Show WEST JORDQH CLIMATE REMINDER RE-MINDER OF FIERCE ARTIC ' WEATHER We have no desire to give the West Jordan community any adverse publicity, pub-licity, but we transcend no bounds of truth by saying that it Is the windiest, coldest place in the world. It is there that the icy winds of winter blow in with all their hyperborean terrors. When" a person is unfortunately marooned ma-rooned there for something like an hour to change from the Interurban to the stage line, he gets a genuine sample sam-ple of Arctic weather. At ihe place where the stage line intersects the car line is a signboard which proclaims the name of the stop as Hlbbard and announces that it is 11.8 miles to Salt lLake. Tbe only other fixture is a small cement waiting wait-ing room for summer passengers. The ventilation in this room is perfect, because be-cause the air must be as pure on the inside as out. The little room is full of windows, screened with wire and it is much colder on the inside than th out. as in this building the blasts turn into whirlwinds.' Therefore one cannot can-not remain in the building during cold weather. There 1s no one living at the station of Hibbard and a stranger has only to stop over there between trains to know the reason why. that neither man nor beast inhabit the place. Only a short distance Trom Hibbard is Wetrt Jordan and iMldvale. People live in both these towns, but they evidently have hiding places for the winter. Wtien the hiterurban or the stage lets a ctranger off at that point to wait for another car it is guilty of criminal negligence and ought to be prosecuted. |
