I. A. 150 Attend Meet At I)am Site BANQUET TOTAL In Roosevelt At MORE THAN 200 End of Program Work at the Moon Lake res- ervoir project was resumed this week, after having been shut down for nearly six months because of heavy snows. 15 men were assigned to the work by the Reemployment Service to begin Thursday and Friday. 25 will be at work by next Monday, it was estimated at the Reemployment Service office Thursday. Blacksmiths, truck drivrs, cat skinners cooks and laborers will be added to the force as the work gets under headway they stated. T. E. Connolly, contractor, arrived in Duchesne Tuesday, continuing on to the site to Inspect the work. II. J. Tracy, chief clerk, who has just been released from a Salt Lake hospital after several months treatment for frozen feet received on the project during the winter is also on hand to again take up his duties, none the worse for his experience. Superintendent Earl Walsh Is expected the first of next week. It was hoped, when the project was shut down last November 4, that It could be resumed March 1st, but unusually heavy snows and a cold spring have kept the roads blocked and the ground covered until now. With work resumed every effort will be made to hasten the work on the large earth-fil- l dam. Danger of a run off too great to be carried by tbe diversion tunnel Is threatening the partially completed dam, and it is hoped that it can be raised above the possible danger level before the run-ostarts. The original schedule intended that the dam should be high enough to start storing waters of the run-othis spring but delays in the construction project, which was begun two years ago on the 1st of May have made this impossible, It is hoped that the project can be completed this summer, however. Activities at the project will be greater this summer than at any previous time, with a larger number of men employed on the job. Besides the completion of the d,am itself, there still remains the Installation of gates, emergency spillway, outlet valves, control house, and the many other accessories of the project. Part of a $1,500,000 P. W. A. project, which includes the Duchesne river exchange canal and the Midview reservoir, the Moon lake reservoir will store waters of the Lake Fork river, for lands scattered across the North and East of Duchesne county and part of Uintah county. It Is being constructed through he U. S. Bureau of Reclamation and will be paid for by the Moon Lake Water Users Association. ff ff More than two hundred Gleaner Girls and M. Men from the Duchesne L.

Concentrated efforts for the completion of U. S. highway 40 was the chief Interest of the civic leaders from nine Northern counties who participated in the tour. All were agresd that the completion of tills highway and ita publicizing are important steps in the development of the entire state. It was pointed out that under present conditions 90 percent of the traffic between Colorado and the Northwest Is now going through Wyoming, but that upon the completion of highway 40 at least 75 percent of this traffic will be diverted through Utah via the Uintah Basin. W. D. Hammond, chairman of the state road commission, promised the gathering at Roosevelt that the road department would complete as much of the route this year as funds would permit. He said that while the stretch from Vernal to the Colorado state line had been placed on the program for this year Its construction would depend on the outcome of the present crisis In his department's finances. It will be necessary for the road commission to negotiate a large loan, he said before it can match Federal aid funds for this work. Two crews are now at work in the Strawberry valley section, he said, establishing new alignments for the highway between Daniels canyon and Fruitland, but there is little hope of any construction there during the coming year. W. D. Rischel, secretary of the Utah Automobile association, urged the basin residents to keep ol for development fighting" highway 40. Mayor E. B. Erwin of Salt Lake City assured the civic club representatives that his city realized the importance of the development of the highway and the Uintah Basin and pledged his support.
