Show Peace Pipe tree is visible reminder Norbest ofpioneers and indians struggles is Norbest, Inc., the worlds largest marketing turkey independent cooperative, has a new member of the the Peoples Republic of China. BY BRUCE JENNINGS Even a century ago, it was a large tree, large enough, according to the legend, to shade the party the white men and the red men that had gathered under its boughs to pass the pipe and to parley. Black Hawk took his turn at the pipe and so did Canute Peterson, who would later become the first president of the Sanpete Stake. Those hostilities had opened in and burnings and killings and pitched battles between the territorial militia and Indians who feared the encroachment of the white settlers on their tribal lands. 196S with raids And Oct. 17, 1865, saw one of the more tragic episodes in that frontier warfare seven dead men, in the fields women and children The pipe passed slowly around the circle of braves and settlers, each west of Ephraim. The parley under the juniper tree, beside the creek, below the main road, was held some years after the October massacre in the fields. Perhaps Black Hawk, the Indian Chief, had sensed that the Indian cause was a doomed cause, perhaps in his heart he knew that his time was waning. He came to Ephraim seeking peace. Sarah Ann Peterson, Canute Petersons wife, prepared the meal and the white men and the red men together broke bread before moving across the rutted road to the juniper tree beside the stream, to smoke the pipe and to parley. And that is why to this day the juniper is called the peace pipe Directors of the company recently elected the communist Chinese government as a member, paving the way for the design and construction of a turkey processing operation in the of mainland China Tianjin. The China Sky Lake Turkey Company, Ltd. will operate the facility with technical and marketing support from Norbest. The operation Pag planned to include breeding, feed mill hatching, growing, operation, and processing of whole birds and other related turkey products. The turkey products produced by the plants will be marketed throughout the Pacific Rim nations by Norbest. that when production of turkeys and turkey products Is heavily subsidized by foreign governments, American producers, even a cooperative like Norbest, cannot compete. Domestic turkey is a relatively unknown product in China and is not eaten. commonly Despite the unfamiliarily of most people with the product, the Chinese believe turkey production may be one of the answers to efficiently producing food for a large population. The European turkey industry has penetrated the Pacific Rim market, prompting Chinas decision to explore the turkey production from industry. Representatives Tianjin were here in Sevier and Sanpete counties last year to view the turkey production setup and study methods of operation that might be adapted to the Orient.

Celebration And in the 100 years that have followed, time has claimed many of the descendants of the main participants, the Indian chief and the white churchman, in the parley that ended the bloodshed. m&iTrn r f - 'fcac - f'f Pip Traa in Pioneer Park has deep historical significance. But the tree, even more massive, but gnarled and gray and scarred now, still stands. A grass fire almost claimed it a few years ago the flames climbing high up its trunk. But the topmost boughs are still 7:30 p.m. Miss green, as if the tree is too proud to admit defeat, as if it has pledged its life to the cause of peace. The peace pipe tree will play a new role now, for it has become the centerpiece of Ephraims new Pioneer Memorial Park. The ground around it was cleared last week, a protective border installed around its base, a monument with a plaque bearing its legend moved into place. There will be other parleys about the tree now and the legend will be passed on to other generations far beyond the time of an Indian Chief named Black Hawk, who made war and sought peace, and a white settler named Canute Peterson, who came to the Sanpete Valley at the behest of Brigham Young and likewise wanted the bloodshed to end.
