THE .Di, fILLD.,


THERE lies In the southern portion
OF this city q district known Us the
Blg Field. The rising generation and
many Of tho new arrivals ARE probably
unaoquaintcd with tho primitive his
tory Of this district.
Iu the Frontier Guardian Of Feb. z,
1910, published at Kan.sville (now
Council Bluns), Iowa, appears an epis'
tic from President Brigham Young TO
Elders Hyde, Smith aud Benson. and
all the Saints scattered abroad. This
cpistle narrates tho progress and pros
poets Of tho settlers In tho Salt Lake
Valley. one paragraph In Il reads ~
follows:
"At our suggestion tho brethren have
entered Into u combination To enclose u
Zig Field for farming purposes, and al
ready there has boon sos applications for

and put away hardness that may occur
by any other method Of dividing tho
land, we have PROPOSED that I, shall all DO
done by ballot, or casting lots as In tho
days OF old, II was Judged expediont
among Israel"
This, In short, Is tho primitive his.
tory Of the Big Field OF Salt Lake City.
There were no corner lots for the
speculator In this arrangement. Every.
thing about II bespoke order, equlty
and equality. There are some OF the
original occupiers still on these lots,
but the vast majority Of them have
changed hands many times since the
nrst drawing took place.
The Epistle Is dated from Great Salt
Lake City, Oct. 0, isis, and signed
Brigham Young, President Of the
Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter.day
Saints; Thomas Bullock, clerk.
