IL Is said that one of the ambitions of
the late f, H. Hartman was to con-
struct line through southern Utah
TO the Grand Canyon, so that that mar
vel OF natures majesty might be
reached from the north approach as
we'll as from the south.
The center of the southern country
through which the road would pass is
81 George. the county seat of WASH
lngton county. The town now has n
population of about 1000 people. The
country intervening between the main
line OF the Salt Lake Route and the
extreme southern end OF the state has
been settled for nearly 90 years. and
many thriving towns and villages have
sprung up and prospered ST. George
was established by the colonists from
the north. The pioneer In the settle
ment of Washington county was John
D. Lee, who in tho year 1852 located
ranch on Ash creek. which afterward
became Fort Harmony, 20 miles north
of the Rio virgen. Fort Harmony
became the county seat, but in 1857
was succeeded in that position by the
town of Washington.
BIRTH OF ST. GEORGE
In 1861 several hundred families left
Salt Lake City under the direction of
Brigham Young to go south and
strengthen the colonlsts already In that
country and to raise cotton These
families were headed by George A.
Smith, Erastus Snow and Horace s.
Eldredge. They We're a sturdy band,
picked from the most substantial set
tiers of Salt Lake, Davis, Weber,
Tooele, Sanpete. Juab. Millard and
Beaver counties. They located the city
of st, George, which was named after
George A. Smith. who was called tho
father Of the southern settlements
The following year more reinforcements
were sent into the country and the first
crop of cotton, aggregating 100000
pounds. was gathered. Joseph Horne of
Salt Lake City was in charge OF the
cotton raising, and although mills were
constructed and the manufacture of
time, the distance from a market final
profitable. and tho people turned their
attention to tilling the soil and kindred
activities
In January. 1871. President Young
proposed that temple be built at st.
George. and the proposition met with
unanimous approval. The dedication
OF the temple block took place on Nov.
of the same year, the first shovelful
of earth being removed by Brigham
Young. The same afternoon the ex-
cavation for the foundation of the tenn
pie commenced The first stone in the
foundation was laid on March 10, 1873.
and on Jan. l. 1877, the building was

SPLENDID RESOURCES. e,
Some idea of the nature of the coun-
try and of Its almost limitless resources
is given by Jacob Gates. who moved to
st. George with his fathers family and
spent many years of his life in that
section THE resources of the st.
George country are many and varied"
said Mr.. Gates. 1T is the best fruit
raising country in the world The
crops there are about a month earlier
than they are here, and all kinds OF
semi-tropical fruits and products arc
raised In profusion. The Dixie grapes
are conceded to be the best in the
world beating the California product,
as the saying goes. a city block The
California climate le humid, while the
dry and hot climate of Dixie ripens
the grapes without interruption, giving
them a flavor and a sweetness which is
uneXcellcd
And while the climate is hot in sum-
mer. the mercury going sometimes as
high as 115 degrees, the fact that 1t is
dry takes away the disagreeable fea-
ture of humid heat and the people
there do not notice the warmth any
more than the people of this latitude
notice the heat here. Grape culture has
not been exploited to anything near like
its possibilities on account of the lack
of transportation facilities by which to
get the product TO market.
"DiXie fruit Is celebrated wherever it
is known II the country had a rail-
road thousands of acres of orchards
would spring up and deliver for trans
portatlon hundreds OF cars of the finest
grapes, peaches. almonds, melons. and
other products where only small
amounts are shipped out at present
There Is much land on both sides of the
Vlrgen river susceptible to intense cul-
tivation, simply awaiting the advent OF
the railroad and the hand of the agri-
culturist.
IDEAL WINTER WEATHER..
THE st. George district is an ideal
place, too. for winter residences In

Ing their money there for wintor homes,
the wealthy class would find it moro
pleasant to spend their winters IN

EARLY CROPS.
Dixie has n climate and soil that
favor the growth OF vegetables early
enough to put them on the Salt Lake
and other northern markets In COM

California and the competition would
not last long, for the superior flavor
and quality of the Dixie product would

fruit growing states. Dixie could fur

by putting railroad facilities within

The long. dry and warm summers
and the short. sunny winters make

thousands. from less favored places

A GriYnly Humorous Situation.

| Switzerland is another place where
capital punishment is falling into dis
use, though the crime of murder con-
tinues to be committed.
A few months ago a farmer named
Muff murdered four persons in a village
near Lucerne. His motive was robbery,
and to conceal his crime he set fire to
the house in which it was committed.
Nevertheless. he was apprehended and
pleading guilty, was sentenced to death.
But it is twelve years since capital pun
ishment has been administered in Switzer-
land. In that country, as in France,
official executions are by guillotine. The
old Lucerne guillotine has long been out
of commission and preserved in the town
museum. After a fortnight's hunt a

There is talk of importing an expert

who when sentence was pronounced upon
him grimly observed that he would take
no appeal, as he had always believed
in capital punishment. 1t is said that

Curing With Music.

London has an institution for the care
of paralyzed children who have been
passed on as incurable by the general
hospitals.
At the institution extensive use is
made of music to aid in affecting cures.
application. AS will be noted from the
following account, the music might be
said to be applied internally:
The first interesting case shown was that
of a boy of six, whose right arm had been
totally paralyzed following an attack or
zeal in beating it in time so as to become a
professional drummer when he grows up,
have been his salvation. What massage ana
electrical treatment could not do, constant
working at his drumming has accomplished,
and now the paralyzed arm is almost as use
full as the other Another patient was a
child of three, who six months ago was
totally paralyzed in both legs. Her treat
on the edge of q low wooden chair, to an
inspiring tune played on the piano. The
secret of the treatment is to make the little
patients build up the strength of the para
iyzed muscles and nerves by encouraging
them to use their limbs in the way each in
dividual likes best. The music keeps their
interest up and prevents them from becom-
ing tired and bored
that it seems like a pleasant remedy,
containing nothing bitter to the taste or
deleterious to the digestion. Is it habit
forming experience to listen to music in
the hope of being benefited in health?
Well, the habit will not be demoralizing,
like the use of morphine, or maddening,
like that of cocaine. Sometimes by re-
sorting to surgery where there has been
inaccurate diagnosis, users of the knife
have left patients handicapped for life.
The music cure would seem to be free
from all possibility of harm if the pro-
gramme selections be made with judg-
ment.
