Elucidating on the subject. the
Salina Call under the heading, "Sa-
lima Canyon-Emery Road Gets II In
the Neck-The Best Route and Fin
khed First, But II Ia Kicked. Lied
About, Knocked and Ignored" fayB:
"sallna and part Of Emery county

Mary wears her beads In the matter
OF the Midland trail, 40 e seems.
Our people are not back yet from

celved. II Il evident. however. that
the auto tourist party was influ-
onced 20 go by way OF Price and
Price canyon. The Sallna canyon
