Show Millard County Crronfcla 6 Delta, Ut., Thurs. Feb. 26.1948 l J Painted Picture of Beaufy Spot i ' In the Wayne Wonderland " ' ' - j I " 1 ' V' ' , V feet from a 1000 foot wall to a 10000 foot wall. The main wash turns here at the right, thus being blocked by this mountain, which seems to ob-struct the passage, but in effect does not. The painting was made by Charles Kelly, custodian of the Wayne Wonderland National Monument, from a natural color photo of the scene. the gorge on both sides. But the right hand wall here, in the some-what narrowed passage is In very heavy shade, with the result, of course, that all detail in the shad-ow was blocked, lost in a gob of dullness. The average run of photo printing paper will record a con-trast. of 15 to 1; lantern slides far beyond that, with delicacy retained But Kodachrome or Ansco can take only about 4 to 1. Even an ordin-ary black and white fails to re-cord satisfactorily what the eye sees, under so great a contrast of lighting. Hence any manner of photograph ing falls short of a painting of the scene. In painting it, Mr. Kelly held the right wall from too in-tense highlight, and added much light to the left wall, with all de-tail retained. Of the thousands of rocks, and fragments fallen as talus from the mountain and walls, he selected just. enough to retain es-sentials, but not clutter up the painting with unnecessary detail: The spots of color were chosen and placed for best effect. In other words he has presented through the eye of an artist, the essentials of the scene, without fatiguing the spectator with sorting a maze of trifles. He discarded the superflu-ous, and so toned all parts that detail is retained. The Painting Better Than a Photograph The painting of this very inter-esting scene is better than a photo-graph. The lighting is controlled; the effect is better upon the eye. The location is slightly off the beaten path; but it is only a mod-erate walk to reach it, not at all burdensome, and one is well re-paid for the slight trouble. The mountain may easily be identified from the air; the contour and color register to one speeding by in full flight. It is predominant in the terrain, and marks the high point of interest in the course of fc.,W"MBI B3.auL This is a photograph of a painting of a very pretty spot 1 in Grand Wash. The walk beyond where the car was parked was ' not very long. The canyon walls twist and tum, sometimes nar-- i , row. and sometimes widen: at this point, immediately beyond the opening is seen this pretty ( mountain, highly lit by the sun. Walls rise almost vertically for hundreds of feet; in one place ' the width is only about twelve j I walked into his house. I knew ! ! that he painted, and was not sur- - I prised to see a studio of sorts in : the kitchen. A table, well lighted; . a palette, paints, brushes; and : ii! hung on the wall to dry, three It scenes on which he was still work-- ing. This one in the center caught ' my interest. I stepped up close; ' i! then shifted position for change of lighting; backed away; studied it; gazed, wrapped in admiration ; of it. All the while my host silent-- : ly watched me, waiting for re- - action. "Charley, that's the best paint- - ing you've done. The scene is ': beautiful, and you've handled it i , with skill. Where is it?" II. "In Grand Wash. Haven't you ) been there?" '; "No; never had the opportuity." i "Take you there tomorrow. A short walk." ! The next day we drove out in his car to the mouth of Grand Wash, and slowly picked our way : !' down, farther and farther, until ; : rocks blocked further progress of l the car. Then the walk down. At 1 one point Kelly became very lo- - i, quacious, strode ahead, and un- - ) marked by me, so engaged me in ( what was beyond that he kept me ' from turning around to look at v what we had passed, which I found : out an hour or two later, as we came back, was this very scene, i t The sun was not right then, and ' t he kept up a conversation, luring i i ;me down the wash, hoping that i c his show of interest beyond and v lively conversation would keep my , e attention from the back trail; for i I j this is out of sight in going down j r the wash, unless one turns to view i t i; what one has passed, j r Back two hours or so later, the i sun was just what he wanted, and J I he led the way through a narrow j s j: defile, which widened as the paint- - j j' ( I' ing shows, and suddenly, there be-- t fore us was the sight. How arrest- - 'If ing. One stood and admired. Diff- - ! 1 erent viewpoints were sought by .' walking from side to side of the t somewhat narrow wash. One point I was exactly right, i The walls serve as framework to ' ,i I the scene holding the roving eye I j from wandering; the foreground i leads directly to the scene. Nature ' ; in this instance set up a scene j ( which complies with man-mad- e 1 ; rules of art. The foreground is not ' i i. so attractive as to compete; a few j j i fallen stones, a bush or two in j J green, in nice contrast to the red !i tone, giving a complementary spot 1 of color. The interest is in the j mountain at the rear, and to that j t 1 interest the eye is led. j If not a Photo Fan Skip the Next j ! i Two Paragraphs of Text. j j We took a series of natural color photographs disappointing. The I manufacturers of color recording film very carefully instruct the ; user, "keep the ration of contrast low. Do not. let it exceed 1 to 1; better 3 to 1." That is, here was a scene with the distant mountain ; in a bright sun, well lit, and re- - t ceiving much light which was re- - i: fleeted upon it from the walls of! i the wash. Mountains of all kinds, heights and shapes are there jum-bled into a riot of seeming dis-order, lending interest, both to the casual observer and to one who wishes to study more closely. But this mountain dominates over all the others. Those who wish to see the or-iginal painting may do so by call-ing at this office, where it is hung directly in view upon entering the front door. It is very pretty and brings considerable favorable com-ment. Utah People Candy Lovers According to a report credited to the U. S. Department of Com-merce and published in an Ohio newspaper, the people of Utah buy more candy per capita than inhab-itants of any other state. Per cap-ita consumption in Utah for 1946 was 34.2 pounds. Colorado came next with 27.3 pounds. The aver-age U. S. consumption in 1946 was 17.1 pounds. Kentucky consumes 9.5 pounds per capita; New York state, however, consumes 275,000, 000 pounds of candy annually. ry operated over the Colorado at Kite was swept away and lost in the Colorado flood waters, The construction of the proposed , bridge over the Colorado will break all geographical barriers for the first time between southern Utah and southeastern Utah and facili-tat- e tourist travel between scenic attractions in remote sections of Colorado and New Mexico and Utah. , Bridge Slated For Southeastern Utah of Public-U- y .

A couple of days ago a fellow from Point Baker brought all of my mail out and every thing, and boy did I have a swell Christ- -' mas right on the Beach all by my- - self. First of all I opened the Radio and got it to playing and is it a swell one, just perfect. Well by that time I was so excited I couldn't open things fast enough. Every-thing you sent was just what I needed and did that flash light ever come in handy, mine was com-pletely ruined and no batteries. The only thing I couldn't use was the razor blades. I almost got drunk on the fruit cake but it sure was good. I ate a bottle of peaches while I was opening every-thing. One tning I did throw away was that Dam astrology book, the last one said I would have good luck in November and December. I've got the boat so it will float now, I've got to be towed into Wrangell soon as some one comes along. I have to get up every two hours during the night and pump the boat out, so I won't be getting much sleep, but I don't mind, it helps me keep my girlish figure. Well, I'm listening to the radio and I swear that the Radio is a lot more company than a wife could be and it's not near the trouble. I hope that I can do a few things for you someday that I have al-ways wanted to do. I haven't anything to do while I'm waiting for someone to come in that will tow me to. Wrangell, but pump the boat out. It will be a week before the mail boat comes in again, so maybe I'll be in Wran-gell before that and I'll mail this, I hope I've written enough to please you this time, I'll quit for this time and maybe I can think of some more to write before I mail this. A fellow just came along in a nice big boat and said that he would tow me into Wrangell in the morning and said I could pay him, whatever I thought it was worth and whenever I got the money. Pretty good, huh? So I'll send him about $50.00. It will take us about eight hours if the weath-er is good, I'm going to stay up all night and be ready as he wants to leave at five. I'll write more from Wrangell. Happy Day, Mom, here I am in Wrangell and I just got the boat on the grid and am I relieved. We had a rough trip and I had to pump the boat by hand and I'm sure tired to night. I went up to the shipyards and it'll cost me around four hundred dollars to have the boat recorked so it won't leak. I'm pretty tired Mom, so if you'll par-don me for a while I'll be-- getting back to the garden as I've got to let the hem down on my bloomers. The fellow that towed me to LETTER . . . January 19th I think 48 Wrangell, Alaska Dear Mom: It's just another one of these winter nights around the 15th of January. I'm sitting in the boat while it's resting on it's side at a 45 angle. I'm nibbling on a cold hot cake that I salvaged from the bilge of the sunkren WILMARTH, the dough is very salty and very black from bilge grease. I have half a pound of coffee and a can of milk that by chance some passing Indians gave me, Ah: but there is meat in the woods tomor row I shall see. Just a little poem I wrote. The hair from my mink skins fell away Now for which I receive no pay I'm loafing loafing the live long day Oh, the hair from my mink skins fell away. To start off a little streak of bad luck I soaked ten mink skins in soapy water by mistake, at the tune of about 25 to 30 dollars a piece. Oh, here I am in an bay My boat is broke down and I can't move away Oh, here I am in an bay I returned and found the ice and cut and sunk her today. . That took place about the middle of trapping season some where New Years, when ever that was, I suppose it's past by now though. I left the sunken boat at close of day I tried a short cut o'er a Mountain pass To reach my part-ner ten miles away Without a light, lost and without a compass. Oh, I crawled and groped till down of day I was half frozen and the blizzard was strong Myself I dragged like a bag of clay While the wolves close by sang a woeful and pressing song. I was sighted by noon next day, By Indians not far away They fed and sheltered me They filled my gaunt belly with Hudson Bay tea. My trapping days ceased long ago With bad luck dancing to and fro Here I sit farther in the hole Than I was three long months ago. That was a bit of my general run of luck. I've never spent a night like it before in my life and I hope never again to have to. After the Indians raised my sun-ken boat and towed it to a little better anchorage, I lived with them until they left. A few days later I had to return to where I was trapping and pick up my traps. I left a skiff up there so I could re-turn in it, I'll show you how I mean by an ingenius map, I hav-en't any thing to do anyway. I hope that I'm not taking up too much of your time, if I am you could come back tomorrow and take another lesson. Let's not take this torn foolishery to heart now, I expect this letter to dissolve, sink or blow up with me before I ever get it mailed any how. After I had picked up my traps and got to the place marked skiff, the wind was blowing big beautiful swells in ten feet high, a little too large for my seven foot skiff load-ed with traps and me. Darkness had done fell all around me by now, strange noises and imaginary sparkling eyes were glaring right smack at me. You no what I done? I done set them there seven dozen traps around in a ring and I gets dab smack in de middle and pro- - Wrangell was sure swell and went out of his way to bring me in, there are still some pretty good people left in the world, Alaska, too. Whenever I meet some one like that it always reminds me of ePte McKellar. Goombye Mom, Love, Son ceeds to lite up a tire wnicn oruy took me four hours to do in the rain. v My luck changed that night, the next morning the water was calm and I rowed for about four hours without sinking reached home and devoured a cold hot cake. Seems like I'm living in a crazy house with this d boat lying on her side. I hayg. got the fire going tho, that's about the only thing that isn't ruined. I haven't seen a soul for about ten days now, sure hope there's some body left in this world. I had two big long lovely letters written that I had figured on mail-ing to you, I wrote them when things were going a little smoother. I think you would have enjoyed reading them more than this one, but I suppose the Crabs are ex-hibiting them at Davy Jones'. Well, I'm going to quit writing for two night, I've got some more worrying to do. One thing about it when you receive this letter, if you do, these present troubles will be in the past. Boy that last sen-tence sounds good. Today is about the 17th, I'm safe and sound in Point Baker at the Mr. and Mrs. James Juhl, who have been since November driving from Michigan to California, with stop-ove- in Iowa and Arizona, are now at Huntington Beach, and write that they are enjoying sight-- 1 seeing trips, with Mr. and Mrs. L. Morrison, including a trip of two days into Mexico as far as Ensen- - j ada. |
