All of these people put many long hours in their farms, and homes to make Emery County one of the better livestock and ranch areas in the state. Them old farmers from "Down south have really made this county come alive. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Olsen from Ferron recently sold their ranch to United Home and Reality Co . of Salt Lake. The owners of this Company are Fredrick M. Pollson, Mr. and Mrs. Elwin C.Trappand Mickel Stagg. United Home gave Mr. Olsen $246,800 for his holdings which included his home, 315 acres of land, 100 head of registered herefords, plus his bulls and all of his machinery. Boyd and his family was one of the first ranches in the area to raise registered herford cows and bulls. Mr. Olsen also sold his land in the Orangeville area to United Home for $60,000. Boyd has moved his family to a new home in Ferron and plans to retire from ranching in about five years. In the selling agreement , Boyd will help United Home with the ranch for five years. When Boyd said I dont think he meant it like the word "quit, in any case, we congradulate the Olsen family for their contribution to the Emery County "retire, Cattle Industry. Another family in Ferron also sold their ranch and home to United Home and Realty Co., and they are Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wareham. The Warehams live (or did) on the south side of Ferron and I dont think theres a soul in this county who has been to Ferron, that dont know where the Ray Wareham home is. Ray spent more hours on this picturesque ranch home than most people spend fishing in a life time. You just didnt pass on the road in front of this home with out looking three times and wanting to look some more, and then stop and walk around and look inside. Ray sold this home, 315 acres of land, 100 registered herefords and all of the machinery for $215,000. The Warehams also were household names when it came to cattle ranching and farming and we wish both the Olsens and the Warehams well in what ever the future brings. (You guys enough!) cant retire, youre not old wte Last m a very close race for a commissioners seat incumbent Gardell snow ofFe-rr- on edged out Vail Hatt of Green River by the narrow margin of 16 votes, 1266 to 1250.

A new type of drain pipe was installed ' in Emery County this past summer, cleve Johnson has been plagued by high water trou ble on his farm, east of Cleveland, for the past few years. Cleve has installed several other types of drains that have proven successful. This time however, he decided to use a perforated, corrugated plastic pipe. The pipe comes in rolls up to 300 feet lengths, with diameters of 4,6, and 8 inches. A roll weighs from 75 to 100 lbs depending on diameter and can be fasily handled by one man. Lester Minchey excavated 1000 feet of trench by backhoe. Cleve hauled his own gravel, installed the pipe, and backfilled the trench. Gravel is placed around the pipe to filter out silt and allow water to enter. During the summer months approximately 150 gallons per minute flowed through the outlet of this drain, some difficulty was encountered when laying the pipe through a short distance of very wet ground. The banks caved in and pushed the pipe out of alignment. This situation was soon remedied and Cleve was satisfied with a job well done. Does one vote make a difference? R did in the election held Nov. 6 to fill four positions on the Bureau of Land Managements Price District Advisory Board, jay L. Critchlow of price, Utah, received one vote more than Lee Thayn, also of Price, so Mr. Critchlow will represent the cattlemen from precinct 1 on the board. Another newcomer to the board will be Stewart Wilson of Green River, Utah, elected by the sheep operators to represent the sheepmen in Precinct 1. Also elected were incumbants Ellis Wild of Ferron, Utah, and Arthur Ekker of Grand Junction, Colorado, cattlemen representatives from Precincts 2 and 3, respectively. Clipper and Western Canal National Forest to consolidate districts Manti-LaS- al Forest Supervisor George F. McLauNational Forest ghlin of the Manti-Las- al today announced consolidation of the five Ranger Districts on the Mantl Division of the Forest and the relocation of three District headquarters. The changes are being made after careful study and analysis of alternatives. Mr. Me Laughlin explained that these consolidations are one measure being taken by the Forest Service to implement the National Economic Policy and to maintain quality management of the environment without increasing funding. Effective Nov. 26, 1972, the five Ranger Districts now headquartered at Mantl, Ephraim, Mt. Pleasant, Ferron and Castle Dale will be consolidated into three Ranger Districts with headquarters at Ferron, Ephraim and Price. Thj District at Ephraim will be known as the Sanpete Ranger District and will include the Forest lands on the west slope of the Mantl range. The Ferron Ranger District j headquartered at Ferron, will contain the National Forest lands in the Muddy, Ferron and Joes Valley drainages. Forest lands in the Huntington Canyon, Price River, and soldier Creek drainages will be administered as the price Ranger District, headquartered at Price, Forest Supervisor McLaughlin empha- - l sized that consolidation of Ranger Districts is in line with Forest service policy to provide quality management for all National Forest lands. Headquarters are located where they will be accessible to the public and where they can provide more service with existing personnel. Emergency Room Workshop set for Tuesday, llov. 20 The Utah state Division of Health, carbon Hospital and the Southeastern Utah Health District are jointly sponsoring an Emergency Room Workshop on Tuesday Nov. 28th, beginning at 9;00 a.m. in Price at the Carbon Hospital in the conference room. The Emergency Room Workshop is free of charge to all persons in the field of Health Administration or connected with hospital health services. I receives major relining work Last week directors of the Clipper and Western Canal undertook a major canal lining project. For several years the ledge area of this major distribution canal has presented maintenance problems for the 57 share holders. Approximately 3500ac-r- es of agricultural land is supplied with irrigation and livestock water through the system. The ledge section is a vital link between this land and the diversion on Cottonwood Creek. Over the years the ledge area has been lined and patched with rubble masonry, concrete and various other materials. In a few places earth has fallen away from the concrete ditch leaving it almost handing in air. seepage water along this section of the ditch has caused the earth banks to cave off. Each year maintenance became more of a problem. Hal Cox, Alvin Johnson and other canal directors decided that something must be done before another irrigation season came. In the past, several solutions had been proposed, but seemed quite costly. Mr. Cox and Mr, Johnson contacted the soil Conservation service (SCS) and requested their help in designing and surveying the project. Plans were drawn by Bill Anderson, SCS Area Engineer, and Reese Jewkes Technician. cost sharing was obtained through the Rural Environmental Assistance Program of theASCS. Matching funds were also obtained from the state ASCS Committee in addition to the regular county all- - ocation funds set up for the project. Hal cox is supervising work at the construction site. 'Castle Valley Construction Co. was contracted to do the excavation work. A D- -8 Cat with rippers started excavation activities. When solid shale material was encountered blasting operations began. Later, share holders will assist with the installation of the 54 inch spiral weld pipe. With the movement of the first dozer blade full of earth came the close of an era of service for this section of ditch. Even though short in distance this 300 foot section of canal is long in history. It is a vital link in delivering water from the Cottonwood creek to cropland west and south of Orangeville. This ditch has stood as a monument to the determination and struggles of the early settlers of Emery County. pioneers first constructed a wooden flume about 100 feet above the creek bottom, hanging it along the ledge. Sylvester H. Cox surveyed the first Great Western canal in the 1870s using a 16 foot 2 by 4 and a spirit level. A drop of 14 inch was allowed every 16 feet. During the late 1800s the canal was relocated to a higher elevation. Then in the late 1920s a series of floods washed out the main diversions and parts of both the Clipper and Western Canals. These and other difficulties brought about the consolidation of both canals into the Clipper and Western canal. 1 Old ditch can be seen corner of picture.
