his finger towards the stupendous peaks
! of the we'll known Cottonwood district
and the fertile portions which nestled
close to them.
SMOOT DROVE FIRST WAGON.
1t had been Mr.. Smoot's custom
whenever the 10 were travelling to drive
the first team. and so upon this MEM
orable occasion. Mr. Smoot drove tho
first wagon on Its way through what Is
now Sugar House BY winding
about hills and points OF vantage. tho
little party eventually found its way
through what Is now the Sugar House
district, and all along the course Capt
Turnbow shouted his instructions as
to the road to be followed to MI Smool'
who was driving the first wagon. They
followed the trail which to this day Is
used as a road and is known far and
wide as the County road.
The first night the little party
campcd in Cottonwood near the noun
tains. but eventually some of them re-
turned TO reinspcct the district they
had followed on account OF the pe1u-
ties OF the scenery and the fertilltS
they had encountered The men who
composed that original party consisted
of Samuel Turnbow. W. c. a Smoot,
Hayden Church. Benjamin Franklin
Stewart. james Stewart and James
Stratton.
FIRST SUGAR FACTORY.
About the year 1853 Brigham Young
called upon A. O. Smoot who was at
that time in Cottonwood to come with
his family to Sugar House for the pur-
pose of raising sugar beets which wer"
TO be utilized in n sugar factory which
was to be constructed at thnt point
President Brigham Young sent to
Franco for machinery which was the
very latest and best that could be pro-
duced at thnt time. and which cost
100000 Another 100000 or approx
imately that figure. was spent In haul
ing the heavy machinery thus pro-
cured over the old Pioneer trail to tho
Sugar House factory A sugar fac-
tory was erected at great expense
and the machinery installed and every
thing made ready for the making OF
sugar, Mr.. A. o. Smoot being put tn
Superintendent of construction and also
superintendent of the factory itself, ,

of course, created considerable inter-
est among the early settlers and many
proceeded Immediately TO raise sugar
beets.
There had been living at Sugar
House before the erection of the fac
tory about half a dozen families IN
GLIDING those of Ira Bldredge. Norman
Bliss, Mr.. Beebe. blacksmith, James
Lewis and Jonathan Packard. some OF
whom had farms. In fact the whole |
district in 1853 was devoted to farming. |
There were only one or two families |
between the little settlement and Salt |

Several things caused this failure.
Those who lived here in the early
times remember full well that the year
1854 was known as grasshopper year.
the Rocky Mountain locust being such
a pest at that time, that practically
everything green in the valley was de-
stroyed This made what few beets
that were raised OF an inferior quality
and in fact discouraged many wh1
had originally planted seed with the
intention of selling the beets to the
factory. The sugar factory in fact
worked only for a short time in the
winter of 1886. All the machinery
