The shearing crews came and immediately began repair of vast shearing corrals, holding pens, conveyer belts and woolsack holding stands. The code shack workers and cooks came to prepare the long abandoned cook shack and eating shelter for hundreds of rowdy, hungry men. The roustabouts, the fleece-tiersheepherders, ranchers, and wool buyers; along with fine horses, well trained dogs, ling, bleating sheep, all tended to make this a noisy, busy place, teaming with excitement and hard work that lasted only about eight weeks. Suddenly it was the first of June and they were gone. It seemed as though a sudden storm had come and swept them dll away, leaving only the empty corrals, sheds, and the lonely railroad section house, where we by lint - Bernard Sanfelice A few week ago you ran a tory and picture of Wild hones. It brought back old memories to me. In 1921, Ioka, , my Frank, decided he needed some extra money to help pay off our place and buy a few. stock. He applied for ana was accepted for a job as section foreman on the railroad. We had to move into a section house at Jerico. We leased our place in Ioka to Med Benson and nis family for 1 year so they could live in our home and take care of our place. Now for my s, s, memory. The beautiful, wild stallion was silhouetted against the brightening sky as he stood on a high rocky point of the ridge, overlooking the valley floor. Except for Ids long mane and tail, waving in the wind, he looked like an ebony statue shining in the rising sun. He was standing guard, watching for some unseen enemy, as his band of mares and colts cautiously edged their way down the steep brash covered draw, which would eventually flatten out toward the water hole that had been created near the edge of the small valley by the over flow of piped spring water into the old abandoned watering troughs. There was something besides water that lured these wild, careful creatures to the valley floor. It was salt. This was sheep country. . The largest shearing corrals in the West were located here, what was appropriately named Jerico, which means "out of the way place". It is located between Tintic and Idndal. My Father was the section boss, stationed here, on the Union Pacific Railroad during the early 1920s. For about ten months of the this part of Utahs Escalante the loneliest, most desolate place in the country to have to live and work. But near "the end of March it became a center of bustling activity, when lived. Sheep must have salt The herders had placed large blocks of stock salt near the and watering places. When the sheep had been driven away to their summer range, many salt blocks had been left behind. After the band of Wild horses had satisfied their thirst they sought out the blocks of salt nearest the water. If there was no cause for alarm, and all was quiet and still as the mares and colts neared the water, the sleek stallion would suddenly disappear from his look-ou-t point and soon he would cautiously join them. After the stallion had slaked his thirst and licked sparingly cm d the chunk of salt, he began to get nervous. A small ' dust swirl or the movement of some tiny desert creature would start him prancing back and forth, and with his shrill trumpeting, he would drive his band back into the hills, where brushy, they would vanish as if they had been swallowed by a giant green carpet, leaving only little puffs of desert earth, kicked up Dy the sledges of untamed hoofs. bed-groun- . . tongue-groove- cedar-covere- business Every should nave a succession plan to provide a smooth transition of ownership upon the owners death or retirement Each plan will be different, depending on the owners death or retirement Each plan will be different, depending on the owners death or retirement Each plan will be different, depending on the owners wishes and the particular circumstances of the business.
