need not enumerate here, but Bishop Lunt's own expenence is illustrative of these difficulties--he has built five houses since he went there in 1851, the frequent change of location [of the city] and other causes requinng him to do so. But, it is hoped that these obstacles to progression are now overcome and that a career of prospenty has been entered upon by n the people there, which will result i their city becoming the equal in beauty and wealth of any other city in the Temtory which possesses no greater facilities. The fdure to manufacture iron discouraged very many who once lived in Cedar, and they lee in various directions. Other causes also prompted many to leave, and the majority of those who remained were persons who had no teams to take them away and were, perforce, compeiled by their poverty to stay. They had to tum their attention to agriculture, the attempt to manufachire iron having previously occupied al1 their time. Being so destitute of stock, their progress was necessarily slow, but they persevered and now they begin to reap the reward of their diligence. There are about seventy families in the settlement and they own a flock of two thousand head of sheep, said by good judges to be one of the very best in the Temtory; they have a good supply also of horned stock which they herd on the cooperative principle. They have opened the road up the kanyon to the timber which is very good, and hope soon to be able to get a steam sawmill which will furnish lumber, a material that has been wanted in the past. They have increased the area of their f h g land by fencing, and they now have more and better land under cultivation than they have ever had. The averageyield of wheat to the acre for the entire settlement has greatly increased within the past ten years.
