Show A FRIEND NEEDED To keep Richfield from establishing establish-ing that very enticing route which connects Suit Lake City, by means of seventy-five miles of pavement, with Nephl; thence Richfield (Fish Lake), then on to Panguitch (Bryce Canyon), Can-yon), and still straight on to Zion Canyon, thence to the junction with the Arrow Trail and into St. George We arise right here to say that we know of a certain very large, thinly populated county, with a small fringe of towns down along Its mountain side, isolated from a railroad, without with-out the wealth, financial or political strength, means or ability to hold their much needed route (on which they are almost entirely dependent) alone and unaided. It doesn't take much of a forecast to see that Salt Salt Lake to Nephi starts a route which Ephraim, Mantl, Gunnison, Salina, Sigard, RICHFIELD, PANGUITCH PAN-GUITCH and ST. GEORGE may possibly pos-sibly steal from the weaker towns of Scipio, Holden, Fillmore, Meadow, Kanosh and Cove Fort. There is a strong array of wealthy, hardworking hardwork-ing boosters looking out for that leg which parallels the Arrow Trail, and which haB on It more points of attraction at-traction than has the Arrow Trail. Scenic value is worth more and will be more supported by all the towns than is tho single argument of saving a few miles. For ourselves we think that more support will accrue ac-crue to Richfield and Its route, with to one scenic points on It, than will be given to The Arrow Trail, which can boast only "a few miles shorter travel." The trend of Utah Is for Inducements to make the tourist STAY in the state, not a short route that scoots him through without spending a dime. FISH LAKE, BRYCE'S CANYON, ZION NATIONAL PARK, with RICHFIELD RICH-FIELD and Its allies bidding strongly strong-ly as they are doing, Is certainly an array of such imposing strength that an Isolated Eastside had better look to Its laurels, and not antagonize friends who are even now not unmindful un-mindful to withdraw by a political division, splitting themselves off from that section and leaving It. We may be needed as friends later, who are now being assailed; and memory retains wrong and an Injury. |
