--N1hemiah. IN nxampls for Men Of Az
htrs.
Nehemiah was q cupbearer to the
Persian king. While performing his
duty as cupbearer. he learned Of the
distress Of his brethren in Jerusalem.
Having secured leave Of absehcs
from the Persian court and credentials
from the king, he journeyed to Jerusa-
lem. After resting three days without
disclosing his purpose to anyone. he
made survey Of the walls by night.
Having thus obtained drst-hand infor-
nation, he called the representatives
Of the Jews together and said. Let "
build the wallssof Jerusalem"
|. Preparation for the Building
(Chap. 81.
The division Of labor IN this project
shows Nehemiah's administrative abil-
ity. A wise distribution Of labor makes
difacult tasks easy. Note some out
standing features Of this great work:
l. Stress Laid Upon Indifference
(S:b). In administrative tasks 1t 10
just that unfaithfulness should be
pointed out. Such action will be q
warning to some and encouragement to
others, In that 1t shows the integrity
of the director.
q Help Rendered by Women (8:12).
Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid
him. 1t was fine thing for the worn-
en to help, even In building wall.
when there were no men to do 1t.
g. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness
(9:20) II one knows that his faithful
ness will be recognized, he will earnest
ly pursue his tasks.
4. Every One Built Over Against His
Own House q 10. 23, 2S). No incen-
tive to exertion Is quite so strong as
that WHICH concerns ones own family.
5. Certain Guilds Of Men Undertook
Certain Work q g, 81, 32). Wise ad-
pinistration sometimes calls for such
alignment Of efforts. Men Of the same
class and craft will surely work better
together.
II. Hindrances Encountered (4:1-
8:14.
/. Scofing Of Sanballat and Tobiah
(4:1-6; ct. 2:19, 20). The opposers Of
Gods servants usually begin by hurl-
ing at them shafts Of ridicule. They
called the Jews I feeble folk and as
serted that the tread Of prowling fox
would break down their stone wall.
2. Conspiracy for q Sudden Attack
t4:7-e). When the enemy saw that
the work was actually succeeding they
changed from ridicule to an attempt
to throw the worlnnen into panic.
When the enemy cannot succeed BY
scofang they resort to intimidation.
8. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:1O
,@). They sought by means Of the
&ws from the outside to discourage
tAoIf brethren BY showing that the
was hopeless and that at any time
II were subject to q sudden and Sc
cr& attack.
4. Greed ana Oppression Of the
Rulers (5:l-18). The Jews Of that
day, like the profiteers Of our time'

pressed them 20 that they mortgaged

The story of Mr.. ~Stevenson's
achievements in oil reads like a ro-
nance. When he undertook to fin
ance the drilling of the first well in
the Kevin-Sunburst district, he was
a minor in the oil game. Business
was stagnant and money scarce, but,
in a remarkably short time, through
n of the ~cleverest advertising cam
paigns ever put on in Montana, he
raised upwards of %$250,000. This
was the money that drilled the Cor
don Campbell we'll, started the boom
that has brought millions of dollars
to Montana, and changed the stub
born minds of many eminent geolo-
gists. In the district in which Ste
venson and Gordon Campbell pion-
eered when there were few Of faith
in their findings, there are now OPP
Grating over 10 subsidiary companies
of the Standard Oil, over 100 wells
drilled, drilling or getting ready to
drill, while 500 drillings are predict
ed for the early spring. Thirty pro-
ducing wells are feeding the mains
of the Illinois pipe line, and where
there was desolation a year ago there
is now a prosperity that takes on a
greater volume as each succeeding
we'll is brought in. Hundreds of
homesteaders have realized hand
somely on land which they had farm
ed during the drought years with i'll
success; some of them have attained
affluence through their royalty earn
and more will do so, and Shelby,
center of much of this activity, has
become one of the Invest towns in
the state, and is growing in popula-
ton every day.

Shelby offered to guarantee Demp-

for the bout, agreeing to put up a
forfeit of $4,000. Kearns in reply
said that if 100000 forfeit were de-

guaranteed he would consider the
offer. The matter will be taken up
with the governor and the attorney
general to learn If any obstacle ex-
lists to carrying out the plan. Shelby's
offer was made through the Toole

Louis Hill of the Great Northern

SO far as is known, this is the first

planning to build a memorial build

pose. Definite arrangements for the
proposed bout will probably be made
a few days, it is thought, thus
determining whether or not a worlds

collector was doing to further the
cause of ~anthropology.
While collecting in a private way,
Mr.. Heye had ever before him a plan
for a great museum that would con-
tain everything pertaining to the life
and activities of the American In
dian, and in 1916 his hopes became
realities, and the cornerstone of the
new museum was laid. With the aid
of a board of trustees the building,
the casing, and the collecting and in
stalling of over a million and a half
specimens has been made possible,
and, on November Is, 1922, the doors
of the museum were thrown open to
the public, and now on weekdays,
Sundays, and holidays, those who are
interested may enter at will, with
no thought of an admission fee, and
with access to everything that the
museum contains.
The director feels the urgent need
of gathering In the material evidence

this great search for specimens the

The year 1922 will always be re-
membered by lovers of the American
Indian, as the year that saw the
opening of a great monument to his
memory, the Museum of the Ameri-
can Indian, Heye Foundation, in New
York City.
This wonderful institution is the
result of unceasing labors on the part
of its director, George G. Heye. From
childhood he had been interested in
Indian productions, and had collected
a number of representative speci-
mems. In 1903 he obtained his first
archaeological collection which came
from prehistoric Pueblo ruins in So
zorro county, New Mexico. With this
as a nucleus the collection grew
apace. Many large accumulations
were obtained and expeditions were
500 afield which added materially
to the value of this ever-increasing
embryonic museum.
In 1906 systematic research work
in Ecuador was undertaken, and the
results have given our country the
most complete collection of prehis-
toric artifacts from this region to be
found in the world, and the results
of the field explorations were pre-
scented to the scientific workers in
the form of two large illustrated vol
umes, which we're distributed in this
country and EurOpe-museums, Ii
braries, and individual specialists be-
ing presented with this tangible evil

basement will also be rented for bust
ness purposes.
The Williamson building which is
almost finished is to be raised an
other story in answer to the demand
for office space, several professional
men haing leased quarters there. On
a SO foot lot bought by Frank L..
Sheridan, a brick and tile garage will
be erected which will be as modern
and up-to-date as any in the state.
Leonard Small is busy erecting a
building in the west end of the city
which will house an electrical sup
ply house. On the north side of the
city, E. G. LOOMS has just completed
a large dancing pavilion. John Van
Horn has started building a structure
which will house a wholesale and re-
tail cigar and tobacco business while
another party as yet unnamed will
start on a first class and we'll equip

trict.

Der company property is being nego-|
tiated for by men who, if successful,
will erect a number of small business
quarters. AS soon as weather is set
tied enough to permit safely pouring
concrete for foundations, work is to
be started on several buildings al

is the preservation of the concrete
evidence of our place in our nations
history.
Hundreds are now flocking to the
aid of the museum, and among those
who are most enthusiastically inter
ested is w. Wildschut of Billings.
His work for the museum among the
Crows, Blackfeet, Bannacks, and
other tribes, has added invaluable
specimens that will be kept for all
time for students and specialists and
will furnish many links in the chain
of evidence that Is being forged in
an endeavor to connect early condi-
lions with those of today. AS a rep
resentative of the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation,
Mr.. Wildschut is doing his best to in
terest others in the work that needs
the assistance of each and every one
who has Indian material or who
knows of others who possess collec-
tions that should be preserved in a
fireproof institution.
The museum is in need of larger
series of costumes, horse trappings,
ceremonial objects, and the thousand
and one things that are a part of the
tribes that occupy the Montana re-
gion and the surrounding territory.
The tribes of this particular region
were SO virile, and employed such dis
tinctive designs and embellishments
for their art products and clothing
that a full and comprehensive series
of these and other objects should be
assembled in order that this most in
~teresting phase of Indian life may
be recorded in the proper way and
that its full significance may be felt
in comparison with similar objects |
from other parts of our great west
ern country.
The commendable enthusiasm of
Mr.. Wildschut is worthy of emula-
ton and collectors should feel proud
to join the ranks of those who are
making history, and whose names
will be recorded on the enduring
records as helpers in the ranks of ma
ton builders.
We know that Mr.. Wildschut will
be glad to hear from anyone
who has either ancient or modern
Indian productions, and may we not
the hope that many will res
pond and thus, by their example and
help, add new zeal and inspiration
10 a cause that should be dear to the
hearts of all.
