Wearing Out the Welcome.
Goodby, winter! Here's your hat.
Hope you'il soon have use for that
Through
With you?
You bet your bOotsi
You are not the kind that suits.
We can take
A little Joke,
But we ache
To see you broke.
Though enamored Of your style,
We can spare you for awhile.
So, old man. be on your way.
Wen excuse you any day.
Snow is healthy? Very well.
That will do perhaps to tell.
II we cannot get enough
At the pole the chilly stuff
We will seek, but here, I guess,
We could live on somewhat less.
Little children. six or eight.
Anxiously for snow may wait,
But the man of sixty years
Wants his winter in arrears.
What's the fun of frozen toes.
Chilly ears and painted nose,
Buffeting an arctic breeze
In a snowdrift to the knees?
As an expert I can say
It does not appear as play
To the man who has for his
Just a touch Of rheumatic.
Boosting snowdrifts from the path
AS a work engenders wrath.
Buying coal to keep the flame
AS a factor in the game
Does not to man appeal
II he must finance the deal.
Though We bid it to depart,
Tears won't melt its chilly heart.
We will have to stick 1t out
With a courage grim, but stout.
But opinions that we hold
May be how and boldly told.
And we hope they bear a sting
1t is just mean old thing!

he would stand guard that night.
In addition to THESE requirements
for several summers the people would
get together large trains and men
would be called 20 drive the teams to
the Missouri river for emierants,
which would take them about six
months time, as well as increasing
the burdens of those that remained at
home, for IN those days work was the
circulating medium
During all this time the people had
been contending with the floods that
would come down the rivers. which
would generally wash out their dams
and destroy their canals
The main canal, Virgin ditch. dur.
ing the SIX years it had been used had
cost the stockholders the sum of $sl. sc
per acre to repair, and the canals on
the Clara creek the sum of $29 per
acre. SO the people decided to abandon
the Virgen ditch, canal tha. the
people had preached and sung about
during the time it had been in use.
The first paper published in ST.
George was issned January %, 1868,
called The Dixie Times, edited and pub
lished by J. E. Johnson
During the period covered by the
above mentioned events, other settle
ments were established along the riv-
ers. Those on the Virgin are Spring
dale, Shonesburg. Rockville, Grafton
and Toquerville on Ask creek and
Leeds and Harrisburg on Quail creek.

the Bloomington precinct, on the river
below the junction Of the two. The
settlers in all of these settlements
went through similar hardships.
Among the first organizations ef.

was perfected in June, 1860, with 10.

club YVES the means of bringing into

George, the first mails had been
brought in by pony express, and the
first postoffice waN established in the
fall of 1862.
1t must. not be thought that because
Dixie was land of almost continual
sunshine that the early lives OF the
pioneers were lives of sunshine, for
the hardships endured by these people
can hardly be realized by those who
know of these trlbulations only as they
have been told by others. The settlers
were from $50 to 500 miles from the
base of supplies, with only trails in
stead of roads to haul them over. and
on account Nof the rough roads and
long hauls the people were compelled
to pay the HIGHEST price for everything
they purchased, and ms sample it may

quired hours of search, as the grass was
very scarce Owing to their isolation
the people did not have the best of
food, for we find that cane seed bread
and pgweed green's were among the
things that were sought after; the
weather was hot, flies thick, with no
shade TO get under, nor screens to
cover the doors and windows, and the
water was poor.

should do about letting them go The
whites told them not to sell them The
chief said that they would take them,
and In reply TO this the whites told
them to fight for their children. The
chief asked them if they would help
them fight and were told that they
would, Upon receiving the assurance
that the whites would help them fight
for their children, the old chief told
Walker and San Pitch TO go back
thai they would not allow the whites to
children, and if they should attempt TO
steal the children, then they would
fight for them. This was the last of
buying or stealing children among the
Indians in these parts
That fall, 1854, the whites built log
house, and soon afterwards Jacob Ham
bin took sick and was very low, so
that 1t was necessary that Hardy should
go to Parowan. eighty miles distant,
for some tea. sugar and other little
things that they thought would help
their comrade, ssi while he was in
Parowan. Hardy became acquainted
inquiries about the Dixie country, and
after learning that it was a very warm
country, she said that she was conf
dent that cotton would grow there, and
she gave Hardy about quart of cotton
seed that she had brought from the
southern states which the man planted
the next spring, whcih was the begin
ming of the growing of cotton in Dixie
During the winter, while Hamblin
was sick. it was necessary that some of
the men sit up with him, to administer

to save room; the Indians seeing this
concluded the men intended to burn
Hamblin, which created quite a feeling
of anxiety among them, as they al
liked Humblin, and were greatly re-
lieved to learn that the whites had no
such. thoughts.
The whites and Indians all worked

down the creek in sufficient quantities
to irrigate all their land, and Hamblin
says that the strangest thing about 1T
was that the water was clear
That year the crops were extra good,
and the Indians were delighted, but
they could not understand how the rain
came at that time of the year, as they
said they had never seen such a thing
before. The cotton seed that Hardy OBJ
tanned in Parowan grew and produced a
good crop of cotton. which the men had
spun and woven into cloth during the
fall of 1865
Soon after settlements began to be
established Washington was located in
1857 and Virgin in 1858, In October,
1861, large company Of men were
called by the authorities of the Nor
mon. church to sell out their posses.
sions in Salt Lake City and move into
the Dixie country, and later the men
who had been called began to move
south. The first wagons to arrive in
the St George valley were those of
son, who arrived November %, 1861
Erastus Snow coming in on December
3, and on the 4th of December the
first public meeting was held, at which
three committees were appointed, first
to arrange for the employment of
teachers and the opening of a day
school; second, to explore for frewood
and to locate road to the same, and
the third to locate a canal and TO pre-
pare for the construction Of the same.
The first camp was made a little east
of where the St. George temple now
stands, and it was here TINT the first
census was taken, which was on Jan
uary 2, 1862, which showed popula.
tion of males 37s and Of females $40.
On January Is, 1862, the first city
plat was surveyed by Israel WINS,
father Of Apostle A. w. WINS, and on
the 23rd the people began to move on
their city lots.
On March 80, 1862, the city Of st.
George was organized and the corner
stone Of the first public building (St
George hall) was laid, and on the 25th
the city was divided into wards, with

seven or eight for boys.
The Indians were in council for TWO
days, the whites not being allowed to
be present, but some of the Indians
kept them well posted as to what was
going on. At last the old chief came
TO the whites and said that the IN

proceeded to meet the Indians, There
were about 100 warriors besides women
and children. the women and children
all being out of sight. The Indians
were in a sulky mood, and it was quite
easy to see that they did not take
kindly to the intrusion of the whites.
Hardy seeing this. began TO look for
the women and children, and succeeded
in finding some of the latter, all of
whom kept away from him, but by

In rrnning away. they went to where

saw thc glass, and could see their own
faces in it, they became so excited
that they could not help coming out,
were engaged In conversation, as far
as they could and a treaty of peace
was entered into before they retired
for the night.
The next day the indians conducted
the whites to the Santa Clara. or where
that town now stands, going behind
the present site of St. George Upon
arriving there, they went up the creek
to n point above the present site of
Sarta Clara, where it was agreed TO

and the water began to rise. The In
diaDs watched very closely, and wnen
they saw the water begin to 20 INTO
the canals and that it was equally di
vided. the shout that went up could he
heard for miles around. 1t was a great
day for the Indians. for it was the be.
ginning Of farming among them
When the idea was advanced to the
Indians that the water could be taken
out of the creek they said that when it
became hot the water all dried up, so
that there would be no water to water
the crop, but Hamblin told them that
the Lord would send them rain, whic h
seemed TO satisfy the Indians, who be.
gan to plant their corn, squash and
melons. but when the summer months
came, the creek dried up, and the crops
were in danger of drying up; then II
was that the Indians came 70 Hamblin
and demanded that his God send them
rain, in fulfilment of his (Hamblin 's)
promises.
It was easy to be seen that the In
dinns relied fully upon the word of
Hamblin. and expected that every word
he said to them was true. and they had
no idea of any modification of the
promises, so it was up TO the white to
produce the rain or no telling what the
results would be. 1t was certainly a
critical moment for the whites, and the
only means Of having it rain was to
petition their God, which was done.
The whites of themselves were power
less, and the Indians demanded the full
pound of flesh. or the rain that had
been promised them. Hambln secluded
himself and offered his prayers to God,
and notwithstanding it was hot. clear
day, before he ceased his petitions he
saw small cloud appear in the sky, and
he came down to the Indians and told
them that it would soon rain. and that
they would get all the water they
wanted. Soon it began to rain and con
tinued TO rain until the water came
