shore up the sides of the shallow
wells. Until the cottonwood was
used it was necessary in digging a
single six foot deep water hole TO
excavate crater 80 TO 40 feet in
diameter in order TO prevent the
sand from sliding back into the
hole. The cOttOnwoods also have
furnished light foot bridges across
the creeks. The loss of horses on

from scriptures:

that in the latter times some shall de-
part from the laith, giving heed to
seducing spirits and doctrines OF
devils. Refuse profane and old wives
fables, and exercise myself rather un-
