SAHARA.

Frank Hedrick is doing a bit of
contract blowing for Mrs. Guy John
stone, at present, after having com
pIeted contract for Mrs. SCHNEIDER.
We hear that our latest star, Athol
Griffin, has reached Camp Lewis all
O. X. and is going through the gentle
tuition Of the awkward squad Of
rockies.
Guy Johnson made flying trip to
Lund Sunday returning the same ev-
ening by auto. Mrs. Hal Griffin, Miss
Grace Magnussen and --- made up
the auto party.
We will have regular services each
first Sunday from now on conducted
by Rev. Rice of Cedar City. We hope
and expect to see most Of our colony
at these services.
Mrs. J. F.. Farley informs US that
she is expecting Mr.. Farley home in
about two weeks. He will find gen
uine welcome awaiting him as he has
many friends in our little colony.

Thursday night we met at Mr.. Mag
nussen's for a rehearsal of the pro-
gram for flag dedication. After the
rehearsal we all adjourned to the
school house for an informal dance
which was enjoyed by every one.

We noted train load of Bucks
west bound last week. Forty-seven
cars, five machines to car. No Won
der California is leading the United
States in autos. This makes the Bird
train load noted by the writer since
January LIST.
Frost and ice Saturday night, April
18th. However, it did not seem to
hurt rye and sweet clover so far as
we can see. But it has been generally
cold and disagreeable for several days
past. In fact, ideal weather for colds
and leakage Of the nose.
Our service flag is a humdinger.
We didn't like the looks Of it at first
so we changed it to suit our own ideas.
We expect real nice time on the
Goth when we will formally dedicate
this flag to our absent ones, and we
intend that this flag shall keep fresh
in our memories, our boys, whether
they achieve renown or not
Another one Of our stars, Guy John
stone, is somewhere in Texas camou-
flaging with the aero squadron. His
address follows:
Guy l.. tombstone, Kelley Field No.
/, Line l15, San Antonio, Texas.
Write to him in your leisure mo-
ments, and to all Of our stars whose
addresses appeared in last weeks is
sue of the Record.
Hal Griffin is in receipt of ship
ment of trees from Salt Lake City,
some of which he informs us are for
sale. Quite a few are putting out
trees with varying success. So far,
II. o. Dougherty has the best collec-
ton. Chas Magnussen set out quite a
few trees and shrubs in the interests
of the Salt Lake Route. BY actual ex-
pertinent we have proven that quite
a variety of fruit and shade trees
will grow here if properly cared for.

Our good roads committee is get
ting busy and repairing some of the
various roads leading to Sahara, We
note some repair work near III. O..
Dougherty's claim and couple of
bridges will be built on section line
roads crossing the dry wash east Of
Sahara One on Jim Bakers claim and
one on j. b. Reynolds claim. This is
an excellent beginning and also a
much needed improvement as the time
is rapidly coming when the struggle
ing roads criss crossing the desert
must be made TO conform with the
section lines.
The writer made a flying trip to
Cedar City on post office and well
business this week, riding horseback
to Lund and staging from there to
Cedar and return, then on the hurri-
cane deck of horse again back home,
arriving in nasty storm of mingled
rain and hard snow. We had no time
to hunt up friends in Cedar, just had
time to say halo. One thing we noted
enroute was the greatly improved con-
dition of the roads into Cedar City.
The Cedarites are to be congratulated
on this improvement as these same
roads were simply vile last February
when we made the trip over there.
