Show T TO EVERY EVERT VOTER VOTED I OF DUCHESNE COUNTY I II My Myton ton is the Logical Place for the County Coun Coun- Seat Seat Good Good Reasons ty Given in Following Article The principal topic of the day in every community in the new county of Duchesne is and willbe will willbe willbe be until after the election the location of the county seat This goes to show that the people are vitally interested in this question and that is as it should be The voters of the new county should consider the question well before casting their ballot in the coming election Every voter should be beable beable beable able to give a reason to himself at least why he votes for one place in preference to another forthe for forthe forthe the location of this county seat Aside from sentimental reasons which we all have in our own community which makes all ofus of ofus ofus us want to see the county seat located in our own town the Question should be decided from the standpoint of the most good for the most people The only c candidates t that will be bein I in iii the race to the finish from are Roosevelt Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne and Myton 1 Roosevelt if we can give credence to all Government maps is located in its Uintah and not Duchesne county If this is true trite and noone no noone noone one has as as yet been able to prove or disprove the assertion then Roosevelt should be counted out now There are other reasons why Roosevelt is not the place for this location Our claim was when we begun trying to get a new county that Heber was on the extreme Vest Western ern edge of the county and was too far away for the people from this side of the county to make the trip to the county seat If that was true then and everybody will admit that it was so why is it not rat just dust as true as regards Roosevelt and the thc people on the West side of the new county Certainly it is Besides if Roosevelt should prove to be in Duchesne county it certainly is not more than one-half one mile from the tite county line and it certainly is not just to the people on the West Vest side of the county to put the fife county seat in a place that will cause them to go entirely across the county to get to the county seat And if Roosevelt should get the decision and it should prove to be the case that the town is in Uintah county instead in instead instead in- in stead of Duchesne county comity What then Sure enough enough What What then No one has so far been found who can tell at all what the consequences would be The chances are however that the whole thing from the creation of the new county to the location of the county seat would be declared I ed illegal and we would resume our trips across the tho mountains I to Heber as and our dream of a Duchesne county would be a n thing of the past I While there can cart be bp no question that Duchesne The Duchesne The city of I Boosters is in the new county county- and right in the middle of it too I as far as geographic lines are I concerned yet it is a long ways ways ways' from the center of the population 1 tion now or in the future Take J the tte territory South from Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne and there are hist about C Cas as many people located there now as there ever will be There is lots of room for more but people t do not to locate in the kind of homesteads they would rould find there for it rt is too far from water The same condition is in a smaller small small- er way true o of the country west of Duchesne While there is much more farming land on the West Vest than Ulan there is in the South of Duchesne a lot of it is being bought and held for range land and for this tins reason will never have the population that it would were this not the case Take the townsite of Duchesne and it is not an ideal location for forthe forthe forthe the county buildings It is too low and inclined to be wet and swampy When the people goto go goto goto to the county seat they like good dry hard streets and it is going to cost somebody a lot of money before this can be found in the city of Duchesne For reasons stated above Duchesne is rs in a away away way similar to Roosevelt for the reason that there can never beany be beany beany any great increase in the population population population lation either to the West or South of the city and for that reason it must always be in what might be termed the corner of the population True the population population lation will increase increase and and largely too to the North and East of Duchesne DuI Duchesne Du Du- I chesne but never to any great extent to the So South th and West Myton is surrounded on all sides sides North North South East and West with West with thousands of fertile fertile fertile fer fer- tile acres of the finest farming fanning land in the state It has always been and always will be considered consider consider- ed central a point paint and it is located located ed where it could not be other other- wise As the increases as it is bound to do in the near future My Myton ton will become more of a center of f industry and prosperity prosperity prosperity pros pros- and when that time comes as as come it will will and and in the near future too 1 too Myton's future is assured Take the geographic geographic geographic center and the center of population of the new county and combine them and strike an average and it will be found that Myton lyton is near nearer nearer r the exact centre than any other place in inthe inthe inthe the county who lay claim to coun coati county county ty seat honors and as the population population population lation increases it will Become nearer so Myton's 1 location is is' is ideal it is on the survey of what is going to be one of these days a main line litre of a n transcontinental trans tal railway as well as the ocean- ocean to-ocean to highway It is located on the bench where it will always he be high and dry and in no danger of becoming muddy and boggy boggy- our streets will always be high and dry and not Trot almost impassable impassable impassable able fora for a month or so in the spring With all due respect to the claims of Roosevelt and Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne for county seat honors Myton l is the logical place for the honor and as such will be demon demonstrated on November 3rd It would be a physical impossibility impossibility impossibility to make the location bene be benear benear ne near tr everybody's home so the only thing left to do is to cast ones ballot with the idea in iii view that it will do the most good Rood for forthe forthe forthe the most people and to be absolutely absolutely absolutely sure sort that where ever it is located that it will be in Duchesne Du- Du chesne county vote for Myton 1 and be sure I 1 Myton ton Campaign Committee Wm Vm C Chairman airman |
