Permits will be issued for the killing of 300 does in the Avintaquin. The same number were also issued for the Strawberry area. It is expected that there will be good hunting in both districts. It is expected that this year will see more hunters out in the hills than there has been since the start of the war, as the gas restrictions are removed, and more shells are becoming available for the hunters, and in ad dition, quite a number of wai veterans have returned home. again.

Two Day Rodeo Draws Big1 Crowds; Fair Has Good Exhibit The Duchesne County Fair and Rodeo, which was held in Duchesne last Friday and Saturday was a real success A big crowd, which came from all parts of the Basin, and also from many places beyond the Basin, was in at- tendance. There was a larger crowd at the Saturday afternoon rodeo than came on Friday This was due largely to the fact that the team pulling contests were all scheduled for Saturday. These pulling events drew a lot of people, and were most Interesting, especially so as there were teams entered from nearly all parts of the Basin. The light weight event drew the most entries, although each weight had a real contest. In the heavy weight event Newt Miller with a beautiful team of bays, won first place, and after he had won the event he showed the crowd that his team was real pullers by having 300 pounds added to the dynamometer and pulling it the entire distance on the first try, A real teamster and a beautiful team. In the light weight division was the biggest contest, as there were more teams entered there. In that event there were four teams which pulled in to the 2600 pound weight. All of them dropped out on that weight, the difference between the team of Irvin Murphy and Ray Gill being a matter of inches, Irvin Murphy pulling a few inches farther than Mr. Gill. Ray Gill came back with another fine team to win the middle weight contest, and as we said before, Newt Miller won the heavy weight event. Ray Gill was chairman of the pulling contests, and it surely added a great deal to the Interest in the days program In the saddle bronc riding contests or the two days Kenneth Smith and Max Chapoose were tied for first place, Ken .Smith taking the honors on the first day and Max Chapoose on the second. In the bareback riding event Freddie Westbrook won first place on Friday, with Max ChaSmith Ken poose second and third. On Saturday Max Chapoose won first place, with Freddie Westbrook second and Frank Jackgreen third. A number of boys rode the calves during the rodeo, Lloyd Grant possibly making one of the best exhibitions. On Monday after the rodeo Lloyd got on a Jersey cow. You might think a gentle Jersey would be easy after some of the critters Lloyd rode at the rodeo, but old bossie threw back her head and struck Lloyd on the nose with her horn. The blow broke Lloyds nose and he had to go to Roosevelt for medical care. Lloyd had better stick to Herefords, their horns go out sideways. The fair had a great many fine exhibits, which gave some idea of the things which are raised in the Basin. County Agent Marden Home Broadbent and County Demonstrator Berniece Palfrey-ma- n directed the exhibit, which was lfeld in the Duchesne ward hall. Although there were many large tables prepared to show the exhibits they were all filled. Next year there should be more en- tries than were In this year, as interest in the fair is growing. The rodeo committee deserves much praise and credit for the fine way in which the show was carried on. It was orderly, and the announcing of our good friend Bish Ivie added a certain humor that is only found with him. WEATHER REPORT Killing frost on the 19th. L. C. Winslow, Cooperative Observer. |
