Work on the opening and fencing of a sheep trail across Utah county and through Provo canyon is expected ex-pected to begin at once, according to Sylvester Evans, a member of the committee sponsoring the project. proj-ect. At least a part of the trail is expected to be ready for use next spring. Plans for getting the project under un-der way were discussed at a meeting of the Utah county commission, state road commission, forest service serv-ice officials, and representatives from American Fork, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Orem, Lindon, and Wasatch county. A designated trail was decided upon, up-on, and following the meeting the group went over the route, which begins at the upper Jordan river bridge near the pumping station, crosses Utah county to the south of the principal cities of the north end, goes through Provo canyon and connects con-nects with the Daniels canyon sheep trail. The 30-mile-long trail will take care of trailing of some 60,000 sheep, twice a year, from the desert west of Lehi to the summer range in eastern Utah each spring and from the summer range back to the desert in the fall. Moving the sheep off the main-traveled highway will be welcomed by the public, and will represent a considerable saving in time and money for the sheepmen. A loss of from $25 to $50 in animals killed or injured is sustained by a herd in crossing the present route, in addition to the time lost by herd ing the sheep through heavy traffic Sheep herders, it is said, always "heave a sigh of relief" when their herds reach the sheep trails and leave the highways. Cost of the sheep trail is estimated estimat-ed at $25,000, with the labor and 5,000 new fence posts to be supplied by the CCC, and the fencing material ma-terial and grading by the state road commission. The fencing will be supervised by the 'department" of grazing, U. S. forest service. A small outlay will be required to purchase a few short strips of right of way to connect the county roads and city streets over which the trail will pass. Twenty-eight miles of fence will be constructed along the right of way. The fence is to be a sheep-tight sheep-tight combination fence (woven wire with two strands of barbed wire at the top). Along some county roads, very serviceable fencing has been put up by the WPA, and this will be converted to the type uecided upon. Most of the wire will be usable us-able on the new fence. Building of the fence will be supervised by the U. S. forest service department of grazing. In front of residences, a special decorative fence will be constructed. The trail will approach the upper Jordan river bridge near the pumps, follow the lower road east to Lehi, take the road below Lehi east to Second South street of American Fork. Following Second South to the Rio Grande railroad crossing by the , Beimschiissel place, the route will then follow along the south side of the tracks along a right of way to be opened, to the Lake Road at a point near the Roy Storrs property. From there the trail will go south on the Lake Road to the Sagers road, thence east along the Sagers road to the Geneva road. Following the Geneva road south one mile, the trail will then take a road east between be-tween Lindon and Orem to the foothills. foot-hills. The route through Provo canyon has not yet been decided upon due to new road construction in the canyon in connection with the Deer Creek, project. However, the trail will connect with the Daniels Dan-iels canyon trail. Murdock Named As Chairman Of Co. Commission 3rd Apportionment Lehi Irrigation Co.
