a MEMORABLE SCENE
The ceremonies that formally chris
tened the memorable ground as Pho
neer park viii occupy a prominent page
in Utah's history. The scene was both
patriotic and inspiring On Il platform
shaded from the suns rays by towering
trees and Ranked by massive stretches
of the stars and stripes were seated
several pioneers and public officials.
Throughout the large audience sat
many of the early settlers, their fami-
lies and representative citizens. A
speech reminiscent OF olden times was
made by the oldest living pioneer. the
venerable President Woodruff. and the
dedicatory prayer was offered by an
other of the pioneers, President George

the development of the countrys re-
sources and the splendid achievements
in the building of homes, cities and
towns were attributable to Gods will.
The Almighty had rewarded the energy
of the pioneers, and his mercies had
brought peace, plenty and prosperity
to the people of the state For the eS-
Establishment and successful work of the
schools and colleges and the houses of
worship, thanks were returned to the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
The blessings of God were invoked to
prolong the life and beneficent works
of the pioneers. In commencing the
worthy impulse of the city council for
ordaining the ground for public park,
he invoked divine aid to speed the day
when the park would be made beauti-
full by the hand of man and become q
resting spot for the weary, even as it
had been used by the pioneers when it
was part of the barren waste.
A quartette. composed of Thomas G..
Gill. Robert II. Siddoway, Joseph Poll
and Victor Christopherson, sang

the patriotic impulses of the large au-
dience.

1.-The first camp was formed on Wash
ington square. where now stands our
splendid city and county building.
Shortly afterward a camp was formed
on City creek, but on Aug. 1, 1S47. a
plan was formed to build a stockade
as a precautionary measure against In
dian depredations. The UteS ard the
Shoshones were not friendly to each
other, and there was danger of HOSTILE
ties from these rowing bands; so logs
were hauled from the mountains.
adobes were made of sun-dried clay,
and on the 10th day of August, 1S47,
the foundations were laid Of the first
houses erected in Salt Lake valley.
The first dwellings, were made of logs,
with poles for rafters. willows for roofs
and earth for shingles. Window glass
was not to be obtained The houses
extended along the east line of the
square, beginning at the northeast cor
ner. This is the spot that was enclosed
for that stockade, and here the settlers
congregated, making their homes with

brated Old Fort established.

Mr.. A. Patterson, Of the Candaleria

this forenoon at IL O'Clock. Mr.. Pat
terson was shipping out some prunes
from the q. F..S p. warehouse and in
working, came under the wrong eleya-
tor and had it not been for the eleva-
tor man, Mr.. Powers, who heard him
in time to check the elevator so IL
stopped before the full force Of 1t
struck Mr.. Patterson would surely
have been killed.
The blow was hard enough however,
to crush him to the floor and crushed
him so severely that he was taken out
unconcious. He was examined and
no bones were found broken, but he is
quite badly shattered and sore. All
in all Mr.. Patterson considers himself
lucky man. Had it not been for the
prompt work of the man attending
the elevator he would have uDdoubt-
edly been crushed as fiat as pancake.

scared and Mr.. Patterson recovered
but was quite sick man for on hour
