S. Kd wards, assistant traffic man ager of the Union Pacific System. The opening this year is the cli max of development carried on by statu and federal government, Na tional Park Service, Porest Service and the railroad, in which large sums have been upproprialed by the government agencies for mod ern connecting highways. History Colorful. The history of Zion National park Is us colorful us one of its own chromatic peaks. Discovered by the early Mormons when Mrlg ham Young colonized the beautiful Dixie country of Soul hern Vtah. it was! regarded by the pioneers as a place of refuge, from possible In dlan raids. The Indluiis held tin gigantic abyss in great fear and called. It Mukuntuweup, or home, of the spirits, and would not enter it far or remain in it utter nightfall, Thu net Hera called it "Little .Ion.' Occasionally : travelers from :th.el "outside" saw it and gradually ils tremendous deptliB. majestic spncos and indescribable coloring became known until it wus finally set aside us a national monument by the government. In I !i I !t It was made a national park by President Wil son. Zlon Itself is but the center of a group of equally spectaculur attractions. The multicolored lalry tund of Itryce Canyon lies u short distance to t ly easl ward, t 'edar Breaks, a monstrous bowh eroded In hundreds of Irridcscent shades. Is cut out ofthe Kolob PI ilcau to the north, and Ztolt's entrance is through t he beautiful I ixie . ciAlll try to the south. i i AtTOimiMMlntloiiH .Many. While its fame as a scenic won der grew mil lun-w ide, comparutlvc ly'few visitors were heretofore ihle to see it because ot the hick of proper uceomtiiodatlona.
