Sickened By Foul Lies "I have been disheartened and sickened by the foul lies which have been spread concerning Echo .Park Dam and other phases of the project," said Mr. Stringfellow. Mr. Brictenstein. who recently took office as Colorados new federal judge, emphasized he was appearing merely as an individual citizen. He long served as attorney for the Colorado Water Conservation Board and for the past two years was Colorado member of the Upper Colorado River Commission. One by one Judge Brieten-steianswered legal point which have been raised to the project, mainly by California. Mr. Akheah said it is "now a great relief and source of great pleasure" to know that a decision has been Inade to include the Navaho Dam as an initial project in the bill...

SERVICE CROWNED WITH ACHIEVEMENT Tuesday night a beautiful, new chapel was officially dedicated by a member of the Council of Twelve, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, at Randlett which will be used especially by the Indian people of that area and generally for religious worship of all races. . . During the proceedings of the services JAMES E. BACON, who since October, 1948, has presided over the Uintah Basin Indian Mission, was released from his labors as president of the mission. . . Many fine things were said about "Brother Bacon, as he is familiarly known among his associates, and the progress made under his direction. . . Too much praise can not be directed toward this and spiritual leader under whose direction the Randlett chapel was conceived, promoted and built. . . I join others in complimenting James Bacon for the tremendous contribution he has made, both to his church, the Uintah Basin and the Indian people, whom he has been laboring with nearly six years, and wish him well in his future activities both in his church and civic life. A BLOW TO LOCAL FISHERMEN Is the announcement that there are no fish in Paradise Lake and low water in other streams and lower lakes make fishing for the season not too bright. . . According to Lynn Nickell, game warden, the outlook for a boom fishing season in the lower Uintas is not very encouraging. Not much information has yet been passed out about the higher elevations which wont open officially until Saturday, July 3rd.
