Golden Rule What promises to be a prosperous summer Juan County for that matter, with a pick-u- p in employment and influx of workers on the Pure Oil Co. pipeline. Workers and families from several states are making their way to our fair city and a good many have already arrived. Since these people will make up a sizeable portion of our economy for the next few months and since they" are temporarily displaced from their own homes and communities it is an opportune time for the community and county to practice at the Golden Rule and make these people feel at home and welcome. The amount of effort required to go out of ones way a little to be friendly is amazingly minute and the rewards for such service are usually returned many times over. While these people are in Monticello, lets make it not only our home but theirs also.

I have given it a lot of valuable time since then, and am still on the job. When I was in Salt Lake City a few years ago, and a man asked me where I was from, I told him I was from San Juan County, "San he mused, Juan County Is that In Utah? Now he is Just one of the many men who havent heard enough sounds from San Juan to know it is one of the legitimate and active divisions of Utah, and by the way the biggest, and from our point of view, the most important county. The fact of the matter is, the company who was called here 83 years ago to form a county government, and establish peace and law and order In this sprawling wilderness, was too much occupied for 43 years in getting the job done to do any crowing about it, and being exhausted with the weight of the task, they lay down and died without bothering to call anybodys attention to what they had accomplished. As a consequence, the people who had heard Inadvertantly that there Is such a place as San Juan County, have taken for granted that it is a place away off In the sticks where a few sleepy hillbillies eke out a living by chasing mossback steers the cedars. It is not 50 very long ago that an educated woman in Salt Lake City objected to a little girl being adopted by a family in San Juan, because, as she insisted, "It is no place for a child to be raised. Well Ive been here long enough, and have been so so much in action on this firing-linsince 1879, that I know something mighty interesting and vital to the territory and then the State of Utah has been coming to pass every year since the action began. I have known the physical and moral battles which have been fought here, and I have known and loved the gallant men and women whose resting places are marked by stones in cemeteries In Bluff and Monticello and B landing. They are gone. I am the last living man who came through In 1880, and I was a baby in my mothers arms. I maintain without fear of successful contradiction that the people of San Juan County, since 1879, have made to Utah a contribution as Important and as deserving of recognition as the contribution of any county in the state. We came here, starting in 1879, to put an end to the raiding and bloodshed which had been menacing Southern Utah for 30 years. Ours was to win the a friendship of these two hostile tribes, and to prevent a horde of white outlaws from making this a nesting place for criminals from all over the west We were to be a lightning rod to catch and absorb the fire which otherwise would reach to the west side of the e e peace-missio- n shock-absorber- SHOW YOU HOW GREAT SERVICE STILL IS!
