C., who will judge the beef cattle and draft horses, is one of the best judges of these classes in the state. Prof. C. Y. Cannon of the B. Y. U., is the only man in the state of Utah who is accredited by both the Association of America, and the Jersey Cattle Club to judge their breeds. Tt also happens that there are only four men west of the Mississippi who are on the accredited list of the American Jersey Cattle Club. Prof. Alva Esplin, like Prof. K. C. Ikeler, is a U. A. C. faculty member, and if you have seen him fn action while he is judging, you are sure that he knows his sheep. Prof.Ruion Dixon is the Ag. Teacher at the Pleasant Grove High School and to our notion is the best poultry and pet judge in the Intermountain Country. loetr together. 1 he name Spanish Fork la said to have been given to thla city becauao of the fact that the Spaniards came through this canyon on their way from Ihe eaat to California, to Tulildge, Enoch According Reese, one of the earliest of our Utah merchants, waa the first man who look up land in Ihe Spanish Fork Itfver bottom.

It was derided to gather all tbe settlers together In a settlement at Palmyra, where the flrat fort wae built. In 1852, and a group of about 75 famlllea made up the settlement. Palmyra was granted a city charter by the Territorial legislature, and Wealey W. Willis was chosen the first Mayor and Samuel Pollock as the flrat City Recorder. Following the Walker War of i853 it was derided that a fort should be built at Palmyra for the protection of the people against the Indians. The year arter the fort Waa built, it was found that the site of Palmyra waa ungulled to the building of a city, a the water was too near the For thla reaaon a fort waa built on the present site of Spanish Fork. It was located about on the corner of Main Street and Third South, and was 100 feet by 60 feet In size with only one entrance, a gate sixteen feet wide and sixteen feet high, and made of two fnrh planks laid double. A well was dug in tbe center of tbe fort and supplied with a log pump. The houses were built Into the wail with the windows all facing In. In the Spring of 1855 a survey was made of nine blocks, each 24 rods square and having four lots to tbe block. This system has been followed out in the later platting of the city. As soon as the original survey was made, the people began moving out onto lots near the fort and building themseires houses of adobes or dugouts in the ground. On January 17th, 1855, the Utah Legislature Spanish Fork city Its charter and established its main boundaries. According to the provisions of the charter the first municipal election was held on the 1st of May, 1855. The result of the election was: Mayor, Matthew Caldwell, Aldermen and Councilors, John H. Redd, H. B. M. Jolley, Cyrus Snell, Wilson D. Pace, Jos. B. Hawks, Marshall; John W. Snell; City Recorder; Isaac Brock-banTreasurer. In the spring of 1856 the people of the lower settlement, or Palmyra, were advised to abandon their fort and move to Spanish Fork, which they did without hesitancy. Spanish Fork has continued to grow and prosper since it was first organized in the old fort, wfth a handful of people huddled together in a fort for fear of Indians, through the various vicissitudes of early pioneer life, through the struggles with savage Indians, insect pests and other discouragements, through the days of when we were called gopher town' in derision, through the days of the adobe houses, until today we can look upon a community of civic pride and thank the spirit of the pioneers who settled here and overcame the obstacles to our ; - . h-- c. t aet-tl- ject. tainment featurea to the exhibit. Too much credit cannot be given to our High School Boy' Clubs. They are putting forth their best effort this year to outdo their exhibits of previous years and to prove this they wf.l have about one car load of a pretty baby beef a8 well a fat hogs and sheep as ever entered a show ring. The show board are behind these boys clubs one hundred per cent and asks the clubs from all parts of the county to participate. Everybody should get behind this movement to encourage the boys In their work, because they are the ones upon whom In the near future we will be depending for our dairymen and stockmen, and from the enthusiasm they are putting forth In fattening and puttfng Into condition their ex- n m ty Much favorable comment waa beard from all clasaea of people at our 1928 ahow, rcgardnlg the buildings, and the ahow waa ao greatly Improved In aplte of the Inclement weather that the county offlclala and membera of the ahow board were greatly encouraged and moved forward toward the development of a greater llveetock exhibit for 1929, and the effleera and dlrectora are putting fn, their beat effort to make thla show jthe biggest and beat ever held from- the enter- Spanish Fork First Settled in Year 1850 FFICAL PROGRAM - FIFTH ANNUAL i xK UTAH COUNTY LIVESTOCK SHOW WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27th 8 p. m.Stock Show Boxing and Wrestling Match (American Legion Club Rooms) THURSDAY, MARCH 28th Governors Day 1 p. m.
