PRESIDENT E. II. SNOW
in his opening remarks greeted the
assembled saints and welcomed them
to the conference. Said he was very
much gratified with the attendance
and explained that the middle of June
is an inopportune time for holding
conference, for the majority of the
men are away at the drive which in
variably comes at this time of the
year.
Pres. Snow reported that during the
past quarter the Stake Presidency
have visited all the wards of this
stake In Utah. The roads in places
have been In almost impossible condi-
tion, and the rivers and creeks have
been 80 high that they could not be
crossed with any degree OF safety.
therefore their visit to the settleme nts
down the rivers was necessarily post
poned.
The saints In the st. George Stake
OF Zion are in a good spiritual con
dition. There are some who oppose
the ecclesiastical authorities, but
generally the people uphold and sup
port the presiding officers. The
temporal conditions of the people are
good, and owing to the unprece
dented rains of the early spring the
prospects OF feed for the cattle and an
abundance of farm products, Is as
sured.

tions reported them all in good con
dition and fiourishing, that all quor-
ums of the priesthood we're full and
in good working order.
