The delegation also had meetings with the state road commission and with the department of publicity and industrial development. Details of the road project are still incomplete, but were worked out on a tentative basis at a special meeting of the county commissioners Tuesday. At the meeting, representing the Governor was William J. Eustice, state over project director, who went CarMr. with roads the of many man and the commissioners. To Start In Hit. Home Area To facilitate start of the project on May 1st, it was decided to divide the county into three districts, as represented by the three county commissioners, and work in each of the three districts 10 days of each month, thus making available as much equipment as possible. Because information on men available for the project and other preliminary arrangements had advanced more rapidly in hi3 district, it was decided to start in Floyd Cases district, on either the stretch north from Mt. Home to the Indian grazing district, or on the road east and west and south from the intersection In Bluebell. The wage scale to be used on the project was set by the commissioners at $3.57 per day for single hands and $5.56 per day for men with teams, the former to work 7 days per month and the latter 4i days to receive the $25 limit set by the Governor. A complete list of the roads to come under the project has not yet been approved, but it includes small sections in all parts of the county, where the most people will be served and where the work will be readily accessible to the workers. The project is to be administered iby the county commissioners, but will have supervision and cooperation of the state road commission. t j Continued From Page 1 used car lot. They were accosted once on the outskirts of Salt Lake City by a highway patrolman while sleeping in their car, but said they were able to talk their way out of an arrest. They traded stolen tools for gasoline at a station in Parleys canyon, they said, and near Heber, picked up a buck sheep belonging to Bill Jordan. Post and Moore said It was Giffords idea to steal that cow; he said we could trade it for somehting we needed later on. Their insistence on calling the sheep a cow brought a laugh from the officers. Arrested In Duchesne The men stopped a few miles east of Duchesne in a farm roadway to sleep Saturday night and were unable to start their car Sunday morning. They were pushed back to Duchesne by a passing motorist. Eddie Kielbasa, attendant at Gerry's garage, where they tried to get gasoline, refused to trade with them and called the sheriffs office. At the Allen Service, Earl Jensen gave them two gallons of gas in exchange for the registration certificates on their car. He noticed the single Utah plate on the car registered in California, and also notified the authorities, who arrested the trio and placed them in the county jail. Try Jail Break Sunday night the youths tried to force the lock on the jail with an iron brace which they removed from the cell block, but were unsuccessful. They did, however, damage the lock to such an extent that it will have to be replaced, the sheriff said. They also planned to knock out Warden J. L. Oman when he brought their supper, but another prisoner, Charlie Way, was able to warn Mr. Oman in time. All three of the men have pre- vious records, Post having been released for the Oregon state penitentiary last September, Sheriff Meriwether said. The two younger men have only minor offenses against them, he said. SUBSCRIBE DONT BORROW! , We Are In Duchesne BASIN LAUNDRY Vernal, Utah & TOLISH IT TODAY lstery Vacuumed Per lb.

It was while the family was living there that Dad first struck out on his own, getting a job with the D. & R. G. railroad in 1880. That fall, his father, who had moved with part of his family to Scofield, returned to Provo and Dad rejoined them, to attend school at the old Brigham Young university, housed at that time in the old Z.C.M.I. warehouse near the railroad depot in Provo. Drives Ox Teams When the school was burned down, Dad went to Park City, where he went to work hauling lumber with oxen. There were six outfits in all, hauling the lumber, Dad recalls, each outfit consisting of 6 yoke of oxen and two wagons, hauling 7,000 feet of lumber to the outfit. The lumber was hauled to Park City from Soapstone,' at the head of the Provo river. Shifting back to railroading, Dad later moved into Colorado, working on the D. & R. G. at Carbondale in the summer and freighting ore into Aspen, Colorado, in the winter. This, Dad says, was in 1886.

For instance rising eosts In paper and produetion demand an increase in subscription prices. The I'intah Basin Record has he d off this Increase as long as possible but now announces that effective May 13, the price will be $2.50 per year, in advance. Too, government demands for paper and paper products make it necessary that all delinquent subscriptions be stopped without further delay. To give our readers every possible opportunity to protect themselves in both of these movements, wc are going to accept subscription payments until May 13 at the old rate of $2.00 per year, and as an added incentive to pay up all delinquencies and pay for several years in advance at the old price, we will give defense stamps as a refund to subscribers on the following basis: fm AND STAMPS twelve-year-ol- Merrick, William L.; Alth Meyer, Frank F.; Bridged MS ter.
