Murphys Rock House Moab on . and Mrs Felix G. Murphy arrived in Aug. 17, 1881 with 23 head of cattle They were among the valley's first settlers. They settled in a rock house across the road from what is now Lions Park. Later they homesteaded land south of town, where Felix built this sturdy rock house two years after their arrival. Grand Memories says that he left loopholes in the walls at intervals, small openings in the walls through which to shoot guns. They were prepared tor an Indian attack, but even though hundreds of Native Americans passed through the valley each spring and fall, the Murphys never had to use the loopholes This photo, taken in 1908, and brought to us by a member of the MurphyKmght family, shows Felix, seated in the center, surrounded by his wife, seven sons and two daughters. Only partial identification was provided. That is probably Marne at right of the door, standing next to Peari Murphy Knight. Vic and Otho Murphy, well remembered by many Moabites, were probably the small boys in the foreground, Remains of the old rock house were protected by his son, Otho, who lived next to it for many years.

Council Member Jerry McNeely did not agree that the council needed further information. How many attorneys do you want to go through before you make a decision?" McNeely asked Langianese. The comment sparked an angry exchange between McNeely and Council Member AJ McLeod, which culminated with McLeod telling McNeely to back off." McNeely responded Dont you tell me to back off, buddy. All council members agreed to postpone the vote for two weeks, but Council Member Bart Leavitt said he wants the issue resolved. Leavitt said he believes having the county provide water and sewer services to the development is preferable to hearing The new law a public hearing unless the requires petition is filed on behalf of all owners of tile land in question.

Navarre said. That's part of the protocol." A hazardous materials team will respond to all suspicious incidents, he added, and depending on the situation, memlx rs may be dressed in suits. Adamson advised residents on what to look for in checking their mail: letters sealed all the way to the edges (most envelopes are not sealed completely I, envelopes with lumps or loose material that can be felt through the paper, suspicious or missing return addresses. If you're opening mail, do it in an area that does not have air blowing through it, he said, explaining that m the event an envelope did contain a hazardous substance like anthrax, it can be spread further in a windy or drafty area. The FBI advised individuals to also w atch for other signs in check We re gearing up with detection and training," Davis said. The hospital has a supply of CIPRO, the antibiotic used to treat certain types of x infections. If needed, tliey have tile abd-lt- y to take nasal sw abs and process tests for anthrax locally But in. the event that individuals are exposed to anthrax or amtr tet tlie disease in Moab, Dans says tests w ill most likely be handled at the state- - epidemiology lab in halt Lake C lty. If anything like that happens, well go right to the state lab," he said. On Monday, prior to the public announcement by Grand County officials that two suspicious envelopes were being investigated, Davis said he knew of no one who had requested to be tested for anthrax at AMH Sparks fly as annexation plan is tabled Get out of the building and wait until authorities show up. If theres an exposure and we do show up, dont he alarmed if A Were prepared firmed that his department had f ixed a report about the incidents to the newly formed Office of Homeland Security. fice. Jv Hospital: ing envelopes restrictive markings, misspelled words, addressed to title only or incorrect title, badly typed or written, excessive postage, excessive tape or string, oily stains, discolorations or crystallizations on exterior of envelope, strange odor Due to the possibility that one or both of the incidents in Grand County might he prosecuted as either a hoax or as a ri al threat, officers said they were not releasing details dUiut the incidents to the pub. ic. They did sav that neither individual involved in the incidents was a public official and that tht re were no clues that linked the incidents to other anthrax scares Council member having the developer build and maintain a separate waste water treatment fat ility. If the Johnsons Up On Tbp development is not annexed into the county water and sewer system, the developer, Michael Liss, said it will not significantly affect the project. The reason why were proposing annexation into the district is because the state of Utah prefers to have fewer water and sewer systems operating in the state. But we can create our own system," Liss said. Were willing to work with the county either way Joette Langianese said the county should proceed cautiously with the annexation because the engineering report is not complete. I think its premature to go ahead with an annexation before we have all the information .before us," Langianese said Monday 89.7 & 1 06.1 fm ZL Liss must comply with design elements Continued from Page A1 dirt roads that just are two-trac- k wander around up on top." He said the roads are not maintained by the cfi.rty and, as Class D roads do not receive federal funding for maintenance. He said a public hearing is not required for Uie county to abandon the roads. Its been a policy n the past with the county that when people buy land from the state and deadend roads cross that property, the county typically does not claim them," Warner said Tuesday. This differs from vacating roads that are maintained and regularly used." Council Member A1 McLeod said that even though handling of the roads is covered in a section of the agreement, the county planning and zoning commission and the council will consider those roads separately as the development progresses. The whole road issue is a separate issue even though its included," McLeod said Tuesday. This agreement includes many things like that that will be worked out over time." But he said the council had discussed the road issue in detail, and it is likely the Class D roads will ultimately be abandoned. The main issue up there was the Class B road. We wanted to make sure that road remained a public county road," McLeod said. Council Chair Kimberly Schappert said last week that the development agreement meets all the special conditions and restric- tions the county discussed with Liss when he presented his preliminary plan for public hearing this spring. I think hes given us everything we wanted and more," Schappert said during the councils workshop last Wednesday. Its a solid agreement." Following Mondays meeting, Liss said he is pleased" with the councils decision to approve the agreement. The development agreement basically says we can go ahead with the project," Liss said.
