I remember her husband Mr. Harvey Dean, he sold Watklns products. Following Is Mrs. Dean's first article for the Milford News: Early Days InMllford This is the first of a series of articles describing the Early Days of Milford. Mrs. Harvey A. Dean, a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, who has spent countless hours compiling for that organization a history of Milford and of the" various pioneer families, has made available to The News a copy of her records, and each week, until the entire history has been published, a portion of it will appear. The News wishes to thank Mrs. Dean, the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, and other contributors, for making this material available to our readers. When you compare life in Milford today with the description given ) by some of its oldest residents, we are filled with wonder at the development that has taken place here in the life's span of these Individuals. John W. Myers, now 86 years of age, who for many jrears was a freighter through Southern Utah and Eastern. Nevada, remembers how this section of the country looked he says, "before the town of Milford was ever even though of." Be remembers that this townslte looked like a barren wasteland, where nothing grew but sagebrush and greasewood. Through the strip of meadow grassland to the east of Milford there once flowed the Beaver River, but those days the meadow grass grew tall and thick and from the time he was nine years old until he was 13, he and his brother; came from Miners vllle to Yellow Banks, two miles north of Milford, where they cut wild hay with a scythe and hauled It back to Minersvllle with an ox team. The mining Industry was the chief reason for the settlement of Milford. The. Horn Silver mine of Frisco contributed to most of the Others building up of Milford. that contributed materially to the Industry of the early days of this community were the Moscow, the Hickory, Harrington --Hickory, Red Warrior and Hoosier Boy. The Lincoln. Cave and Creole mines of the East range helped.

The House defeated an amendment offered by Hansen which would have limited the Secretary of the Interior's power to refuse applicaand tions for leases, rights-of-wa- y, other federal actions on lands "adjacent to" parks if the actions have a "significant adverse effect" on the parks. Hansen warned that the "adjacent to" and "significant adverse effect" clauses are not defined in the bill. "These clauses are dangerously vague, and are an open invitation for abuse by over --zealous bureaucrats and judges who want to slow or halt farming, ranching, hunting, tourist activities, logging mining, and oil drilling on lands near our national parks," Hansen said. Hansen called the bill "a backdoor method" of expanding the national parks. "If we want to expand the national parks, we should simply vote to do so and not create a new system and bureaucracy to block the use of lands near national parks," Hansen stated. According to Hansen, if "adjale cent to"" were defined as a national around the park, strip the Park Protection Act would extend federal jurisdiction over millions of acres in the U.S. Hansen said a ten-mi- le strip around the national parks in Utah creates an area which is almost 20 percent of the ten-mi- whole state. Park Protection "The Act is misnamed," Hansen said. "IFlshould be called the National Park Buffer Zone Act. It creates a new test which makes every use of the public lands surrounding the national parks totally subservient to the interests of the parks." Hansen and his colleague on the House Interior Committee, Dick requested the nonCheney Research Congressional partisan Service to review HJt. 2379, the Park Protection Act. Hansen and Cheney cited the following statement from the Congressional Research Service to bolster their arguments against the bill. "H.R. 2379 and Amendment No. 1 would effectively create 'buffer zones' around all national parks In order to limit or to reduce the Impact of outside activities on the park. This sounds relatively benign and potentially desirable from an environmental standpoint, but it could create several problems that could limit natural resources development." "The interests of millions of our, citizens, their very, livelihoods, will be at the mercy of the Secretary of the Interior and the national parks near which they reside and work. In the hands of a zealous Secretary of the Interior, the public interests of protecting a national park would always be found ,to exceed the public interest of farming, ranching, hunting, mineral and oil exploration, logging, sewer projects, and highway construction, etc.," Hansen added. ed (R-W- Get rid of unwanted property advertise in the Want Ad section Call 387-208- 1 VOID DOG EEEDS . viTHPir:s,TOo.

One ford was at Horseshoe Bend, two miles south of town near the present Bill Baker ranch, and the other was east of Yellow Banks, about two miles north of town. Freighters traveling laborwith their heavy wagon -iously loads of ore drawn by oxen or mules, day after day In dust to the hubs, through scorching desert heat, in rain or snow, often chilled to the bone by the icy winds, often forded the river to reach the mill. "The mill ford" gradually was shortened to "Milford," and when the settlement became a community, it was known as Milford.
