HIS POINT OF VIEW.

Rock Savage claims the honor
awarded to someone else of having
hoisted the first flag in Utah after the
receipt of the news that the statehood
proclamation had been signed. He is
prepared to defend his claims against
all-comers.
The Sego lily, the flower of the new
state of Utah. is being used in various
ways One or two Of our enterprisfas
jewelers. have made stick pins; Will
Calder, of Tree Tea fame has adopted
it as trade mark, having had one spec
tally painted from nature; and Ernest
williams, the wel-known boot and
shoe man, is also using the emblem in
his business. No matter to what uses
the flower may be put. it really de
serves a place in the crest of Utah. No
more beautiful wild flower ever grew
on the mountain slopes; and besides its
beauty, the pioneers, if history be cor
rect. found it useful as well.

an important event. Good luck to
them, one and all

No wonder there was rejoicing. Of
