Prizes totalling $400.00 will be awarded by the magazine, and the winner also will get a trip to New York and Washington. The first contest, last year, was won by Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey of Oasi3, Mo. She received the title of Ace Country and is Correspondent of 1934-3- 5 now a regular contributor to The Country Home Magazine, which serves the rural sections of the country, as well as continuing her writing for the Forsyth, Mo., Republican. In announcing this years contest, Mr. McMillen said that "Americas open country raises, year after year, talents that should 'not forever go unrecognized. We know that in thousands of rural communities throughout the country, men and women are doing far better reporting and writing than many city writers do. The quality of the material entered in the first contest was so remarkable that we determined to make the award a"s the Pulitzer Prize is annually, awarded each year for distinguished work on city papers." awards Entries for the 1935-3should be sent to the magazine by June 15.

Contract Awarded For Construction Of School Bldgs. 6 (Continued on page 8) All of the main laterals have been enlarged considerably, mainly with teams and scrapers, the first time this kind of work has been done for several years. Little work was done on the smaller ditches, under the theory that with sufficient supply of water, these ditches would need little attention. A total crew of 22 men was employed for the work, over a period of a week to complete the work. 17 of the men worked single handed, while five were employed with teams. The irrigation system is now in better shape to take care of gardening needs than it has been for several years, Mr. Bryner feels. TERS RISE Cribbing To Be Installed To Divert River The WPA riprapping project on the Duchesne river was started on Monday, as the waters of the river were already rapidly rising from the early spring runoff of the melting snows. Eight men went to work under the foreman of the project, A. M. Murdock, and are now at work some distance above Duchesne felling trees to be used in the construction of the cribbing which will be installed to hold the flood waters in the desired channel. Included in the project is the removal of the point on the Old No. 1 homestead, which last year directed the river current against property at the Northwest part of town, where it threatened to overflow the banks and flood through the town property. Submitted In January Originally submitted in January the project was approved in March, but has since been held up ln the Provo and Salt Lake City offices of the WPA, awaiting appropriation of funds. Because of the urgency of getting the project under way before high waters made its completion impossible, a delegation from Duchesne visited WPA officials last week, and obtained a promise of immediate action. Although rapidly rising waters will considerably hinder the Installation of the necessary cribbing, it is expect 'd that the project can be carried forward without serious difficulty. More men are expected to be added to the project as the work expanilsi and they are made at the Reemployment office, Completed By September Construction of the three buildings is to be completed by September 10th, 1936, it is stipulated by tho contract, with a forfeiture of $25.00 per day by the contractors for every day beyond this date. Promise was made by the contractors, however, that they would be completed by September 1st. The construction of the buildings comes under a PWA project, which is financed, $30,000 by congressional act, appropriated to Duchesne county in recognition of the Indian problem here, to which is added $7,750 of local school district funds, which in turn is matched with PWA funds of $47,-25- 0 to complete the $105,000 project. Duchesne High The high school building at Duchesne, was estimated by the architects, Scott and Welch, of Salt Lake City, to cost $38,000. It will include a gymnasium and auditorium combined, 50 feet by 77 feet 6 inches, five class rooms, library, principal's office and rest rooms. The elemeiftary building at Myton, estimated to cost $41,000 will Include a gymnasium and auditorium combined, 40 by 70 feet, seven class rooms, a library, principal's office and rest rooms. The addition to the Roosevelt elementary building will contain four class rooms and gymnasium and auditorium 40 feet by 74 feet 6 inches. It war estimated by the architects to cost $21,000.
