Missionary From West Africa
Paying Visit to Plentywood

Four hundred miles to the nearest
grocery store, in land where %
degrees in the shade is considered .
very pleasant day, with primitive
and superstitious native blacks as
the only neighbors to himself ard
wife, is life which few, if any of Us
would relish, but which has been the
life of Rev. Wycliffe Smith, mission
airy from French West Africa, who
is in Plentywood at present conduct
ing Evangelistic services at the Cos
pei Tabernacle.
Rev. Smith has been on furlough
for the past couple of years on ac-
count of his health, but he expects
to return to his work in that isolated
field in the course of few months
The Herald writer was favored
with a visit from Rev. Smith a few
days ago and was greatly fascinatel
over the account Of the condition
existing in that primitive land which
contrasts so strangely with our own
ways of living.
The region, he stated, is dominated
by the French government, which
seems to be more concerned in eX-
plotting the territory and the natives
than improving the conditions of the

Rainy Season Hits Here;
Does World Of Good

"The Heavens opened up and the
rains descended"- and Sheridan
County has been benefited by appro-
ximately two inches OF Rain during
the past week. Saturday night
brought rain which lasted through
out the day and well into the next
night and Wednesday brought
another wet spell with almost as
much moisture as the previous rain.
AS result everything is bright and
green. Grass and trees, wnlch have
been held back because of back
ward spring, have responded wonder
fully and are well leaved ou.. The
only setback caused by the weather
has been to the flax sewing. The
fields are too wet at present to per-
NIT work in the fields and the flax
harvest will very likely be a belated
one.

people. This is in sharp contrast with
the policy of the adjacent English
territory and the natives are moving
N large numbers to the English
possessions.
The natives are living under prac-
tically the same conditions that they
did before the white man came to the
territory. Even the documentary
principles of sanitation are unknown
among these people with the result
that fevers Of all kinds, leprosy and
venerial diseases are common at all
times among these people.
The duty of the mission which
Rev. Smith has conducted is to min
ister to the needs of these people.
Christianizing these people is, of
course, the primary object sought,
but treating their diseases and help
ing them improve their mode of
living is the means by which the
end is accomplished.
Rev. Smith plans to give lecture
on the land he has labored in, some
time before he leaves Plentywood
and we recommend full attendance
at the meeting for those who 90 are
assured an intensely interesting
talk.

Graduating Class
Receives Diplomas
Prof. R. E. Albright Was
Speaker At Important
Event

Life as Business Proposition"
was the subject treated by Prof r. +.
Albright at the commencement
exercises at the Orpheum Theatre
last Thursday night.
The business world demands scien-
tifcally trained men and women to
carry on its affairs and these de-
mands are becoming more acute each
year, Prof. Albright told the young
people, and for this reason he urged
them to continue their studies in
some higher institution of learning
The opera house was filled to it's
capacity by friends and relatives Of
the thirty young people who had
completed their four year course of
study in the local high school The
assembly on the beautifully decorated
stage was an impressive one for it
grouped together the largest class
ever to graduate from the local
school.
Prof. Stegner, in presenting the
diplomas, voiced his pride and plea
sure in presenting for graduation the
"fnest" class in the schools history.
The achievement of this group
should not only be source of pride
to the people of Plentywood, but to
Sheridan County as well, for listed in
the class roll are young men and
women from Dagmar, Redstone, Ray
mond, Dooley and Westby as well as
from Plentywood.
The following is the evenings
program:

Big Legion Dance
Saturday Night
Much Interest Shown In Le-
gion Banner Event
of Season

Keen interest in the coming Le.
gion dance and presentation of a car
at the Farmer Labor Temple next
Saturday have been developed the
last few days since the cars of which
the winner may have his choice
have been placed on display at di-
fferent street corners.
Somebody is going to own brand
new, Ford, Chevrolet, Durant OF
Whippet car and the prospects are
too tempting to pass up-hence a
splendid run in ticket sales has been
experienced the past week.
But it isn't along the prospect of
= splendid dance and the possible
ownership of car that is wholly
responsible for the ticket sales. The
projects on behalf of the boys and
girls of Plentywood and Sheridan
County which the legion is sponsoring
meets with the full accord of the
people of the community in general.
Everyone should make special
effort to be at the dance next
Saturday evening

Hatred for war is the only hatred

During the war we were inspired
with a great hatred for the enemy.

said Rev. Field and now. he said,
when we think of white crosses that
mark the graves of the soldier dead,
when we think of the wrecks of hu-
manty that have been caused by the
curse of war, when we think of the
homes that have been saddened be-
cause Of the loss Of loved ones, we
should forget all hatred but our
hatred for this curse of the ages.
The Memorial Day exercises, con-
Quoted under the auspices of the 10
cal Legion and Auxiliary organiza-
tions were very impressive, especially
the grave decoration ceremony, which
was given at the hall instead Of at the
cemetery. as previously announced,

Oil Drilling
Operations
SoontoBegin
Way Now Clear To Give
Local Prospects A Fair
Test
Machinery Expected On Field
By Beginning Of
Next Week

Practical assurance that if there
is oil in the local field, its possibili-
ties will have a thorough testing out
is the assurance now given by those
interested in the promotion Of drilling
operations on the Redstone-Plenty-
wood field.
Although not officially stated, the
necessary number of oil leases have
been made on the territory, the ab-
stracting and filing of which will re-
quire another few days and the Kane
wood Oil Company, who propose
drilling the field expect to be on the
ground with material for operations
by the first Of the week.
Just where the first we'll will be
spudded in has not been given out,
but it is expected that this informa-
ton will be Forthcoming in the course
of a few days
The Kanewood Company has pro-
missed that they will sink three deep
test wells before abandoning the
territory and if there is oil or gas in
this territory these should prove it.
The possibilities of this territory
have long been under consideration.
About fifteen years ago the first
action was brought to consider the
matter, but the field has never had
a real test and the present propo-
sition has the backing of some of the
most substantial businessmen of the
Redstone and Plentywood vicinity
who are enthusiastic in their con-
fidence that there is oil in this
territory.

Seward daily gateway., 1929-02-05

Alaskan canneries and other fish industries so why can they not be interested in Alaska's mining in- dustry. What is good for Alaska is good for Seattle.
 The first named mining con- panies are all around Valdez Bay; then there is the Chas. Wetzler ground on Hurdle Creek; c. Todd on Fourth of July Creek; Alex Sungultairy is also active in that locality. All these claims can be reached via the Richardson high way. I can see no reason why Val dez should not be an excellent producer of minerals the next few years, but we must have the grand oldtime spirit and boost for Alas ka and her mineral wealth. Min ing will come to the front again and Valdez can show more gold prospects than any town in the Third division; but give the man with capital a chance. I am sure this spring will bring several Seat tie men to look over the situation.
 Alaska should have an All- Alaska Chamber of Commerce to meet and discuss matters of Ter ritorial interest, especially min Ing. T think such an organization would work untold benefit to every section of Alaska
