There was also a trend towards expanding receipts, so far as cattle were concerned. At Los Angeles arrivals of 7200 head for the week were 500 larger than trade period of the the four-da- y previous week but 1500 lighter than corresponding week a year ago. At twelve principal markets of the country the week's cattle supply increased nearly 55,000 0 over the previous week and over corresponding period a year ago. This probably signals the opening of the real fall movement of cattle from the range areas. Los Angeles drew cattle from a wide radius, including Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Ida- 14,-40- The Story of Copper in Utah 1 7" . ': - 4 tXtti Hy GKOUGE V. WOOOHOUSK OLD SPANISH AX1 INDIAN TRA1US OF BKAVKIt tX)UXTY William Allred, a pioneer of Beaver, said the "Old Ute Trail," the one the Indians used in the summer, went up Bone Hollow and across the Tables, passing near the First Spring and over the moun tain to Merchant Valley then over Cnzzly Ridge to Three Creeks Meadows then around the south side of Box Canyon to Britt's Meadows, then to Puffer Lake, going up the east arm of the lake to the divide and down Cottonwood Can yon to the Sevier River. In the 60's a Ute Indian stole William Allred's team. He went up the Beaver to where the Bak er's Canyon stream comes In. Then he took a northeasterly course and entered the Ute Trail near First Spring. Allred, although on foot succeeded in getting around him while he was cooking and eating a .grouse he had killed. Allred con cealed himself behind a small pine tree on the south side of the Box Canyon. He awaited the coming of the Indian, who came along sing ing an Indian song, he was evident ly happy, with his gun across the horse's withers and leading the other horse. Allred's revolver went bang and the thief oiled off the norse dead, with a bullet hole in his chest. The pioneer broke the old styled gun over a rock, throwing it, and the now igood Indian over the cliff. He mounted one of the horses and was soon home with his work team. Cunningham Mathews, a pioneer of Beaver and builder of the once famous "Centennial Hotel," 1876, was also a breeder of fine horses, owning the thoroughbred stallion Mark Livingston." He took up the Cunningham Mathews Ranch, 18 miles northwest of Beaver. He said there was an old Indian trail leading from Beaver Valley to his ranch, and that the country around there was a favorite hunting The trail ground of the Indians. went past the ranch, over the divide and down the Hot Spring Pass to lower Milford Valley. He also said an Indian trail went through Minersville Canyon and one thru the Big Canyon Pass or Soldier Pass to the Milford Valley. History tells us that in July, 1776, a party of nine explorers in cluding two priests, Escalante and Dominquez, left Santa Fe, N. M with pack train, bound for Monterey, Calif. They took a northwesterly course from Santa Fe and traversed a portion of what is now the state of Colorado and turned into Utah, coming down Spanish Fork Canyon to Utah Lake "The Spanairds bent their way southwesterly in direction of Monterey," (Bancroft) . "Moving on across the Sevier or Escalante Desert, they suffer much for want of water and possibly the party would have perished had friendly Indians not guided them to the banks of the Sevier.". (L. E. Young). Where the Beaver River enters the Sevier, Escalante called it "The Meadow of the Gateway." Here their Indian guide left them and they followed up stream to the vicinity of where Minersville is now located. They had received such a choking on the Sevier Desert, northwest and west of Sevier Lake, that some of the "old timers" of Beaver, including Dr. Christian believed that the Escalante party followed the stream Into Beaver Valley and seeing the fall sonw to the east on the high "Tusher Range" (tusher is an Indian word for snow) they turned Valsouth to the Parowan-Ceda- r River Colorado cross and the ley at or near Lee's Ferry, they returned to Santa Fe.

GRANGER K. the picture, not yet too about these conditions, particularly as they apply to our renewable resource! such as our forests, range lands, and our farms. How can this be NE4WS FOREST RKSKED1NG PROGRAM Most if not all of the wealth produced in our state and nation comes from two major kinds of resources; namely, renewable reresources and resources. The sources consist of such resources as oil, cdal, and other minerals that are mined or extracted from mother earth and in general are gone from us forever when they have once been used. The renewable resources are those that grow upon the earth's surface such as timber, forage, and crops of all kinds that are the 'products of the soil. These are the resources that mankind is so vitally interested in because it is upon these that all forms of animal life including man must de pend for subsistence and exist le ence. At various times and in various the history of the world, either man or beast has destroyed these resources to a point where they could no longer exist upon them which has resulted in either wars for expansion or elimination through starvation. As a plan of habitation for man our country is comparatively new and up to the nreesnt time the population that subsists upon the renewable resources has not reached a point where conditions have become crowded. So far in our history as a nation, we have enjoyed an abundance of almost everything that goes to make life comfortable and enjoyable. It has been because of this abundance of resources that we have been able to turn the great world conflict just coming to a close in our favor. It is time, however, that we have made deep inroads into the resources both renewable and Many of our mines have been or are being depleted and much of our soil has been denuded of its cover to a point where it has been or is rapidly being eroded away. places throughout er means to eliminate the brush competition for moisture in these areas and planted to crested wheatgrass or other drouth resistant species. Most of these plantings are outstanding successes and in addition to reducing or almost completely eliminating the erosion problem which is so serious In our state, these areas are now producing as much as ten times or more in forage for livestock as they were producing before this planting was done. The areas visited were on lands under the administration of the U. S. Forest Service, the Grazing Service and some on privately owned range lands. The success on all of these lands was outstanding where proper methods of tilling, planting, and protection have been applied. Utah has many thousands and perhaps millions of acres of sagebrush range lands where there is little question but what grazing capacities could be increased through raruge reseeding as has been done on these sizeable test areas. This would not only add to the productive wealth of our state but would help to reduce soil erosion which is eroding away so much of our valuable top soil.
