These include many items owned by the builders themselves,, such as glasses that were owned by Nickolas Paul, the head mason. A Book of Mormon, an early edition, and many such relies are on display. A doll collection is in one room, with native dolls coming from may countries of the world. The last room is reserved for Indian relics and also holds a fabulous gun collection. In this room are a Navajo rug that is over 100 years old, Indian water jugs and baskets. The rooms open onto a court, where the 20 Mule Borax Wagon sets in an almost perfect state of preservation. In the court also are Indian grinding stones, and the early cistern used to bring the first water into the well. The entrance itself is most unusual. for it contains a Keystone Arch, one of the few in this country. Also hanging over the entrance Is the old Johnson Army dinner bell. Most of the original flag pole was saved, and a flag now flies dally therefrom. Guided tours are conducted every day. A picnic area and playground are nearing completion-Al- l members of the Kesler family should be congratulated for preserving, and now restoring this priceless piece of pioneer heritage. The Old Fort will do much to encourage tourists to linger a bit longer In our county. When you are riding around on a Sunday or your day off, become "tourists" for a while and drop down and see Brigham Young's Historic Cove Fort. It will surprise you as you wander .from room to room, feeling the Old West around you once again.

Buildings will contain 900 square feet of floor space. trans-continent- al About two months time will be required to construct the buildings after which large towers will be erected, requiring about a month. On these towers will be four TV type antennas, two of which will be receiving and two transmitting When the signal is received at the various stations it will be amplified a million fold before being sent on. After buildings and towers are a specially trained electronics crew will install the equipment required for the relay. Howard Blood, public information official for the large phone companies constructing these facilities, gave The Progress this information, during a telephone conversation a few days ago. Each of these stations transmit completed, In line of site: hence each tower must be visible to each other. Height will vary from 50 to 150 feet, and each TV horn will weigh roughly 1500 pounds or three ton total to the steel tower.

The largest span of line runs from Meadow to the Cricket station. Jelco has been using Meadow as base of opera tions for that end of the line. Hengar employees have taken about every available rental on this side of the county during this construction period. |
