The decisive 120 vote margin of victory was a fine tribute to the leaders of the Upper Basin States who have battled many odds over a long stream of years to see their hopes and dreams realized. It was indeed a crowning triumph for the men and' women of great faith, forsight and indomitability who have worked Long and hard for more than 30 years. Vindicated are the engineers of the Bureau of Reclamation who have made the investigations, drew the maps and defended the feasibility of the great program. Oftimes they were the objects of bitter attacks from individuals and' groups who, for the great and important selfish reasons, tried to pigeon-hol- e reclamation project that would offer hope and a future for a western people. The 256-13vote was a decisive repudiation of the trickery, duplicity and outrageous allegations hurled against the biil by some of the Southern California Water Lobbyists who stopped at nothing to defeat the measure. They were positive in their actions that only their area had a right to the' benefits that will come from the Colorados undivided river water. For the past couple of years people of the Uintah Basin have had' a down in the dumps feeling that all' hope for the future had vanished and they were ready to sacrifice a lifes accumulation of land, equipment, their homes, their friends and loved ones to move to some other area where they' thought they could see' more opportunity. It is true, the economic picture hasnt been too bright, and with the cost of living constantly rising and prices of livestock and farm products declining, there actually wasnt much to look forward to. An age-ol- d bit of philosophy is apropo to this situation The race is not to the swift, but he that endures to the' end. If there ever was a time in the history of the great Uintah Basin when our people needed to hol'd the faith, it is now. y Now when the hope of a of pioneering can be crowned with great opportunities. Some day this land will become a veritable land of milk and honey. . . one of the great parts of a growing Utah that is rich in undiscovered natural of the West. resources, and a great bread-baskA few years ago one of the great leaders of the Uintah Basin, a man, who in the opinion of this newspaper, has done more than any other person in Utah or the West to bring to pass the great reclamation project that is now almost assured, told a group of weekly newspapers enroute to a national convention, that the Uintah 'Basin was one of the potentially, richest parts of the west. He told of the oil, gilsonite, potash and many' other mineral deposits that would one day be developed Mayor B. H. Stringham of Vernal (he was mayor at that time), pointed toward the site of Flaming Gorge and Echo Park, and predicted what is about to happen would happen. man who had faith Bry Stringham is not the only to fight and work for the great development of the Upper Colorado River, but he has carried a tremendous load and will continue to lead and plan until we see the great dams built, and plants feeding needed energy to the Basin large and other parts of the West where development of our resources has just begun. Passage by Congress of the Upper Colorado bill is truly for the" gigantic water and the beginning of a go ahead power projects in this region. It is the start of the great Central Utah project that will add great wealth to our beautiful State of Utah. It will see' confidence reborn in the hearts of discouraged people, who will stay here and help build this great potential inland empire that will see hundreds of new families move here to establish homes, tiM the lands, work in our mines and oil fields. All is promised and will come to pass in due time. The struggle is not over, to be sure. The bill still must go to the Joint Conference Committee for ironing out the. differences with the bill passed last April by the Senate, which contained the controversial Echo Park Dam. We must still be prepared to give aid to preliminary investigating and planning that must come before actual construction begins on the dams, reservoirs, canals and other phases of the project. Yes, this is truly The Beginning of 100 Years of Progress In the Uintah Basin, the State of Utah and the Entire Western Part of Our Great Nation. We' should praise those who have worked long and hard for its completion, and thank Almighty God for 'His guiding hand and influence. It is certain many fervent and humble prayers have been offered for divine guidance' in the battle for the great project. 6 half-centur- d hydro-electric- 1 30 Tigers Drop Last The Eagles of Duchesne High shoved the Tigers from Tabiona further into the cellar diposition in the Uintah Basin vision last Friday as they piled up 3 win in the last seasons a game of 1956.

While the weather is still bad and we can spend a little time in the house by the fire, lets get out the old record box, and see if we have a water title on our farm lands, equal to the deed and abstract to our home and farm. When you buy some real estate, you make every effort of establishing a good title to your land, such as a good abstract, which has been studied by a good attorney. The attorney issues you an opinion on the title' of your land. You may have a title insurance issued of which you go to considerable time and expense to obtain but did you look for the certificate of right to use a certain amount of water on your land? I would like you to ask yourself Sunday Program To Be Given By Seminary Unit The Sunday evening Sacrament program will be presented by the 10th grade Duchesne Seminary students under the direction of Principal Glen A.

Goal Set For Seed Producers In Duchesne County Objectives of the alfalfa seed producers in Duchesne County for 1956 include the' production of 1,000 pounds of. clean seed an acre; producers to understand alfalfa seed quality and market to highest returns; eradicate dodder and increase the scientific knowledge of the producers, according to Robert S. Murdock, county agricultural agent. Alfalfa seed production is the third' major agriculture enterprise in Duchesne County. Two and one' half million pounds of seed was produced in 1955. Common seed 0 sold for a pound clean basis; affidavit common sold from 0 a pound clean basis; ranger certified and registered sold for 3 40 a pound clean basis. Eighty per cent of the' alfalfa seed was sold during the months of November and December. One demonstration field of two acres was sprayed with a defolient, yield was increased 62 pounds an acre. During 1955, three demonstration plots were established to control dodder, two using Santobrite and one using propane burner. The burned area demonstration was established after the first cutting. There was no difference in the check, once burned or twice burned. Alfalfa seed producers organized an association in December. Also, during the' past year, 80 per cent of the producers sprayed at least once for lygus bug control, with 30 per cent spraying for weeveil, reports Robert S. Murdock, Duchesne County agricultural agent 16-18- 17-19- in the canal system check with your canal company and see if they have a certified water filing for your property. 4. Does the water right give' you plenty of water for any new land that has been put in cultivation since the original land was proofed? 5. If your certificate to appropriate water does not answer all the above' questions, then you better do something about it. I have found out in the many years I have studied the water conditions in the Uintah Basin, probably due to having an abundance of water to use, that these items have' been neglected.. I have seen abstracts of titles showing a definite amount of water from a certain filing number, and in checking at the State Engineers office, there was not one drop of water proofed for that land. In the early days, you could not proof any lands other than plow lands. Irrigated pastures were qot at that time, given any water filing. These pasture lands are still being irrigated plus new lands that have been developed both for pasture and plow land, and in most cases have never any water been asked or filed upon for this land. Now is the time for all water users to check into these matters, before it is too late. 21-2- STAKE PREPARATION MEETING IS MARCH 11 The Duchesne stake Sunday School preparation meeting will' be held on Sunday, March, 11, at the stake house, beginning at 3 p.m. All teachers and officers are urged to be present as very important material from the general board will be given to them at this time.
