Show Want too Mrch v Tho people of San Pete and Sevier Counties have becomo Imbued with the Idea that they want some State Institution located In their midst. They aic not .sure Just what they would llkc,probably a good many poj-plc poj-plc down that way don't carowli.it they get, but they want .something.

We wonder what they Intend to do with those building. That Is about tlucc times as much as all the buildings of the, parent station in this city cost. Wo would suggest to our friends down South that before tiling their petition they correspond with the head of tho State institution in this clt and learn from him Just about what would be required to establish a good branch station, and they could then I ntoceed Intelligently. We believe i though that $10,000, would cover all iB the cost of land, buildings, etc., and jB $5,000, per year would pay all costs of IBB conducting a station that would an- jBB swer all the requirements of tho jB counties mentioned and the stato gen- !
