Superintendent Tervort and Dr. Gitlitz are now instructing a class in safety and first aid for the foremen of the camp. Mr. Tervort is instructing them in safety methods while Dr. Gitlitz is teaching teach-ing them the essientials of first aid. The new program outlined for the Division of Grazing calls for an additional nunaber of trucks for each of the camps doing range revegetation work. This camp has already received three new stake-bodied stake-bodied trucks and will receive another of the same type and two more pick-up trucks before ;the summer is over. The crew of men working under John C. Benson are now constructing construct-ing the walls of the spillway of the Burns Knoll reservoir. . : Construction of the South Horse Hollow reservoir, under superJ vision of Foreman AL Barton, will be completed by the end of this week. This project has been under construction for a number of months and its completion will be a big help to the surrounding range land. On a recent survey of the reservoirs reser-voirs built by men of this camp, Mr. Tervort reports that Antelope Wash, Black Willow and Lake View reservoirs have accumulated enough water during recent rains to last for one year and that more water is expected to be filling them during the fall rains. ' ' Emory T. (Pete) Snyder's crew of men are now working on. a .project .pro-ject that was postponed last year. It is the Big Maple-Chalk Hollow road. They are now clearing brush and debris so that tractors and graders may operate on the base of the road. This road runs through the Parowan canyon and comes out near Greenville. The purpose of the road is to make some valuable range land in that sector available as well as to permit the use of truck and other equipment 'to go into that area to build some reservoirs. reser-voirs. Plans are now being made for the sowing of 10,000 acres of 's.eed where the natural vegetation has disappeared. The seed will consist con-sist of crested wheat grass, rice grass and some rye. This all serves to make the range land in this section more valuable. |
