Agriculture is now profession and
is gaining recognition as such. The
landowner is the true aristocrat; and
the intelligent farmer and breeder, such
as we have in this locality, is the. high
est type of the landowner. Given a
fertile soil, like that of this section, a
salubrious climate like ours, progress
sive farm population like that of this
part of the country and general dis
semination of knowledge of farm meth
DDS. and prosperity can hardly fail to
result. For this purpose there is moth
ing better than higher grade farm
journal like the Iowa Homestead, pub
lished at Des Moines, Iowa. which has
attained circulation of $4,000 among
the best farmers of the corn belt. The
Homestead is the Oldest and best Of the
farm papers, being fifty years old. 1t is
edited by farmers who reside on and
operate their own farms, and numbers
among its contributors practically every
expert in agriculture and live stock in
the west. The REPORTER takes pleasure
in extending the Homesteads circuk.-
ton. If you want good farm paper
come to this office, and we will order
the Homestead for you at very moder-.
ate cost to you.

space in your columns for the following
as an instance as to what the American
Bible Society is, doing for the Indians
of our country.
A. D. BARR. Secretary.
Charles Town and v. Aux. So.
The Rev. !. Roberts. of the Shoshone
Mission of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, contributes the following most
interesting account Of the Arapahoe
Indians. among whom he is working:
The grant of two hundred and fifty
copies Of the Arapahoe Gospel of St.
Luke. recently published by the Ameri-
can Bible Society. is just received. It
will be most valuable help to the mis-
sion. We are sincerely grateful for it.
Michael White Hawk. who made the
translation. claims the truths of God can
be dimly traced even in the heather re-
ligion of his forefathers. The Arapahoes
are indeed very remarkable tribe of
Indians. They call themselves Hen
aunauanauau the chosen people. They
worship God under the name of "Hejav-
aneautbau = the Stranger on High.
Their religion. past history. and traditions
have been preserved. handed down oral
~. by secret order of elders among
them called "Ienajehenane, who are
initiated with fasting and prayer. Their
tradition of the Creator and of the Del
uge is something similar to the Bible
story. They believe in the resurrection
of the body at the last day, and the life
everlasting in "Our Home" Many of
their sacrifcial ceremonies and sacred
rites resemble those of the Israelltes.
They have definite tradition that they
came to this new world by the way of
the northwest. crossing on the. ice; that
they left the old world to escape oppres-
sion that their country was taken. they
themselves cruelty treated, and their
children slain by people they call the
"Neauthau strangers, the aliens.
This is the name by which they also des-
ignate the whites. Their antipathy to
the white man has been until recent
years very strong. and some OF them have
prejudice against Christianity as being
the white mans religion, but this feeling
is rapidly passing away, for they are a
thoughtful and religious people. 1t will
be blessing to them to have the gospel
preached to them in their own tongue.
as it is. by clergymanof their own race.
