"Could we have possibly run outta gas," gulp, I thought. Yep, we did. "Let's leave the truck in middle of the road and then someone have to give us gas to get by," said. Nope, it was agreed to push it to the side and start hiking. The sun was sinking below the mountains. It was only about 25 miles out over the top but little did we know a snow drift blocked the road. One truck came by and the driver couldn't give us gas because he had no way of getting it out of the tank. Then another rig came through and we asked for some help. The driver said he was sorry but his vehicle ran on propane. Can ya believe that! Then a fish and game guy came along and he siphoned fuel from his truck. We had to put it in a three-pouncoffee can, and then pour it into our truck. We put in about seven cans full, about 21 pounds, figured. will The likely question after the annual fishing trip is, "How'd ya N-- J do?" Well, for runnin outta gas at the head of the Greys river, 65 miles from the nearest gas station and about 85 miles from the lodge we were staying at, we made out okay. You may that?" ask, "How'd ya do Well, it didn't take any planning, any fools with adventurous spirits and no time to stop at a gas station for fear they will miss some good fishing, can do it slicker than a whistle. My partner and his son and this writer started out that fateful morning from our lodge in Star Valley nestle among the pines. With the spirit of Jim Bridger and Jedidiah Smith, we got down to Alpine to start the Greys river loop. "Should we stop for gas here? Naw, we're only goin up the trail a ways, we have plenty," (the gas gauge didn't work). The local trail blazers made their way up and down roads exploring new lands without a worry in the world. We fished here, we fished there, we fished everywhere. Soon we reached the point of no return. Being the explorers we are, we figured it was shorter to go all the way around the loop than it would be to go back. Since we were probably runnin low on fuel it would be safer. Up the Greys river road we went. Not a worry in the world. We fished here, we fished there, we fished everywhere, but we didn't catch anything. It musta been the moon or something. This is what kept us going, the driving force of a fishing paradise. finding ' Suddenly we rounded a bend and there it was! The head of the Greys. The hardy crew jumped from the truck and started taking pictures by the sign which says," The Greys River, Watch Me Grow." The truck was left idling and while the cameras clicked, we heard a sput, sput, cough, kaplunck. I d I sure did get out of that predicament pretty easy. We The truck rolled into Alpine on a hope and a prayer, and the only bad thing about the experience was that we missed the steak dinner back at the lodge and had to eat hm cording to District Fire Warden Tommy Hawes. Burned were 25 acres of wheat and 200 acres of brush and grass land. The property is owned by Dennis Petersen of Tremonton. Haws said the blaze started adjacent to Interstate-80and may have been started by a cigarette thrown from a passing vehicle. It was the biggest range fire of the current season, the warden noted. Helped Stop Fire Two pumpers from Garland with eight men, a pumper from Howell with seven history. We were probably the only ones in anals of time to run out of gas at the head of the Greys. However experience didn't slow up this crew. The exploring spirit once again prevailed and the next morning we were up and ready to go. We left the lodge again for another fishing hole and guess what ... ran outta gas about three miles down the road. not have been hot enough to lately try an esji; on the sidewalk, but a lot of local residents are probably realizing what a blessing air condition- ing is! may Here arc the scorching statistics compiled by local weather observer Charles Clifford. low 68 68 61 high 96 June 6 93 June 7 June 8 93 June 9 9- June 10 97 June 11 95 June 12 The barometer reading 9-- i 58 62 60 59 is high, no chance of rain. Reports Saddle Theft Sherman D. Earl, Fielding, complained to Box Elder county sheriffs deputies Wednesday morning that someone stole his saddle, which would cost 350 to replace, from an old shed on the east side of a of the Bear River about mile north of the Bigler Bridge during the past week. three-quarte- This letter is directed to all parents who have boys playing baseball this summer, whether in Pony league, major league or minor league. First, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to those wonderful managers, coaches and umpires who spend their time and talents without pay to help our children. They teach our boys baseball and they teach them good sportsmanship. Recently at a game, I have never seen such a display of poor sportsmanship from parents in my life. I was embarrassed, to say the least, in front of our children, whom we want to be good sports. Sure we all want to be on the winning side, but some one has to be on the losing side, too. And we as parents should set an example to our boys. If we, as parents, cannot control ourselves then we should not go to the games. After all, we send our boys there to learn baseball and this sportsmanship is a very big part of baseball or any other sport. I have heard parents ridicule and swear at the umpires til it was disgusting. So please, parents, lets all be good sports. Lets keep in mind those managers and coaches and umpires are there to help our boys. Lets all go down and cheer for them in a nice way. And show our boys we can be good sports, too. Service Centennial celebration is going well, stated William T. Krueger, superintendent of Golden Spike National Historic site this week.

They came from all 50 states, d men and another pumper operated by Haws plus five men from the Tremonton Fire department helped to stop the fire. Also helping out was a county road patrol and bulldozer and another dozen volunteers. The blaze which broke out about 6 p.m. was brought under control by 10 p.m., Hawes said. It was finally extinguished Wednesday morning. Hawes expressed appreciation to all who assisted in battling the blaze, particularly the county road equipment. He cautioned drivers during this high fire danger period to not throw lighted cigarettes but to crush them out in the vehicle. (Continued From Page One) independent," the aged spokesman explained.
