marks the beginning of the good roads movement in utah but for the agitation we would not have a wagon road through price cunyon and it is doubtful if sister emery would have as many roads as she now has hurrah for the bIld midland land trail and its promoters promoter sl in its issue of aug 28 in an account of 0 meeting of the county commissioners the news made the assertion aser tion that A letter from the state auditor was wait read showing that the county had several thousand dollars to its credit in the state road fund this is supposed to be a case of bad bookkeeping on tho the part of the auditors office a thing not unusual the last sentence of that paragraph does the state auditor an injustice as it is probable that carbon county will receive from the state for the years 1913 14 for state road work se according cording to state auditor kellys interpretation of the law whether or not the state stute auditors interpretation is correct and the news hopes it is there is no evidence of a mistake in bookkeeping in mr kellys office and the news has done him an injustice from reliable sources the news learns that since mr kelly became state auditor the affairs of his office have received careful attention and mistakes are the exception and not tle rule the news has no desire to injure any faithful official state county or otherwise and makes this statement in justice to mr kelly and those in hie his office the editor of the news regrets ehst a misunderstanding led to the publication of the misleading aen sentence in the issue of aug 28 tribute to the recognition of a great undertaking successfully completed may be tardy but it is always sure people who build in hi advance ad varica of the time must always accept a share of the criticism offered by those who cannot keep pace with the procession the work accomplished by the mormon pioneers was of such magnitude that only today are people beginning to realize its value in the advancement of civilization and as the years go by that appreciation will grow richer and stronger for the sturdy people who faced the perils of a desert country and redeemed it the denver post says in resurrecting in memory the early days when the west was being slowly and by hard and dangerous endeavor occupied by the whites and brought within the confines of civil civilization old timers who will come to denver in 1915 to attend colorados great pageant of america and last grand council of north american indians who will recall among other impressive things the long wagon trains of the mormons cormons Mor mons thoc thouc indefatigable souls who driven from their first big settlement at nauvoo ill followed joseph juseph smith their prophet to their land of promise their canaan beyond the the wagon trains often stretched five or six miles one wagon and team behind the other nearly all of these pioneers were poor people many of them desperately poor pooi and in the wagons containing their meager effects and scanty stores were woman and children and the loads were heavy the men walked trudging uncomplainingly in some instances families were unable to provide horse teams and the men of the family harnessed themselves in twos and actually drew light wagons and their loads clear across the plains and oer the to the shores of tho the great salt lake where they camped and stayed camped and built up a great empire of their own and so it will bo be that in talking over old times time the pioneers at the great 1915 gathering will give full credit to those other pioneers for however they may differ from them in in creed and custom their admiration for their indomitable pluck and energy their great faith in their ability to work out their own salvation t on the r courage and endurance must necessarily be great and it will surely be amply expressed and at this great convention of old timers and new timers of ancients cientos and moderns there will be many of the older ones no doubt who in their reminiscences will dwell on the mormon element that strange people who by their own unaided efforts established establish pd a prosperous government and made green things grow in what was a desert
