Basin Well Represented Three election bills offered by Senator Holbrook have to do with alterations in holding of party conventions, elections and party machinery. One of these bills makes it possible for a candidate to have his name placed on more than one party ticket. President Maw of the senate and Speaker Walter K. Granger of the house were liberal in their assignments of committee memberships to the Duchesne and Uintah county legislators, the three composing the Fifth district delegation being awarded posts on 14 senate and house committees. Calder On Highway Committee Senator Hyrum B. Calder was made chairman of the important highways committee in the upper house. He will also serve on five other committees, being one of three senators to receive six committee assignments.

Duchesne Hoopsters Bow To Roosevelt Playing good fast basketball throughout the game, Roosevelt quickly piled up a lead in the first half of the game played at Duchesne Wednesday night, which the Duchesne men could not overcome, though they rallied in the second half, to make one more score than their opponents. The score was 48 to 30 in Roosevelts favor at the end of the game. Mackey, playing R. guard for the Rough Riders was acclaimed the star of the game, for his fast floor work, and consistent playing throughout. Outstanding on the Duchesne team was Murdock, substituting at R. forward. In addition to their winning the game, the Roosevelt team hung itself in up additional laurels for its foul pitching record, having scored 16 out of a possible 19.

Bishop turned in a false a larm for which he gave the following reasons; first to instruct Mrs. Johnson, the new operator, on the use of the alarm signal and second, to note the lack of cooperation on the part of Duchesnes citizens. According to the chief, the re suits were very gratifying. The siren had hardly stopped before the board at the telephone office was alive with people ask ing about the fire. This is a serious difficulty that must he elim inated for the speedy work necessary on the part of central and the fire departmnt. If the citizens do not wish to cooperate, V will turn in false alarms at all hours of the day and every day if necessary to break people of the habit. said the chief. The department asks that cit izens give at least five minutes for the department to get the and get under way. Central has to give her attention to the alarm and to calling the firemen and it is no easy chore. Every minute counts in getting the a larm and to the fire. Mrs. Johnson is a new opera tor and she is on her toes ready and anxious to help the department to work and save. I feel that if the people of Duchesne will just give it a thought, they will wait until the department is on its way. If the fire is worth going to they will have plenty of time to get in on it or they can get out and make the run with the department, the chief explained. Duchesne Citizens Get Immunizations A report from Mrs. Joe Shanks, county nurse, states that 100 immunizations against diphtheria and smallpox were given at the Duchesne schools Wednesday.
