Show Work For 1200 Men Possible In Uinta, Wasatch Areas Soon Preparations Being Made To Start Work Within Two or Three Weeks; 11 Camps Alloted To Local Forest Area. Work for GOO men on the Uinta forest and for an additional addi-tional 600 on the Wasatch forest in and near Utah County, may be provided within two or three weeks, it is revealed in information received by Charles De Moisy, Jr., supervisor of the Uinta forest Tuesday. Although the work is yet in the planning stage, Mr. De Moisy said, the word from C. N.- Woods, assistant regional forester, is to have the work ready to start, the tools and equipment prepared and the surveys completed. I Kutieage in cupiuu R. H. Rutle'dge, regional forester ! at the Ogden office, has wired ; from Washington, D. C, to com-i com-i plete the surveys on the Region 4 ' forest and to lay out the work. "It is quite possible that work will start within two or three weeks," the letter states. Amnner th 28 ramus in Recion 4 which are designated as the first ones to be manned, according accord-ing to present plans, are three in the Uinta range and three in, the Wasatch rang. The three in the Uinta are at Diamond Fork about 16 miles up at the Neba division which takes in the terri. toiy in and about Payson and Santaquin canyons, and Nebo and Salt Creeks and in the Strawber. ry valley. , , Tentative plans are to have 200 men in each oi these camps, supervised su-pervised in their camps by army men and supervised in the work by forestry officials. A like number num-ber would be provided in the Wasatch. Wa-satch. The letter to Mr. DeMolsy states that these are the first camps, and that it is hoped that others will be added later. Allotted Here-According Here-According to preliminary plans, then, Utah, would get 11 of the 28 camps for Region 4, or a total of 2200 men. Region 4 forest extends through Utah and Nevada, Western West-ern Wyoming and Southern and Central Idaho. Four or in iJinta rangers were In Provo, Monday, planning work which might be done on their particular par-ticular localities. Rangers Mfer-rill Mfer-rill Nielson and E. ' J. Adair of Heber, Parley Madsen of Springville, Spring-ville, and A. P. Christensen of Nephi, went over plans with Mr. DeMoisy and George C. Larsen, assistant supervisor. Work in this section will be largely road improvement, improvement im-provement of camp sites and recreation rec-reation grounds, trail building, erosion control work, insect control con-trol work and the improvement of timber stands. The projects to be done are rapidly being surveyed with an eye to a quick start as soon as the word comes as to the recruiting of the men. No Applications In the meantime, Mr. DeMoisy is not ' taking applications for work at his office until more definite defi-nite word comes. It is quite probable that some foremen will be hired from among local people to supervise some of the work, as it will be impossible for the rangers and forest officials offic-ials to handle all of it.- In addition to the forest work there will be additional jobs available avail-able at the conservation camps, one of which will be located above Glengarry, near Springville, where destructive floods- have done much damage in the past. |
