FOURTH GRADE The First Capitol of Utah President Millard Fillmore was the president of the United States when Fillmore became the capitol r of Utah. Anson Call went down ! and laid out plans for the city of! Fillmore on October 29, 1851. j Anson Call and some other men chose the place for the state house. The state house was never com- j pleted. Fillmore was chosen be-, cause it was the nearest to the center of Utah. Fillmore is 150 1 miles south of Salt Lake. They because more people were in the i north and the officers lived in Salt Lake. Fillmore is now the county i seat of Millard county. Only one , complete session was held in Fill-1 more. It was during 1855 and i 1S56. The state house is one of i the oldest buildings that is left in! good condition in Fillmore. Dean Baker. I Cove Fort Late in 1847 Brigiham Yong sent exploring parties from Salt Lake city to explore the Rocky mountains to Pioche, later in 1866 they found out that the best location loca-tion to build was by Cove creek. . The men who went to build were Nicholas Paul. William Paul, W. C. Harrison, J. D. Smith and John Trimble. When they started to build the fort they used volcanic rock and plastered it with lime mortar. They measured -100 square feet, That was the area of the fort. The j walls were 78 feet high, the gate on the east was 14 by 14 feet and the west gate was 8 bp 4 feet. In I the center of the. fort was a well. On the north and south there are six houses. Today the fort still remains and is the only one in preservation. Alfred H. Our Study I We have finished the study of j Cove Fort. It is 26 miles from Beaver..

We gave reports on Fillmore the j 12th of May. I will tell you a litte bit about it. Well, Fillmore was the capital of Utah because it was in the middle of the state. ! In a little while Salt Lake got soj big that they said Salt Lake would be the capital of Utah. Our ball team played the sixth grade in a game of Softball. The! score was 4 to 2 in favor of the ' sixth grade. Ross Cottrell. SIXTH GRADE j Camels j The people m Africa and Asia j use the camel to carry them and I their packs across the desert. They call them "the ships of the desert." They can go without water , for several days because of water j cells in the stomach in which they : carry extra water. They can also , stand the extremes of heat and cold of the desert. Their nostrils . are slit like and can shut in case j of a sand storm. Camels also have j double eyelids. Some camels havel one hump, some have two. The latter kind are called Bactrian camels. The camel is sometimes I used to pull a plow and the milkj . . . is also used. The hide and hair is used and the flesh is also good to eat. Walter Griffiths. Llamas The llamas of South. America j belong to the camel family. They live in the high Andes therefore they are very sure footed. They are smaller than camels. It holds i:s neck straight up and sometimes it is six feet from the ground to ! the top of the head. The hair or wool is longer than that of the camel because they live in colder : regions. When the guanaco (a ; wild camel) is captured it runs at ; the person who is trying to catch ! him and lets off an evil smelling ' saliva into his face. Bill Kellv. |
