VERNAL: Charles Crouse, the well-known rancher of Browns park, came over to Vernal from that section of the State yesterday. He states that there is not a particle of feed on the winter range and very little hay in that section, and there is almost sure to be heavy losses in stock before grass comes again.

Olson, vice president; L. B. Stewart, treasurer, and Paul Miner, secretary. The other members of the board are G. W. Walkup and Marion Campbell. Because of the fact that 30 percent of the taxes in the county are unpaid, the problem of financing the schools to the end of the year was found a serious one. The probability of a consolidation of the schools during the last eight months of the school term was discussed. The finance committee was instructed to endeavor to collect certain taxes from the Uinta county treasurer, which should have been paid to Dagggett county by the taxpayers.

JULY 24TH CELEBRATION Green River Star Friday July 29, 1921
From the length and breadth of Daggett County, Utah, came the sturdy pioneers to Manila, the county seat, with their families to do honor to their forefathers who had so courageously braved hardship and terror to pave the way and make possible the civilization and cultivation of the great West.
In all manner of conveyances, from the lumber wagon to the automobile, they came prepared to celebrate the dayand celebrate they did in every sense of the word.
The morning was devoted to prayer, song, speaking and music, and every number was accorded hearty applause, after which an hour or more was devoted to the refreshment of the inner man, ample provision having been made to satisfy the craving of all while the draft and saddle horses were also carefully looked after.
The early afternoon was devoted to childrens and adults sports, and many good races were the result. A ball game, between Terrytown and Manila, next attracted attention. The game proved exciting and was indeed a well played game. After six innings the game ended to make room for the bronco busters, with the score 8 to 7, in favor of Manila.
The bucking contest was greatly enjoyed by all present, about eight horses being used, and at the termination Fred Stoll was declared the winner. Horse racing on the new State Highway closed the days sports, several close races resulting, in which honors went principally to horses owned and ridden by several members of the Stoll family.
During the evening Terpsichore reigned supreme and old and young tripped the light fantastic toe to the splendid music of the Green River orchestra, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Viox and B. Chapman, and all present agreed that the dance music rendered was the best ever heard in the hall.
The festivities were enjoyed by an unusual number of visitors from Ogden, Salt Lake and other places, Green River alone being represented by upward of forty pleasure seekers. All in all it was a joyous occasion and one long to be remembered.
Daggett Cession To Wyoming Advised State Auditor to Recommend Utah Give Up Inaccessible CountyDaggett county people have come to the; conclusion that a county form of government is not only expensive, but that it is a luxury which they can do without. I shall recommend to, the legislature the cession of the strip of ground comprising Daggett county to Wyoming, to become a part of Sweetwater county in that state said Mark Tuttle, state auditor, who today returned from a visit to that section of the state. ''The county has an assessed "valuation, continued Mr. Tuttle" of only $508,322, and from this the state levy of 2.2 mills, after deducting: 28 per cent of the levy for the Utah Agricultural college, leaves but $804 for general fund purposes for the stale. The county really should never have been created "In order to reach this county and its county seat, Manilla, the court officials have to make a long and expensive trip through a part of Wyoming. It is true that prior to its creation as a county its people were inaccessible from the southern portion of Uinta county, of which it was a part, for most of the. year, owing to the high mountain range which separated the two sections, but It should be a part of Wyoming, as practically all Its business is transacted with that state. It can increase in population but little, and I believe that the people would be better accommodated, as many of the representative men of the county have told me. if it were to become a part of the state of Wyoming, and I shall so recommend to the fifteenth legislature".
