II has been suggested to The Rec
ord that with so many railroads build
ing into Cedar City it would be well
for our town planners to take steps
now to secure the erection of a union
depot. Experience has taught people
in other congested centers that the
union depot is great convenience
to both the people of the city and the
travelling public. The suggestion has
the endorsement of The Record, and
is referred to the mayor and city
council, with Architect Jones associat-
ed, for further consideration.

BOY SCOUTS TAKE
ENJOYABLE HIKE
Scout Master Sharp Pilots Boys Over
Mountains to Cedar Breaks. Nam.
moth and Panguitch Lake.

Last week, Friday morning. the Boy
Scouts and club workers of Cedar and
Parowan saddled their horses, packed
their kits and left for the Mammoth.
IL was happy bunch that pressed
their way up the mountain side and a
hungry. crowd when we reached the
top of the Cedar Breaks. The Cedar
boys went up Coal Creek canyon ard
met the Parowan boys at the Adams
ranch on the Mammoth. A short way
from there camp was pitched. the
, horses turned loose in grass to their
knees and supper prepared. After a
hearty meal we walked over to see
the sun set on the Cedar Breaks. and
If any one wants real inspiration,
they need but spend an hour drinking
in its wonderful sights, the beautiful
coloring of which cannot be more than
equaled in the west.
After returning from the Breaks,
games and wrestling filled the even
ing hours until the weary boys all
dropped down on their pine Dough
beds and most of them were soon
asleep.
Saturday morning the boys arose
at all hours from 2:30 until o'clock,
cooked good breakfast and were off
to see the sun rise on the Breaks.
Packs were then assembled and the
happy crowd about 35 strong rode
down among the pines and grass of |
the mountain. At the Equitable saw
mill we made a short halt and watched |
them change the large saw logs into
piles of lumber.
The day passed quickly and late af-
ternoon found us at the beautiful blue
spring of which we hear so much, and
it surely comes up to all expectations.
The water is so clear and blue that
you can see penny drop through it's
20 or 30 feet of water tosthe bottom.
Evening found us at Panguitch
Lake tired out and ready to sleep
without cutting feathers for our beds.
Next morning, after good nights
rest, the Parowan boys saddled their
horses and left for home, going by
The Hoosier Lake to have a swim. The
Cedar boys spent the day at Pang-
hitch lake fishing and swimming, and
t is surely treat to watch them
swim. If those in Cedar who doubt
he value of the swimming pool could
realize the good it is doing for the
young generation their doubts would
vanish. In the evening the boys rode
over to Hoosier lake in Parowan can
yon and Monday wended their way
home.
The trip was pleasure throughout
and although we trave:ed a long way
the sights were so interesting that it |
was worth while. The boys took turns
cooking and washing dishes, learned
the poison plants and the difference
between the evergreen trees of the |
They are looking forward
to another hike.

1t is stated on good authority that
from five to ten thousand additional
bushels of wheat was produced this
summer in the Cedar Valley in the
outlying farms as direct result of
the five or six days water loaned by
the owners in the older fields. This
tends to show what we could do here
