Show vs; A NUMRER of the publishers of the state included in-cluded in the excursion of the State Press Association Asso-ciation passing through here recently to and from Zion Canyon, expressed surprise at finding a town such as Cedar City this far inland and away from the railroad. Our fine public buildings and handsome hand-some large business blocks were a real revelation to them. In fact their entire trip through this section was a series of surprises and pleasures to -them. We note that it is quite often th case that - i people residing in the northern portion of the state are inclined to under-rate and think lightly of the south, which is supposed in their minds to be only noted for the rank growth of its sage-brush and the number of its livestock upon the ranges. It does these people good to come down and see what s. we have and to find that we are just about as progressive pro-gressive and civilized as they are in the north. We are always glad to have our good friends from the centers of population come and look us over. |
