Willows must have been plentiful along its banks also. and yokes for oxen. These, together with the bones of cattle, gave mute evidence that a company had camped on Summit Creek some years before. Healthy sagebrush must have given promise of land that would grow good crops. They found the land which had already been cultivated, but a wide tract to the west was still unbroken. The site looked inviting to these three men who began getting out logs to build houses and cutting hay for winter. After getting a house completed, we are told, they returned to Salt Lake City for their families. When they arrived back, other families had arrived. All this took place during the summer of 1859. After the harvesting had been completed, not much evidence was left that a settlement had been planned in this area. It was October 10 when Seth Langton, Robert and John Thornley arrived on Summit Greek. They had left their homes in Salt Lake City for the purpose of finding a (dace for a home and farm. They located about half a mile west of the present site of Smithfield. This was the beginning of the permanent settlement from which our community grew.

And because the price of natural gas, like everything else, has gone up, its possible to save more money this year and in years to come than you've ever saved before. Lets take a look at two of the use ways you natural gas and see how easy saving money can be. A standard sized bathtub filled three-quarte- rs full of hot water uses 53 cubic feet of natural gas to heat that water from 40 to 105, at a cost to you of $.00089 per cubic foot. or 4.7 cents. If you only filled the tub half full of hot water or took a 7'i minute shower, your hot water heater would use 33 less natural gas and save you 1.6 cents. That may not sound like much, but if you bathe every day it means a savings of $5.84 per year. During a normal six month winter, an average six room house, properly insulated, uses 750 cubic feet of natural gas a day to maintain an internal temperature of 75 degrees. Turning the thermostat down 5 degrees to 70 would save 79 cubic feet of natural gas a day which, over six months would save fourteen dollars. The above examples are only two of the many ways you can save on the use of natural gas in your home. There are more than two dozen more in the areas of heating, air conditioning, hot water heating, cooking, and clothes drying. Think about your daily uses of natural gas and ask yourself if youre being as frugal with this source of energy as you are with your money. Because in the face of higher energy costs, natural gas is con-tinual- money, which is why conservation pays. MOUNTAIN FUEL Utah 84335 Subscription Rates; Mountain Fuel.
