Probably no section of the state or even in the United States, will CASTLE DALE be found more pre-histo- ric saurs and ancient Indian than in Emery county. Castle dino- relics Val- ley Mystery Lands abound in a wealth of geological information, fossils, petrified relics and dinosaurs remains, many of which, in the past few years have been removed from the county by various museums and institutes. For this reason the Commercial club conceived the idea of sponsoring a local museum where a collection of these antique and historical relics may be preserved within the county. It was decided to establish a museum here to be known a3 the "Castle Valley Museum." At the present time, for lack of a suitable building, an offer by Nephi Williams to use a part of the Seminary building as a temporary was accepted and Mr. Williams will be placed In charge of the collection. Later it is hoped to acquire a building more centrally located for a permanent museum. A committee was appointed to meet with the county commissioners at their next meeting and secure a permit to remove from the dinosaur fields of the county some of the bones of these mam- m-seu- E.

VALLEY INTEREST , IN PEOPLE HAVE PROPOSED WATER EXCHANGE bid of the company of Boise, Idaho, to construct the Ephralm tunnel at a cost of $162,434 has been approved by the Denver office of the bureau of reclamation. Work on the construction of the tunnel must be underway within thirty days after the contract Is EPHRAIM The son awarded, which should be made within the next few days. A delegation motored to Salt Lake City last week to meet with Engineer Larsen and Attorney J. R. Alexander of the reclamation bureau relative to the construc tion of a reservoir In Upper Joe's valley. This proposed reservoir would impound from 800 to 1000 acre feet of water each year to be used by Castle Valley citizens in exchange for the higher late water that could be taken through the Ephralm and Spring City tunnels. The site of the reservoir has been visited and declared feasible and Castle Valley people have been contacted and are favorable to the exchange of the late Beck creek and other water for the in creased amount of late water that could be had from the reservoir. It is reported. The reservoir site, however, Is on private property and the price being asked for it la almost prohibitive. The reservoir when full, it is reported, would cover an area of about 75 acres. The oweners are asking $10,000 for 160 acres on which the reser voir would be located. The delegation went to Salt Lake City to see if arrangements could be made to exchange national forest property for the property at the site of the proposed reservoir. They were given little encouragement in Salt Lake so went on to Ogden to visit the district forest office there. The officials there were a little more encouraging at first but finally agreed that .it might be possible to make the exchange in this , Stuart,, representing the Lang Machinery Co., of Salt Lake City, was also a member of the party.
