Mr. White also stated, or reiterated u former statement to the effect that his company would expend ten dollars in advertising the scenery of this locality lo-cality for every one dollar that the people, the state of Utah and the na tional government would give towards the improvement of the road, and the construction of a good auto highway by which to reach these beauties of nature. State Engineer Beers, who was also a member of the party, shared Mr. White's opinion as to the feasibility of reaching Little Zion from the top via the Cedar Canyon, but stated that a satisfactory route could be obtained farther south, and both gentlemen were enthusiastic in relation to the scenery that would be opened to the tourist along this route. The party was in the hills for nearly a week and came back wearing splendid splen-did growths of whiskers, and looking as if they had certainly been roughing it in every sense that the term implies. Mr. White has promised to furnish The Record some good cuts illustrating illustrat-ing some of the wonderful scenery through which his party passed, and these will appear in a subsequent issue is-sue of this paper. |
