THE BLADE.; g ;" T7 THE TERRITORY OPi UTAfl. .' 21 , 1FD5 SATURDAY MORN., PEG V Only a few days longer and the word territory' as applied to Utah will be a matter of h$t(ry.i Nearly av half century Jias elapsed since the pioneers, foot-sorbut not discouraged, emerged from the fastnesses of the noble Wasatch and looked out on the variegated landscape , of Salt Lake valley. All along that tedious trail from the Missouri river to the mouth of Emigration canyon that great pioneer and commonwealth-builder, Young, Brigham wherever possible had sought information relative to the soil, climate and length of seasons in the valley pf the Great Salt Lake.' JJo had been told the summers were too short for the maturing of crops, and that Jack Frost visited the valley every: night in the year. Notw ithstanding those unfavorable reports, the valley, by comparison with the country over which they had passed, appeared to the pilgrims to be a veritable paradise. Along the foothills aud benches that skirted the mountain walls the gray sage bush intermingled writh the waving bunch grass marked the zone of the higher lands. Below were green meadows and lines of cottonwoods marking the courses of a half wcorei mountain streams that poured their precious fluid with seeming prodigality into the little; r.iver thafc wound in graceful curves through the valley and on to the great salt sea that, like burnhed silver, occupied the northwestern por tion of the basin. To those whom the bigotry of a pei verted Christianity had forced from civilizathe valley wa3 a place tion, of refuge. The oppressive silence suggested rest and peace. As the little caravan moyed on to the cottonwood groves on what ws afterwards called City creek, and the tired pilgrims looked back on the splintered and Assured wall that .nature had reared to suGh majestic heights, they thought only of Little did; the pioneers protection. dream that in the years to come those same mountains would send forth streams of gold, of silver, copper and lead. Not a thought asjto the industrial and; icommercial value of those mountain ramparts entered the minds of the pioneers. There was no thought of the exquisite beauty of the dells and scenes of surpassing grandeur through which they had toiled and hewn apatb for those that might also find an asylum in that" mduntain home. The thought that came to them was of the difficulties that would beset the path of a future foe that might possibly follow them, and of the ease vith which a score of determined men might hold in check a thousand foes. When Brigham Young said "here is the spot," there ' was more of inspiration than of human wisdom; it was the expression of a faith born of Divinity as the sequel has abundantly pioved.
