father and Uncle Lehi were in the cattle business together, and they remained close friends all Father's life. Each had a high regard for the other's opinion in business matters, as well as a close personal regard for earh other. At one time, they owned the largest cattle company this section has ever known. Their headquarters were in the old Pipe Spring; and, as the saying goes, their cattle "ran on a thousand hills". One of the worst droughts this country has ever known wiped out their complete herd, with the exception of the steers. These they were forced to sell, together with the ranches, to take care of their obligations. In spite of the difficulty and reverses which they encountered in this discouraging operation of seeing their herds wiped out in a year, it seemed to draw them closer together, giving each a closer understanding and confidence in each other, building a friendship that was of lifelong duration. The Bulloch family and the Jones family have been very close over the years, and I feel that each family has a high regard for the other. As a Chamber of Commerce, we advertise Cedar City; and invite people to colne here to enjoy with us the fine things we have to offer. We are justly proud of our schools and churches, our business institiutions, and our community facilities - together with our community spirit. I think it fitting at this time to review the backround which h a made these opportunities available. This city has been made through the cooperative effort of men and women blessed with foresight, ambition and the belief in their own ideals - coupled with the willingness to work and sacrifice. Uncle Lehi was a typical example of these early settlers. Born hut three years after the settlement of Cedar City, his part in the building and establishment of the community could not help but be great. The first people who settled here did not have the advantages that we enjoy so proudly today. T h e newcomers here say they like Cedar City hecause of its community spirit, because when something needs doing, the people cooperate and work together to see that it is accomplished. If we rould go back to the history of the settlement of the town we would find this same spirit of cooperation characterized from the very first. People facing danger from Indians and persecution built forts for protection. They fared danger from starvation and the elements, so they built irrigation ditches to water their land. They made their living from crnde farming and from the raising of cattle, and sheep, so they rode the range together and tended their flocks together, knowing that through cooperative effort they had a greater chance of survival. Even their first mercantile enterprise was cooperative. When they needed recreation they danced and sang together and organized their choirs and dance orchestras and theatrical companies.Their children needed education, so they built their own schools by their own labor, and their churches for religious training. 240
