“Beginning next week the three papers of the Reservation, the Uinta Standard, the Uintah Chieftain, and the Duchesne Record, will consolidate under the name of the Uinta Record, which will be published at Myton. The present editor of the Duchesne Record will serve in the same capacity under the consolidation. The amalgamation is brought about for the reason that the owners of the respective publications consider that it is more desirable to have one good paper to represent the Reservation than to have the field so much divided that neither can afford, from a business standpoint, to get out the kind of paper the Uinta basin is entitled to. Beginning at once the Record will publish a four page home print publication. [As an after consideration since the above was put in type, and in honor of the mighty stream, which, together with its many tributaries, furnishes the water for the irrigation of this section, it has been decided to retain the name “The Duchesne Record.”]
