JUDGE CHAS, FOOTE.

During a lull in the Blackhawk
war; it became an important strategic
move to capture Sanpitch, the noted
Indian chief then cncamped with
his braves near NcphL The man to
undertake 1t was Captain Chas.
too,c adiutlnt Of the Nauvoo Lee
gion. The militia company was
ordered to assemble for target prac-
tice The Indians, unable to resist
so tempting spectacle, fled into
the fort. 1t was then an easy matter
to make them prisoners. Hostiliues
breaking out aircsh, the prisoners
made a bolt for liberty, and we're
shot down by the guard an ending

out OF whose hands they had passed
when taken to Sanpete.
On another occasion it became
necessary to capture and execute
four Indian murdcrers, who were

led his men out OF the fort at mid
night, and so adroit were his move

found themselves surrounded by a
circle OF guns and secured the cul-
prits.

EDWIN BOOTH. PIONEER.

To have been baptized by the
Prophet Joseph Smith is an honor,
that any Latter-day Saint would
prize above all boyhood memories.
Yet such is the memory that Elder
Edwin Booth can look back upon.
The event took place at Nauvoo in
1912, when he was nine years of
age.
Edwin Booth was born in Nam
chester, England, Sept u, 1888,
and came to Nauvoo with his par
ents in 1870.
He reached Salt Lake City in
1851. Two years later when the
Walker Indian war broke out, he
joined a company of seventy men
who were sent south to bring all
the loose cattle into the city, for
better protection. They went as
far south as Dixie and brought back
with them all the live stock, save
the teams and mich COWS. In 1886
he vert with others to bring in
Martins belated handcart COM
pany.
As young man, he was light,
why, daring almost to the point Of
recklessness, and able to endure
work and fatigue that would kill an
ordinary man.
He was chosen to ride with
message through the ranks of the
enemy during the Echo canyon war
at the imminent risk of his life, and
performed the almost incredible feat
of riding Ir3 miles in rs hours on a
mustang pony. He also took an
active part in the BlaclShawk war.
Since coming to Nephi in 1853,
he has engaged in the cattle and
sheep industry and was foremost in
organizing the Wool Growers as
sociation OF southern Utah. He has
also been active in civil affairs, hay
ing held the offices OF constable,
justice of the peace, city councillor
Of Nephi and selectman OF Juab
county.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1897-07-24

nished me statistics showing that
citizens of Nephi own 1900, 900
head of sheep. This industry alone
furnishes employment for 200 men
and boys, whose wages, combined
with the wool and mutton revenues,
is splendid source of wealth to the
city.
The growth Of the town was by
natural increase, until ISS9-9o, when
the boomers struck it, and gave it a
short period OF fictitious prosperity
during which it acquired the
name of Little Chicago. -
AT that time Nephi was
the shipping point for the entire
southern trade, and among other
things handled thousands OF head of
sheep and cattle and millions OF
pounds Of wool annually. Had the
conditions remained, the nickname
whould have retained an evenness
of emphasis. Now the stress is laid
on Little"
But do not imagine that the town
is not prosperous, or that it has not
a bright future. Few cities in the
State can boast such enduring re-
sources as Nephi has recently
opened. As these develop the
town cannot fail to take its place
among the notable cities of the West.
These resources lie up the Salt
Creek canyon, and | shall describe
them in the order of their approach.
PLASTER OF PARIS,
Hall mile east Of the city are To-
Gated what promises to become, per-
maps the greatest plaster of Paris
works in the world. The right lip
OF the canyon is vast mountain OF
absolutely pure gypsum-the largest
deposit in the world. 1t is 30 To-
Gated as to combine all the condi-
tons OF successful manufacture. %
The rock needs no mining or exca-
waiting, 1t is simply gigantic
quarry, hundreds OF feet high, and a
single blast loosens hundreds of tons.
C2) The factory is located on the
creek not more than a stones throw
away. CD Power for crushing the
stone and working the machinery is
furnished by the stream. Cd The
5. P, V. railroad passes by the
platforms of the factory. 60 Fuel
for calciming is very cheap,
Until these five conditions are du-
plicated elsewhere, it is safe to say

INTERNAL HISTORY.

In the meanwhile the town grew
and prospered. By the second win
ter log schoolhouse was erected,
and George Spencer was engaged as
teacher, Joseph L. Haywood was
President OF the stake and acted also
in the capacity of bishop Of the ward.
He was succeeded after three years,
by Jacob Bigler. Charles Bryan,
loci Grover, and George Teasdale
since acted successfully as ecclesias-
teal head of the stake; and in 1881,
when President Tcasdale was made
an Apostle, Elder VIM. PaHman was
chosen president and still holds the
position.
The civil administration of
the town began with George Brad
ley, who was appointed probate
Judge by the legislature in 1858.
Like most Mormon towns, Nephi
has had but little need to invoke the
arm of the law in her civil affairs.
Her citizens have been eminenjly
law-abiding and fully able, by pub
lie sentiment, to keep in check the
turbulent elements that came TO her
in later years, through ireighling,
mining, and stock-raisng avenues.
INDUSTRIES.
Aside from farming and kindred
agricultural pursuits, the chief indus
try has been stock-raislng. The
magnificent ranges on all sides
naturally led men into the cattle
business. Oflate years the sheep
industry has gone ahead here as
elsewhere. The secretary Of the
/ Wool.grower's Association has fur

pure, which is phenomenal 1t is
doubtful whether in the whole world
its parallel can be found. The best
analysis Of the famous Liverpool salt
(sce government reports is gS u
pure. With these facts before him,
the consumer will know what mean
ing to attach to brands marked
100 per cent. pure. II any brand
could be so marked it would be the
Nebo.
As a matter of fact, this is the only
salt made in the State which can be
successfully used in preserving butter
or in packing meats fact which
dairy men and butchers have not
been slow to discover, for the pro-
duct of this factory--about - tons a
day-goes as fast as it is made, and
it is sold as far east as Colorado and
as lar west as California.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1897-07-24
1t is also extensively used in the
smelling and huxing Of ores.
MORE SALT.

MORE SALT.
But the most beautiful freak of ma
ture in mineral wonders is that which
am now about to describe. Atth
very foot OF Nebo on the east side
energies a spring af water clear as
crystal, and beautiful enough to
make an angel thirsty, only to look
upon it. But should the angel stoop
to drink, his face would cease for a
moment to be angelic; or should he
lave his tabled wings in it, the sun in
five minutes would cover them with
an incrustation which might improve
even their snowy Wilderness. The
spring IS thirty-iive per cent pure
salt.
1t was discovered soon after the
settlement Of Nephi, and no doubt
gave the name to the canyon. For
many years it was nobody's prop
erty; any one desiring superior salt
came here and evaporated the brine,
But in 1898 a corporation Of Nephi
citizens was formed, under the name
of the Nebo Salt Manufacturing Co.,
to place the product on the market.
To do this successfully involved an
outlay Of thousands of dollars for
machinery; but the undertaking is
now success beyond all peradyen-

He began his breeding fem a
number years ago chiefly to supply
his own hocks, but the business
has grown till he now furnishes other
sheepmen with about 500 rams each
year. He is convinced that both
for mutton and wool the best breed
OF sheep for the western ra.~ e is the
French Merino. Ne keeps only the
purest and largest rams and ewes for
breeding purposes, and is careful
that his stock shall develop rather
than detcriorate. He challenges
comparison as to size and quality
with any breeding farm in the west.
The Utah bred ram is superior to
the California stock, for many rea-
so1s, chief among which is the tact
that he is acclimated and cost the
purchaser less by so per cent, Pier

bury, Goshen, Mr.. Parsons, Manti,

ings. The Juab and Beaver court
houses are monuments Of their me-
chanical skill.
One cannot go through their fac
tory and investigate their products
and methods without setting them
down as thoroughly representative
Of Il town that has had no failures,
in spite of the decentralization OF
silver.

GRACE BROTHERS.

This Is the name OF a firm already
well known throughout southern
Enthusiastically so as the writer
was convinced after visiting and
inspecting their mills and warehouses
These are located in the western part
OF the city near the depot
The Grace Brothers began bust
ness in 1886, with a plant worth only
$500, and this, be it said, was Dor
rowed capital, Today they employ
fifteen men in the Nephi mills alone,
and carry a stock Of building mater
ial worth thousands of dollars; in
addition to which, a prosperous
branch house was started in Manti
last year,
Such a record during a period OF
unusual business depression is suf-
hcient comment as to their general
business capacity; but as nothing is
so successful as success, SO nothing
can be more interesting than the his
tory Of success, and | venturcd to
ask what they regarded as the key
10 the growth Of their business.
Small profits and quick re-
turns has come to be the stercotyped
answer to that question: replied
the manager, land it comes very
nearly describing our business. We
saw long ago that a business Of this
kind could never become a success
unless prices were made to cores
pond with the stringcncy of the
times. But to sell close, we had to
buy in large quantities. We began
by shipping our lumber in carloads,
then our windows and doors, and
now we do not hesitate to order our
nails and hardware III the same
way"
THAT explains the buying, what
about the sclling?'
"Well, we soon discovered that
we needed the southern trade in
order TO keep up our shipments, SO
we "rustlcd" for business. We
have placed contracts as far south as
Kanab on the Sewer side, and in St.
George on the western side Of the
Pah Want range. We also have a
good trade with southeastern Ne
yada"
On the writer's expressing a Won
der that they could compete with
Salt Lake City, Mr.. Grace contin-
ucd:
"Not strange at all. Nephi is
the natural distributing point for the
southwestern trade, and ManG for
the southeastern. We buy in as
large quantities as any house in the
city and keep on hand a larger
stock than most OF them"
Besides, " he added, 1--WE have
an established reputation tor fair
dealing, and have worked hard to
maintain it. | may say we have
educated our customers to expect
low prices and honest goods, "
"You must have steered clear OF
bad debts?" | suggested.
"That brings me to another
phase Of our policy, We do not
rush out to close a bargain with a
doubtful customer, we select our
trade. So on our own part, we pay
cash down, rs rule, or discount
our bills. It's the cheapest plan by
odds, and there is no question about
lis being the safest.
The Grace brothers did not
cripple their business by expensive
bindings wise precaution Tor any
enterprise that must grow out OF
itself But they did not spare
themselves when it came to buying
the very latest and best labor-saving
machinery, OF which their mills have
a variety OF eighteen different kinds.
Besides doing custom work in
planning, ETC., they take general con-

that the Nephi Plaster and Manuiac-
turing Co. Coffee at NephD, will
have no competitors. Ii is perhaps
needless to say that it controls now
the plaster OF Paris trade not only of
the State but OF surrounding terri
tories and states, including CaliIor-
mia.
The process Of manufacture,
though simple, is extremely inter
esting. Alter being brought in on the
tram.car, the stone is put through
crushers which reduce it to the fine
ness OF flour To the touch it seems
dry as the provcrbial chall; dust, but
chemistry tells US that 20 per cent
OF it is water--a TACT impressed upon
us by the clouds OF steam which rise
from it few moments later when it
is put into the calciming pans and
boiled. " When thoroughly dried
it is ready for market.
This factory has capacity OF one
hundred tons per day The thing
needed next is a factory for making
ctayons. These at present are
shipped all the way from Sandusky,
Ohio.
