Show "News Bits About Yesler-Yearg" 5 Years Ago The Ute Tribal No. 1 was cataloged this week by Carter Oil as the key to a new oil field in Utah. Announcement that the well, eight miles northeast north-east of Roosevelt, meant a new field was made by R. D. Sloane, division exploration manager for Carter Oil Company. Excerpt to "Dear Bill" from "Unc:" Good things seem to happen all at once around these parts. First we had the spring rains that turned the Basin to a green carpet, and brought hope to the farmers. Next Carter Oil discovers dis-covers the only parafin base oil in the west at the Ute Tribal No. 1, bringing smiles to the faces of the speculators, and hope to the folks who have grubbed a. livelihood out of the Uintah Basin earth all these years., Then along comes the Uintah County Union High bond election, elec-tion, with its favorable results paving the way for the building of the new school. This last happening tipped the pessimists end over end. Rail, oil and new schools all combine to make a darned prosperous pros-perous country, and now it looks like we've got all of 'em. Mac R.
