WELL PRODUCES WATER AT 34 FEET Water which tastes fine and was struck at a thirty-fou- r foot level in a drilled well at the Bridgeland C. C. C. camp Tuesday afternoon. The well which was drilled to a depth of fifty-fiv- e feet with a h hole, is operated by a power pump. It will supply ten gallons per minute, or some 12,000 gallons a day, enough, camp officials estimated, to supply the camp needs. Samples are being sent to the government chemist for bacteria and mineral analysis, it was stated. According to the Record reporter who sampled the flow Wednesday night, it tastes fine. A well drilled some time ago produced the same type of water as that found in the Duchesne city well and was abandoned. Culinary water for the camp has been supplied from the well on the nearby ranch of Sheriff Arzy H.

The case of the State of Utah Duchesne County, concerning the payment of taxes by the State on land owned by the State Land Board came to an end Tuesday, so far as the district court is concerned. The State indicated it would appeal the case to the State Supreme Court. It came to an end here when County Attorney L. A. Hollenbeck moved to dismiss the case because of the failure of the state to file an amended complaint within the time specified by the court. The motion was sustained and the case dismissed by Judge Abe Turner, who had previously rendered the decision in favor of Duchesne County when the came up for trial. Word was received late Thursday by Shelby Mayhew of Utahn of the tiagic death of his nephew Max A. Pederson, 18, in Nevada vs. Test Case A test case, which in the opinion of many is destined to make history in the state, an injunction According to the wire from Capt. Winch of the C. C. C. camp near Hiawatha, Nevada in which Max was an enrollee, the youth was struck down by a car one half mile west of Hiawatha, suffering a fractured skull. The accident occurred at 11:15 Wednesday night. The driver of the death car is being held for questioning, the wire stated. Max was the son of J. B. Pederson, who resides in Murray, Utah. His mother, Mr. Mayhew's sister, died some years ago and is buried in the Utahn cemetery. Max made his home with his uncle. He was an enrollee in the Bridgeland C. C. C. camp last ember 9th, Mr. Hollenbeck filed a demurrer, holding that the state's complaint showed insufficient grounds for action, and after a brilliant argument his demurrer was sustained. If the district court decision is sustained in the Supreme Court, it will mean that 16,000 acres of land in Duchesne county will be subject to tax payment by the state, and some 87,000 acres of similar land throughout the state.

Crocker HOUSE IS SCENE Transferred OF NUPTUAL RITES To Price Office An interesting event in the history of the beautiful and unique Chapter house of the Toyack chapter Future Farmers of America at Roosevelt was enacted on Thanksgiving night when Miss Meda Rasmussen and Mr. Clyde Davies were married in 'an ceremony in the Chapter house. The rites were pronounced by Mr. Ray E. Dillman. The bride, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Rasmussen of Roosevelt, was president of the Toyack auxiliary at the time construction on the chapter house began. Her enthusiastic efforts contributed considerably toward the consummation of the project. Her father is custodian of the Roosevelt high school. Mr. Davies is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan A. Davies of Salt Lake City. Bridesmaids were Misses Olive and Ann Whitbeck, Miss Crystal Hancock, Miss Norma Johnson, Miss Vera Johnson and Miss Helen Wiscombe. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the Chapter house, during which the many beautiful wedding gifts were displayed. UNEMPLOYMENT COMP. CHECKS TO BE PAID SOON The actual procedure for the payment of unemployment com- benefits will be anpensation nounced to the public in a short time according to Ray R. Adams, executive director of the State Industrial Commission. Mr. Adams also announced that E. J. Burnett, chief accountant, and E. C. Howe, newly appointed chief of the benefit payment section of the unemployment compensation, had been at work for some time on this procedure. A. A. Kimball of the Federal Social Security 'board spent several days In Utah recently, reviewing procedure proposals. Utah is one of the 22 states which will be paying unemployment compensation benefits next January", Mr. Adams stated. CompensaThe Unemployment tion Law is extremely technical and it has been quite a task to evolve a benefit procedure which would be entirely within the law and at the same time not be cumbersome. We believe we have accomplished this however, and we are right now in the process of drawing up the necessary forms. "Part ot our procedure will call for the benefit claimants to report to an employment office once each week. Special provision is made for those who live a great distance from an employment office. Actual payment of benefits will be made by mail. While our first registration for benefits will probably take place on January 3, it will be very close to the end of the month before the first actual benefit check is in the hands of the claimant. The claimant will probably not receive his first unemployment compensation check until almost after 4 weeks have elapsed, but that his check will come fairly regularly once each week as long as he is entitled to the benefits. On Wednesday, December 1st, the office of the National Reemployment Service at Duchesne completed its four years of serv- ice to the job seekers of Duchesne and Uintah counties, and closed its doors. District 7 which embraces the two counties is now consolidated with the Salt Lake City district, and all matters pertaining to the employment problem of this area will be handled from the Salt Lake City office. Ernest W. Crocker, manager of the N. R. S. here since its estab-lishmfour years ago, left Tuesday evening for Price to take over the management of that district.
