               CELEBRATING PIUTE COUNTY'S 150TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. STEWART asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEWART. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate Piute County's 
150th birthday. Piute County was formed in January 1865, after a year 
of hard work by entrepreneurial Mormon pioneers.
  Press reported that in only 1 year the settlers had built more than 4 
miles of canals and more than 10 miles of roads, all to access the good 
farmland and

timber and other things they would need as they built this community. 
One reporter noted:

       The spirit of industry and perseverance in the people is 
     manifest. Their actions are kind and benevolent towards one 
     another, and they will make this a great place for future 
     generations.

  Mr. Speaker, the past 150 years have proven these words to be true. 
Today, the county is home to many hardworking residents, people who 
work in a uniquely beautiful rural setting. The county enjoys the 
world-famous Paiute ATV Trail, boating, fishing, hunting, and horseback 
riding.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent Piute County. They represent 
some of the best people our Nation has to offer, and I wish them much 
success as they celebrate their 150th anniversary.
