CLUB TO OPEN HERE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT A new venture, a night club will make its debut to patrons of the Uintah Basin Saturday night, at the Log Cabin Camp just around the bend East of Duchesne. The new night club, under the management of Jack McGuire and Resd Cowan, will operate under the name of the Log Cabin Inn. It is situated in the big Cobblestone house previously used by the proprietors of the camp ground. The entire front of the house, opened into one big room will be used as a dancing floor. It has been wainscoated with log slabs, retaining their orignal bark, to carry out the log cabin design of the camp. Just off the with dancing floor is the bar and fittings all worked out in the unique log design. Just off the bar is the kitchen, from whence will come sandwiches and other edibles for the hungry dancers. A corner room, separated from the rest of the establishment will provide tables and chairs for cards for those who prefer this form of diversion. Favored with an ideal location, directly on Highway 40, close to but without the city limits of Duchesne, the proprietors expect a fine patronage for their new venture. full-fledg- FFRRTTARV oa icrc?

It was feared that the exceptionally high water that is expected this year might damage the canal. With these reenforcements the canal should withstand the high flood waters without any damage. Progress Increases The work project is getting under way again. The weather is warming up and things are humming again. The enrollees are fighting mud instead of snow, but they much prefer the mud. Pipeline Cleared The season of melting snow in wash basins and having to take sponge baths is over. The pipeline has all been dug up, disconnected and thawed out. The pipeline was connected up yesterday and water was available in the shower house. The enrollees were rewarded today for their week ends of hard work on the pipeline by being able to take an honest to goodness shower that they didnt have to melt snow for. The men deserve high commendation for making the best of adverse conditions and keeping up their standards of cleanliness.

While awaiting the arrival of a new one Mr. Epperly Installed the station at Craig!, returning Thursday to complete the installation at Duchesne.
