But he was on call whenever someone wanted to go through the museum. My philosophy was to play to the tourists, he said, and tourists and others came. I remember a group of mining engineers, who after first calling, came at 8 p.m. and stayed until 2 a.m. Another time a family from H v.fjngton brought friends who were traveling through. They came in the evening and also stayed until nearly 2 a.m. I think I made about cents an hour for my work during those years, he said. Funds for museum operation came from donations, receipts and the city. The most money we every got was $8,000 from the Bicentennial Commission, he said. Materials for displays of old mining equipment and other things continued and soon the museum was outgrowing its space and there was no place to put them.

I asked for it, he said. It was on these steps that Butch Cassidy is said to have stood to commit the famed Castle Gate payroll robbery in April 1897, an event that had already become a legend by the time Voll arrived In Helper. Voll is a artist of some reknown. In addition to painting murals and large format paintings, many of which can be seen in businesses and homes in Carbon County, he is an excellent One of the pened that cut the hours, he said. For one thing I realized that tourists do not stay up (sightseeing) until 9 p.m. Volunteer help from womens clubs dwindled after the first year and help from students Everything in the Store Museum' 5529" self-taug-ht carver of wood. Voll has been carving plaques for many years for various business friends and has even carved mantle pieces and doors. While at the museum, he sculpted his Little famous Joes, a series of coal miner statues. Voll came to the area in the 1920s when the railroad transferred him to Soldier Summit during the time they were beginning to put automatic stokers on steam locomotives. In making the move to Soldier Summit, I had the choice of going east or west and I said Ill take east, he remembers. He moved further east to Helper in November of 1930. But his first knowledge of Carbon County came from his father, also a railroad man who came through here in the 1880s and then was sent one summer in the early 1900s to work in Pleasant Valley Junction, renamed Colton. When his father came through in the 1880s there were railroad terminals at Green River and Pleasant Valley (Colton) but nothing at Helper and only a sheep corral in Price. He said that someone, he thinks probably Teancum Pratt, one of the first settlers, offered to sell his father ground for 30 cents an acre. His father replied, I wouldnt give 30 cents for everything I could see from the top of the " mountain. At the time he arrived in Helper, the railroad machine shop was being set up and there were about 100 men from Salt Lake City who were working on it. He remembers that many of the men from Salt Lake went home for the Christmas vacation to find cold, foggy weather while we were having beautiful weather. them returned Many of faster then scheduled and some brought their wives with them. Another busy time for the railroad was during World War II when there were 125 engines, both main line and helper engines, leaving Helper each day. Before working for the Denver & Rio Grande, where he spent 30 years, Voll worked for several other railroads in Ogden including the Oregon Short Line and Union Pacific. One strike lasted so long that he never went back, he said. I was married in June and went on strike in July, he said. During the time he was on strike and in the summers of his school years he held many jobs picking peaches in what is now Clearfield, herding sheep one summer, house painting, making cardboard boxes with a new fangled machine in a cannery and operating one of the first can sealing machines. I liked every job, he said. Two of his most interesting experiences as a young man were becoming a hobo for a short time and walking through most of Colorado and his service in World War I. I wanted to see what was on the other side of the fence, he said. In Canon City, Colo, he met the warden of the prison who gave him some kindly advice to return home. Ive got a lot of men in there, he said pointing to the prison, who started out just like you. After some adventures, Voll turned his steps homeward, finally getting tired and climbing aboard a freight train. Upon his arrival, his father was out of patience, telling him, If you had told the railroad officials who you were, you could have ridden free as a passenger. During his World War I service he spent one year in Vladivostok where the U.S. Navy was sent to safeguard American interests. The sailors lived on their ship but saw some of the hard times that were the aftermath of the Bolshevik revolution. Some of the sailors bought meals for people and once were short of food themselves, when ice prevented the supply ship from getting in, he said. Bear killing case over A jury trial originally scheduled for Dec. 9 was vacated in a plea bargain arrangement with Robert O. Anderson, Sandy, who was charged with the illegal killing of a black bear on East Mountain last October. Anderson, a former Utah Division of Parks and Recreation supervisor, pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of attempted possession of taken illegally protected wildlife, a class B misdemeanor in Judge A. Ruggeris chambers in Price Dec. 22. He was ordered to pay $500 restitution and $200 fine and serve 10 days in jail. Judge Ruggeri said he would suspend the fine and jail time if restitution is paid promptly. Rodney D. Hunsaker, Michael R. Anderson, Randy Gillett and Darrel D. Weaver who were charged with aiding or assisting in the possession of illegally taken protected wildlife in connection with the bear killing, were scheduled for trial Dec. 16. That trial was also vacated and a diversion contract is being proposed requiring they be placed on probation for one year during which time they would lose all big game hunting rights and pay $200 each in court costs.
