State Office of Education funded the workshop. Focus of the workshop was upon the newly emerging emphasis that "mastery" of a subject ) j inns San Up 9ejk Jloivet As Low As Starting EARLY . HISTORY OF MILFORD f GEORGE A. HORTON, JB By "Many men stood out in business AN . circles during the early years. George Snow, son or Erastus, married a daughter of N.A. Stoddard and settled down here to manage the forwarding company, express office, and be the Postmaster, but when the "Con I" was organized for the area with headquarters in Salt Lake City, he moved there to become its general manager. H. B. Prout became the local manager withC. B. Stevens as bookkeeper, and with Snow's residence changed to Salt Lake, P. B. McKeon was able to gain the appointment as Postmaster. B.F. Grant was very successful in the early years with his large commissary and liquor business. In fact, by May of 1882, a correspondent to the DAILY TRIBUNE was saying that his company had almost exclusive control of the business in Milford. Grant, a brother of Heber J. Grant, was very antagonistic toward the Mormons at this time, and when Ebenezer Tanner, the Presiding Elder of the local Mormons, opened up a business on the corner just west across the street from the present JeffersonMercan-til- e Company, Grant was the first to voice his displeasure. Grand did not like the price Tanner was charging, because they were lower than his. He would occasionally visit Tanner's store and go behind the counter to check the prices of each The store carried commodity. dry goods on one side, all piece or yard materials, and groceries on the h Uonli Boutique and Floral I i.

Participants were given prac -tical examples, practice, and experience in Mastery TeachingOutcome Based Education. Most participants were enthused with new ideas of how to apply Mastery Learning and Outcome Based Education principles to improve programs already being taught successfully. General perception of the workshop was that the training was exceptional and that any participant should have become better prepared than before. All students can learn. All students can be successful. ) j other. One day Tanner told him to get on the other side of the counter and stay there. Grant became very angry and said that he would make that "Mormon s. of a b. leave town with his blankets on his back." Things must not have gone so well for Grant, however, because just about the reverse came true. He was forced to go out of business with total liabilities of over $30,000. The reason given was business depression and failure to collect outstanding accounts. His license to sell liwas given to Joseph Mague. quor Another interesting side to the business world of Milford was the For many years cattle industry. Milford was the shipping point for and sheep. thousands of cattle B. F. Saunders, big Western cattlemen from Northern Arizona andSou-ther- n Utah, used it as his shipping and Preston Nutter who bought point him out did the same thing. Several times each year, herds of cattle from Snake River Range, Pine Valley, and other stock sections were driven in for shipment. Then for days, and sometimes weeks, Milford was a cowboy's town A in every sense of the word. stranger, in town for the first time, might be led to believe he was on the great plains witnessing one of Browned by sun and wind, his dusty hat was rimmed with a band of sweat, and his neckerchief hung jauntily to the front or back. His leather chaps, trimmed with polished rivets and leather laces covered the top of his scuffed high -- heeled boots. The horse was his trusted and valuable friend, and the leather lariat strapped near the horn was not much closer than his saddle gun slung on one side. The Milford Valley, often referred to around Beaver andMinersvilleas the Lower Valley, was far superior range for cattle than any others in the immediate area. Especially along the river bottoms from Hay Springs to Black Rock the growth of meadow grass sometimes reached as high as a man's chest, and the availability of water made it desirable for range purposes. The largest stockmen in the area were Murdock and Farnsworth of The cattle business was good for many years, but it suffered a big setback during the severe winter of 1889 when many of the range cattle froze to death. The farming aspect of agriculture did not fare as well as the cattle business. Early settlers around the Horse Shoe Bend area such as Peter Martin, Edwin Bingham, and Deseret N. Hickman, about where the present Carl Goodwin farm is, farmed only on a limited scale, as in the late Seventies and Beaver Eighties. They had large tracts of land north of Milford on the Beaver Bottoms where they pastured several thousand cattle every year. The size of their stock interests can be estimated by a shipment they made in 1884. They trailed 1,900 head of cattle to Evanston, Wyoming to ship to the Chicago market, and at the same time kept 2,500 head at the bottoms. In March of the following year they sold out for the sum of $123,750, Cattle Company to the Ryan-Reawho ranged their herds all the way from Cunningham Matthews Ranch on the east side of the Mineral Range to the Nevada State Line. There were other men who engaged in the livestock industry on a more limitedscale. DavidA. Tanner has said, Father had cattle scattered atone time, clear from Cedar City to Oasis. I remember one year when father sold to a man named Gibson. He sold 100 three year olds and up (all steers), and then turned around and bought 500 yearlings, branded them, and just turned them out on the range. & The 1986 (November ) Great American Smokeout broke all records for participation, with an unprecedented 23.8 million smokers trying to kick the cigarette habit for 24 hours, according to a Gallup survey commissioned by the American Cancer Society. The survey found that 43.7 percent of the nation's 54.5 million smokers took part in the tenth annualSmoke-ou- t on November 20, either by avoidor by cuting cigarettes completely tobacco normal on their down ting intake. Of the participants, seven million were able to make it through the day without lighting up, and another 16.8 million cut down. "The survey findings just confirm that smokers want to quit, and that programs like the Great American Smokeout give them the opportunity to see for themselves that quitting," says Lynn Meinor, Public Education and Information Director for the Utah Dvision of the American Cancer Society. Public awareness reached an all-tihigh, according to the poll, with nine of ten Americans claiming awareness of the event. The survey was based on telephone interviews with a representative national sample of 1,213 men and women, 18 years of age and older.
