, Aug. 26, 1867. MORMONS IN UTAH 285 form the Missouri, were soon occupied by industrious graziers and husbandmen. The lands were planted with wheat. Sheep and cattle fed over ground which a year or two earlier had been trod only by the foot of the savage. Better beef and mutton, travellers from the East said, they had never eaten. The streams were filled with fish; wild game abounded. There was timber for building purposes and coal was at hand for fuel. 1 It was supposed already in 1867 that t...he people were self-sup porting, and that, like the pioneers in Colorado, they had be come independent of the East in the matter of a food supply. 2 In the summer of 1865 it was said that the territory, though but three years had elapsed since the first white settlements were made within its borders, contained 50, 000 inhabitants. 3 Behind the mountains in an arid, alkaline plain lay the set tlements formed by the Latter Day Saints. Their colony was a semi-socialistic and proprietary, ecclesiastical commonwealth.
