PIONEER TREKED TO
MESA Sc YEARS AGO

One of the most notable
sages of the covered wagon,
which furnished much of the
action and gripping interest
to the history of pioneer days
came to a happy finish at
Mesa So years ago this
month, when a band of Sc
Mormons ended the 1000
mile travel by 19 horse
drawn wagons, from Idaho
to the then desert of the Salt
River valley.
While the perspective OF
more than half a century
somewhat obscures memory
of the celebration held on
that day in Mesa, on its first
anniversary, Isaac Dana then

Der of Tourists visiting the

cate.
In one day last week nine

ceived and Immediately ans
wered there of these came

Others were from Nebraska,
Florida, Tennessee, Louis

Officials of tn auto asso-

quires for touring informa-
ton come in large volumes
i'm September, increasing as
the season progresses until
the peak is reached early in
December. This year, how
