The two-da- y event at the By NANCY BRINGHURST Herald Correspondent Tlw history of The Church of Saints Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y includes the subject of polygamy, often misunderstood and more often ignored, said Lowell "Ben" Bennion Friday at Brigham Young University. Bennion, a professor at Humboldt State University in California, was at BYU along with other members of The Mormon History Association to present the latest research on Mormon history. "Most Mormons still think only a select few, two to three percent, of the early Latter-da- y Saints ever practiced plural marriage," he said. In fact, polygamy affected more people in more complex ways than previously thought, he said. "Our early research suggests that the practice varied from town to town and that the percentage varied from as low as six percent to as high as 67 percent," he said. Bennion has selected 60 towns, large and small, from an area that was known as "Mormon Country" in 1880. Most of the towns are located in Utah. "In our research we are looking at everyone who was related by kinship to a polygamist to calculate percentages." he said. In some cases, a few men, with many wives and children, constituted a high percentage of the town's population. In 1880 the U.S. government released the returns of a census which located polygamist households in the area. Bennion is using that report, along with personal histories, to aid him in his Utah County Fairgrounds in Spanish Fork hired horses from throughout the state. project. "Perhaps the factors most conducive to high, or low, acceptance of the practice will be found in the demographic structure of a given population and in the presence, or absence, of local leadership strongly converted to the principle," he said. Most polyga-mist- s took only one wife when they first married, often waiting until their 40 s or 50 s to add a second, he said. Therefore, towns with a high proportion of younger men and recent converts or immigrants tend to show a low percentage of polygamists." said Bennion. Mapping "Mormondom" will take a few more years and will conclude that the practice of plural marriage affected people in many complex ways, he said. "There is no evidence to sup Jordan Dredging Project Not Dead By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Herald Staff Writer The project to dredge the Jordan River between Utah Lake and the Great Salt Lake is still not dead. Utah County Commissioners called a meeting Friday with Utah Lake Landowners to discuss possible ways of interesting legislators in providing some funding for the project. Commissioners said Salt Lake County officials have indicated they may be willing to join in efforts to get some funding through the special legislative session to be called near the last of June. The funding may be for design studies on possible dredging, participants in the meeting indicated. Late last year the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was prepared to dredge the river within Utah County, with some financial participation from both counties, but Salt Lake County refused to sign the contract because of liability involved. The Corps then withdrew. Legislature for funding in the special March session. But the proposal never reached the floor. "I believe Salt Lake County people now realize they have more to gain from the dredging than we do." said County Commissioner Gary Anderson. Two-third- s of the dredging project would lie within Salt Lake County. Robert Fillerup, attorney for the Utah Lake Landowners, indicated they are still pursuing their $225 million damage suit against Salt Lake County waterusers for the high water in Utah Lake.

' Occupation made a difference, with more farmers and mechanics disposed to the practice than freighters and miners. One's economic means, on the other hand, may have mattered less than expected." Overall, the median so far lies in the percent range, said Bennion. No clear geographic pattern has emerged on the map so far, although there is a slightly higher percentage in the southern area of the state. ' Scholars have underestimated the extent of polygamy," he said.
