Movement is State Wide.
The Salt Lake Automobile club, of which
Orson II. Hewlett IS president, is one of
The chief promoters Of the good roads
movement. 1t has taken up the matter
so vigorously because there was at the
time no distinctively good roads organ
lzauon- The Salt Lake Automobile club
includes in its membership not only lead
ing citizens of Salt Lake, but from near
~ every part of the state. Heavy tax
payers in other counties than Salt Lake
are members.
The meetings which we have had in
other counties than Salt Eake-fn Span
ish Fork. in Pennington, in Ogden and
other places-have convinced us that the
time has come for a concerted effort on
the part of everybody in the state to se,
together on this good roads movement.
We nave the most encouraging responses
from every quarter to the invitations sent
out for the good roads convention on the

Perhaps no state in the union has the
natural material for road building thst
Utah possesses. In the vicinity of Dra-
per there is a deposit of silica which for
suffacing, cannot be excelied except with
expensive asphalt. There are hundreds OF
acres of this deposit. which is known to
biologists technically as silica-scinter
The deposits are said to have been left
by giant seysers, the only evidence of
whose former existence now lies in the
hot springs that are found in the region
The depth of the deposits is not known
and may be hundreds of feet. There is n
face wall uncovered already forty fee.

Some Other Considerations.

Among other things that will be taken
INTO consideration when the final draft of
the good roads bill is made will be the
matter OF law compelling the use of
Wide tires. The uniform construction of

suggestion is that as soon as possible
IN the spring a sample road built of
silica be constructed on the Fifth East
