We wonder why .our larger cities did not awaken to euih a road before. The road represent a n-c,i rnss 'placed oti oiih- state. Beginning at the east there is Vernal, Roosevelt, Myton, tapping the rich Uinta basin; Price Huntington, Castlo'ate, Kmery, Rallna, iielifleld, Marysvale, Beaver, Vi'tlford to Garrison on the west buundry of the state, and then the road would continue nearly directly west to San Francisco. Under present pres-ent com'it'ons we go west from the northern part of the state in-h in-h trad of t he central pft, and miss the center of cur population. This prospective road then starts at I ogan and goes south to Brigham "i'y, Ogden. Salt Lake City. I, eh', American Fork, Provo, Payson, N'ephii, Fphraim. Manti, Salina, Rich-felil. Rich-felil. 'Cedai- City, St. George and on to Los Ancles. California. It will thus be seen that the members mem-bers of the R'ehfield Commercial Cab have carefully planned a cross road running through al'. the lriivr c'ties of the rd-ite, and which roads alio strike into the very heart of our great scenic wonders of the state many of which can only be reach".! over pod. i dirt roads at the present "ue. Foi-H"ia:d'.y Richfield, that city occupies an enviable portion po-rtion almost at the cross section of the li'g Cro;s. Utah is lornr tour'st traffic and is also depriving herself of certain n forts a::a essentials for which C i e is little or no excuse.
