Show CRITICISES THE ATTITUDE OF DUCHESNE She is Anta Antagonizing that Which is Beat st For All the People Likens Her to Germ Germany Ger- Ger m many y- y R. R S. S Collett In Roosevelt Standard The state has promised to send the convict road camp into the basin to work on the roads The governor has been asked to place this work on the old Price road the only practicable practicable prat winter hinter road to the railroad H has promised to do this in order to stimulate the production of food crops that can be shipped out of the basin But our friends at Duchesne not nol content that every appropriation that has been heen made since the creation of or orthe the county has been placed upon the Helper road insists that this road roadwork roadwork work o of the convicts must go on that road also and that if it It is not placed there then It had not best be brought into the county The They have even evenI I taken a majority of the county commissioners commissioners commissioners com com- missioners into their camp and presented presented pre pre- I to them and had them pass passI the following remarkable resolution I I Therefore be it res resolved ved by byI bythe bythe the board of county commission- commission I rs of at Duchesne county that we declare ourselves strongly in JD favor of the Duchesne to Helper Helper Helper Hel Hel- per route and that we will ill give this route all of the financial assistance assistance assistance as as- possible under our condition condition con con- dWon but that owing to the necessity of first building a II road rood that will accommodate all of the people we do not feel justified In spending spending any any money moner on the Price to Myron Myton road until the Duchesne to Helper and Strawberry Strawberry Straw Straw- berry valley roads are Improved The Eastern end of ot the county has been pretty patient and yielding to the e people of the county seat and while we have always felt the Price road should be Improved we have not insisted on this because se we the work to be done dona was more than the county count could afford as the ex ox- expense expense pense hetiso must reach a certain sum orthe orUIe or orthe the UIe road work will not be permanent But when the state expressed a willingness will will- willingness to take 1101 hold of it and we had spent all we had been able to appropriate te on the Helper road up to the e present time and because we Im know w the Helper road to be now In good serviceable condition when tho the mud and snow was off we must confess confess con con- fess tess that the attitude of the Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- Du- Du chesne people surprised us very much indeed 1 Then to add to their contention the extreme measures to which they tho extreme atti atU are resorting and tude they thet take that no work whoever wha- wha ever should be done on the Price road seems to us in its self la is enough to defeat them In securing the work on the Helper road The excuse and argument they give gird for this extreme position is that If el the Price road is improved Duchesne will lose the mail can contract tract and nd that y this contract means the very existence existence exist exist- ence of f the town Now Now we must confess that we had not thought of this phase of or the situation and we wedo wedo wedo do not wish Duchesne any harm the t can be avoided In Justice to the balance balance balance bal- bal ance of the county But is not lh this admission on their part that the the mail man service would d be put over the Price route an admission that with an equal expenditure of money this road would be a more serviceable road than the road to Helper Then again If it Duchesne is living under this artificial condition IB Is it just to ask the balance of the county to continue this condition even at the tha expense and disadvantage antage of the rest of ot us The Whitmore park elevation ismore is ismore ismore more than 2000 feet lower than the Willow creek divide Is It not reasonable reasonable reas reas- to think the snow would b bless bo be beless less on the former than the latter The Eastern end of or Duchesne and the Western end o of Uintah counties are going to raise an immense crop of beans potatoes onions wheat an and the like products that under present prices which the continuation of the war is going to maintain and these products can be shipped to the railroad railroad railroad rail rail- road at a profit In ord order r then for Duchesne to maintain a mail route must we ship these products through the snow to Helper Is that attitude attitude atti atU tude right or just Unless ss you snow- snow shed the Helper road from the Ross Rose Rosto Roseto to the Grant stations there can be no winter freighting over it and the peo pee pie will patronize the good old Price Pric road just as they have always done Now Now we are not standing for this road In favor favor of My Myton ton as s against Duchesne ne We are stand standing ng for this road oad because it will benefit every town own in the basin and every producer er r in the basin and the greatest good rood to the greatest number must mut continue to be our motto We are not disturbed because of ot othe he the fight and agitation the Duchesne Ducheane people are stirring up We are so soure sure ure of ot the Judgment of the governor and nd his advisors In tills this matter and in their heir promise to benefit that road which will help move the crops this fall all and winter and all the falls and nd winters to come until we get a railroad that we are perfectly confident confident dent ent when the state convicts are put basin they will on n the roads or the put ut the Prica Price Pico road In such shape that the tho he benefit to the basin will be In In in- estimable It appears to us that Duchesne Is Continued on ou Page Eight o 0 I COLLETT TT C CRITICISES Continued from front Page One antagonizing that which is for Cor the best of all the people and that In doIng doIng doing do- do Ing so she is so aggressive and extreme ex ex- ex that she will permit few if any to remain passive In III the matter and like Uke Germany before she gets through she will array every town Iu lu luthe the basin against her a thing we regret regret re re- gret for it will do Duchesne very great injury Better be he a little fair Calr and
