Show Road Through Utah i ' While in the city during the pres ent week, Senator Harrington of the state highway commission, stated that Governor Scrugham of Nevada and Governor Mabey'of. Utah, have planned to meet in Ely on about May 15, arid from here will go to Baker, Nevade and on through central Utah on an inspection trip o fthe roads with the object of later establishing a state highway through central Utah, over which travelers from the coast andl also from the east who desire to view the natural wonders won-ders of southern Utah will be routed. Within recent years the scenic grau- deur of southern Utah has been widely .advertised throughout the nation, as many tourists have visited all other national parks; it is thought that thousands of them will this year avail themselves of visiting southern south-ern Utah. The Record is not advised of the routing of such tourists, but it seems probable that the Itinerary would include the Yosemite, Lehman's Leh-man's caves and Brice's canyon and the Grand canyon of the Colorado in southern Utah. Such a road would prove a great benefit to Ely and all towns along the Lincoln highway or the Midland Trail. Ely Record. |
