It was completed in time to irrigate the crops and there was a nice lot of grain raised that year. The people paid Daniel Williams two hundred bushels of wheat for his work. In the winter of 1864-65 Jesse W. Fox came up and surveyed the town. One lot in the center of town was selected to build a meetinghouse on. In the winter of 1868, the people quarried rock and hauled it down into town, and the next summer they built a rock meetinghouse, twenty-four by forty feet. This was to answer for a schoolhouse also. The two springs east of North Morgan, known in early days as the Bennett Springs, have been very valuable to the people of Morgan City. About 1864 Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us Together Martin Heiner and Daniel Robison each obtained a right from the court to a continuous stream of water for domestic purposes from the North Spring. The rest of the water from that spring was used to water the town's lots. Each lot of one acre had a right to the whole stream for eight hours, then the next man took it. It took eight days and fourteen hours to water all the lots. In 1869 the Union Pacific Railroad obtained a right to a portion of the East Spring. They built a reservoir and piped the water to their depot. We are grateful to the early pioneers who provided us with a great heritage in this beautiful valley we call home. ©©■ Hardscrabble Canyon At one time there were nine sawmills up Hardscrabble Canyon. Hundreds of thousands of feet of lumber were produced in Hardscrabble Canyon. The logs were brought off the side of the mountain with ox teams to the mills. Some were run by steam and some by water power. There were also two shingle mills. The logs were chopped down with an ax or felled with a two man ax. The first saw mill was brought over the mountains with pack horses by the Porter brothers. They set their saw mills up at the mouth of Beaver Canyon. Some of the lumber was hauled over the mountain into Bountiful. About 1870 an Eastern man, William Farrell, brought a steam mill into the Weber Valley; also ten expert mill men and a large number of oxen. They camped in Richville that spring. His mill was set up at the fork in the head of Hardscrabble and named Farrel after him. The cutting and hauling of the timber furnished employment for most of the men in Porterville and Richville. After using this mill for about a year, Mr. Farrell sold it and brought in a larger one, a sixty- inch saw, with which he was able to cut a great deal more lumber. Hundreds of thousands of feet of lumber were produced there. His camp supplies he brought directly from the East. Fruits and finer provisions were brought here by him at one time. He had a lumber yard at Richville (where the Stanley Rose property is now) which was the largest
