His parents moved to Iowa and later to Wisconsin, where he spent his early youth. Here he met Ida May Boone, a daughter of Richard and Eliza Jane Wilson Boone and on April 15, 1889. they were married in Neilsville. Wis. Mrs. Hart was iborn February 19, 1870, in Neilsville, Wis. In the early 1890s they came west and settled in Aspen, Colo., which at that time was a booming mining town. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hart were employed in the Aspen Post Office for several years. Later Mr. Hart worked for the Denver and Rio Grand Railroad before he purchased and operated a livery, bus and transfer line which he sold in 1909, coming to Utah to file on a homestead on Upper Blue Bench, near Duchesne, shortly after the Uintah Reservation was opened, His wife and daughter joined him the following year. Mrs. Hart was employed as assistant in the Duchesne Post Office for several years, during which time her husband engaged in farming and was a carpenter on the Henry Jim ditch, a government irrigation project. Mr. Hart, assisted by his wife, was engaged in the general mercantile business for a number of years, and later built and operarted the Hart Tourist Court until 1945, when they sold the property and moved .to Springville, and also resided in Salt Lake City before returning to Duchesne to again make their home in their old home town. son-in-la- . . .

Hi-Lan- d Hi-Lan- d Oil Discovery Gomes In Near Duchesne Gity .... Tuesday night I was one of several business and civic leaders of the Roosevelt area to participate in a very interwhere one of the esting and informative largest industries in the Basin, which has a payroll of $15,000 monthly, and another $118,000 monthly is paid producers of A and C grade milk, was the host. In 1945 the Dairymen Association came into the Basin to pioneer dairy farming and develop an industry that has done a tremendous job in stabilizing the economy of the area. There are none who reside in the western end of the Basin who can deny what improved dairy farming has done for every person who resides in the area. . . The the cities farmeT the business man the housewife and counties, all are enjoying better times than they were back in 1945. To say that improved dairy farming has alone been responsible for the gorwth of the Basin since 1945, would the oil activity and be foolish and certainly not factual better farming and livestock practices have contributed In spite greatly to the changed economy we all enjoy of the falling farm and livestock prices, and a decline in oil development, there is still great hope and optimism for our part of the west. . . The new oil discovery north of Duchesne City has spurred oil activity over night, and might bring back some of the lost revenue. If the announcement were to be made that the Powder Milk and Butter plant in Roosevelt were to be moved to another location, all of us would receive a jolt just as we would if a suddden announcement were to be made that all oil development in the Basin would end abruptly. Officials of the dairy firm are concerned about the future of the Basin, just as you and I are. . They want to remain here and continue to expand their program. . . But, they will have to be assured their plant can operate at a near capacity, sufficient that it will pay a profit to the stockholders. No doubt you who make up the Uintah Basin are wondering just where you, who arent milking cows, fit into the picture. . . Here are a few thoughts you might consider: "What The Uintah Basin Produces, Will Build In other words, we have Every Inhabitant Therein" an obligation to support those who are aiding in the development of the Basin. . . How many farmers who sell their milk to the local dairy firm, buy Oleo instead of butter that is produced right here in your back yard? . . . And tha same question can be asked regarding other dairy products. Many times during the past 2 Vt years since I took over the editorship of the Duchesne County newspapers, I have sounded off about trading at home Supporting each other, and thus help to build up our own home defenses. . . What does it profit a man if he goes to Salt .Lake, Provo, Denver, or any other city or community to buy his automobiles, furniture, clothes, groceries, appliances, etc.? . , . Most certainly he isnt helping to build better schools, or city and county roads, water systems, etc, by spending his money, earned right here in the Basin, any other place, mecrchant. but at home with his home-tow- n Maybe we ought to take inventory of our own activity, and see if we are measuring up to the standard set by those who are loyal to their own communities.

Most oil discovered in the Basin sets up at 85 degrees and higher due to the high wax content. At this rate the well would yield 4,228 bbls. daily, and the average well in the Basin is slightly over 400. The new oil find is located on e a tract of land ovned by Duchesne County. However, in the immediate area, 640 acres has been unitized, with several private individuals being interested in the discovery. According to Floyd Lamb, chairman of the Duchesne County Commissioners, several years ago the the oil and county sold mineral rights to J. A. Cheney, Vernal banker, for 50c an acre, and the new well is on that property. Despite the fact that the county does not have exclusive rights on the land, the possibility of a high producing oil well gives a definite attitude of encouragement to the people of the county who, through the years, have struggled to meet their obligations and maintain schools, roads, etc. Were not counting our oil money until actual production begins, but we feel that all of us will benefit from this find, and that it will restore greater activity in oil development in the Basin, which had been reduced to its lowest point in nearly three years, Mr. Lamb said. Spurred by news of the discovery, three representatives of the Shell Oil Co. arrived at the Uintah-OuraAgency at Fort Duchesne, Tuesday afternoon and plunked down $110 an acre for a tract adjoining? the discovery area. (Shell also was high bidder .on four others of the six parcels of land in the area put up for bonus bid). The latest test conducted In morning by Carter saw the tools open 1 hour and 47 minutes.
