High School on Dec. p, will
certainly hail with delight the
fact that on Friday night the
boys who have won eight straight
games for Lehi will meet the fast
Weber Stake Academy bunch of
Ogden in a state championship
game. 1t will no doubt be great
contest, one that Lehi desires very
much to win. Have you enough
local pride to come out and help
the boys lower Ogden's colors?
We think so, for the boys deserve
your support, and will give an
exhibition worth seeing

Line WILL Be PUT
in EXCELLENT SHAPE
Said That the Completion of the Mis-
sissippi Central Is Responsible for
the Improvement, But Business Con-
dtions Are Much Better.

Jackson, Miss, September 5.-Im-
provement work on the roadway of the
Natchez branch of the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley Railroad has already
commenced, and it is understood that
sufficient new steel rails and ties
have been procured to lay thirty miles
of track practically new.
Most of this work will be between
Harriston and Jackson, and there are
now five cars of new rails at Harris
ton, and five at Red Lick, nine miles
this side of Harriston for the pur-
pose. Between Harriston and Nat
chez, where the roadway has had much
better attention than between Harris
ton and Jackson, a. good deal of the
track is practically new, having been
laid within the past two or three years.
There has been a renewal of the
complaints in regard to this line re-
Gently, but for number of years it
has been notorious that less attention
has been paid to it than to any of the
Illinois Central and Yazoo and Missis-
sippi Valley lines and branches, and
as there has always been a good deal
of traffic over the line, it's neglect has
been a matter of wonder.
There are indications now, however,
that there is to be some improvement
in the entire situation, and there are
those who prefer to attribute this
change in attitude to the fact that
the recently completed Mississippi
Central now affords a competition
which this line has not heretofore had
rather than to a real desire to please
the public.
