The project is a part of the road betterment program conducted entirely with state funds as a measure of relieving unemployment in various communities in the state. The excellent qualities of this natural resource of the basin has long been known, and success in its use for road construction was found to depend largely on the methods used in obtaining a proper mix. The state has set up an experimental plant about five miles from vernal, on a deposit that was available, and this plant will be placed on a commercial production basis for the present project. The state road program this year contemplates the surfacing with rock asphalt also of ten a miles of highway, including section now being reconstructed through the Twists canyon, west That work will be of Vernal. done by contract, the contractor having the option of using the state's experimental plant and pit, subject to the demonstration authorized Wednesday, or if locating a new and similar plant elsewhere in the region on other deposits, some of which are located much nearer to the Twists section.

Jackman Herrick of Duchesne, one of the Basins first pioneers died Monday, August 20th after an illness of several months, at the Utah County Iinfirmary in Provo. Death came peacefully, his doctor stated, after he had retired as usual at 10 p. m. Monday evening. Mr. Herrick was born in Athens, Pennsylvania, September 7, 1873. He graduated from high school in Washington, D. C. and then entered Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto, California, where he graduated with the former President Herbert Hoover in the class of 1896. He then went to Boston where he worked on a newspaper staff and continued with his law studies for about 3 years, after which, he returned to Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, Mr. Herrick passed his bar examinations and practiced law until 1903, when he went to the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota in the year of its opening. In 1907, Mr. Herrick came to Duchesne, took a homestead on Bluebench and later bought the Halstead ranch where he has lived until two years ago, when his failing health compelled him to seek the milder climate of Arizona. In the fall of 1933, Mr. Herrick returned to Utah, even poorer in health and entered the Utah County Infirmary at Provo where he died Monday, August, 20th. Surviving are three brothers: Samuel and Richard Peale Herrick of Washington, D. C. and Edward Herrick of Duchesne. Funeral services will be conducted by the Schonian Mortuary at the Town Hall, August 24th at 2 p. m. with interment at the Duchesne Cemetery. $2.00 Per Year In Advanr NUMBER 4 Reclamation Engineer Inspects Moon Lake Vacations Over Mrs. Nellie II.
