On Aug. 1, 1912, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported, “To the credit of the El Pasonans and others active in the relief work, it must be said that everything possible is being done for the refugees.”

The displaced colonists were encamped temporarily in makeshift quarters at a former lumber yard. Later, the U.S. government offered to transport the refugees to any section of the country at no cost, Brother Turley said. Thus, before winter, they were “scattered like wheat from the Rio Grande on the south to Canada on the north . . .”
