[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 18th I went in company with the Twelve & others to the Mo river on A piece of table land to lay out the city or place for the encampment. We abandoned the prairie ridges where we first laid out the place for the encampment in consequence of the Block winds. We held a Council with the H Council. They spoke there feelings. Were divided to a tie about there place of location. President Young spoke his feelings about it & called for a vote to have the lot located on the table land near the Mo river & it was A universal vote. We examined the ground. It was A vary windy day. 10 mile.
