Funny, but the sight of thousands
anxious to get back to Los Angeles
running away from the Interurban sta
ton was a real sight at Long Beach
This was because the thousands who
were waiting found that the cars which
they waited for were full when they
arrived. Accordingly they hurried up
the road to meet the incoming cars and
soon the "station" was transferred sew
eral blocks up tho road, with sub-sta-
tions at every curve until the crowd
at the regular station was composed
largely of those unable to fight for seats
elsewhere, or too lazy. The plans of
the company to load the cars only at

minutes after the fleet was at anchor.

The breakwater was alive with
scrambllng human beings, deposited
there all morning by the launches and
remaining there till darkness itself
drove them shoreward. Those who
could not go by boat made the adven-
turous trip along the breakwater afoot.
Out on the highest points on Dead
mans island the venturesome patriots
had made their way, each with a cam
era, horn or flag. 1t was an inspiring
sight, never seen here.
Big craft, comprising all the avail
able sea-going steamers In the har-
Dor, were filling rapidly with passen-

lead the welcoming flotilla. AS soon
as their capacity had been sold out

course toward the south, venturing to

The wool produced is of exceptionally
fine quality. This Is due to the fact
that the climate is dry and there is lit
tie wind to blow sand and dust upon
the sheep. The hcr6ars. too. give
their hocks frequent Clippings, thus
keeping them in Il healthy condition.
The principal markets for the Uintah
county sheep are Denver, Kansas City,
Omaha and Nebraska, while Boston
and st. Louis are the receiving points
for wool All Of the sheep men own
their spring and fall ranges which
were purchased from the state; and
during the summer months the timber
lands of the Uintal mountains are
used, the grazing being eight cents

eXpanse of valley area lies the great
est known gas field in Utah and be-
sides there are in the county unlimited
quantities of limestone. quartzite, sye-

building materials.
Already there are several mines near
Brigham, and though coal has not yet
been found it's associated minerals
natural gas and asphaltum, are present
in many places.
There are extensive mari beds four
miles northt of the city on what was
once known as mere alkali fiat. In
stead of finding alkali, the chemist dis
covered 81 per cent carbonate of lime,
Z 1-3 per cent silica. 10 per cent alum
ina and iron oxide with no objection
able rebelious elements in the deposit.
This deposit was found for depth OF
nine feet over a surface of 1900 acres
This deposit of mari, by itself, has
not the chemical elements in proper
proportions to make Portland cement
but fortunately, directly underlying.
there is blue clay which by analysis
shows 40 per cent In silica, II per cent

There is of course reason underly-

clay was left over the surface OF the
valley during the recession of the wa
