M. CANNON TELLS
OF EARLY STIRRING TIMES

Angus NJ. Cannon of salt Lake tells
stories of the early history of the
country from st. George south to the
Colorado river that are as interesting
as the fiction written of the far west
ern plains. In view of the renewed agi-
tation to have the Arizona strip" at
tached to Utah, and the likelihood that
this action will be taken before the
statehood bill passes congress, the
"reminiscences of Mr.. Cannon become
doubly interesting. He was in the
south as early as 1850. He played a
prominent part in the founding of ST.
George; the establishment OF the cot
ton mission in Dixie during the rebel
lion; the establishment of the ware
house on the Colorado at Callville; the
journey of four days through the will
derness practically without food: and
the campaign against the Indians after
the murder of DR.. James NJ. Whitmore
and Robert Mcintyre. Mr.. Cannon's
story follows as given in his own
words:
We left Salt Lake November. 1851,
with 300 families for the purpose OF es-
tabIishing the cotton mission" in
Utah's Dixie. st. George was laid out
as a city by Erastus Snow. Jacob
Gates and myself acting as a commit
tee. The move was made al the dicta-
ton of President Brigham Young. We
secured charter for the new city that
winter. anG the 300 families settled
along the Santa Clara and the Rio
Virgin
THE main object was to raise cot
ton. The south had seeded from the
union and the country felt the need OF
cotton. Cotton was raised in Utah and
shipped to New York, where it sold as
high as 90c pound during the war The
close OF the war made the raising of
cotton I'm Utah Improbable. and it was
gradually discontinued.
But you wish TO know about the
Arizona strip and what was done I'm
the early days to develop the country
souHl of St. George and away to the
Colorado river. Well, in the fall of
1854 while the war was still raging,
Arson Call of Bountiful was sent by
President Young to locate and estab-
lish a warehouse on the Colorado river
at the highest point that could be
reached by steamers. The idea then
was TO bring supplies, merchandise
etc. into Utah by that route-~thtough
the Gulf of California, up the Colorad,
and overland TO Utah. The merchants

practically all our provisions with the
teamsters. told them to follow in our
tracks and started off
Light Repast of Flour.
When night overlook us no st.
George nor any other familiar object
was in sight. We had about half
pound of -four in the bottom of a cotton
sack. We built a fire, made a cake OF
the flour, divided it among the four of
us and started on, hoping to reach
home before it would be necessary TO
camp.
I'VE travelled till midnight, when we
came to a gulch running at right angles
to our course. 1t was from fifty 10 100
feet deep, cut into the lava rock, with
the sides so precipitous that crossing
was out of the question We were
forced to camp for the night. We built
a big fire on top Of the snow and lay
down with our feet TO the fire. We had
but one pair of blankets for the four Of
us and the wind was blowing keenly-
In the morning we found il lmpos-
sible to cross the gulch and decided 10
go around. We journeyed down toward
the Colorado and secured a crossing
about noon. At night we found our
selves back just opposite our starting
point of the morning, and not 200 yards
away. Hunger began to gnaw at our
insides in deadly earnest by this time
and things looked serious. Jacob
Hamlin pulled out of his pocket one of
his mittens in which he had about two
ounces of wheat, taken from horse feed
on leaving the wagon We ground this
between two stones-a primitive mill.
Three of the party held coats to keep
the wind from blowing our flour away
while the other one ground. Then We
made a fire. melted snow in pint cup
and made Cruel of the flour we had
made You may be sure it was thin
and there was but a fourth OF a pint
for the four men, butiit was all we had.
Plenty of Snow, But No Grub.
After allowing our horses to browse
for time on the stuff growing between
the rocks, we Travelled on till midnight
We found the snow ten inches deep
There was plenty of wood to be had
but it required much work to gather it.
and as L was the young man of the
party it fell to my lot to keep the fire
going. We made big fire here Their
we broke off cedar boughs, laid them or
the snow in front of the fire and lay
down under our one pair of blankets.
AT daylight we started again up tn
Grand gglch. We Travelled till 10 O'Clock
that day. In all our travels we did no
see SO much as a rabbdt--nothing in tn.

left st. George that fall and went
down as far as Hardyville, just above
Fort Mojave
We there entered into an arrange
ment TO have a steamboat come up the
Colorado freighted with goods, supplies
and tools to enable us TO carry out the
project of Building the warehouse. The
point selected for our warehouse was
twenty five miles west of where the Rio
Virgin empties into the Colorado. This
is in the present state of Nevada, but
all the conditions were similar to those
in the strip. Most of our wandering
was IN the strip We named the site
of our settlement Callville. after our
leader. / have not seen the spot in

After making our location on the
bank of the Colorado we undertook To
return. and here followed an experience
that will go with me to the grave We
thought that by crossing the country
we could. reach St George in "a day
Leaving the mouth of the Muddy and
crossing the Rio Virgin we entered a
wash leading east thinking to make
almost a bee line for St. George. We
enga ged three Piute Indians to act as
guides and pilot us through.
"Hamlin was familiar with much OF
the country south of ST. George. bui
not with the country so far to the west
We had gone but few miles wher
the Indians baked on us and refused Il
go any further They told us they die

I'VE had two teams and two team

decided to leave the teams and wagon;
behind and force our way through Will
