automobiles have made therun t the therun run 78 miles in seven hours One Iman man made the run in six hours The road is lined from one end to the theother theother other with freight teams Hundreds of tons are coming and going every week Travelers who are perfectly familiar fa familiar familiar fa- fa i I with all routes leading into the Uintah basin do not hesitate to say that the Price Price-Myton ton route is the I most feasible The highest altitude I which Is on what is known as the Park is feet The Colton summit summit summit sum sum- mit altitude is feet or 2000 feet higher than Soldier the Park summit A difference of 2000 feet Is is a big difference e. e Today the Park ParkIs Is dry Colton summit Is covered with mud slush and snow There will nill n not be an automobile over that road for two months A postoffice inspector by the name of Christensen Christen Christen- sen is reported to have made this statement with reference to a rumor in circulation that the mail mall route might be changed from Helper to Price There Is nothing to this rumor The matter luis not even eten been officially official- official 1 I ly considered by the department Even en should the request be bo made mode there Is absolutely no reason to suppose suppose sup sup- pose loe that it would be given the slightest slight slight- est consideration The present route under raider pr present ent conditions is the most satisfactory one leading Into tho the basin ba ba- tom sin from the railroad Duchesne where approximately approximate half of ot the mull mail mailand and parcel post Is handled bandied is IR only 40 49 miles mile from the Ule railroad whereas h bj hy the Price Irice route it would woold be miles and the latter route would give ghe e the other of offices Ices fK served ed edno no advantage in point of time Such Sucha a radical change Is entirely out of the question 1 Fortunately for tor for some som of f us 18 Mr Ur Christensen is not the whole show shrew There are lire others higher up up It Is reasonable to suppose that he he would make such Buch statements when Duchesne I and land west of that is about all he saw saw on this last trip If he is anxious I to servo serve all the people and n not t part of ot the people ha will try and see more 0 eople and more country The talk I that the tho present route under present present present pres pres- ent conditions is most satisfactory is the worst kind of ot rot The DuI Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- I chesne Stage Transportation people peo pee plo pie are aro to be commended for trying to do everything that could be done to bring the mail mati in on time They expended hundreds of ot dollars per day but it was no use There are some things that humans can not do One of those things Is la to keep the Helper road open during such a winter winter win win- ter as tho the last one If the stage company company company com com- pany had been fined for every time the tile mail mall was late during the winter there would not be nearly so BO much I money in the tre treasury sury as there Isnow is now Parcel post has been delayed anywhere from one day to one month I We Ye are not blaming the company so so much for being late as we are blaming the company and others for kidding themselves into the belief that they have the only route into this basin basing And they have talked It so much much uch that they really do seem to believe it Christensen's statement will not go for very much when the proper authorities once make a comparison comparison comp com com- p parison of the two routes This co com comparison com com- Il- Il parison ha has never really been made I The writer writes of this Item went over the Colton olton route In the spring of 1914 In company with one of the
