MINISTER TELLS 0F
 TRAVELS IN W|LDS
Describes Difficulties Encounter,
 ed in Montana Wilderness

The Young Peoples Forum of the South Church assembled at 430 Sunday afternoon.
 Rev. E. J, Sipes of Montana gave an interesting account of his work. He is the only minister in an area of hundreds of square miles and js located 42 miles from the nearest railroad. He is preacher, physician and bacteriologist. Mr. Sipes trav- els 30 to 150 miles 10 preach in communities where the people are widely scattered and come long dis tanccs to attend service.
 He said, We have no good roads in our part of Montana. There are roads through sage brush and many gumbo roads where such large masses of clay stick to the tires of the automobile that it stops. Then We get out with shovcls which we always carry and dig the clay off. When we reach brooks there are no bridges, and we have to drive through. sometimes getting stuck in the middle. In one place we left the car a mile away, before reaching the stream, and found q ladder to climb to the top of a tall tree, from which foot bridge of two wires with short board fastened on them, swung to a tree on the opposite side ot a canon at a dizzy height. The rough roads led through country where people were so far apart that We had to go miles to find anyone Of whom to ask the way. Sometimes We lost our way or were delayed, so we always were prepared to spend the night out of doors where We happened to be.
 Tn winter there wa much snow and extreme cold. I was called as doctor 10 sick persons 30 miles dis tant. Once a man went 35 miles 10 the nearest telephone to call me to ms nome. When patients came to me, I examined them and som.- times took them on a sledgc, accom- panied by men who shovelled us out of the drifts as we proceeded through a blizzard 42 miles to the railroad station whence they could go to a hospital"
 Mir Sipes believes that the rail road will be extended through this section in the near future, and that the progress which has begun un- der difficulties may increase.
