est fete of the season was given by
the Lonesome Pine Club at their
Club House at Jenkins in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gordon Smyth
and Mr.. and Mrs. Everett brennan,
the latter of Fairmont. w. Va. A
grand dance preceded the bunch.
and some of the most elegant and
beautiful gowns ever seen upon a
dance floor were worn. Every COM
partment Of the beautiful Club
House was thrown open by means
of sliding doors, which gave free
escape to the dancers. The room
was beautifully decorated with laur-
els and ferns, and Lexington or
chestra poured forth its spirited mu-
sic from behind palms in the spac-
ious hallway. After the dance an
elegant 4-course lunch was served
to the sixty couples present from
every part Of this section, including
Pilkeville, Whitesburg, Louisa, Pres
tonsburg and Huntington. From the
center OF the room and directly over
the merry party of lunchers depend
ed large lamp Of artistic design,
which was garnished with streaming
ribbons and flowers, and four moons
looked upon the company from the
four corners OF the room. Taken
all in all, It was the most delight

UNION SERVICE.


Last Sunday evening a union SER
vice of all the churches of Pikeville
was held at the new First Methodist
church building, which was the first
to be held in the new edifice since
its doors were thrown open to the
public. Rev. j. P. Whitehead, of
Pikeville College. delivered the in
spired sermon that thrilled the
hearts of the large congregation
which filled the beautiful flower-dec
GRATED auditorium to overflowing.
His was a message filled with such
warm religious fervor that it
wrought lasting impression upon
his attentive hearers, and it strong
ly emphasized the need of unity
of religious strength in dealing with
a world of vice and crime. 1t was
a discourse filled with common sense
and oratory, with religion any sym
pathy, with learning and love, and
its equal has rarely been heard from
the pulpits of Pikeville.
Such union services, and such
unities of sympathies cannot but
benefit the religious elements of our
city.

In dependence.

Speaking of the independence of farmers as
class. devotees of the agricultural art have only
a faint idea of the significance of the term un-
til they have inspected some of the farms re-
claimed with artesian water in the Parowan val
ley. The farmer who is dependent upon the
within of some big corporation for the vital fluid
with which to mature his crops, or the small town
farmer who draws his water supply from ditch in
common with dozen or two of his contemporaries,
and never knows when he goes to bed how soon
some theving scalawag will divert the water
into other channels, hardly be regarded as
Independent.
But take the farmer in the artesian well belt
of Iron county, principally encompassed by what
is termed the Parowan Valley, who has from one
to fifty young geysers pouring forth small
river within the boundaries of his own homestead,
with an excellent quality of soil on which to apply
it-why that is what suggests to our mind the
independence of the farmer.
In the Parowan valley are many thousands of
acres of land embraced in this artesian well belt,
and already wells aggregating hundreds have
been bored The flow from these wells range
from 600 gallons per minute to mere trickle. but
wells supplying up into the hundreds of gallons
per minute are common.
Above the artesan we'll belt. is liberal strip of
territory known as the pump belt. On this tract
the water will not flow from the pipes, but can be
pumped with gasoline, electricity or other avail
able power in large quantities. With cheap
power. such as electricity, there is no doubt but
that large acreage of good land will be reclaimed
in this way And this brings the homesteader
to the boundary line of the present fields. which
are irrigated from the canyon streams.
Most assuredy the Parowan valley is highly
favored spot from an agricultural sense, and fool
ish, indeed is the young man of that locality who
turns his back upon the opportunities at home
to seek residence in Idaho, Wyoming, Canada
or some other distant land, where opportunities
are in many instances not one-haf so good.
Let's look for opportunities in our own door
yards before going to the ends of the world to
seek for them.

Looks Like a Certainty

From the encouraging reports that continue to
come to us of the formation and capitalization OF
a gigantic company to utilize the wonderful de-
posts of iron that have lain dormant in this
county for countless ages past. it looks as if the
present project would be "sure CO." There
have beenlso many excitements along this line in
the past, of which no good has come that the peo-
pie are very skeptcal, and not many will believe
that the time has really come for the long prom
sed awakening, until work actually begins.
But all the conditions point to the fact that the
time is ripe for such an awakening. The tremen-
dous and ever-increasing consumption OF iron,
the completion Of the Panama canal, which will be
sure to bring great increase of population to the
West, the immense fortunes that have been
amassed in the iron and steel industry, showing
it to be highly lucrative. and the difficulty of find
ing probable investment for large capital, all
point to the fact that this important opportunity
cannot be passed up much longer.
Added to the foregoing the personnel of the
men behind the present undertaking and the
aggressive, busines-like way in which they are
going about it, without asking the consent OF the
existing foundries or railroads. inspires confidence
that they mean business and that they have
the courage to prosecute the undertaking to a
successful conclusion.
AS to where the steel mills are to be located,
does not vitality concern the people of this locality.
Of course, we would prefer to see them built
within the state, but it is hardly TO be expected
that the entire works will ever be established
within Iron county. Such an industry would
mean the establishment of city OF at least lOO,
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1913-11-21

O00 and there is not sufficient water here for the
enterprise At least, this is what the engineers
all tell us. But it is equally certain that the
foundries and furnaces required to reduce the
crude material to pig iron, will be located here.
and this with the mining and transporting of the
iron will require considerable population, and will
develop pay rolls that cannot fail to have very
beneficial effect upon business and trade. 1t will
also be certain to bring to us or more rail-
roads, which will supply means for transportation
for our commodities, and will develop the agricul-
tural and other industries of the county.
Taken all together, we believe that the people
of Iron county and southern Utah in general have
reason to congratulate themselves upon the en-
couraging outlook.

Good Roads the Watchword.

1t is matter of congratulation to all the peo
pie of Southern Utah that the roads of Washington
county are to be still further improved this win
ter, as the exchange of commodities between
Washington county and the counties farther north
is an important item. to say nothing of the tour
list business that will come with better
roads Iron Beaver Garfield and Piute
counties depend Largely upon the Dixie country
for their peaches, grapes, pomegranites and other
semi-tropica fruits. Dixie comes to the north
ern counties for its coal, lumber, flour and other
commodities, already, and with good roads this
business will be doubled and trebled in a short
time
Then take the tourist business. With good
automobile road through Washington county.
hundreds of thousands of tourists from Northern
Utah and the adjoining states will visit this woun
derful section, which is acknowledged to be the
peer of any country on the globe for the produc-
ton of the commodities above named, With the
question of transportation solved, many well-to-
do people will have winter homes in Washington
county, and will migrate back and forth to escape
extremes in temperature. And while this will
perhaps primarily benefit our southern neighbors,
it will also be great stimulus to the business
of this section.
Governor Spry is making no mistake in sending
the convicts into Washington county this season.
They are needed there worse than in any other
part of the state and the benefit conferred is not
Limited to the Dixie people alone, but will prove
benefit to the entire state.

capture for very long, they will at least have to
keep we'll within the pale of the law. For if by
any act they disclose their presence again, the
heavy rewards, aggregating at least $4,000. will

1t begins to look as if President Wilson had
made mistake in proffering his good Offices to
the people of Mexico in the settlement of their
internal strife and contentious. 1t is quite evil
dent that Provisional President Huerta has no in
tention of resgning at President Wilson's sug
geston, and it seems also. from the cowardy
butchery of prisoners by the consttutionaists that
the Presidents sympathies and confidence in this
side of the strife have been misplaced Once in
the mess it is hard to withdraw without compro-
missing this country and it places the President
in rather an embarrassing position. Mr.. Wilson
no doubt feels about like well-meanng neighbor
who nterferes in quarrel between a man and
his wife, and wishes he had left the Mexicans to
settle their own troubles.
