Scraps of History
THE SANTA FE TRAIL
BY JOSEPH FISH


neers that marked out the trails
through the valleys and the most
accessible passes in the noun
tains. The Indians followed the
buffalo, and the trappers, hunt
ers and traders, with a few
trinkets and beads and their
whiskey jug, followed the In
dians, and thus these buffalo
trails soon became the national
highways to the west. The
trunk line to the southwest was
up the Arkansas and across to
Santa Fe, which was soon named
the Santa Fe Trail. From this
there were several branch lines
that took off in different direc-
tions. One of these trails led
north from Santa Fe up the
Arkansas some distance, cross
ing over to South Park and then
bearing to the west, reached
Green River and then went north
past Browns Hole and on to
Fort Hall; thence down the
Snake River valley and crossing
the Blue mountains reached the
Columbia near Walla Waila,
Washington.
Over this trail the Indians at
an early date carried on trade
with the Inhabitants of New
Mexico. In 1866 Lewis and
Clark found among the Indians,
near the mouth of the Snake
river, Spanish coins and also
mules with Spanish brands on,
which gave evidence that this
trail had been used as a line of
traffic long before the American
hunter had penetrated these
western wilds.
There was branch of this
trail that turned off to the west
near Grand river and reached
the Pacific coast via Las Vegas.
There was another that left it
near Pueblo, going north to
Laramie. This in an early was
a favorite route for the war par
ties of the northern Indians.
when they raided on the south
ern tribes.
From Santa Fe the main trail
led south down the Rio Grande.
This was the trail followed by
the pioneer Spaniards when they
colonized New Mexico. This
was a trunk line to be followed
by the railroad in a short time.
The first Americans to enter
Arizona were Sylvester Pattie,
his son, James O., and a few
others. This party made their
way down the Gila river, and
this pioneer route was later fol-
lowed by General Kearney and
his army to the coast, and by
Col. Cooke with the Mormon
battalion. They, however, bore
more to the south, marking out
a road that was later followed
by emgirants and the Butterfeld
stage line, and later by the
Southern Pacific R. R.
Another route followed was
that west from Santa Fe, via
the Little Colorado river. Pass
ing near the Needles, it crossed
the California desert to the
coast. Ewing Young, Kit Car
son, his brother, Moses, and
others were the pioneers of this
route, crossing in 1929 or 1880.
They were followed later by the
government explorers, and later
by the iron horse"
We thus see that the fur hunt
ers were the pioneers in mark
ing out the roads that the emf
grants found to their advantage
to follow. These old trails are
indeed historic highways and
were followed by thousands that
later made their way to the
west. And these adventurous
pioneers of the west were the
builders of a new empire. Thev

One of these animals was killed

could get along without them, but
those saloons are under the watchful
care of the officers of the law. Our
experience has taught us that when
there is a decrease in the use of
liquor IL is under the moral influence
which ministers Of the gospel, so
called, exercise. This is their mis-.
sion. That is the mission Of Chris.
tian societies, young mems Christian
associations. That is legitimately the
field in which Mutual Improvement
associations and Sunday School teach
ers should occupy their time and at
tention. Gentlemen of this honorable
body, II we could secure prohibition
in this far and new state which we
are laying foundation for, how
gladly ! would vote for 1t, but ex.
perience and observation leads me to
this position, however, I may be re-
garded by my friends, shall vote
for the rejection OF this clause and
leave 1t with the legislatures and
with the cities.
One moment upon the proposition
contained, even II it should be pass
ed. Why should We prohibit the
manufacture Of these stimulants? The
law will permit liquor to come into
this new state, as ! understand It..
just as 1t came into Logan City when
we were trying to prohibit. Why, It
used to come in l believe from my
friend from Ogden.
Mr.. Kiesel-My trade increased
during that time!
Mr.. Thatcher-Yes, it came there
as mineral water.
! Mr.. Evans tWeber)-You would
like to have prohibition, would you
not?
Mr.. Kiesel-I have no objection on
that account.
Mr.. Thatcher-It came into Logan
as mineral water. and to citizens who
had great pride in their name II
would sometimes come incased in
dry goods and croskery cases, but at
all events, gentlemen, l do not be.
lieve. whatever else We do, that we
should attempt to curtai the business
In this new state of manufacturing
beer, wine or alcohol. The solution
' OF the question Of sugar factory may
devolve upon that point. II we pro
hibit at all, let us prohibit the use
but not the manufacture. In Utah, We
will rival California in our business
and the beet progress may. lift vi
our sugar factories out OF their pres
ent condition of bondage and of debt
And so, gentlemen, | say / shall vote
aga INST II. l can readily understand
how people in the country can be in
duced to vote for prohibition. The
petitioner comes along, won't yol
sign this petition and won't you vot.
for the insertion of this part culaI
clause?" why, no, | would rathe
not, | do not believe in 1t " What
you Christian; you a so called saint
believe in drunkenness in preference,
to prohibit ,on?" How few have tn,
moral courage to refuse to sign o
vote for such a proposition. ] thinl
this has nothing to do with the Con

Statement on
Prohibition

The Honorable Moses Thatcher on
prohibition in Constitutional Conven.
ton assembled in Salt Lake City,
March, 1895.
"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of
the committee, this is a matter that
demands careful attention, as l view
It, of this honorable body. Petitions
have come here signed by prominent
men from various parts of the terri
tory, and while 1t may appear
waste of time to discuss this subject
l do not think it can be passed by
without giving it the attention 1t de-
serves. l listened with profound in
terest to the remarks made this fore
noon by my friend from st. George,
and my emotional feelings were NOV.
ed at the beautiful pictures touching,
in their nature, which he drew, and
call your attention to the fact as
stated by profound writer's upon this
subject, that the people of England
and the United States expend enough
money each year for intoxicating liq-
uors to buy their bread and meat.
They spend more money for intoxi-
cants than would clothe them, and
certainly there is no evil with which
civilized people have to meet and
contend greater than the drinking
habit. Every building on the shores
OF Great Britain, might be wiped out
by single calamity, every rail Of
her roads might be torn up and In
an hour her merchant marine m ght
be blotted from the seas and her
war vessels sunk to the bottom OF
the ocean, and yet II her people were
to be temperate and cease to expend
their hard earnings for this demon
in disguise. they could replace them
with the money saved in five years
so that the use of liquor in that
country and this has proved great
err scourge than war and famine and
pestilence combined. And when We
bring 1t down to the home, many
sad pictures could be drawn that
come near to our hearts here In
Utah.
