It cites a 40 billion barrel figure from the area alone, describes the shale’s kerogen content, and outlines distillation methods and economic prospects. TheRoosevelt Standard notes two serious shale beds, low overburden, and long term, steady production potential with strong profits and mineral byproducts.

Utah World War I Bonus Bill Proposed by Weber County Rep
The measure would grant Utah veterans a $20 monthly bonus for each service month from April 1917 to Armistice Day, funded by a state bond issue not exceeding 65 million dollars. A state bonus commission would issue certificates, financed by taxes and bond interest, with a minimum $40 bonus for each eligible veteran. The bill also outlines related provisions for widows and schooling, and mentions Indian education reforms tied to federal supervision.

Uintah schools open to Indians
The Uintah county public schools now enroll Ute and Uncompahgre Indian children from the former Uintah reservation. Fifty nine students attend three schools taught by Florence Potts at Whiterocks, Helen Curtis at Fort Duchesne, and Nellie Hallasy at Randlett under E W Hammond, assistant federal supervisor of Indian schools. Previously Indian children were sent to two government boarding schools at Whiterocks and Randlett, which local officials Kréeale and Hammond say failed their mission by excluding non Indians.
