about 200 inhabitants, and is situated
upon the Kanab creek, which runs di-
rectly south until it empties into the
Colorado river. Although Kanab is a
frontier settlement, it is progressive
and quite modern in it's buildings. 1t

grapes, melons, etc, grow in profusion.
The arabic land of the county is very
