Their town grew, and courage. BUS HONOR ROLL be te Pioneering in the valleys of Southern Utah Territory imposed untold suffering and hardships upon the settlers. They had chosen a hard land to subdue. Often their arrival had the problem of isolation to solve. In plain words, they were on their own in a wild and unchartered land. Indians who fought the invasion of the white man, created a grave danger that had to be met. Different methods had to be adopted to master every situation. After the Beaver Pioneers arrived in the valley, tremendous tasks awaited them. There were cabins to build, land to survey, irrigations must be considered, many ditches to dig, City government to organize, officers to be appointed. They would and need a' saw -- mill, a grist-mi- ll many other things. So they set to work with a will to obtain them. For the first few years there was never enough food. Weed greens, sego bulbs, wild fruits and ground cherries, pinenuts and acorns were used to help out the food supply. Trips into the mountains for wild game proved to be a risky business because of Indian bands on the prowl. There was never enough bedding to go round. Stories are told of how families managed through the long winter nights. Half the family would sit up part of the night and keep the fires burning while the other half slept. Then take turn about. Clothing , too, became a scarslty. It was not unusual to see a man wearing trousers made from an old wagon cover. Once in a while he may be lucky enough to trade with an Indian for a buckskin suit.

One man caught In a heavy rainstorm thought to remedy this situation by cutting off his much too long, wet and muddy pant legs. When they dried, he found himself in knee breeches. For two or more years the Beaver Pioneers were without a doctor. However, there were gifted men and women who gave freely of their knowledge In caring for the sick and afflicted.

These can be plain old curs, or pups, or even someone's prize hunting dog, but, as long as they are allowed to run at large, they all amount to the same irritating nuisance. Section 130 of the revised Ordinances of Beaver City, states in "It shall be unlawful for part: any person to keep or have in his possession within the corporate limits of Beaver City, a dog or pup dog, which is not registered and licensed - - - -- ", and Section 134 states: "It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dog, to permit said dog whether it be licensed or unlicensed to run at large within the limits of Beaver City between the hours of sundown and sunrise; or the owner of any female dog In heat to run at large within the corporate limits of Beaver City at anytime; such dcgs may be killed by the City Marshall or any police officer of Beaver City, and the owner or possessor shall be subject to a fine in any sum not to exceed fifty do- 10c !0 L James i 1 B.
