While the young people were having their Mrs. Adeline Johnson was entertaining the mothers who furnished the transportation and others of her friends at a quilting at her home in Moccasin.

Mace Kanab, a little town on the a border, had attained a population of 900 persons by the year 1914. It had been growing slowly since 1863, when a few settlers built a rude house a sort of fort of cedar posts, as a protection from Inwillow-line- d dians, by a stream which ran south from the canyon to the present townsite. Kanab, 125 miles from a railroad, is situated right in the d liveheart of the best stock winter range west of the Mississippi river. Its red, sandy soil was so fertile that the bee weed (coloma), a plant, grew like small trees on every street, sidewalk, and untilled spot of ground. The boughs of this plant were so heavily laden with yellow and lavender flowers that a tall adult person, when walking through the streets, could not be distinguished at a distance of'more than a few rods. Small children sometimes were lost in the dense growths. Often, wild cattle wandered in from the hills and ran through the streets. As stock growing on the nearby ranges was the chief occupation of the people, from the revenue thus derived, Kanab was said to be the richest town, per capita, in the state. It was called Kanab by the natives, that being an Indian word meaning willow. Like most small towns of the West at that date, little money was spent on public buildings other that the schoolhouse. The daily mail arrived each evening in a buckboard drawn by mule or horse team. Most of the year, sand was hub deep on the last 15 miles of road leading into the village. Often during the winter season newspapers and magazines did not reach here for a week- or perhaps ten days After they were printed, due to poor roads and deep snowfall on the rocky mountain divide on the north and the great gorge of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado on the south, which separated Kanab from larger centers of population. Into this quaint little cowboy town, in the fall of 1914, came Mary E. Downey, nationally known educator, for the purpose of interesting the people in establishing a public library. At the meeting, which was held in the Town hall, the attendance was not large. Miss Downey spoke at length on the advantages of public libraries. She skid no town should feel Itself too poor to establish an institution of this kind. Most libraries, she said, begin very simply, and it should not be difficult to find a room with a table and a few chairs as, a beginning for a reading room with newspapers and periodicals. This, she said, would get the people interested to a central place for reading and study. The nucleus of the library could be secured, she thought, by a book drive, with almost everyone contributing some volume that a book lover had enjoyed and would be willing to share with others. The talk was good; it was scholarly and enthusiastic, as only one of Miss Downeys training and ability would make. But her words were like good seed falling on stoney ground, so far as most of the listeners In that scant audience were concerned. At the rear of the hall, on some yickety benches, sat four people: (Continued on Utah-Arizon- Ivis Farr November 8, land clearing and excavation Account On Problems and Growth of Library hay-rid- Hovr Hones In Kanab Kanab City Librarian Writes Interesting By Several little year-roun- semi-dese- rt - Page-Four- ) saw for foundations begin for a new housing development for Kanab on the former Yourig property at 2nd West and 2nd North streets. Frank Short, widely known Provo builder, will construct a brick duplex and three brick homes on the property. Located near Kane County hospital and within walking distance of the business section of Kanab, the duplex is aimed at meeting the need for conveniently located modern rental properties and will be sold as investment property. The three homes will be of quality construction In the upper medium price range. They will be baths, brick, with fireplace, 1 and carport. Mr. Short, a builder of over 30 years experience, most recently has been engaged in building in and near Provo, where he developed the Viewmont, Del River, Mid Edgerrxmt rtwMviion, His long experience and success In building has enabled him to procure financing for his present building starts in Kanab, an item which has long hindered development in the Kanab area. Exclusive sales agent for Mr. Short will be Kanab Realty, Bob Bodvin, broker, and Errol G. Brown, salesman. Details of construction concerning these properties may be had by contacting Kanab Realty.

Journalism teachers and advisers were guests of the university at a noon luncheon meeting, and students toured the campus, saw motion pictures produced by B Y U, were entertained by a BYU student variety program, and browsed through exhibits of photographs and school publications.
