A landscape scene, recently painted 1 for W. C. Perry by S. J. Jepperson,has j I attracted a great deal of interest. Mr. j Perry is naturally proud to be the possessor pos-sessor of so fine a work of art and Mr. Jepperson is entitled to much credit for 1 the production. A. M. Murdock believes in not only j having the largest hall on the Preservation Preserva-tion but also in having it fixed up to the "queen's taste." The interior has been neatly painted throughout and the building in every respect would do credit to a town many times the size of " . Theodore . President" ilJiam" H. Smart was transacting business here Monday and Tuesday ol this week. The new bank i at Vernal of which he is " president, he j states, will not be doing business for ! : several months, as it will take some j little time- to complete the kind of a ; building that is to be erected, and it was not thought advisable to move into ! temporary quarters. Engineer Max Peterson has been , , engaged by the Moyle Canal company ! ; to run a grade line so that construction ; t work could be commenced at once. ; The point of diverson for this canal is ; : about 5 miles north of Theodore on the j west bank cf the Duchesne. Construct- ; ion work on this canal began in May, :'; 1906, and water was taken out of it I the same year and gardens aid crops raised by those under the ditch. Work -j on a more permanent ' and a higher route began two years ago. The new j route means the building ol threo-quart-) ; crs of a mile of canal eight and one ; half feet above the old route, including j ; a flume which will carry the water over j the main draw, that drains the west bench country. As well as being among i , the first canals to be used ji the west-, west-, ern part of the Reservation, is will be when completed one 'of the best, in , durability and of low cost for mainten-li mainten-li ince The entire work it is expected i will be completed during the early part , of apnl when proof of appropriation will I j be made before the state engineer. i I ' 1 I |
