When the houses were up and the roofs on; there were no shingles, the logs were rough and the roof was straight willows laid close together and covered with grass and dirt; the windows were covered with factory, for very few had window glass and very few had flows wily the All ! ground." Often at night one and another would build campfires, a crowd would gather and we would listen to Brother Smith sing about the Derby Ram and a great many comic songs. Also Robert Fishbum and his wife Pricilla, George and Alice Done and Nathan Smith who lived on the Northwest comer of the fort. If we were in hard circumstances, we were happy and contented. Mrs. Sant discribed some of their household furnishings and the work done by the women of the community. ...Our furniture was of the very crudest kind. Most of us had what was called Mormon bedsteads, which was a hole bored in the wall at the head, another for the foot and two sticks supported by one leg and boards or sticks laid across to put the bed on. Some had tables to eat from, others had boxes. I had a dry goods box laid on its side, which answered fw a cupboard too. Sister Done had two holes bored in the wall and a board laid across, and many a happy hour we spent with one another. - Now I want to tell you about the cloth making, for the nearest store was at Salt Lake City. Most of the people had a few sheep and the men sheared them in the spring. Then we washed it by the If When the spinding was done and the yam washed we had to color it. There were no diamond dyes in those days so we gathered the flower of rabbit bush for yellow, tag Alden bark for black, and had to send to Salt Lake City for madder root to color rod and indingo to color blue." Sister Peter Sorenson, Hannah Toolson and a sister Betsey Anderson did most of the weaving except a few who had looms and did their own. After the cloth was made, we had to make it up ourselves as there were no dressmakers in those days. There were many who could spin and many who could not. The misses Jane, Lor-en- a and Charlotte Downs did a great deal of the spinning for those who could not spin. Harriet, Lucy and Julia Merrill also did a of it." good deal We had to make our own soap out of the ashes we had in the fireplaces. We also made our own candies if we had tallow, for electric lights were not even thought of in those days. We all had to carry our own water from the Big Creek as there was no water works at that time either. Thanks to Sister Margaret Sant. ..we can appreciate a little more what pioneer days in Smithfield were like. As we read with interest her account of those days, most of us will be more appreciative of the water from our taps, the cloth we can purchase at the stores, the soap we use, and the lights we get with a touch of a switch. is the gettaway spot.

My husband loses his when he hits a car. Most railroaders know it's only a matter of time, because it happens to all of them sooner or later. My husband's time came yesterday. He is sick about it. but there was no way he could have avoided that accident. Two people died because the driver ignored the flashing signals and the whistles, took the gamble and lost. I hope every person who reads your column will ask himself if he has ever done the same thing. If he has, I hope it was the last time. It's so easy to misjudge the speed of a train in the distance.

It was July 8, 1914 that Mrs. Sant read her paper ai the home of Rebecca Pitcher. Today we will quote onl a small portion of what shf gave that day. The people were campec around in different places until the Indian trouble or July 23, 1860. 1 have told yot about the Indian trouble o! that time; when Ira Merrill was killed and his brothei wounded as well as Samuel Cousins." Wc After this incident were all camped close together; four rows of wagons. We did our cooking, such as we had, by campfires outside of the wagons. We camped in this way for over two weeks and the Indians did not come back. However, the men all took turns guarding the camp both day and night. President Young sent word for all the settlers to make Forts to protect themselves. The Fort line was then laid out and all the people moved their, tents or wagons to where they were going to build and great care had to be taken for fear of the Indians coming upon them unawares. When the men went to the canyons they went in a company, all armed, and it was the same when they went to the Held to look after their crops. When the men got the logs from the Canyon and were ready to build, the brethren would help one another.. ..first putting up one house and then another. Some of the men who were good hands at building log houses were kept very busy. Some of them were: E. R. Miles, Sr., A. P.
