(picture of the cabin)

Don Sparks is restoring the log cabin on the Wilbern Millican Ranch
west of Edith.  The cabin was once lived in by the Rev. Reed in the
late 1800s.  The logs were hauled from Grubbs Canyon by wagons and
teams.  The huge cedar log in front of the cabin was used for a 
salt trough for livestock.  A trench was cut down the middle of the
log to hold the salt.  The fresno leaning against the cabin was
used to build tanks in the early days.  Teams of mules or horses
pulled the immplement.
