a supply point for the n of the
cattle and horse ranches that abound
in that vicinity.
Nature has decreed that such was
not to be its permanent legacy. The
onward march of the stream of hui
manity toward the, west was destined
to come into the valley, and as a result
of their coming the town of Belfieid
threw off the lethargy that had envel-
oped it and proceeded to take it's prop
er place in the states galaxy of grow
ding cities.
The beginning of the growth of cities
as well as of countries, are directly
attributable to the efforts of one man;
one person must originate and recog-
nizing this J.. o. Mullaney of Belfield

were drawn and now 900 people claim
a home in the confines of the town.
This in six years is remarkable.
