Show BE1I0N BOOSTS PRICE ROAD Knows Superiority Tirst Hand Trom Recent Trip. Harden Hennion, secretary of state nnd n member of the stnte rond commission, com-mission, wifs in Price Inst Kndnj en route to the stnte cntutnl from n'tnp to Vcmnl. His mission out Hint wnv wns to look after some private btisf-no btisf-no In his homo county nnd to nt the snme time Inquire into the matter of hlghwnja entering tho Itasm. He is convinced, ho snjs, Hint while tho Helper to Duchesne route is the better bet-ter road nnd is much preferred b nutomohilists nnd those doing freighting freight-ing Inline into the Ilnsin, when it is in service, the fnct remains that traffic traf-fic over it is subject lo interruption, nnd for Hint reason the Price to Mj-ton Mj-ton route should also ha maintained nnd kept up to stnndnrd. Secretary Hennion hnd exacted to go into the Ilnsin by the Helper to Duchesne road, but ho found that be could not do so without transferring nt the summit nnd going nbout five or six miles b.V team. He believes Hint it is not advisable to spend much money another season in attempting to keep the Helper to Duchesne route oteu. That was attempted during the winter win-ter just ended, but finall.v had to be nlmndoneil, ho said. "Traffin into I'itittsli I Usui right now," observed lleiinion, "is praeti-1 rally all over the Price to M.vlon road. The road is dry all the wa.v and in Carbon county is in mrlicularl,v good condition. In Duchesne eount.v it is rough, no work having been done there this .veer. The route has carried car-ried Iho m reels tst nml mail for the test six or eight weeks. In my opin-l lou, no matter how much effort is made to keep the Helper to Duchesne! rtHtd clear from snow, there will be periods when it is iinNtahle. Win-lent Win-lent will occur when the snowfall la sufficiently light to keep tralfie open nil season with the exixmillture of some money, hut during other winter it is practically futile to attempt such work. "It is expected that nulomobilea will be going over the summit on the Helper to Duuclipsno road n n few days now, although (t will M soitiu time before the heav.v track service of the government can be transferred that way. There is nu immense nmount of traffic to and from the liHoin at present. Merchandise is going go-ing b iwreels tost. WiHtl, hides and (wits are being exKirted. Coming out we wsch! h caravan of fifteen wagons wag-ons mailed with hides. Umm of cattle and sheep has Wn severe, ami it has been greater during April than it was for nil the rest of the winter. There Is nn outlook for it plentiful supply j of irrigation water, and the spirit throughout the Ihtstu is growing more hopeful." ileuniou says that uuusally high water is expected in some of the nv-era nv-era of the ltniu on account of the large amount of snow still in the lulls, and the fact that belated warm w wither with-er is likely to set in and melt the snow ery rapidly. Vernal was imrtleularly nliv'u lo the situation, nnd had named Wednesday of last week as Ashley Creek Day, when ever.voue was expected ex-pected to turn out and do his part to clear the merited of possible nlist ructions. |
