trespassing signs and keep people out. CHOICE PIECES To make it available to the public, the Forest Service has been picking up choice pieces of property for recreation and conservation purposes. The land involved is on the crest of the Wasatch Mountains above Alta and Brighton and includes three lakes. He aid sheep and cattle have grazed the land and this lias created erosion problems. He said the Forest Service plans measures to stop the erosion as well as assuring that the land will remain open to the public for recreation purposes. CONSERVATION FUNDS Thomas did not mention what the land purchase would cost, but he said the money would come from land and water conservation funds, derived from the $7 Golden Eagle Passports required of visitors to the forests in y firm recent years. s of the land involved In the purchase is In Salt Lake County, with the balance in Utah and Wasatch counties. Commission Chairman Oscar Hanson Jr. complained that the federal government was obtaining too much land in Utah. He said when it is withdrawn from taxes, it puts more burden on the taxpayer. LEASING FEES Thomas said there are 86 mining claims on the land and the federal government can still lease it out for mining or grazing. In this event, he said, the county Involved receives 25 per cent of the leasing fee. He indicated that no cabins were involved In the land purchase. He warned, however, that without such action as that being taken by the Forest Service there was a possibility it could all become private land with cabins and no trespassing signs and no longer able to the public.

It had something to Jo with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He said some of the signers were questioning whether they should sign it. A man they bad not aeen persuaded them. They were in a closed room. When they signed it and turned nround to speak to him, he was gone. Can you find this excerpt for us? M.N., Cokeville, Wyo. He gave the speech in Seattle, Wash., Oct. 12, 1968. The excerpt follows; Thomas Jefferson tells that on the day of our nations birth in the little hall in Philadelphia, debatehud raged for hours. The men gathered there were honorable men by a king who had flouted the very laws they were willing to obey. Even so, to sign a Declaration of Independence was such an irretrievable act that the walls resounded with the words treason, the gallows, the headmans axe," and the issue remained in doubt. Then a man rose and spoke. Jefferson desdribed him as not a young man, but one who had to summon all his energy for an Impassioned plea. He cited the grievances that had brought them to tljs moment and finally, his voice failing, he said, They may turn every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die. To the mechanic in the workshop, they wlJ speak hope; to the slave in the mines, freedom. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is around your neck, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom, the Bible of the rights of man forever. He fell back, exhausted. The 56 delegates, swept up by his eloquence, rushed forward an signed a document destined to be as immortal as a work of man can be. When they turned to thank him for In timely oratory, he was not to be found, nor could any be i ,und who knew who he was or how he had come in or gone out through the locked and guarded doors. Fifty-si- x men, a little band so unique, we have never seen their like since, had pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. (Editor's Note: Gov. Reagan has. at Do-- Mans request, sent a copy of the entire speech to M.N.)

Other viariations include one with Lincoln smoking a pipe. In case you wonder about the legal aspects, U.S. Treasury Dept, says it is not illegal to deface coins unless with intent to defraud. This does not apply to gold coins, which cannot be defaced in any way. but other coins are fair game for jewelry, key chains and other such items. You cannot melt them down, however.
