The report pre-1- 0 or 12 years ago includes every-thing that is needed in the way of soil stabilization and channel stabilization to minimize flood dam age and to increase the amount of usable water. It will reduce the siltation in all reservoirs and thus prolong the life of the reservoir. Plans to work on depleted areas call for gully plugging, planting that wildlife and recreational val-ues will be increased, but these benefits were not evaluated. Contributing to the factual mat-erial presented were the Bureau of Land Management, state and district offices; the soil conserva-tion districts of the state; the Production and Marketing Admin- - ' SEVIER LAKE WATERSHED - UTAH A flood control program for Utah's Sevier Lake watershed area is one step closer to completion, it was announced Saturday by Reed W. Bailey, Director of the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, Forest Service, Ogden, Utah. According to word received recently, the U. S. Con-gress has begun active consider-ation of a report on the watershed. An intensive survey of flood and erosion problems was authorized by Congress several years ago fol- - annual losses from floods are over one million dollars in this water-shed. Estimated cost of the program is $14,850,000. Since the bulk of the work will be on federally land, the major share of the costs will be borne by the federal government. Federal agen-cies, including the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Manage-ment, will cooperate by installing and maintaining measures on land under their administration. The program embraces the whole trees, countour trencnmg and and streambank planting. Many corrective measures also need to be applied on private and state lands. These, the report sug-gests, can best be worked out co-operatively with local people work-throug- h flood control organizations and soil conservation districts. Benefits ftom the program, once it is in effect, are estimated at $1,181,000 annually. Over a period of time benefits will considerably exceed the costs ol installation and maintenance. It is recognized istration; the Utah Extension Ser-vice; Utah Fish and Game Depart-ment and the State Engineer.These agencies, together with the Soil Conservation Service and the For-est Service, will advise and assist land owners in installing and main taming the program on private lands. Mr. Bailey stated that similar reports on the Wasatch, Front area and the Virgin River watershed in southern Utah and part of Arizona are nearing completion. sistance from residents of the Sev-ier watershed area. The report submitted to Con-gress by the Secretary of Agricul- - i ture presents the results of the survey and recommends solutions for flood problems throughout the 17,600 square - mile Sevier Lake drainage basin. Surveys, investiga-tions and preparation of the report were done mainly by technicians of the Flood Control Surveys div-ision of the Intermountain Station in cooperation with personnel of the Soil Conservation Service. Now awaiting congressional ae: tion, the document describes water shed conditions, analyzes flood pro blems past, present, and future, and recommends a thorough-goin- g remedial program of land treat-ment and channel improvements on tributary streams. The program is designed to bring about control of floods, check soil erosion and increase the supply of usable wat-er. It is pointed out that average Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Grant Let's Clean Things Up A Little Moulton is up and about but has lost a lot of interest in tidiness. It seems that Grant was working over at the new Third ward and Stake house when he spied a part of a concrete form that looked out of place and not neat and nice. Wanting everything shipshape and clean Grant took hold of the form and gave a huge tug'. It was at this point that Grant realized what the form had been put there for, because Grant was looking up at the blue sky from the depths of a large hole into which he had fallen when he un-covered it with his mighty pull. It took four men and ia boy to drag him out of his booby trap and at present the large sore spot on his ribs is about cleared up, but Grant is going to let lying dogs lie from here on out. Things have quietened down in the Oak City hills since o,re Leslie Robinette has gone back to deer counting and has quit taking pic-tures oi live mountain lions". Some time ago the Chronicle ran a pic- - ture of the Alldredges, Cliff and Mervin, and some mountain lions they had subdued. The picture was taken by the aforesaid Leslie Ro-binette and thereby hangs a tail. Now this Mr. Robinette does something with deer counting, twig counting and the relationship be-tween bipeds and quadrupeds and their crowding each other. And as he is a shutter bug he wanted to get some action pictures of the as they brought to bay the lions. So he took his paraphen-ali- a and went out with the boys, Mervin and Cliff, and they took out after some lions with their dogs and guns. Getting a lion in a tree was no trick at all for the dogs and conditions were ideal for Mr. Ro-binette to expose a gob of film. The lion was in one tree and so our Mr. Robinette climbed another tree next to the first tree to get some close ups of the lion. It was at this point that the lion decided the view from his perch was not to his liking or else he wanted to mug the lens, so he leaped out of the first tree and joined Mr. Robinette in his tree. It is reported that things were looking right sharp at this junc-ture with Mr. Robinette perched on one limb clutching his camera and the lion perched close by and smiling for the benefit of the bir-die. The lion knew what he was doing and knew the Alldredge boys would not shoot as they might puncture Mr. Robinette. But the Alldredge boys were up to snuff that day and played a William Tell on the lion, only they aimed a little lower than did Mr. Tell and the lion fel from the tree, having entered the happy hunting grounds. It was not until the lion was very dead that Mr. Robinette re-alized he hadn't exposed a single film, and especially the close closer up that he was after. He did a good job with the camera from there on out. Dick Sour Grapes Morrison rib-bed the Boss last week, in his weekly blast at things he doesn't like, about his tractor and Fuzz umn about how he and Chris be-ing mechanics can figure out how to raise bumper crops, and are going to plant oats, wild, crakced or rolled, and package them in the same operation. To this I must add my bit and suggest that Dick apply his mechanical ability to ' making a machine that will har-ness the hot air he puts in his column and he will come out with puffed oats, then he will really have something. It is a simple formula: BS times RSM times WO times WV, .divided says It IS jusi Derause jjii.iv 6u his bluff called once. The feud all dates back to the time Fuzz wheel-ed into the Morrison Motor Co ser-vice station on his "corn popper", as Dick calls it, and Dick, all bus-iness and no playing in the hay, scurried out to do justice to what he figured was "service." Quoth Dick, "Fill it up?" "Sure said Fuzz," wanting to. call him and all service station men for his idle remark, "blow up the tires, clean the windshield, check the pil. and then drool in all the gas it will hold." Our hero of the airways fell to with gusto. The tires were check-ed (all three) the oil was looked at and when Dick couldn't find a windshield on the contraption, he removed Fuzz's glasses and clean-ed obligingly. Then came, the let down. The nozzle was inserted into the gas tank and the pump bel-ched forth, and because the trie-to- r had only been run 38 hours be-tween fillings, it only took iy2 gallons to run it over and onto tjie ground. - . : And thereby came the "mad" that Dick has toward the Boss and his tractor and his farming. He had done all that work for a gross gain o8 6Vi cents, which Dick rapidly computed on his CPTPOPG slide rue (Cost Plus Tax Plus Government, wind zero zero, VH times PH, divided by SOL) which Dick carries in his back pock et hoping to confound some cus-tomer with some day. This irked Dick sorely and he stated firmly, " is this a cash sale or do you want to give three credit references and pay it off ih in-stallments?" To which Fuzz re-plied, "drain it out and have Chris blow his beery breath in the tank and it can run for a week on that alone, possibly I can stop it then." Fisticuffs were averted at this meeting and a compromise settle-ment was made whereby Dick held the radiator cap until Fuzz pays up. Dick goes on to brag in his col- - There is a question to be solved in these parts and the answer comes in two choices: Do they want to become magicians? or are they anxious for the patter of little feet about the house? And at pres-ent the answer to both is "yes." The particular question confronts our local townspeople, Ted and Jonel Nielson. They have been liv-ing in the Marion Henrie home while Marion and Artie bask away in .warmer, climes. .Came ..this past Easter and Ted I Like the Patter of Little Feet About the House and Jonel That Means A Lot, of Trouble Nielson got some rabbits to celebrate that occasion. It was a nice normal Easter and sedately observed by the couple until the rabbits came up missing that night as, Ted w,as about to tuck them into bed There were no rabbits for the sjmple reason that .Marion had neglected tp put,' screens, on the .warm,. and cold air vents on the, furnace piping, and the rabbits had taken, ,qver'. that warren like ducks to , water.-- There was no tucking them into bed that night, nor ,apy:jiight , since, that time. ..When friends calL and are as-tonished by a. rabbit peeking out of a hole in the 'floor Jonel the Calm merely states that Ted is learning to be a magician and is trying to pull rabbits out of his hat ( and privately to herself says, "he ..had .better. .be a magician to get those, blankety blanks out of there before Grandpa and Grand-ma come home.") To which the rabbits are making a. practice of thumbing their little pink noses and every time. Jonel and Ted look that way more rabbits are peeking out of holes, which is the way with rabbits. " ; .'; The only suggestion 1. can give them is to invite a. lot o'C termites in. and have the. termites collapse the house down on the. rabbits, thereby doing away witii' the rab-bits and anyway Marion and Artie can live in a tent. Toots. . .' Kotnms Soon To Eluty In Korea Sic. Howard Edwards and Mrs. Edwards are spending this week in Delta visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Edwards. They leave Monday, and Sfc. Edwards goes to Camp Stoneman and from there to Korea for six months on his second duty there. He return-ed last summer after two years in Korea. Mrs. Edwards will see him off, and then'make a trip to Canada for several weeks. Early in June she plans to come to Delta and stay until his return. The new trailer house bought following their marriage in March is being kenr. at. Delia When Sfc. Edwards was in Korea before a ar old Korean boy was employed in his outfit as KP. Knowing no English, the boy lear-ned the language fast of necessity as all his orders were in English. When Howard was leaving for home the boy promised to write him as soon as he could master the job. The following letter came, in good handwriting, from the boy, whom the men had dubbed "Ears". It is remarkable the boy had so few mistakes, and we wonder how well we would have done in Kor-ean. 25 August 1951 Dear Mr. Edwards How are you. I am very glade to have a friendly letter between you and me. Indeed, I was very lone when you left the 289th M. P. Co. But I couldn't want to keep you with me, because you had a family back in the state. I prayed to God for you as may God bress you with a good forturn. Now, I am sure that you are spending a good time at there. 1st August 1951 I left the 289th M. P. Co. and I found a job at 96th M. P. Bn. I am emloied by this organization as an interpreter since 5th August 1951. Capt. Van Nate, Capt. Leahy and Lt. Potter left the 289th M. P. Co., too. Capt. Leahy is in this organization with me. Indeed, I thanks to those family whom send their father, husband or son for the Korea. And I feel sure that the war will be over very soon, and then all of GI will go back to state for enjoy with their family forever. I will take off 'this pen from this paper despite having so many things to tell you. Hoping to hear from you at an early date. I remain, Your ever affectionate friend, Cho Wan Kook (Ears) Capt. Leahy will send this letter for me. Delta, Utah, Thurs., May 1, 1952 MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Engagement Is Aniiouneed Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
