Show Bucks Lose To Pirates off the Record This Is a place, this Four Corners, where you can still walk up and shake hands with building differently now.. .now that you know one man made so many of the bricks by hand, and another gave all of his crop money one year to keep it going.' Then, on the next Tuesday, you meet a man like L. V. Shutt, homesteader. Some of the high country between the Blues and the San Juans still looks the same as it did when he came, long before this century turned 21. And you can get an idea how tough the clearing of it would be, how long before you got enough off it to eat, let alone sell. Because a store was needed, he started one, around whats called Northdale. He had to build two more because they kept moving the road around. And when the last one burned in 53, he figured that was enough. He still had the land he cleared, and the wife he loved, and thats the main thing. He still does today, and so does George Hurst, and the four of them live with history, as well as with us. They ARE history, in fact.. .and we are lucky to be so close. history. Weve done that twice now in less than a week, and I dont know anyplace else in this country except maybe where you can do it. First time was at the Blanding Chamber of Commerce banquet last Thursday night, where George Hurst, Jr. told what it was like for A-la- ska the Mormon pioneers who settled the area in the late nineteenth and early twentieth cen- turies. He spoke of Walter Lyman, and Albert R. Lyman, and Leland Redd, and many others who created a community out of literally everything they had to give. The words become pictures as you listen to a man who lived the times he talks about. You see him drawing two tubs of frogs from the town water main (hand-maof wood), de sorrow with him as he prepares for burial friends and loved ones, celebrate with him on borrowed party light, cadged the from sawmills generator.
