Preparations had been made for the drive by the building' of a corral in which to drive the rabbits for slaughter. The drive was"very successful and it is planned in the near future to stage another one in which will be enlisted all the local hunters and jthers who care to participate. Arrangements will be made for horsemen to assist the hunters.

Aside from this much street improvement has been done until now there are but few streets in the entire city that are not graded and surfaced. The city park has had placed In it $ 1,000.00 in play equipment. The city water and sewer system has been improved and the cemetery improved. The grand total cost of all these improvements amounts to more than $229,000.00. - : ' New city plots have been set out in which many building" lots have been ; sold and upon wheih are contemplated more homes. The progress and improvements of the city are reflected in the progress and growth through the entire valley, where many modern homes have been built These homes are the equal of ; any to be found in the city. . Fine barns and sheds have been erected and modern equipment placed in them as well as in the home, made possible by the general extension of the ser-- . vice of the Utah Power and Light Co. Where a few years ago there were ' no barns and coops, now stand modem buildings of this kind filled with cows and chickens, two branches of agriculture that have grown by leaps and bounds, and which have been a important factor in the prosperity of the , country. Through Federal and county aid oiled and surfaced roads lead to and from the city and dot nearly every section of the valley. Modern farm tools can be found on nearly every farm. New methods have taken the place of the old ones. Diversified farming is being followed with sue- -' cess. The Bear River Valley holds out golden opportunities. It is a land of fertile soil, sunshine and abundant' water. In it can be grown and are now' being grown, successfully the basic crops of agriculture. With the new methods in beet raising that crop is again coming into its own, canning crops yield heavily, beans are a proven crop, potatoes, grains and kindred crops are profit- able. Cattle and hogs, have proven profitable, as well as sheep, the dairy cow and chickens have become the mortgage lifters, all of these and other industries flourish in the great Bear River Valley. As the past year is viewed altogether it was one of progress and . normal prosperity. As 1930 dawns, with the experiences of the past, faith, hope and courage should burn in the soul of every man. Providence has smiled on this fair valley and to all its inhabitants, in the proper spirit and attitude proclaim its future growth and Progress. . t S-ea- . : ; 1 . ; , Mrs. AHceV Leavitt entertained the followiruig guests to a turkey Christmas dinner: Mr. and Mrs. Jean Leavitt and baby, Ray and Thalis Leavitt, Mrs. Cloe Anderson, Mr. Dell Hinman, -- Miss Mae Taylor, Frank Muir Mrs. Clara and Allen Blain, Mrs. Mrs. N, E.
