According to the Gurr family records about 70 or more passengers came on the ship "Lucas" sailing from Sidney, Australia, to San Pedro Harbor where they landed October 12, 1857. Among them were George D. Kobb, born in Sidney, Australia, 1855, to William and Ellen Belle Robb. The Robb family embraced the teachings of the Mormon Elders and made the trip on the ship "Lucas" with other converts enrouie to Utah. George jeopardized his chances of reaching the Promised land, by falling overboard, but was rescued and arrived with his parents in San Pedro Harbor. They moved to San Bernardino, California, and soon thereafier moved again to Red Creek (now known as Paragonah) Computer Farming? g settled there. Hal Nielson' consults his comwhen he wants to know the puter most economical mixture for feed to give the animals on his family's farm. He has written a program that will tell him not only the cheapest feed way to mix nutritious rations, but the same program will also give the most economical way to combine ingredients to produce quality sausage and the best way to get maximum profit from a given crop. Hal's mother uses the computer to process the large number of checks used in paying bills for the family business. And now some of the family's Gunnison, Utah neighbors are asking the Brigham Young University graduate student to write computer programs to make their agricultural or retail businesses more efficient and profitable. In fact, Hal, who is working on a master's degree in agribusiness, finds the electronic tool so useful that he bought his own microprocessor and installed it in hisprivate study carrel. When he moves into the family's agriculture business, he plans to make it an integral part of economic decisions. Computers are moving into agriculture so rapidly - even at the family farm level - that BYU agriculture students will be demonstrating their uses in a special display March 27 to 30 during Agriculture Week. The exhibit will be located in the Stepdown Lounge of the Wilkinson Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dr. Robert L. Park, a professor of animal science at BYU and one of three professors teaching a new course called "Computer His first home was in Cottonwood where, on March 9, 1851, he married Harriet Editha Par-risThat same year they accompanied Aposiles Rich and Lyman and many others to California. he During the winter of 1857-5brought his family back to Utah and settled in Beaver which place became his permanent home. He was the Pioneer brick maker of that locality and built one of the houses in Beaver. first In 1862, having had considerable dealings with the Indians, he was made a Major in the Militia, which office he held until it was disbanded in 1870. He served as Bishop of Beaver First Ward, holding that position until July 26, 1877, when he was chosen second counselor to President John R. Murdock in the Beaver Slake. In 1893, he was elected Mayor of Beaver. Death brought to a close the life of this respected and beloved man February 5, 1904. Laraessa S. Baker Taken from files of the D.U.P.

Agriculture schools are beginning to teach future farmers, ranchers and dairymen practical uses for the electronid "farmhands." There is a market, still in its infancy, for programs, either for microprocessors or hand-helprogrammable calculators, to help agribusiness people beat rising cosis. Computers are being put to work wherever they can tackle the perennial agricultural question of profit versus loss. For example, another BYU graduaie student, Robert Moul-tois working on a program that will let the dairy farmer analyze a cow's laciation, estimate her feed requirements and project his cost on that animal, thus making it possible to compare particular cow s and improve the herd based on hard economic data. The program could be adapted to any size dairy operation. Next. Moulton says, he hopes lo work on a program for the beef d n producer. Hal Nielson has written a program to calculate whether leasing or buying needed equipment would be the farmer's cheapest course. "We're seeing computers move inioall areas of fertilizer recommendations, sprayer sellings, crop planning, adjustment of weaning weights, and the list goes on." Park explains. Sitting down at a terminal, he demonstrates a program designed to help the farmer determine, based on current economic data fed into the machine, whether it would be advisable lo "lock in" a price for his cattle by signing a fuiures contract, or lo wait and put them up for sale at the prevailing markei price when they are fattened. Agricultural use of computers will be "a revolution as soon as we can get the software written.

Both Mr. Shepherd and his wife had children by a former marriage; also one child, Lydia, born to Ihem September 16, 1836 in Hancock County, Illinois. Two of Mrs. Shepherd's children, Hamilion and Nathan, were members of the Mormon Battalion, as was Marcus Lafayette Shepherd, a son of Samuel. The glowing description of Southern California given by these boys caused them to join the wagon train bound for California in 1851. Nathan and his brothers, George and Harley took up ranches adjoining each other and became large cattle owners in what is known as Swarthoul Canyon in the San Bernardino Mountains. Marcus Lafayette Shepherd, after his honorable discharge from the service in the Mormon Battalion found employment in California and gold mining until the fall of 1848 when he, with a parly of twelve, journeyed Lake Cily to rejoin to Salt members of his family who had whip-sawin- AXtililU a UIamerenwd yyj Beaver B.P.W. held their monthly meeting March 19, 1979 28, By John Gtinn 7 I Iron Couniv, Utah, December 1897.

She welcomed the members and a guest, President of the Southern District, Mrs. Ella Van Groningen. She told the members she was happy to be with the club and invited us to attend the spring convention in Cedar City at Sullivan's Cafe on April 21, 1979 at 1:30 P.M. Donna Morris read the collect. Minutes were read by Terry Campbell and approved. Committee for club were Gloria Murdock, Chris Vickers, Ethel Blackner, Dora McMullin and Carie Bradshaw. The career girl was chosen and introduced by Gloria Murdock and Ann Hamilton. Ann Copley was born July 8, 1952 in Salt Lake City to Mr. and Mrs. Bud Copley. She attended Hillcrest High School and graduated from Brighton High. She attended Utah Technical College of Salt Lake and completed a course in stenographer work. Ann's first interest in Beaver came when her foreign car broke down on Labor Day weekend and she spent five days here. She met Ralph Hamilton and they were married in 1973. She worked as a waitress at the Flying M Cafe. Later she was manager of the cafe. When Sandy Black left her job at the hospital, Ann applied and went to work at the Beaver Valley Hospital June 1976. She and Ralph joined the Jaycees. Ann became involved in the Jaynes. She has been a member of the B.P.W. for 2 years. She is going to attend school in Cedar City to complete her education. She will compete with other career girls at the Spring Convention in Cedar City, where the Woman of the Year will be honored, We believe Ann will make a good career girl to represent our club. Gloria Murdock and Chris Vickers sang "Touch the Wind". Ann read her resume. She has prepared for the competition and asked for some constructive criticism. TRIVIA. Have any of you tried the new Hidden Valley ranch .dressing that you use milk and mayonnaise with instead of buttermilk? It is a good salad dressing. Plus it makes a good dip for potato chips, fritos or whatever you like for a snack. Good for dipping raw carrots,, celery, cauliflower, turnips or any finger food. It is also good on baked potatoes instead of sour cream. Or cooked cauliflower and broccoli, instead of butler or whatever you use. It is good on lots of other vegetables. Try it out and see if you like it. One package makes a pint. Does not spoil fast as long as you refrigeraie when not using it and cover it with a lid. Another product that can be used a lot of ways is California Onion Soup. Besides soup and dip ii can be used in meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, stews, in gravy, vegetables, or anything that you want lo try and is a little different. I'm sure many of you readers know other ways for products besides Ihe ones I've mentioned. Just like Cup of Soup. You can use Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Chicken, Tomatoe soup for a can of Campbell's Soup. You don't have to substitute milk for the water either. I find these things out by deciding to make something and find out I don't have all the ingredients I need and an too lazy to go to town for one lousy thing. 1 hate to go to town anyhow. One can of Campbell's soup makes 2'i cups of soup. One package of Cup of Soup makes a cup. Cup of Soup comes in four packets to a box so it takes two and one half packets to a can of soup. I'm not going to tell you is cheaper or anything like that, just that if you're in a hurry and have one or the olher it works. , Gas Ratioaisag And Utah , Tax Rules and Dependency Separated and divorced parents check their tax return instructions before claiming children as dependents, the Inshould ternal Revenue Service said.

Utah Travel Council Director, Alton Frazier, in an address delivered to Utah Innkeepers Association, meeting in St. George, has stated that certain of the federal government's proposals for limiting fuel consumption could be extremely detrimental to the economy of Utah. In his remarks, Frazier stressed the importance of the travel industry in Utah and ihe need for individual western states to have the options of alternative measures to conserve gasoline and olher motor fuels. "The proposals of the federal government to curtail the supply of motor fuels presents a critical issue for the Utah travel industry," Fraier said. "At present there appear to be. three major considerations in the federal plan, with the first of those, a nationwide rationing plan." Frazier indicated that the rationing program would allocate a predetermined number of gallons r of fuel on an individual or basis. There does not seem lo be, ai the present time, a clear understanding of how (his program would be made workable or equitable, according to the direcper-ca- tor. "The second alternative d by the federal government would require the closing of service stations on veckends, possibly from noon Fridays to midnight Sundays, bul again, the full details of the proposal are incomplete," Frazier stated. The third means under consideration is the introduction of a pricing mechanism that would deregulate prices, allowing gasoline costs to rise to discourage motorists from driving for anything except necessities. "Partly because none of these proposals have been developed to provide full details of their implementation, and partly because there are so many unknowns created by Ihe proposals, it is impossible at this lime to provide finite information on their impact," Frazier said.

But those first tourists had John Hance One woman said of this celebrated and accomplished Arizona storyteller, "If the Lord loveth a cheerful fakir. He must be very well satisfied with John Hance." John, who was a voluble talker, would entertain his guests with the most peculiar and exaggerated yarns imaginable. He became the "Baron Manchausen of the West." His voice has been described as similar to Teddy Roosevelt's- -a sort of high falsetto as he approached the climax of a tale. Hamlin Garland, a celebrated author, described Hance as "a powerful and astonishing fiction-is- t. Consciously he is a teller of w hopping lies. Unconsciously he is one of ihe most dramaiic and picturesque natural raconteurs I have ever met." Hance's business flourished for the next five or six years, especially during the summer months. Conversely, when the snow goi too deep and the cold too severe, he would retreat to his cabin to the bottom of the gorge and do a little exploring, prospecting, and planting. Following the cycle, as the first signs of spring became apparent, the eager tourist world began to arrive at Hance's "Inn." And they, young and old, known and unknown, came not only from Arizona, California, and oiher states in ihe Union, but also from Germany, England, France, Scotland, Austria, Canada, Belgium and elsewhere. "The Guardian of the Grand Canvon" would warmly welcome them all. On Nov. 14, 1892, W.F. Cody and a late season party of Without atSvarfei.ig, special your KnecWie . JOHN HANCE CF GRAND CANYON Continued from last week The same ye'ar Hance erected another much larger log building along side his original cabin. It served as a combination hall and kitchen. Travelers would refer to it as the "Log House." As the newly awakened interest in Grand Canyon spread, so did the tourist trade. The initial travelers had little choice as to their methods of travel. They had to come either by wagon, stage, or horseback. The trip to Hance's ranch approximately sixty-fiv- e miles from Flagstaff, could be made in one day, or about ten to eleven hours, with four relays of six horses each. The cost was $20. Hance reflected at that time upon the wise move he had made when on June 26, 1884, he commenced surveying and building a road 33 miles in length from Cedar Springs, south of the San Francisco Peaks, to the Grand Canyon. (In this party were William Hull and Silas Ruggles.) Several tourists have recorded their first impressions, and other details, upon arrival at Hance's tent cily. One wrote: "The ladies are assigned to single tents, of which a score are scattered about. The men, all hungry as wild beasts, are led into a canvas caravansary big as a circus tent, where canvas cages for each one of us has been provided. We write our names in the register of this unique hotel, and then pick up and curiously peruse another volume of handwriting, marked John Hance's Visitor Book." Another writer wrote in a more descriptive manner: "By a log cabin, surrounded by a dozen or more tents, sits a sturdy man of about fifty, whose tawny hair and beard are literally sprinkled with gray. He wears a suit of brown velveteen and a great flapping sombrero. "After having been presented to this King of the Canyon, you register in the log cabin, which is a combination hotel office and storehouse for tinned meats and vegetables, hams and bacon. Then you are shown to your tent, which is a most comfortable affair.

Hance knew, of course, that Cody was the famous "Buffalo Bill" whom he had admired for years. The two men took to each immediately. A short time later when another visitor signed the book she observed that the walls of Hance's cabin were papered with pictures of Buffalo Bill in every pose he ever struck. However, it was also in 1892 that Hance's monopoly of the tourist and guide business came to an end. Competition entered in, and along with storms and rock slides which partly destroyed his trails this aging pioneer saw the handwriting on the wall and sold what is known as 'Hance Trails.' to J.W.

Jesus Christ of Latter-dathe meeting was Conducting President Gail D. VanTassell. Brother Dan F. Joseph gave a brief history of the Stake including each Stake president and the outstanding things each had done. President Gail D. VanTassell told of the history of President John R. Murdock, Beaver Stake's first stake president. He then spoke of President Paul K. Nielson, our present Stake President, and his many concerns for each of us today. Sister Eris S. Nielson spoke to the women of the stake, explaining to them the importance of their role in the church. She spoke of Eve, Emma Smith and Camilla Kimball and what important roles they have played 'in the lives' of their husbands. President James B. Morgan told about three past Stake Presidents and some of their spiritual experiences. While Wallace D. Yardley was president there was severe drought in the area. After much fasting and prayer it rained nearly one inch. President Paul K. Nielson told that we are in a race to the future and we must not look back, but draw strength from the preparations and foundations that have been made for us. He challenged everyone to prepare for the coming of the Savior. The concluding speaker was Elder Tuttle. He spoke of the need of strengthening the family. He said we owe a debt of gratitude to the pioneers. He admonished all that we should live lives so that our children might say of us as Nephi of old said in I Nephi 1:1, "I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught... in all the learning of my father." The choir sang two beautiful selections: "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains," with a duet by Nell Smith and Carol Smith, and "Still, Still with Thee." Sherman.
