No wagon road, up to that date, had been made into this beautiful valley of Cache. Consequently the teams were pulling them along the hillsides and across the gulches, required the constant efforts of all the "loose men" with the company. Fortunately no serious accidents befell the outfit. Once over the ridge and down the canyon with the larger part of the beautiful valley in sight, it fairly filled the members of the company with a feeling of reverence that is easier felt than described. Hats were lifted involuntarily from the heads of their owners and the words ('scaped from several lips: What a beautiful sight; at lichulding the broad expanse of land between the grand mountains east and west, and to feel the inspiration arising therefrom. The winding course of Bear, Logan and Blacksmith's Fork rivers, and the smaller streams flowing by willows, cottonwood trees, etc., and the land. Well, it seemed to lie without limit ; and water so abundant that a new world was opened up for settlement as it lay stretched out on the north, east, and southeast. The danger of wagons having a came to an end when the company came to the bench lands, and by sunset the "creek" had been reached, camp formed, supper prepared. and eaten, and the necessary guards arranged for the night, for we were now in an Indian Country; for although this valley was not considered hostile, the occasional loss of a horse, and the fact that when a beef was killed at our camp the Indians were always in evidence, made vigilance netip-ov- 15 Oct-oli- er to Michelle and Rory . y The Smithfield Scripture Club met at the home of Darlene and Leo Tore Saturday evening with Mr. Low 1 On the river bottoms, where a short time previous good grass suitable for hay had been selected for cutting. it was so far consumed in a few days that there was nothing left but stalks, hardly fit for feeding purposes. Willows were left denuded of leaves, and the tender twigs were consumed or dropped to the ground. Cottonwood trees shared the same fate, and but a few days passed when vegetation seemed a thing of the past, and the face of the country changed from the beautiful, smiling landscape that first presented itself, to one of desolation.

The hoppers would take flight about 10 a.m., after their limbs would get limbered up by the rays of the sun. after the night's frost had cleared away, that crowd would pass on to the southwest, sometimes obscuring the rays of the sun at high noon, and followed up in the afternoon by another lot equally numerous and anxious to obtain a repast on what their predecessors had not devoured. The fight continued for some time between the hoppers and the sons of toil, who did their best to wield (lie scythe on some spot the least injured by the pests, and many a hopper was covered up in the stack because they could not be got rid of. However, enough hay was secured to make some good stacks for winter use. After many days the pests ceased their flight and, strange to say, Saturday, as regular as the day came, for nearly two months, a heavy cloud would come up the Bear River narrows, divide at the junction of Bear and Logan rivers and follow up the two streams and pour out refreshing rains over the valley, washing away the poison left on the remnant of vegetation left us and our animals, and assisting nature to recuperate from the dreadful scourge inflicted upon every green thing. Was not this the .hand of a merciful God caring for His creatures? This was the commencement of the settlement of one of the finest valleys of the commonwealth of Utah. MIN WOMt N Volunteers.

Next morning scouts on horseback were sent to look up the most desirable place for a winter location, having in mind suitable dry places for stacking hay for such caltle and horses as were expected to be wintered in this valley.

Having safely forded the creek, and the scouts having returned and reported their findings, (he teams moved forward in a direction to a spring, where camp was located, and by night several wagons were unloaded, tents stretched and things ally prepared, for a stay on what was afterwards' kilown as the "Church Farm.
