claims of his town. He said that Gun
nison furnished 40 per cent of the quota
from Sanpete county, and that the town
was able TO furnish beautiful girls in
like proportion c. +. Savage, chair
man of the committee on presentation
OF medals, said that the distribution of
honors for the occasion had been made
as fair and representative of the state
as possible, and now that II was com
pleted nothing further could be done
in the matter. The committee at first
planned to have each county represent
ed. but after thorough consideration, 1t
was decided that the expense and Jrou-
BILE entailed would be hardly worth the
results to he obtained. Accordingly, the
present arrangement was adopted as
the best one available. Complaints from
unrepresented sections were expected,
but the committee viii find it impossi-
BILE to meet them.
