If The other two young ladies if who were successful, were Miss San Gower of this city and i Miss Bertha Whitney of Par- owan. who will occupy places on the elegant electrical float being constructed for Iron f ' " county. f The contest was begun too late to afford an equal opportun fc n " . ity to all contestants, many names being suggested too late to he entered, owing to the de- &g&ndsion.byexpAmj:y commission- p; "" night. ' Mmi "M-yiift ! Nominations were received by The Record from all over the country, one nomination for Miss Hallman being received from Pueblo, Colorado. Had the contest been started earlier or "" contined three or four days longer, the number of ballots would have been multiplied sev eral times and the interest would have reached fever heat. k and with the additional time other young ladies would have ' had a better chance to win. Of the ballots cast, 33,650 were voted through The Record, the remaining ballots being cast at the other four voting places iriCedar City, and in Parowan. Wm. Houchen and Randall L. Jones were selected as judges by the county commissioners, and under their direction the ballots were counted. A rather amusing feature of the contest vas the appearance of the name I of H. R. Stevens, 1010 votes t being cast for him for Maid of Honor. The young ladies have an op portunity to do much that will benefit Iron county, and we are quite sure they will acquit themselves in a manner that will bring credit and honor to I the conuty. i ' The vote cast was as follows: CEDAR CITY Hilma Hallman 41,090.

INTERESTING SESSION The commercial club held the second regular meeting of the month Saturday night, at which several important subjects were discussed, and action taken with respect to some. The president was authorized to appoint two delegates to t'ie national irrigation congress which convenes at SalfrjLake City Monday next, and J. Har ry Leigh and H. H. Lunt were appointed as such delegates. It was the decision of those present that the club should make a now record for itself, and with that end in view resolved to do something out of the ordinary by appionting a committee to arrange some sort of "hich links." known in every day parlance as vaude ville.. The committee as ap pointed consists of A. D. Mc Guire, chairman; Miss Mame Parry. Parley P. Dalley and Randall L. Jones. In the language of the circus poster, "wait for the big show of the seasonthe commercial club farce." The matter of badges .for members of the club was dis cussed at some length, but ac tion thereon defercd until some future meeting. LOCATES VALUABLE PAINT DEPOSITS That the mountains which surround Cedar City are rich with a variety of minerals, no one at all familiar with the geological conditions of the country will deny. More than a dozen valuable metals are known to be present in the mountains throughout Iron county, and this week the number has beeri increased one by the discovery by Marion Mil lettofan inexhaustible deposit of mineral paint pigment within two miles of Cellar City. Samples of the pigment have been ground and mixed with the necessary ingredients and the results have been astonishing to those who are familiar with the manufacture of paints. It is said that the samples are as fine quality as any pigment produced anywhere, and by proper treat ment the finest quality of paint in the world would be the result. Mr. Millett has posted notices of location on the land and will file an applied00 for Datent with the government at an early date. He is receiving many con gratulations for his find and predictions are freely made that it will ultimately prove of great value to the discoverer and also to the community. lliNJ STATION 1 MIND llC To Study Problems Connected With Forest Reserves Near Ephriam Secretary Wilson of the Unit ed States Department V Agri culture has decided to establish an experiment station on tho Manti National Forest near Ephriam.Utah, for the study of grazing and water protection problems. In fact, bids for the construction of the necessary buildings have been received and it is expected to have the station in working order before winter. Already the forest cover have begun. ' Tho Manti Forest was chosen as the site for this experiment station because it odors excep tionally good opportunities for investigating problems of prac tical value in connection with regulated grazing. Ephriam and other towns in its neighborhood have suffered sbverely from floods following violent rainstorms in the moun tains, and it has already been proved conculsive that the over grazed condition of areas on which the natural vegetative I cover has been seriously altered is responsible for tho formation waters. In a recent destruc tive storm the water ran clear from a part of the watershed which was within the National Forest, and in good condition as a result of well regulated graz ing, while from other areas it swept down sand and boulders. One of the objects of tho study will be to learn how tho maximum of grazing use of Natural Forest land can be obtained without injury to forest production and the National Forests provides range during a part or all of the year for a considerable part of the stock produced in tno west ern states. Approximately one and one-half million head of cat tle and horses and seven and one-half million head of sheep and goats occupy the forest lands each year. These figures do not include nearly three hundred calves and over four million lambs and kids for which permits are not re-quired. The experts of the Department believe that when the ranges which were denuded by any years of improper use are re stored to a normal condition of productivity it will be possible to provide feed for a much larger number of stock without injury to forest growths or watershed, and both the stock grower and the consumer of meat products will thus be bene fited. Consequently every ef fort is being made to determine practicable means of regenerat ing depleted ranges. All of the studies which are about to be initiated have this point in view.
