SALT LAKE, Feb. Ex-Governor
Spry of Utah has been in correspond
ence with the National Board of Cen
sorship of moving pictures in New
York concerning moving picture films
illustrating stories in which the
Mormons are presented in so objec-
tionable way as to arouse the ire of
Governor Spry, who commenced a
crusade against the picture. Core
spondence between the Governor and
the national board, which passed on
all films included propositions to the
Governor that the State of Utah pro
cure the suppression of certain films
by the purchase of the films and the
copyrights. In a telegram in reply
to one of these proposals the Gov
ernor said: 81 will never consent to
Utah or any institution or person
paying money to suppress these Sian
derous films" The censorship board
has ruled that one of the most sen
sational of the Mormon picture stor-
les shall have change of title and

SEATTLE, Feb. 14.-To spread
the gospel among the natives of the
Kuskokwim River country in Alas
ka, is the object for which the Mora
Wan Mission Society of Bethlehem,
Pa, placed an order with l.. E.
Geary, local naval architect. for AS
foot power craft to operate along the
stream. The vessel will be built in
Seattle as soon as her plans are pre-
pared and will be taken North next
May. CABIN accommodations will pro
vide for carrying both men and wo-
men missionaries up and down the
Kuskokwim, which is next in size to
the Yukon among Alaskan waters.
The Moravian Mission Society. or
gained in Pennsylvania and receiv-
ing most of its support in the East,
has been engaged for many years in
the missionary field of Alaska, and
the plan of using power boats in the
Christianizing of the natives is not
a new one, similar craft to the new
vessel being in use on the Yukon at
present.
Missionary stations will be estab
lished among the Indian colonies
along the Kuskokwim, and chapels
erected wherever possible.
The converted Indians, as a rule,
furnish the material and labor for
erecting little log churches, such as
are to be found in many of the ma
tive colonies of Alaska. The great
valley OF the Kuskokwim has been
little developed during the years
since gold strikes have brought white
men into other parts of Alaska, and
the missionary field there is more or
less new one.
