In his address to the graduates, Dean Milton Bcnnion states that the vocations most necessary to tho world today were those related to the production to food, clothing and shelter. This institution was espec ially equipped to train pupils in these , highly important linos, embracing Ag riculture and Domestic Art. Foreigners nre today doing most of the higlhy skilled work in building, engineering, contracts, etc. Much need for the young people of America to prepare to fill the vacancies daily occurring. The primary object of a vocation nhould be service rather than tho , thought of remuneration which will ' follow as a natural consequence. 4i Unmarried women with n vocation are not old maids. They have nono of the eccentricities that once character ized this class of women. There are , very few "old maids" in those days , r and they are mostly men. The present political situation is . . very serious. Bolshevist doctrines are very strong in various sections of free America. The idea that might makes right must be eradciated for without law and order civilization will J perish. At the close of tho prepared pro gram, President Peterson made some stimulating and encouraging remarks. ' The following is a list of the grad uates: Jack Fogliani, Will Jones from the Agricultural Department; Lamont Higbcc, from Mcchnnic Arts; Verdn Esplin, Inez Woodbury, Commerce; Belle Jones, Salome Smith, Virgio White, Home Economics; Florence Morrill, Lucile Kunz, Edwin Dahl strom, Wilford Webster, Eldon Schmutz, George Schmutz, Ruth Nelson, Isabellc Janson, Thelma Brown, Kato Brown, Josie Geddes, yiTrt8 and Science. .

No report of 'tho injury of Frank H,oughtaling of Los Angeles, bag gageman on the train, had been re ceived late last night by the Salt Lako office of the railroad company and it is thought ho escaped death when tho four baggage cars wore smashed.

The accident occurred at a siding. As trains had passed over the track only a few hours before the derail ment, railroad officials arc inclined to believe the switch may have been i tampered with, causing the cars to i leave the main track. W. II. Schmidt 1 general superintendent of tho railrond left yesterday afternoon for the j scene of tho accident to investigate.

The drill had then just gone through 15 feet of dark blue shale, after passing through black paraffin wax which showed oil very strongly. The showing is considered better than ever by thoso conducting tho operations. Washington Co. News. That it was a wonderful trip and that the canyon and other plnces vis ited nre well worth nil the trouble it takes to get there i3 tho opinion of i nil the party. The Washington County Nows, printed in St. George, devoted about half a column to the visitors nnd their work, the story coming out before the trip to tho famous Zion ennyon. , "Everything went alright until we started back, nnd then in the vicinity i of Beaver, wo encountered mud," said Mr. Hnnchett last night. "Tho mud continued for about seventy miles and i wns annoying to sny the least. We I camo through, though, and tho trip in i itself wasn't bad. Two members of our pnrty hadn't seen Zion ennyon nnd I the trip wns worth a great deal to them." Salt Lake Tribune. ROAD OFFICIALS VISIT THE SOUTH Members of State Road Commis sion Look Over Road Changes in Utah's Dixie. State, Engineer, G. F. McGonnglc, Engineer; B. J. Finch of tho post road bureau, O. J. Grimes private secre tary to Governor Bamberger, and Cnrl Allen, Htnte inspector of mines, spent the latter part of last week here examining state ronds and brid ges in this section, nnd in consul tation with Representatives Jos. S. Snow and Engineer Chns. II. Bigelow They wcro returning to Salt Lake after an official visit to Knnnb nnd Zion Canyon. They went over tho proposed road between Knnnb nnd Zion canyon, taking in Short Creek. The proposed short rond from Knnnb would enter tho present rond nenr Rockville, and would reduce the pres ent route between Knnnb nnd Zion canyon nbout 25 miles. Mr. Finch inspected the proposed short roud between Hurricane and St. George and said it was an ensy and simple proposition thnt would save 15 miles between tho two plnces. This simply menns thnt tho road to Knnnb from St. George would be reduced 40 miles taking in Hurricnnc, Rockville, Short Creek, nnd other settlements enroutc. They spent a day in Zion canyon and were delighted with it. The proposed shorter road between St. Georgo nnd Hurricane will prob ably bo a joint state and federal rond connecting the Arrowhead Trail south and west. While up the river the party in spected the North Creek bridge nnd other rond improvments. Mr. Finch went to Enterprise Sat urday to examine the fedcrnl post roud to that ptnec. Mr. McGonagle inspected the road to the Indian reservation Saturdny. Mr. Grimes accompanied Repre sentative Snow to the Sugnrloaf Am phitheatre Saturday. Ho praised highly the good road made by citizens to that beauty spot nnd talked in high terms of admiration of the am phitheatre, baying thnt in his travels he had never seen nnything to com pare with it. He considers it a val uable asset to tho city. Tho question of road maintenance was gone over with Messrs. Snow nnd Bigelow, tho idea being to keep the roads in the best condition pos sible until tho state can dispose of rond bonds without Bncrilco, when construction of new road will be com menced.

EXPERT REPORT ON SUNFLOWER MINE Engineer Finds Splendid Indica tions and Encourages Owners to Prove Property. Modcnn, Utah, May 24, 1920, Dr. Bergstrom, Mr. Corry, Mr, Hlg ins and Associntes, w - Gentlemen: On Mny 23rd I visited your property nt Sta'tolinc. As vvtitcr conditions were such that It was im' possible to exnmino, nnythjng but sur face conditions, will say, however that the surface conditions arc ns fine as yqu will find in any mining country. You have the best of formation and fine Btrntafication. Tho formation is Basalt, Ryolito, Phonnlyte, Porphry, nnd Quartz yhich nre tho very best, nnd nt your plnco they show mineral at grass roots. From nil indications the drift you nre running from the bottom of your shnft you should strike the veins in a distance of not greater than thirty feet. Tho surfneo shows four distinct veins between your shnft and the ledge you nre drifting for. I am of tho opinion that you arc in n very few feet of the ono vein as your drift is in twenty-eight feet. When you cut the vein no doubt you will encounter some very good ore ns tho surface Bhowing indicates such. From what I could see, I am of the opinion thnt depth is nil thnt is needed to mnke n good mine. It is too bad that the money you havo spent wns not spent on some one of the veins thnt havo such good surface showings, but tho work is done nnd you must mnko the best of it. My advice is to finish your drift then drift on tho ore, nnd nlso upraise on the ore. Find out what you have; if the ore proves a paying quality and qunntity the rest will lc ensy, but first prove your' selves. I The drift of thirty feet should be , run for not to exceed $12.00 per foot. I can't understand why you should work the third man, ns two men should be able to do all the work in running the drift. When they drill j only two can work in the breast of the drift nnd in mucking out only one enn 1 work in the drift, one on top. Two I men should drill a round in one hnlf : shift nnd muck out in ono half shift ! and do the pumping when they are mucking. Of course, if the pump i must run nil tho time it will require I the third mun. The drift should not be made Inrgcr than four or six feet nnd the ground looks soft nnd should be ensy drilling nnd break easy. They should make at least two feet per day. From the talk your man put up I be lieve ho will do alright if you give him the proper support. Mr. Drnko has the nnmo of being a good miner, and was recommended to us by a very fine miner. If you gentlemen gave up now you would never be satisfied for you nro just at a point where you should go ahead nnd prove tho mine a good one or a fnilure. Hoping that what I have said will furnish food for thought and encour ago thoso who have lost faith, I beg to remain, Very truly, ALLEN RICHARDSON, M. E The fields and landscnpc nre pretty and green now. The desert is the 'freshest nnd greenest it hns been in years. Everything looks fayorable for crops. The only troublo is that so little has been planted, due to the scarcity of help and seed, nnd tho dis couraging experiences of recent years. A TRIP THROUGH I SIJ1VALLEY I Dr. Geo. W.

H H (Salt Lako Tribune) M Dr. George W.

M "They speak in thut section of trips of H fifty to a hundred miles much as wo H spenk of stretches of ten miles in tho H more thickly settled parts. Thoso men H of science who sny tho earth is only n speck in tho universe ought to taku n trip by automobilo from Thompson tH to Bluff, nnd thoy would change thoir iH minds.

The Navajo Twins, two identical boulders of great size, bal- anced at unstable equilibrium on very fl narrow necks, are types of the, ero- 'fl sionnl architecture which thu Sun Juan river hns been producing over the unknown nges.
