CONFERENCE FOR
MISSOURI SLOPE

Bismarck. N. ID, June 3.-Dr. DAN
ford and J. p. jackson. the representa-
tives from Bismarck to the General
Conference in Minneapolis have re-
turned. They report a great congress
Of Methodism and some very important
legislation but no change in the dis
cipline or doctrines Of old established
Methodism. They tried their level best
to get an Episcopal residence at Bis
marck but Helena, Mont, beat them to
1t. The Montana capitol hooded the
delegates with printed and picture adj
yertising costing hundreds of dollars.
One morning each seat in the auditor
iunn had a large album containing pic
lures and write ups of the best features
of Helena and Montana. All of which
goes to show that advertising pays.
Dr. Danford is a great Booster
himself but he says those Helena folks
go ahead of anything he has ever seer
for boosting The new bishop. To-
Gated at Helena, is N. Luccock, recent
~ of Kansas City. DIR. Danford and
Mr.. Jackson proposed some important
measures which went through. One of
them proposes a division of the North
Dakota conference. An enabling act
passes which enables the conference to
divide by a majority vote of the con-
ference on such line and under such
name as they may determine. Some
prominent Methodist suggests calling
D new conference, If one is formed,
the Bismarck conference. That will be
particularly appropriate if the Metho-
dist organize a Bismarck college. Our
STAFF correspondent writes very fiatter-
ingly of the popularity Of our district
superintendent, DR.. Danford. He says
he is one of the best known superin-
tendents of Methodism. He received a
very complimentary vote for general
secretary of home missions church
extension-being sixth in about twenty
voted for.
Being interviewed, DR.. Danford SAYS
be was not a candidate for anything
and is perfectly satisfied With North
Dakota and asks nothing better than a
chance to work on the frontier, where
he has already put in the best years Of
his life.
The North Dakota annual conference
will meet this year at Williston on Oc-
tober 2. The slope country will show
advancement along all lines of Metho-
dism.
