The particular animal on which the students are working is believed to have been of the diplodocus species, which roamed this region between five and ten million years ago, according to Instructor Vernon MerrilL The teacher and his class are particularly happy over the finding of an exceptionally large and leg bone, which will measure about seven feet and will weigh in COUNCIL COUNTY BOARD.

The bones, which represent the most important geological specimens yet collected by the class, were found in a bed of clay, this formation indicating that the dinosaur met his death by drowning in a lake that dried up centuries ago. We find that the deeper we excavate the better preserved bones we find, said Mr. Merrill, who went on to explain that the work of putting the skeleton together will require considerable time. This project is particularly appropriate here inasmuch as the dinosaur is the mythical guardian of the fortunes of Carbon high athletic teams, and the animal will make an impressive display in this connection.

The Elks Days Of 49 Celebration Because of a reduction in W. P. A. funds this month, project activities in the four counties comprising this district will be considerably curtailed, J. R. Roaf, district senior engineer, said Wednesday. In Carbon county, the W. P. A. will concentrate on three projects, namely, improvement of the fair grounds here, riprapping of Price river at Helper and work on the diversion dam at Spring Glen. However, materials for the fair ground project will be available during the project period starting May 10, and this work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, Mr. Roaf said. Approximately 38 men will be employed, assuring that the project will be advanced considerably during the , forthcoming work period. No effort will be made to secure approval for new projects until the present ones are completed, the engineer explained.
