Anton Nielson, a former mayor, first credited some" of the earlier citizens for their work in building up this community. The late Joseph E.

The electric light system came in 1914, and Huntington changed from town to city status in 1921, with Miller Black as mayor. More recent accomplishments were mentioned by present Mayor Willard Sandberg and by H. member of the P. Brockbank, 1S39 city councij, which launched the new city hall as an NYA project.

Hardy ories of who told following many times to Mrs. Ace Roberts, of Price, who was too young to be afraid and also too young to remember a thrilling ride with a Robbers' Roost desperado: Mrs. WUliam B. Hardy and infant daughter were en route to Huntington to visit Mrs. Hardy's grandmother. Mrs. Hardy was planning a trip to Canada and wanted to make a visit before leaving. As the stagecoach lurched on a rocky road to Price, a bandit, jumping from shrubbery, ordered the driver and passengers to "get 'em up" and fired several shots from his revolver. The bandit ordered the driver and inmates of the coach to alight and then confiscated their weapons. After robbing three men, the bandit peered into the stagecoach and saw a woman huddled in a corner with a baby in her arms. "Step right down, ma'am," he ordered. The child In the woman's arms sat up at the sound. The hood fell back from her face, showing dark eyes and thick brunet curls. Unafraid, the baby stared at the robber. and the rob"Well, I'll ber swore softly. The woman gathered her belonging ciose about her and clutched the baby in fear.

Explaining that his horse had been shot from under him, the bandit took a seat beside the woman and her baby and rode 10 miles in the stagecoach. He them ordered the vehicle to stop, and disappeared into the brush. Mrs. Hardy asked the driver: "Did you know him?" Nodding grimly, the driver said, "Lady, you can tell the world you've been riding with the leader of the Robbers' Roost outlaws (and lucky for you It is that the baby took his eyes." be" -- o Water Shortage Foreseen for Late Fall Crops HUNTTNOTON The earlier grain crops are ripening pretty fast around Huntington, and it's a good thing, because the irrigation supply is getting short. Water was turned out of the three smallest reservoirs early in June, when farmers raised their first cry for moisture. During the last few days, gates have been opened at the Huntington and Cleveland reservoirs. Directors of the Huntington-Clevelan- d Canal and Reservoir association say the remaining storage volume will not last more than three weeks at the most. These storage ponds are all on top of the mountains near the head of Huntington canyon. Lack of rainfall through the spring and early summer has made the mountain range very dry, stockmen report. More rain must have fallen on the west side of the Wasatch range this season, as Fairview sheepmen said during the week that range forage on the Sanpete side is plentiful and their stock is in fine shape. There were frequent showers there until the middle of May, he reported, but none since then. Some grain crops promise good yields under the Huntington-Clevelan- d irrigation system, which has nearly 20,000 acres Weevil greatly damaged the first crop of alfalfa .Greater use of phosphate fertilizer, and a gradual extension of rotation plans have already brought results in higher yields on farms, where these are tried. o club met at The Hasnyea the home of Mrs. A.
