lice desk sergeant. strolled into
ono OF Birmingham upstairs
barber shops Wednesday after

quite familiar to his ears in
small room several feet away.
He approached the room and as
he stepped into the door his be-
wlldered eyes gazed down upon
four negroes engaged in the fas-
cinating game OF Shooting
craps" So intently absorbed in
the game were they that they
did not hear the approach OF the

once then he Jailed the negroes.
They will appear for trial Thurs

STEEL PLANT TO
BECOME A REALITY

That the much talked Of steel
plant isto become a reality and that
a $15,00o.C00 corporation will build
a steel industry in this state within
the near future, was made known
when wiggington e. Greed, presi-
dent Of the Pacific Gas q Electric
company and Of the Columbia Steel
company, formally announced that
% new concern to be known AZ the
Columbia Steel corporation, has ac-
quired the coal properties Of the
Utah Coal and Coke company in Car
bon county, and vast iron deposits
In Iron county. Utah, a. we'll a.
other interests closely connected
with the great industry.
While definite information rela-
tive to the site OF the steel plant
was not given out by Mr.. Greed. II
Is regarded as highly probable that
the blast furnaces ana the by-pro-
ducts Coke oven will be erected In
thu Springville site. II ID understood
that the steel corporation people
have accepted the site offered BY
the people Of springville, which en-
braces 400 acres of land lying to
the north and west Of that city, and
a transfer Of the property Ia said to
have been negotiated.
Conditions on the shores Of the
Utah lake are said to be ideal for
Industrial purposes In the excellent
transportation facilities, the proxim.
ity OF limestone and other products
required, the availability OF ample
water Of fIne quality, in the room
for future expansion and pleasant
surroundings for employees.
Utah Lake is only about seventy
miles from the coal properties neal
Castle Gate, with direct rail connsc.
lions. and about $50 miles from the
iron ore in iron county.
|. Associated with Mr.. Greed In th<
develorment Of this project Of vast
significance are Utah men who have
been instrumental IN presenting the
need for the development OF the raw
materials which this state has to Of
fer in such abundance. Among these
are w. w. Armstrong. president o.

Mr. Greed said further: THE CO.
lumhfa Steel company has been In
vestgating the properties OF the
Utah Coal and Coke company for the
past eight months, during which
time ~ o' the properties purchased
wore tested by experts and the entire
situation gone over with marked
degree Of thoroughness. Coke ovens
were constructed near Castle Gate
and the coal actually tested in this
manner, thus eliminating any pos
;sible error which might be made in

"The purchase Of the properties

VETS. PRAISE UTAH
COUNTY'S HOSPITALITY

The following clipping from the
San Francsisco Daily News tells how
well the disabled war veterans en-
route to the convention in California
were treated while in Utah County,.
"One reason why II took the he
roes' special train 10 days to come
from Chicago to San Francisco
Practically every town along the
line insisted that the train stop
while the local populace swarmed
aboard. took the veterans off the
train and entertained them and fed
them.
Provo. Utah. insisted that the
train stop while they served the
boys ice cream, cake and strawber-
ries. Twas O'Clock In the morn
ing and the veterans were sound
asleep but the citizenry, headedby the
mayor. the towns brass band and

The boys took the speechifyins
while lying down. listened to the

for breakfast later in the morning.

In his statement Mr.. Greed said:
The Columbia Steel company has
acquired the coal properties Of the
Utah Coal and Coke company In Car
bon county and extensive iron prop
critics In Iron county, Utah. The pur-
chase Will be Effected through the
organization Of the new corporation
to taape over the rolling mills and
steel foundries Of the Columbia Steel
company and the assets Of the Utah
Coal and Coke company. An inten-
sive Investigation, extending over q
per'od Of more than eight months,
has demonstrated that the Utah coal
and iron properties can be used to
form the basis Of an independent
steel industry for the Pacific coast
and mountain territory. Definite
plans have not been matured except
to the point Of effectins the pur-
chase and consolidation. but the
