JAMES, county auditor, is pictured at his desk. Pictures of his father, John James, county clerk, 1901, and of his daughter, Janice James, are on his desk. Mr. James has been active in state, city and federal government for the past 25 years. The county auditor noted that in 1921 the auditor's office paid once a month and typed and signed by hand all county warrants (checks). Now, according to Mr. James, the most modern and efficient machines do county payrolls twice a month with a budget that is four times as great. Every effort is made to have the most efficient accounting system possible. The father of Mr. James is pictured at the county clerks office in an accompanying photo.

Because the rise of reservior waters is often coincident with the brooding period of the nesting geese, the nests are frequently flooded out before the young are hatched. The five experimental nesting sites are platforms built to stand well above the high water line where they will be free from flooding. Each is filled with grass hay and bullrushes to attract nesting geese. They will be closely checked during the forthcoming nesting period. If successfully used by the geese others will be constructed to further insure production of the big birds. The department noted that 99 per cent or more of the Canadian geese annually harvested in Utah are of the great Basin variety and are brooded on the marshes of the state.
