Ferron has not grown very much of late years, but affords many good homes for the present inhabitants. Wilford C. Peterson presides over this ward as bishop. Northeast of Ferron, about four miles, is the new settlement of Claw-sofamcontaining about twenty-fiv- e ilies. The settlement occupies a pleas ant little nook in the more extensive valley and is surrounded by some good farming land. This settlement dates back to 1902, and J. Orson Barney is the present bishop. The settlement of Molen, about four miles east of Ferron, on Ferron creek. is an outgrowth of Ferron and was once a thriving town, but some of the most fertile fields have been destroyed and thus the ward has .dwindled down and thus the ward had dwindled down to a mere branch of the Ferron ward. Fifteen miles southwest of Ferron lies the southernmost settlement in the Emery stake called (like the stake) Emery. This little town can boast of a fine and Oommodious meetinghouse and Bishop Alonzo Brinkerhoff, with in n, his two counselors, who have served together as a biehopric for twenty-fiv- e years, believe that they represent the oldest bishopric In the church; that is to say that these three men have acted longer as a bishopric without any change than any other bishopric in the church since the church was organized. The only competitor for that honor, so far as I know, is the bishopric of Kays-villDavis county, Utah, where Bishop Peter Barton, acted from 1877 to 1903 with William H. Blood and Thomas F. Rouche as counselors. Counselor Rouche died in 1903 and Bishop Barton and the other counselor (Brother Blood) acted together four years more until 1907, when the bishopric of the ward was entirely changed If Brother Brinkerhoff and his counselors continue much longer in their pre sent capacity, they will certainly gain the distinction which they already , oc-cur- I v ' . e, Hae"Vou Been a Good claim.

About seven miles northeast of Castle Dale. lies the little town of Lawrence, which for several years promised to be one of the best settlements in Emery county, but of late years it has dwindled down considerably, so that instead of a ward, the saints there now constitute a branch of the church. The largest settlement in Emery stake is Huntington, situated on Huntington creek, eleven miles north of Castle Dale. Here Ileber Leona(l presides as bishop. Tbe to'wn possesses a commodious meetinghouse, a modern schooihouse, and a number of stores and shops which give its main street quite a cosmopolitan appearance. Six miles northeast of Huntington is Cleveland, which settlement is an out- growth of Huntington and was organized as a ward in 1890. Joseph L. Lar; son presides here as bishop. North of Cleveland, about - four miles, is the prosperous settlement of 31mo, where George H.
