FRANKLIN. Oneida Co., Idaho,
August 10th, 1897.
TO the Editor:
Having noticed ia the Saturday
issue OF the DEsEREl NEWS for the
24th OF July brief sketch ana pol
traits Of the first choir leaders In Salt
Lake City, l believe that sn omission
has been made OF the names OF two
aud especially OF one, namely, Father
John Parry. 1t also stated that the
hrst choir WAS organized in 1851 and
that Stephen II. Goddard was the first
leader. Now, know that a choir was
organized In the early part OF 1861 and
Father John Parry was appointed
choir leader, with /. Il. Nash as his
assistant. Stephen II. Goddard sang
at that time in the choir, and Brother
James Smithies played the bass fiidlr.
Whether Brother Goddard led the
choir previous to the year 1850. do
not know. think that there are few
OF the old standards who recollect
Brother Parry and Brother Nash nj
that time.
L can tell you of little circumstance
that transpired at the time We had in
our choir "A good many Welsh breth.
rsn, and slme could not read English
very well, but while singing they
would hum aud ha the tune, especl-
ally the bass singers. We held our
meetings then OF ten in the morning,
and in the afternoon. After singing
the closing hymn one morning, before
the bepeoiction, Brother Brigham
arose and ssid, "Bfethrsn and sisters,
II you Will bring your hymn books
with you this afternoon, BrotherlParry
OF Brother Nash eau give out the
hymn. They are going to sing, and
hey can hum, hum, hs ha, no no, ne
much az they pltnse and we VIII read
the hymn" This was In the old
BawIee.
write you this to show that there
whe choir organized in 1850, and
Father John Parry was the leader.
do not know OF any who are living
now who were mem bers OF the choir
at that time except Brother Stephe u
Goddard and myself, but II there are
any livl g they can testify that what
! have wiUte is true. | believe Presi.
dent Cannon anu President Smith
RENE mber, and good may Of the
old settlers remember also. l have not
written this with the intention Of fl nd.
iDg iault, but to show that al omis.

Parry's name. ISAAC b. NASH.

Tho Park City Record takes the fol-
lowing hopeful view in an editorial
devoted to the closing down of the

now enveioped In tho deepest dark
ness che has ever known; but the

to the contrary; no assumed declara-
ton OF knowledge will convince US

vince us that the owners OF the proper.

Oh with the intrlcacies OF the worlds

that has been taken by them within
the past few deys, and they have de-
mined upon new deal--a complete
revolution In the methods of manage
ment OF the property amt an entire
change in the system OF It's develop

believe that hereafter the Ontario Will
be run solely In the interests OF the

thsmselves-a condition which, N
enacted by every mining company in
the camp, would greatly inufe TO the
benefit OF the entire community.
