Joseph Plains a Fine Country

+ County Commissioner w. M. Schiller
returned Saturday from a visit Of sew
eral days on Joseph Plains, across Sal
mon river, and informs us that that
country is coming to the front in great
shape and few residents of the prairie
have any idea of what good country
they have over between the two rivers.
Mr.. Schiller says that land there is
is practically all taken and some nice
farm homes are to be seen. The soil
is a deep black loan, fully as rich as
the soil on Camas Prairie, and will
produce crops of any kind in abund-
ance.
The completion Of the Grave Creek
road will provide the residents Of the
plains country with fine outlet from
Salmon river and will no doubt induce
them to soon build a road down on the
other side to connect with it. When
this is done supplies can be hauled
into that country over an easy grade
and will bring them into close touch
with the railroad and outside markets.
At present the farmers across the river
feed all of their grain to hogs and cat
tie and drive their stock to market,
most of it being brought to this place.

taking their stand for Christ and the
church was 269. OF this number 40
had already united with one or the
other of these two churches before the
evangelist left town.
One of the strong features about
Evangelist Taylor's work is that he
insists on the converts joining the
church. He is not content with card
signing crusade, but asks each con
vert to kneel in the public service and
promise Jesus Christ that he will join
the church and be baptized. This ac-
counts for the large number who were
already taken into the church before
the meetings closed. A by-product of
the campaign, and yet very valuable
asset, is that the two churches are now
on more friendly terms than has ex.
listed in years. Five union prayer
meetings, besides the regular church
prayer meetings, are being held in
different parts of the city each week.
The evangelist left for meeting in
Glendive, Mont, with the best wishes
of every Christian in town. Both
churches are perfectly satisfied, and
there are no bad effects to be lived
down. Blackfoot certainly has had q
great blessing.
