Several days later, in September 1850, Aaron Johnson and his William Miller led eight wagons containing 34 settlers to the banks of Hobble Creek and established the first settlement which was to become known as Springville. This site had been selected by Johnson and Miller several days before on a scouting misson-in-la- w sion. According to Johnson's record, "We were surprised at the beauty of the scene. We gazed with admiration upon the vast meadows spread before us, while the bunch grass along the foothills brushed the horses breasts. Never before had I beheld a grander prospect." For many this completed a long journey from the Midwest and finally gave them a permanent place to call home. Two days after their arrival in Springville they began to construct a fort. Aaron laid out the city following designs implemented by Brigham Young for cities in the west. The families that accompanied Johnson to Springville included: Myron N. Crandall, John W. Deal, Willian Miller, Amos S. n Warren, Martin P. Nelson and Crandall and Charles Warren. On Memorial Day this year, the descendants of Aaron Johnson and Lu-cia- the residents of Springville will honor the city founder with a memorial service and dedication of a new gravesite monument. Family and community members are invited to attend the 2 p.m. service at the Springville Cemetery, at 400 South 200 West. But White House Communications Director Mark Gearan said the second Marine helicopter was there because the aircraft usually fly in pairs. David Watkins, director of White House administration, resigned under pressure and a second aide was reprimanded and will be reassigned. Gearan said that taxpayers would be reimbursed for the use of both helicopters, which cost about $2,380 an hour apiece. He added that, in a show of solidarity, senior White House officials had agreed to chip in to help defray the cost. behind him. His action to renew benefits to Beijing was widely expected.

The White House first said that only one helicopter was involved and that the other one was on an "unrelated" training mission. But another White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the senior aides offered to chip in only after Watkins refused to pay for the entire tab himself. The White House had hoped to put an end to the issue when it moved quickly Thursday to discipline those involved in the outing, which had angered President Clinton and given grist to his Republican critics.
