A road crew of eleven men will commence work on Duchesne City streets Saturday, June 11th according to Mayor B. A. Jacoby, who announced the project early this week. While the work, which is a W. P.

The airmail which was scheduled to catch the pickup plane at Myton was returned to Duchesne, to Postmaster Wm. according Case, and was taken to Salt Lake City the following day by the Commet Motor Express. 16 STUDENTS GRADUATE Ter Year In Advance Number 44.
