Every man feel instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. Mintl WSS . piOIlCCr first Settlement The first settlement by white men in Sanpete Valley was made in 1849 in Manti. Only Salt Lake City, Ogden and Fort Utah were settled earlier. The party of Sanpete pioneers consisted of 50 families who came to the valley from Salt Lake City by way of Salt Creek Canyon, east of Nephi. Their first camp was on what is now Temple Hill. The first winter was one of hardship with scant food and clothing and hostile Indians making life difficult. Shelters, hastily constructed late in the fall, were soon found to be unable to withstand the heavy snow. The settlers were forced to use their wagon boxes and make excavations under the ledges to protect themselves from the severe cold. That first year 500-70- 0 Indians were camped a mile away. The first winter more than half of the settlers 250 cattle froze to death and the sick and starving pioneers used them for food. Men sent to Salt Lake for supplies were stranded by deep snow in Salt Creek Canyon, so the pioneers and the Indians were sharing their meager supplies and made do with what they had. With the warmth of the sun, hundreds of rattlesnakes appeared in the dug outs and under the ledges where the pioneers slept and ate. There is no record of any deaths, however, from snake bites and the reptiles were eventually cleared from the area. Isaac Morley, who was in charge of the settlement, chose a. Book of Mormon name, Manti, for the settlement which was incorporated on Feb. 6, 1851. That same year saw a sawmill and a grist mill come into existence. By 1852, a strong fort was constructed and it was enlarged during the Walker War when 150 men were quartered there. Manti is the county seat of Sanpete. The beautiful old stone courthouse stands on the citys Main Street. in present-da- y Businesses Manti include manufacture of clothing and sporting goods, the usual stores and related businesses and raising of poultry and livestock. $139.95 Call Toll Free Volume 104 CALL: 462-314- 400 South Main 7 SALT LAKE CIT- Y- The new is "Activity exercise catch-phraAccumulation".
