never been absent from his thoughts.
Recently he came to the conclusion
that his sixteen years of labor had
ended in success. With his own hands
he had built a parachute of oiled can

have reached a stage in their development

backward into the past to discover some
of the causes which have imoelled their
advancement and to render honor TO
whom honor IS due.
So il is with us today after fifty years
of evolution. during which the people of
Utah have come up out of trial and pri-
walton into the open and generous bounty
