governors party between the ears cars from parowan carowan there was nothing unseemly about that at the time but suspicion was around a few later when mr day turned loose over those mountain roads at a forty mite mile in an hour clip lt it was simply a case of keep up or be and it never would have done to have let the men of the south enaw last just how cold we were the feet of the city dwellers the roads through that section are not just like asphalt pavements either down past the trail through the canyon and over the range followed by general fremont Freni ont in his early day explorations tore the procession precession the men from the city er asping everything solid about the car to keep their seats and mutely praying that mr days car might be stop ped by a punctured tire and that they might live to place their feet under the table at parowan carowan through buckhorn springs the old stage station the procession flashed every visitor looking at the road straight a head and ignoring the scenery completely wards warden pratt having to in his car the only of the outfit always brought broucht up the rear of the procession sion he has an aversion to dust and stoutly declined to be drawn into the nerve racking race his car bowled bawled along at a moderate gait much to the gratification of his passengers twenty nine miles out of beaver the warden pointed out the little town of paragonah Para gonah gorah a piute diute name meaning warm vater ater just juat why the was given a name meaning war warm water has not been figured out by the white hite men it was in this vicinity that the first colored cliffs were sighted steep sandstone cliffs rim na abruptly immediately behind the town and for that reason it I 1 is sometimes known locally as red cliff the water that courses down from the mountain sides is far from warm but bat it is as red as the chills and it may be for that reason that the indiana selected the name of war warm water just north of the hamlet va s wi an old indian burying ground from wh which ich he have a been taken numerous mim erous relics miles of aboriginal days skeletons found in curious point positions us have led to the belief in some quarters that an active volcano one time existed in that locality although the geological for matons give no evidence of it some of the skeletons found gopear to have been in an a upright point position and brushel owa by bf onne gome force from above on the lace of it the more probable theory is 13 that the indians wert were crushed by a slide from the walls wall of f the cliffs unless the bodies were buried in such positions in accord ance wn with ill some tribal custom ira in an incredibly short time after passing through paragonah Para gonah we arrived at parowan carowan Pa rowan

calamity overtook our party A telephone message awaited the arrival of the party an bouncing noun cing the death of an aunt of howard hays in an st louis mr hays has left immediately by stage for lund to board the train for the east after luncheon and after mr day had promised solemnly to take a moderate gait the party was taken on a tour of the valley to see the great development develop men t work in progress the residents of that thai section are not fortunate enough to have flowing wells but they arp are driving wells and purn Ding the water sater into reservoirs for irrigation purposes in this manner thousands thousand of ofa acres cret of land beret heretofore afore classed as and are being reclaimed on this tour attorney general barnes barnea qualified as a farmer on cas as fine a
