[Brigham Young Discourse] President Brigham Young called a council of the captains of tens, fifties, and hundreds this morning and reproved them for their want of order and unwise course in sending men out to buy corn and bidding against each other and raising the price of corn. That before Bishop Miller came here corn was a drug at 15 cents per bushel and now it was 20 and 25 cents and sometimes more. That he felt to withdraw fellowship from the Bishop, that he was going against council. -- Chariton River, Iowa [On the Mormon Frontier, the Diaries of Hosea Stout. Juanita Brooks, ed. Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1964. 1:142]
