The population of Ogdea had now swelled considerably, both by natural increase a'ftd by emigration from other parts. . Many more farms wer opened; some of them at a considerable distance from the dwellings of the owners. The male portion of the people being much of the time, engaged in the. field, while the female and children remained at home, it was determined ;to build Spanish' wall around the isy, a a dv fene'e),' with a gate on each, side, aad at convenient distances. port-hol- e This work afforded a safeguard against any sudden surprise by the vigilaut, ud still hostile Indiun; it at the same time furnished labor and the means of pro-- . ' curing subsistence for many individuals who otherwise would, at- that period, have been out of employ. The wall being built by taxation, probably cost about $40,000. The uniform kind policy pursued by the old and new settlers toward the aborigines was not without its good effects on th minds of th latter; they became reconciled to their situation, and the former realised that it was better and cheaper to feed than to fight them, and it is now very rare that, depreda tiohs are committed by the red man upon his whit neighbor in this station of th country. In 185f, the Ogden ksnyon road was built, at an immense labor and ex pense, considering the limited Sbpulatiou. It ost about $60,fi00. It is about seven miles in length, and opens into another (Ogden) beautiful little valley,- - which is now becoming thickly settled by a thriv. ing community. This road shortens the distance between Ogden and Bear Lake vallfy about fifty miles. ' - .
