CONFERENCE OF
MISSION WORKERS
ANNUAL MEETING FOR FOUR
STATES HELD AT OSWEGO
3RD TIME ON FIT. PECK

(The following account of the con-
ference was obtained through the
courtesy of the Mission at Oldtown.)
For the third time in its history
the Fort Peck Indian reservation had
the honor of entertaining the great
! missionary conference of the Pres
byterian and Congregational churches
and missions held this year az Os-
wego, from August % to August 81,
inclusive. Four states were repre-
sented, Nebraska, North and South
Dakota and Montana.
This great annual meeting was
first held at Goodwill Mission, Sis
seton, S. D., in 1872 at the instigation
of Rev. John P. Williamson, y D.
called for fifty years "The White
Brother of the Sioux" and Rev. Thos.
Riggs, D. D., father of the Rev. AL
fred Longley Riggs, founder of the
Santee Normal Training school and
grandfather of Mr.. Frederick B.
Riggs, present principal at Santee.
In 1872 the work was all Presbyter-
ian but in the early eighties the Con-
gregationalists drew out from the
Presbyterians, though they always
continued the work hand in hand
with each other and met together in
annual conferences
Owing to the great distance and
the great expense of the trip this
meeting was the smallest ever had.
Nearly all the churches were repre-
sented, but of the forty-four Wo-
mans Missionary societies of the
Presbyterian church only eleven were
represented, while of the twenty-five
societies of the Congregational
church only five were represented.
However, most of the societies sent
their contributions of the year, the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian Society of the Presby-
terian church raising $2603.69. I'm
fortunately no report on the amount
raised by the Congregational Wo-
mans Missionary societies is avail
able at this time
The ministers of the Presbyter-
ian church present were: Rev. Jesse
P. Williamson, Wagner, S. D., Rev.
John Wright, Santee, Neb., Rev. A.
F. Johnson, Pine Ridge, S. D., of the
Indian pastors: Rev. John Eastman,
S. D., who has never mis-
sed meeting since 1878. Rev. Jo-
seph Rogers, Drew, Mont, Rev. Robt.

HITTING THE TRAIL
OF LEWIS ROMANCE
DIRECTOR AND COMPANY COME
TO MONT. FOR WESTERN
COLOR AND BEAUTY

When, as all good pictures sooner
or later do, Gree Air. comes to the
Liberty, don't fail to see it, because
some of the beauties of the Treasure
State will be used in the making of it.
1t is becoming more and more COM
mon to employ Montana scenes and
color in western pictures and stories.
When Sinclair Lewis, the now ia
NOUS author of Main Street, wrote
Gree Air. refreshing western nov
ell that appeared serially in well
known weekly, he wisely chose to lay
his principal scenes in the up and do
ing districts of the Northwest, which
of course includes Montana. So when
E. H. Griffith undertook the Job OF
directing the filming of "Free Air.
he elected to make the picture genu-
inc by taking it where the scenes
were laid by the author
Utilizing Western Color
Director Griffith and large COM
pany of artists and experts passed
through Wolf Point last Sunday even
ing en- route to Glacier Park where
three weeks will be used in shooting
the matchless scenery to be fitted
into the lively romance of Claire
Boltwood and Milt Daggett.
1t so CHANGED that The Herald
man was a passenger from Fargo to
Wolf Point on the same trains with
the Gree Air" company. The max
ing of pictures is common enough IN
some parts of the country, but IN
North Dakota and Montana compan-
les of movie makers still excite inter-
est even for blase editors They were
spotted when they boarded the train
at Fargo as some sort of road COM
pany by the unusual amount OF bag
gage and suspicious were confirmed
by story in Fargo morning paper,
which told of the movie company that
had been taking scenes around Far
go for use in filming Gree Air" 1t
was easy enough to get one of the
company, exercising on the platform
at New Rockford, to admit that he
belonged to the Gree Air" company
and later to gain an introduction
through him to Director Griffith.
A Typical Director
Directors are supposed to have the
most strenuous jobs that grow out
of the strenuousness of modern act
ivities and E. H. Griffith looked full !
ly fit for the part. Young, alert, rug
ged and brown, clad in stout clothing
and top boots, it was hard to believe
that his celebrated namesake I'D. W."
had anything whatever on him.
Seated at a table in his compart-
ment, the director was working out
continuity" on a huge chart with a
copy of the original text of Free
Air" open somewhere near the mid
die. He was busy but graciously gave
the reporter all the time he needed
for an interview. Publicity, he said,
was of little value to a picture in the

Judge Weaver observed early last week that the moon was just right for killing hogs. the sign indicating that the bacon would not shrink away in frying, ard the ham gravy would be just the proper rich brown, so he hied away to Mountain Top, Mrs. Weaver going along to take care of him, and helped Davis Bond kill hogs. Now, of course, he did not do any of the heavy work till 1t came time to put away the spare-ribs. back.bones, sausage and brains, when he did all the heavy work. The Judge may not have had much brains when he went up there, but he sure was plumb saturated with them the entire week he was there.

rush season. MT. Bond placed them before him in coveys, f1ocks and droves; hills peaks and mountain ranges of them disaf- peared into his cavernous depths. A runner was sent to call for help from the neighboring folks, like rousing the Scottish Highlanders. The Jason Brooks clan, the Cobbs. the Batemans. the McCallisters and all the other mountain clans came heroically to the aid of the Bonds. From peak and crag and moor the gathering clans were seen silently and hastily making their way to the mountain fast nessss held by the plaid-garbed followers of Bond all fully armed with back bone and spare-ribs, ard still they could not make the doughty trencherman cry enough. The chiefs of the Null berry clans decided to send the fiery cross into the Boston High lands to call those friendly clans to their rescue. The Mulberry mountains were rapidly being drained of back bones and ribs and it would never do to let their reputation for hospitality suffer by having it said that a Lowlana- CT had come into their midst on a friendly mission and they had starved him. The cross was charred and dipped in hogs blood and their swiftest runner had raced up the pass leading to the Boston mountain when the clear bugle notes burst from the towers of Bonds castle and sum- moned him back The Judge had heard they had sent to the Boston clans for help and gave up hope of eating everything on both mountains and asked Mr. Bond 10 haul hm back to Ozark and entered this city, Monday morning, with all the pomp and glory of q victor. He isl plan- hing raid for early in Januarv which will sweep through the valleys of South Franklin, ard any body who ventures to follow his path of destruction had better carry their backbones and ribs with them.
