MISSIONARY LECTURES

Miss K. Booker, Baptist mission
ary to India, spoke to about fifty
ladies at the home Of Mrs. J. 4.
Cockburn Tuesday afternoon. Miss
Booker spoke Of the work as ahe
found it when entering the field and
the surmounting Of the difficulties
encountered when it seemed an i'm
possibility to. carry on, but through
steadfast courage and prayer accom-
plished that work which she was
sent to do. Miss Booker was pro-
strated for over year from being
exposed to the heat of the plains
of India for only a few moments.
Since That time she, with other work.
ers go to the mountains at that sea-
son Of the year. Rev. Test of the
Presbyterian church entroduced the
speaker and proposed that collec-
tion be taken and given to Miss
Booker to be used toward the motion
picture machine which she hopes to
take back to India with her, to assist
IN picturing the bible truths upon
the minds of the children of India
with whom she works. At the close
Of the hour, which was all too short.
listening to the interesting talk of
Miss Booker, Mrs. Cockburn assisted
by Mrs. Test, Miss Cockburn, Miss
Douglas and Mrs. Stinson served
thosa assembled with hot chocolate
and cakes.

SENATOR FRAZIER

In a speech given at banquet in
Grand Forks, the guest of honor,
Lynn ] Frazier states that "He hopes
too much would not be expected Of
him when he gets to Washington.
Surely the good he has done for
the dear pee-puf Of this state for the
past five years, when he had full
swing at the government thereof,
makes such warning unnecessary.
There will be nothing expected
from him for the good Of the state
nor for the good of the vast ma jority
of the people who ousted him from
Office, so there will be no disappoint-
nnent along those lines. He says he
hopes that. with the leadership Of
LaFolette he may be able to do his
little share in bettering the condition
Of the common people.
No doubt Mr.. Frazier had some
such high ideals when he accepted
the leadership of such characters as,
Townley, Lemke ct al in this state
and by lettering the financial condi-
ton of a few of his dictators put
the credit of North Dakota in jeop-
ardy and sent hundreds Of common
people" into bankruptcy. Yes, we
have reason to expect much from
Lynn J. Frazier as senator from this
state.

NESTOS HEADS OFF
SCALPERS ON STATE
HAIL WARRANTS

Announcement has been made from
Bismarck that the state officers head
ed by Governor Nestos, have closed
a deal for paying hail warrants as
soon as issued. This action was TAX
en- early to prevent scalpers grating
the farmers as was done under the
Frazier administration.
The hail warrants will be issued
by Commissioner Olsness on Decem-
ber 1st. At that time farmers who
want to cash their warrants can get
the cash at the rate of SO 1-2 in De-
cember, 80 in January, SO 1-2 in Feb
uary, and at par in March.
are not due until December 1st and
it is certain that but small per-
centage Of the taxes will be paid be-
fore they become delinquent on
March 1st.
Last year after Mr.. Nestos be-
came governor deal was made by
which the warrant holders were able
to sell at SO in January, SO 1-2 in
February, 80 in March and at par
later.
The deal made for this year is
better than was made last year and
30 far ahead of what the Frazier ad-
ministration did, that there is no
comparison. Under the Frazier ad-
ministration, hail warrants were ped
died at discount of anywhere from
10 to Is per cent.
Under this deal farmers can get
par for the warrants in time to pay
their taxes and avoid all penalties.

the truck and then we knew that was
no place for US. We went back and
took road mile south of this one
and made it alright, altho we had to
go on low. We did not have any
trouble all that day and reached OAK
land, Nebraska, that night.
We left Oakland early the next
morning and had good roads that day
as we went out Of our way SO as to
get to Fremont as there was a good
highway out of there to Omaha. Al
Fremont they have a fine tourist
camp. They have fair sized build
ing, all heated up and an electric
hot plate to cook your meals on.
They have camps all along the high
way for tourists. We always made
1t point to stop at these places to
cook our meals.
We crossed the river again at
Omaha and reached Sidney, Ia. thai
night and had supper in the hall
there as the ladies of the M. r.
church gave supper there. We left
Sidney early the next morning and
crossed the Missouri river which cost
us fifty cents and almost got pinchef'
for driving the right hand sida Of
the bridge. They had only charged
US fifteen and twenty-five cents at
other places. Had no trouble at all
only could not make very good head
way because the roads were dryinr'
up and We're very rough. That night
we had another fine supper that was
put on by the M. E. ladies of Ever
est, Kansas.
After we left Everest, Kansas.
we had fairly good roads and moved
right on to Amsterdam, Missouri
which took day and half as we
stopped at Kansas City and stocked
up on camp supplies such as tent
blankets, etc.
We are staying at my sisters place
now, DR.. and Mrs. Hartwell. DIR.
Hartwell has q very good practice
here aitho a1e has. only been five
years. They have two little boys,
one three years old and the other
eight months old. I get the job play
ing nurse once in while.
We have the old car in fine tune
again and expect to start Monday
or Tuesday for Dallas, Texas. We
are going to go through the centra,
part of Oklahoma and take in all
the sights throughout the oil district.
Been raining here all day and still
raining and if it don't let up by
morning we might have to stay here
q few days longer.
DR.. and Mrs. Hartwell ask me to
state that if any one from Pembine
is coming this way to stop here and
spend a week with them as any one
from the old home town is always
welcome.
We are in the best of health and
having a high old time and wiz
write again If the rattle snakes don't
get US in New Mexico.
With best regards we remain,
ours sincerely,

lSsD1l ~ - ~ H. .!44Yssz |
(Photo by H. F. Nixon)
Chief Popnetenennisch made his
periodical visit to Pembina last week
and Photographer Nixon got him to
sit for picture by paying him for
it. 1t is probably the first picture
the old chief has had taken for the
Indians are adverse to having their
photograph on display. -.
1t is something like forty years
ago since the writer first saw "Iame
John," as he is familiarly, known
around here. He was then erect as
the most stalwart of his tribe. But
old age has made enroads on his
physique until he is bent over, and
the furrows that Father Time has
made on his face shows that he has
Weathered many storms and hard
winters in this northern latitude.
He claims to be eighty years old
but those who knew him best say
he must be considerably older.
About twenty-five years ago he met
with an accident and broke his leg
and he has not been able to walk
that he was not attended by doctor
for the leg is very crooked and
causes him trouble. ~
Lame John" speaks fairly good
English. He can sit down and tell
you about the good old times when
the Roseau tribe went out on their
expeditions after buffalos with bow,
and arrow, and killed all the moose,
elk and deer along any of these
streams tributary to the Red river
they cared to kill.
According to medal he wears
occasionally he was counted among
the good Indians that were wards
of the Canadian government. This
medal is made of bronze, is three
inches in diameter, and on one side
is raised the busts of Duke and
Duchess if the British nobility
that visited the Canadian northwest
in the 7O's. The other side bears
the inscription in raised letters, Civ
ing day and date of the donation.
When the government allowance is
given the owner of the medal is Civ
en- double donation, says Lame
John" This medal will be handed
down from father to son when be
dies.
Tho older settlers remember him
as "Tinsnlith john" for he used to
go around and repair tinware before
the regular tinsmiths came to thi.
country. And he was quite iproL
ticient at the work.
When he comes to Pembina beg
ging, which is quite often, very
few turn him away without giving
him something. Either old clothes,
something to eat or money.
Chief Popnetenenneisch's journey
is nearly at an end, and when Cab
riel blows his trumpet he expects to
be counted among the favored ones,
for he says he has always been a
good Indian. He believes there is a
good place prepared in the Happy
Hunting Grounds" for those who
have been friendly to the white peo-
pie.
He claims he was born where Win
nipeg now stands, when the Indian
tepee was the only thing there. In
former years we can remember when
Lame John," and others of his
tribe used to journey across to the
Standing Rock agency to attend the
annual celebrations of the Chippawa
tribes, and they would come back
with q string of ponies that were do
mated by those Indians who had more
than the others and to those who
came the fartherest to attend these
festivities.
