Most of these calves have been weaned and During the past several years the Ute Cattle Enterprise under the management of Vic Brown, has made a name for Itself and sales of these calves each fall attract buyers from most of the western U.

This Is November, Thanksgiving month. Large metropolitan centers have long since begun their push for all the Christmas business they can get. Some people even have all their Christmas shopping done (and some are still paying for last Christmas). But what about your local merchant. He's damned If he does or he doesn't. If he starts pushing for Chrlstmss sales In November everyone starts hollering that If he waits he u "commercializing. until after Thanksgiving, many people will have already fallen prey to the enticing advertisements from the big cities. So, what are they to do? R stands to reason that everyone don't purchase all their Christmas Items In With the climbing costs of December. everything, the purchases must be spread over at least two months. An unconfirmed survey now Indicates that more than half of the Christmas purchases are made before Thanksgiving, Including layaways and orders. Because of this, your local merchants are pressing now for your business. They would like to have you come In, choose the Items you will need, and put them on lay-a-wa- y. By doing so now, the'stores can maintain a better stock, and If needs be, they can order a particular Item for you. But more Important, you wlil be helping to build your own area, not someone rise's. Think about It, then give your local merchants the support they need to better serve you.

The reservoir Is located one mile west of Fort Duchesne and was created by the construction of Bottle Hollow Dams and Dike. The purpose of the reservoir Is to provide a recreational facility for the Ute Indian Tribe. Palmer B. DeLong, Project Manager, of the Central Utah Projects Office, said Bottle Hollow Reservoir was constructed to help compensate for the loss of some fishing In Rock Creek on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. Fishing loss will occur when part of Rock Creek flows are diverted by Strawberry Aqueduct as part of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. Construction of the Bottle Hollow Dams and Dike was begun In the spring of 1969 by W. W. Clyde Co. of Sprlngvllle under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation at a cost of $674,800.54. Construction was completed after about 15 months of actual work. Bottle Hollow received its unique name from soldiers who deposited their empty whiskey bottles in Bottle Hollow out of The Fort was sight of Fort Duchesne. established by 6 companies of U. S. soldiers In 1875 who were ordered there to maintain law and order. Since the enlisted men were not permitted to bring alcohol on the Fort, many left the base for liquid refreshments and this was a favorite spot to conceal their bottles. The area has been thorougly searched In quest of the antique bottles which have become valuable collectors Items. Bottle Hollow north and south Dams are 57 and 69 feet high and 475 and 590 feet long, respectively. The dike Is 11 feet high and 785 feet long. The outlet works and spillway with capacities of 210 and 30 second-fee- t, respectively, are located In the south dam and have a combined outlet. Bottle Hollow Reservoir has a total capacity of 11,100 acre-fe- et with a surface area of 420 acres when fulL Water to fill the reservoir Is being diverted from Uinta River through the Indian Bench Canal. The new Inlet channel from the canal to the reservoir basin has a capacity of 100 second-fee- t. In operation the reservoir will be maintained at a nearly constant water level. This Is an Ideal situation for maximum recreational development. Extensive recreational facilities are being constructed by the Ute Indian Tribe adjacent to Bottle Hollow Reservoir and U. S. Highway 40. Rex Curry, Administrative Officer of the Ute Indian Tribe stated that the recreational complex Is about 70 percent completed. The facilities Include a motel, restaurant, curio shop, Indian Cultural Park, boat ramp, and camping areas. The reservoir and recreation complex, known by the local Indians as means "Ute Indian Lake." Completion of the complex Is anticipated for late spring of 1971, In time for next year's tourist season.
