Slate Road Crew Starts Repairs On Bridge and Road Out By Rovoli reports that large caterpillar tractor has been Mr. Ed Carmen brought in to assist the road crew in repairing the bridge over the North Fork river that was washed out during the high water in the river about three weeks ago. High water came as a result of Lake reservoir filling to capacity, so that all the flow that came in to the lake after it was filled had to nan out again immediately, and at that same time there were quite heavy storms,, which resulted in a great amount of water coining into the North Fork river. Near Rovoli a midge was washed out, and also about a thousand feet of the road, the damage being estimated there at about $2500. Besides that there were a number of farmers dams and headgates and measuring installations installed by farmers which will have to be replaced. It is reported that no warning of the overflow was given by the attendants at Moon Lake, although presumably they were aware of the fact that the lake was filling and also were in a position to know just when the water would reach the stage that it would run down the river in a greatly increased flow. Had there been proper warnings given Mr. Carmen is of the opinion that the bridge might have been saved, as well a3 a lot of dams and installations put in the river to control irrigation in the Moon river. It is hoped that a 'method of cooperation may be arranged whereby this expensive damage nmy be averted in the future.

He has just finished his boot training and upon his return jvill be assigned again for further training. Mrs. Anna Tidwell of Wellington, 24 Lloyd's grandmother, has grandchildren in the service. It was felt that the lack of consideration which this area has suffered from has been largely due to the fact that we have not had a live, active fish and game club, and as our rivers and streams here are among the finest in the state, we would be greatly bene-litte- d by an organization which was active, and would bring our needs and rights before the state fish and game officials. For this purpose it was decided to invite all who are Interested in the improvement of our wild life and the betterment of the Basm as a confer for fishing and hunting to meet at the next Lions Club meeting night, which is Wednesday, July 26. All are invited to be present at 9.30, and it is hoped at that meeting to organize a Fish and Game Club, and through that club build up a power which will be exerted for the betterment of the conuiLons in the Basin for fishing and hunting. We have wonderful possibilities here, but we cannot go on forover taking the fish out of our streams and also taking the spawn from, the spawners, and never planting any state reared fish to replace those which are taken avay. AH who are interested In fishing or hunting are invited to attend this meeting to be held next Wednesday at 9:30 p. m, o FURLOUGH OF JVMES I). MERIWETHER CANCELLED James D.

Stringham, Basin Candidate for Congress, Stops In City o- - CORPORAL II ROLD IVIK HOME ON A THIRTY DAY FURLOUGH B. H. Stnngham, the candidate for congress, from the Uintah Basin, stopped in Duchesne Sun-- , day evening on his way home from Ogden, where he attended a meeting of all the successful candidates of the Republcan party. This meeting was held by the Weber County Republicans, so that they might get acquaint- - , ed with those who were suocesa-f- u in being nominated on the Repuolican ticket, and were successful candidates, save Mr. Peterson. While Mr. Stringham yet has a run-of- f election with Mr. Peterson, we of the Basin surely hope that Mr. Stringham will be successful. We feel that this is once when for those In the Basin, party politics should be forgtten and that we should work for the election of Mr. Stringham. He Is a Basin man, and known the problems and needs of the Basin, and possibly never before in our history have we had so good an oppor-tunti- y of having a representative from our midst to represent us in the halls of Congiess. Corporal Harold I vie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claienee Ivie of Duchesne who has been in Porto Rico for two years, is now home on a 30 day furough. He was ill for some time, and wa3 in a hospital in Porto Rico for about a month. Upon his return to the service he wall be stationed somewhere in the states. FROM ONE OF THE BOYS NOW FIGHTING IN FRANCE Miss Laurel Wilcken received an interesting letter from a soldier who is now in the thick of the fighting in Normandy. Part of it reads as follows: Well, Ive answered your letter pretty fully, so Ill tell you some of my experience in the past month. Im over in France now, helping to show a. Master Race they're not so masterful. I have tx cn so close to death I could shake hands with it. Its really a mess over here. All the towns are tom to heck, and in case you are wondering about this writing, it's done in a fox hole, on my stomach lt isn't much, but maybe you can make it out. It s rained for the past ten days here and its a regular mud hole. We eat and sleep and work in it, My blankets are so wet you can wring water out of them. Tbe guns bellow all night so we don't get much sleep. So we dont have much choice of going to bed. We cant build fires at night, so we try to sleep. At least, I'm glad its startt d, because it puts us ali that much closer to home." Editors note We surely will ail be glad when our boys can conia home again, and are hoping that this nation and our allies will have wisdom and understanding to settle this war so that the aggressor nations will never rise again to threaten the fredom of the world. -- LETTER RECEIVED t i Superintendent Bond Reports New Superintendent at Altamont i ' County Superintendent W.
