Show MRS. MERRILL MILLER The last ilen days have really been rough on the sheep and cattle. cat-tle. Word had to be sent to the Barton Bros, of Manti, that -their sheep were snowed in and were in need oJ help. Needless to say, Geo. Barton was on his way in a few hours. Naturally he took the shortest short-est road from Cove Fort to Black Ruck, 23 miles straight west from U. S. 91. Was that a mistake. This road has never seen a piece of road equipment this winter. George Barton spent some very unpleasant unpleas-ant hours over that road. On his return trip he went by way of Mil-ford, Mil-ford, Beaver and then Cove Fort, a distance of some 120 miles far-trie.-. Lester Hansen of Manti received word that his men were in need of help. He also was forced to take the long route to Black Rock, via Beaver and Milford. Both of these men, who also pay considerable taxes, a part of which is supposed to be used for road maintenance, make this remark in general: If the gravel that has been so carefully scraped off the roads onto the shoulders were put back on the road thus making it higher rather than low, as it now is of the surrounding country, then we would not be stuck in every low spot In the road. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Burke attended at-tended a dinner meeting of the Richfield Knife and Fork Club.They report a delightful evening. Taft Paxton and Josh Turner, both of Kanosh, Utah were visitors at the Black Rock Ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fleming spent the week end in Milford on business. The old Beaver River once again has water in it. With the true spring run-off yet to come, the river channel already has water in it as far north as Black Rock. It is something to see the amount of water that has been ponded around the Beaver-Millard county line. It makes ia good sized lake in the middle of the desert. When the runroff starts it is a good chance that most of this county will be under water as the channel' chan-nel' has so filled with silt and sand that the water has difficulty in moving north. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Burke and Walter Wal-ter Miller attended the Methodist Community Church of Milford Sunday Sun-day evening. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Miller, Mrs. Hampton Burke and Walter Miller attended the Republican County Convention in Fillmore. |
