Little Tot Lost in the
Phoenix Park Country

Tuesday about midnight word
was telephoned from Heber by
Ranger Frank Owens that
child was lost in Phoenix Park
and searching parties we're
needed. Six autos loaded with
"rescuers" were almost ready
to start for the scene Wednes-
day morning wher a message
was received stating that the
lost had been found.
The little one-a boy about
two years old-belongs to Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Bunger of Phoe-
nix Park, and some time Tues
day strayed. unobservedly, no
doubt, from home. When it's
absence was discovered search
was made but no trace of the
lost one could be found. More
searchers were added to the
party and still the whereabouts
of the youngster proved an enig-
ma. Darkness coming on many
big bond fires were set ablaze,
with the hopes that he would
see the lights and know that
friends were near.
The little fellow wasn't found,
however, till daylight Wednes-
day morning, and all the time
had been within the circle of
fires and only about a half mile
from home. The youngster
was none the worse for his part
of day and night venture, and
when discovered said he was
going to his father who was out
searching for horses.

The people of southern Utah
and northern Mohave county are
becoming good road enthusiasts
and will make a concerted effort
this summer to build a road from
the Clark railroad to the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. This
road is to be continuous from the
Yellowstone Park to this rival
scenic wont 1T being the belief
of the people of Utah that tour
lists will make the drive from the
Yellowstone Park to the Grand
Canyon in great numbers every
year. Northern Mohave county
has some of the greatest scenic
wonders on earth and Utah would
profit more than any other coun-
try by opening them up to visit

judges to determine the winners,
the per cents were so close. We
will say for those who didn't
get dollar, they got big pay
for their efforts just the same,
when they think of the progress
they have made.
Good for Wayne Webb. He is
now promoted to the fifth grade,
and has never been late nor
