"who printed the first Paper in the west, planted the first fruit trees, Penetrated the western wiles, Printed the first paper in the Rocky Mountains. The Latter Day Saints done all these things. Most people thought that we should go to vancovers Island we were urged to go to Calafornia. had we have gone there we should not have gone staid but a short time we could not have staid there. the Emigration would have overwhelmed us, but we intend to Fill these mountains, we have been visiting these Southern Settlements I see no sorrow among the people, there is one article the saints want to take with them whareever they go in all places and that is contentment.
