Much of the site is now prepared for the gondola equipment. Concrete pour- ing at the 25 tower sites will be accomplished mostly by helicopter. The main topic of dis- cussion at the Joseph cham- ber meeting was the possi- bility of re-doing the face of the main street. The possibil- ity of each store owner put- ting a new front on his store to make it resemble a town of the late 1800’s met with some enthusiasm. A wheat truck and trailer loaded with wheat from the Cecil Botts ranch at Bart- lett was hauling to Anatone when it went over the grade at the fi rst switchback going toward Troy. The driver had no apparent injuries.
