ly interested in this matter, and if
anyone who owns a foot of land in
this valley has an iota of influence
with any member Of congress, and
particularly with the rivers and har-

time in exerting that influence for
the purpose OF securing the incorpor-

der Grant acted AS master of cerenin-
MES, and felictous addresses We're made
by President Smith, Hyrum NJ Smith,

planned why more of Mr.. Thomas
music and hymns were not contained
in the Psalmody saying that when that
book was complied Mr.. Thomas was
absent on mission in Great Britain,
and some OF his works We're not OBJ
tainable.
President Smith congra tuated Prof..
Thomas on the graceful manner in
which he held his years. and wished
him many happy and prosperous re-
turns of the day. as IN fact did all the
company present.
The history of Prof. Thomas and tho
history OF music in the Church run
parallel. The field of accomplishment
In vocal and instrumental music has
been covered IN his labors. He was the
first leader of the Salt Lake Theatcr
orchestra when it opened i'll the year
1862. On April 10, 1862, Prof. Thomas
was elected to fill the position of mu-
steal director Of the Tabernacle choir,
which he filed with marked ability I'M
til he was called to st. George and
Southern Utah in 1865 to teach vocal
Emusic. He remained in the south until
1871, when President Brigham Young
called him back TO Salt Lake to resume
charge of the theater orchestra.
Prof. Thomas enjoys considerable dis
fiction as Il composer, as we'll az a
musician and director. Upon the Oc-
casion Of the laying OF the capstonc OF
the temple, the Onion Cleo club, under
his direction, sang All ode, All Hail

Lot her take a MaruoIa Tablet (Inade
in accordance with the famous prescrip-
