I( would be far better if such persons would build sheds for their poor, naii-siarveii, snivering siock, which stand out during the worst of storms. However, there are many people in this section w ho are trying to do right and are bringing up good, respectable families. Last Sunday we had a blizzard which is the worst experienced in these parts for fifteen years. The snow was piled up in places from live to eight feet deep. Good health prevails among the people in general. They arc looking look-ing forward to a bountiful harvest next season, because of the vast amount of snow drifted in the canyons can-yons above, which will send forth nn abundance of water for irrigating irriga-ting purposes. The settlers in Park Valley are divided into two districts. One is in the east and the other in the west end of the valley. Each district has a neat brick school house. Then! is plenty of good land; abundance (if wood and ample water in most seasons. There is an organized branch of the church here, and Sunday meetings, meet-ings, Sunday schools, M. I. A. and other meetings are held regularly. There are also lots of dances, which are held regulaily unless blizzards prevail. Hay is becoming a scarce article, because of the long, cold winter. It looks like some are already beginning begin-ning to count the s pears bofo re hauling out to their stock. Judging from the loads of pelts coming into Kelton every day I am inclined to think that sheepmen sheep-men are counting their sheep pells very fast. NiMRon. Park Valley, Utah, March ISth. |
