Show THE T H E key ey H 0 L L by the desert rat in tramping around in the hills and desert south of the little village of moab where it is reported some one had found a little uranium I 1 wondered onto a large hole in the sandstone bluff just like a window without any glass similar to some in the post office building in green river and as I 1 looked through this I 1 was surprised how little you could see up close on the opposite side but how much you could see at a distance so it gave me an idea and made me think how little a key hole is and how much you could see by looking through it so folks from now on you will know why the above heading to this column is spelled like it is I 1 thought that I 1 had better explain things to start with so that you would not get the wrong im lm and think that your curley headed publisher had set the type in the dark or had bad been drinking some of the henry mountains home made spring walter watter speaking of the henry mountains there seems to be very little differ ence in them and the hanksville Hanks ville road only maybe the valleys in the is twice the normal distance if you count the up and down distance in making a trip down that way recently I 1 saw a gang of young fellows along the trail you cant call it a road driving stakes so I 1 stopped and asked them if they were staking uranium claims as I 1 thought of there was any extra country not staked I 1 might borrow a stake or two from them and have one of the boys with the big hammer drive it for me and MAYBE get rich but they informed d me they were getting ready to pave the TRAIL so here is hoping we can soon cut the distance to hanksville Hanks ville in half and stay in the car the entire trip when I 1 got back to green ri river ver I 1 began to think I 1 had in some way got turned around and was back on the hanksville Hanks ville road until I 1 saw some lights and found out I 1 was on main street and that I 1 had only dropped into some of the holes on main street and had not run over a jeep or two as I 1 at first suspected somebody should tell the street commissioner Commis ioner about them for the longer they are there the bigger and deeper they get you know the old saying a stitch in time saves nine andin and in these modern times tires tire and springs the other day I 1 overheard overhear a stranger ask a local man what was behind the hedge fence down the street three blocs east of the post office being co bounous urious about a hedge fence as on the desert we don t have such things I 1 decided to go see just what the man was talk ing about it was not a hedge fence but only some of the healthiest healt hest weeds you ever saw and do you know right behind them was one of the nicest city parks you ever saw if the grass had been cut and trim med so I 1 have been wondering ever since why anybody would want to hide a pretty park like that behind a bunch of weeds who ever cuts them should have fir first firt t chance to us use e the fur lined bath tub on a hot day in making a short tour of the town I 1 found a ditch running right through town with water in it and later learned it was an irrigation ditch all these months I 1 thought that the high crop of foliage growing so high was some kind of new crop city folks grow but was disappointed when informed it was only several different kinds of weeds and no body knew why they grew and why no one cut them can any of you folks tell me 1 in wondering around I 1 came to a large new building and was inform road are a little deeper anyway at the present time a trip to hanksville Hanks ville ed that it was the new school house so just took a little time and strolled through it and later about an hour I 1 came away very much impressed as to the beauty of it and wondered if the students would be proud of such a building to get an education in and not mar the walls by scratching or marking on them 1 I 1 hope they don t and for many years to come the building is kept so that all will be proud of it I 1 also heard that hey had built the school house but not the sewer line sure is going to be a smelly place if school starts and no sewer line think I 1 have stayed in town too long my eyes are not what they use to be or I 1 have been looking through a crossed eyed key hole for if the center line on the highway through town recently marked by the high way department is in the center of the street something awful wrong so if I 1 can find my burro am head ing back to the desert see you next week if I 1 am able to follow the trail in PS P S I 1 am sticking this under the editor s door at the news office and wonder if it will be printed if not I 1 will blame the office mouse as every up to date newspaper has an office mouse |
