Hardies Enjoy Motor
Trip To Washington

w. ]. Hardie, Mrs. Hardie, Iris
and Evelyn returned last Friday ev-
ening from a motor tour to west
ern Washington. There they Wis
tied the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hardie's son, Herbert, who resides
near Port Angeles, city of 10000
1t was their first trip to the coast
and Mr.. Hardie says the striking
contrast between that country and
this, held much interest for them.
They crossed Puget Sound on
mammoth ferry that carried fifty
cars and had fine view of the
Pacific fleet which was returning
south from Vancouver.
The industries near Port Angeles
are confined largely to dairying
and poultry raising. Fruit grows
there, but is not grown
commercially to any large extent
because it is almost a drug on the
market Mr. Hardie's son is en-
gagged in poultry raising with a
flock of 1900 hens, which are at
present yielding him 900 to 700
eggs daily, which are marketed
in Port Angeles at 80 cents doz-
en-.
Mr.. Hardie says that Washing
ton and Idaho are considerably |
ahead of Montana in the point of |
cross state highways. Going out |

md Missoula, which way he found
much better road.

Point Schedule

In announcing the Roosevelt
County Princess Contest, and in
serting a coupon ballot in each
copy of The Herald, nothing was
said about the value of each ball
lot in POINTS for the candidate.
At the time The Herald decided
to cooperate with the State Fair
in the matter of a county princess
it was not known how many Roos-
evelt county papers would take
up the same idea. If there were
more than one paper cooperating
in the contest of course the sche-
dule of values would need to be
uniform and could be agreed upon
before the votes were counted.
1t is now quite evident that no
paper but The Herald is conduct
ing a contest, so the following
schedule of values is adopted and
announced.

Great Northern Closing
Shops At Four Terminals

Reports that come from authen-
tic sources are to the effect that
the Great Northern will close it's
railroad shops at four terminals,
Havre, Devils Lake, Dale Street,
st. Paul, and one other Minnesota
point. Some of the workmen en-
ployed at the closed shops will be
transferred to other Great Northern
terminals. Great Falls will, it is
said, profit by the closing of the
Havre shops. More than half of
the railroad men who reside in
Havre are employed in the shop.
Engines Of better class and
policy of less frequent and more
thorough repairs is said to be re-
sponsible for the radical changes.

OLDTOWN MISSION
SCHOOL CLOSED
WILL BECOME A COMMUN-
lTY CENTER

Announcement was received this
week from Miss Faith Haines that
the Indian Mission school, which
was established in 1895 by Mrs.
Cynthia D. King. would cease to
function as school, but that the
buildings would serve as a social
center for the Indians. A nurse
will be employed to give advice
about care of the Indian children,
ETC., to visit the Indians in their
homes and to assist in every way
possible the upbuilding of the
health of the Indian citizens of
this and surrounding communities.
Miss Haines, in communication
sent from Colorado Springs, says:
The Fort Peck Reservation has
been fortunate in having had a
devoted Christian woman who
spent most of her life here as
friend of the Indian people Mrs.
Cynthia King was interested in
the spiritual, mental and physical
well being of her neighbors. AL
ways active in the church work
she gave most of her time to the
Christian training of the boys and
girls. Mrs. Kings School" as it
was called was at first the only
one in the region and the children
of white people on both sides of
the river were glad to attend it
with their Indian neighbors. Three
hundred and sixty-seven pupils
have attended the school for at
least year and those who are
living are found in many lines of
work, the older ones in homes of
their own and the younger ones,
some of them in non-reservation
schools.
Church Support
Mrs. Kings school work was
made possible by the support of
the members of the Presbyterian
church in the U. S. A. Through /
various boards they have sent /
to help her and contribut-
I'd thousands of dollars each year
toward it's expenses. Since the
death of Mrs. King it has been
carried on by the Division of
Schools and Hospitals under the
Board of National Missions.
Conditions Changed
During the last year there has
,een careful study of the field
ind conditions are found to have
changed so much that it is thought
,est to make change in the mis-
ion work. This does not mean
my lessening of the interest in
he welfare of the people of this
'egion, but public schools have
increased and government schools
t Poplar and off the reservation
re attracting many pupils so that
he division officers have decided ..
ot to offer school work next year.
By special arrangement few
iris will be received into the home
f the workers and live at the
uilding while attending the pub
c school, but the regular school
York is closed SO parents must
rrange for sending the children s
D other schools next year.
