Corporation Gets Good Oil Show ing The Pleasant Valley Oil Corporation well being drilled about ten miles west of Myton made an encouraging strike of oil August 1st. Drilling at a depth of 2629 feet they hit a small oil sand that had considerable oil in it, states Edward S. Rich, president of the corporation. In their operations they bailed quite a little of the oil out, which was of a high quality petroleum base, says Mr. Rich. 'However, they did not take any steps to determine the possibilities of producing from that sand, as they are hoping to continue the well to a larger sand some distance below the present oil showing. the well Klippel Brothers, known well drillers of Duchesne, are doing the drilling, and their present rig has about reached the limits of depth to which it is able to drill. They have ordered a new rig which will be ready later in the year, and it is possible that drilling may soon have to wait for the delivery of the new rig, which wrill be larger and able to go much deeper than the present equipment. 'UTAH Would Perpeluale Centennial Events Mr. Kofford served in the navy Pleased with the success of the Utah Centennial program of events, Governor Herbert B. Maw will name a committee of leaders in drama, art, music and athletics to study the feasibility of perpetuating national-interes- t events in the State of Utah. The committee will be asked to make to the state recommendations body legislature, and should that find it convenient to set up a revolving fund to pay the initial costs, the annual program could Governor be Maw pointed out. In the meantime, the fame of the success of the Utah Centennial has reached California and Rodney C. Richardson, coordinator of California Centennial affairs, accompanied by Sen. Fred Weybret, chairman of the CentenCalifornia legislature nial committee have arrived in Salt Lake City to confer with Utah centennial officials and learn how Utah put over a successful centennial. Lack of commercialism is one of the outstanding features Mr. of the Utah Centennial, Richardson commented. It has been a true historical celebration. The California centennial celebration will last three years and be planned in three phases: Gold discovery, 1948, gold rush, 1949; and the 100th anniversary of statehood, 1950.

Utah Raises Good Tobacco Proof that Utah soil and climate is conductive to the production of tobacco can be seen in the backyard of L. L. Jewell, 639 Cheyenne St., Salt Lake City, who has 300 large, healthy tobacco plants ready for harvesting and processing. Mr. Jewell is in a dither, however, there are no facilities in the west for processing tobacco, and the crop is too small to bother sending south. MOVE TO GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO Mr. and Mrs. 'Ed Wilkins and daughters, Louraine and Ann Ray; also Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Foy and children, left Duchesne Monday morning for Grand Junction, Colorado, where they will take up their future residence. Neither Mr. Wilkins or Mr. Foy have made a final decision as to what line they will follow in the Colorado city but there is a possibility that they will enter the life insurance or real estate business.

Pope, A fatal automobile accident occurred Saturday, August 2nd, about 10:00 p. m. on Highway 40, 50 yards west of the Blue Haven auto court in Duchesne, when a car driven by Glen Anderson, and occupied by William Jackson Anderson, brothers, and Ted Young, all of Altonah, left the highway and turned over on its side against a large rock at the bottom of the grade. Wm. Anderson, who was riding in the back seat, was killed instantly. He suffered a broken neck, basil skull facture and other injuries. The other two men were not seriously injured. Apparently the driver lost control1 of the car a short distance below the bridge across the Duchesne river and after skirting along the edge of the shoulder of the grade struck a three-poguard rail. The first two cedar posts, about 10 inches in diameter, were sheared of like match-woo- d and the third post uprooted. After completely removing the guard rail the vehicle turned over near the bottom of the fill about six feet below. James Taylor, who is temporarily operating the Blue Haven, heard the crash and rushed out. He found the car lights burning and the engine running, he states. Two of the occupants were able to extricate themselves from the wreck but it was not possible to remove the body of the dead man until the services of a wrdeker had been secured. 'Sheriff Arzy L. Mitchell was at the scene of the accident in a few minutes. He called Dr. R. V. Larson, of Roosevelt, but Anderson was dead upon the arrival of the physician. In fact he was killed instantly, according to Sheriff Mitchell. Mr. Anderson was born January 14, 1921, in Everett, Wash., a son of William and Emma E. He had lived Allred Anderson. most of his life in Altonah and was a veteran of World War II, serving in the Pacific area. In addition to his parents he is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Albin Anderson, of Roosevelt; Mr3. Maxine Clark, Mrs. Dora Bird and Glen Anderson, all of Altonah. Funeral services were held in the L D S Altonah ward chapel, Thursday, August 7, with Bishop Lester Maxwell, officiating. Interment took place in the Altonah cemetery. st IT. S.
