>Construction workers excavating for the museum's new parking unexpectedly
>dug into the 111-year-old brick foundation of Park Opera House. Below the
>opera house layer, in the soot of the blacksmith shop, searchers
>discovered horseshoes, wagon springs, and old bottles, said Bailey, who
>gathered the items for the museum's collection. The blacksmith's shop was
>probably one of the first businesses in Grand Junction, which was founded
>in 1882.

>The State Board on Geographic and Historic Names approved the change by a
>5-1 vote Thursday. Richard Pinkerton, resigned before the meeting in
>protest. Board Chairman Tim Norton did not attend the meeting. Board
>member Lloyd Clark, a local historian and former Phoenix Gazette copy
>editor, was the only dissenting vote. He suggested the other board
>members, all state employees representing different agencies, were afraid
>of Napolitano. "We are acting in haste," Clark said. "I am not a state
>employee so I have no fear. You are voting because your jobs depend on
>it." The U.S. Board of Geographic Names must approve any naming or
>renaming of any geographic area, but states and local governments are not
>bound by their decision, said Karen Wood, a spokeswoman with the U.S.
>Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia.

>The Owens Valley has a long tradition of irrigation. A form of irrigation
>before European contact existed among the Paiutes, which anthropologist
>Julian Steward calls irrigation without agriculture. Rancher-farmer John
>Shepherd (1833-1908) used irrigation at Manzanar. In 1864, he moved to
>what became known as Shepherd's Creek on the current Manzanar site. With
>Indian help, he irrigated his land.
