Mr.. Burgess, who was trained
in the banking business IN Eng,
land and for a time held land
in Manitoba, Canada, where he
was interested in raising stock,
had not contemplated engag-
ing in Indian mission work
when he came to this country.
But through the interests OF
the Presbyterian Church OF
Canada he became interested
in the education of Indian
youth near his home. Most OF
these Indians there were a part
of the band who had engaged
five years earlier in the Custer
Battle on the Little Big Horn.
Through his interests in these
people he learned to speak the
Sioux language, and also to be-
come interested in their spirit
ual welfare. Through appeals
made to him by the Indians to
become their missionary he sold
his holdings in Manitoba, and
entered the Moody Bible InSti-
tute in Chicago for further
training that would fit him
for ministry. After graduation
he was ordained in 1891 in the
First Congregational Church OF
Oak Park, III. When he left
Chicago he came to what was
then nothing more than a small
Indian agency and trading post
called Crow Agency. At that
time there was a hotel there,
some government buildings used
largely as an Indian Boarding
School for the Reservation, a
store and a few white homes.
It was here that he built his
own house, where a year later,
January, 1893, he brought his
bride, who had been Miss Lot
tie McHarg, former teacher at
the Fl. Berthold Indian school.
The first child born to them
whom they named Allen, lived
but fourteen months, and was
buried near their home. The
other children, who are still
living, are Aline, Marjory, Orms-
by and Dorothy. Aline is now
Mrs. Walsh of Cambridge, Mass;
Marjorie, Mrs. George Cooley OF
Danvers, Mass, while Ormsby
and Doorthy are living with

During their twenty-five years
of service here among the Crow
Indians and the white people
this pioneer missionary and his
wife lived devotedly and sacri-
f.cially, giving of themselves I'M

eating and Outstanding all

influence. They we're greatly be-

porting prices for these pro-
ducts are promised to those who
lend their aid in the increased
production, it was stated.
A series of meetings have
been scheduled throughout this
country to explain the program
and how it will function among
Big Horn county farmers. The
meetings will be held next week
at the following places:
Lodge Grass - Monday, Oct.
6, 2 pm. at the Townsend hall.
Wyola - Monday, Oct. 6, 1880
pm. at the community hall.

became the missionaries. During
these nearly nineteen years that
they have been in the field,
about two hundred and fifty
individuals have united with the
church by baptism. The church
building has been remodled;
a vestry was added in 1880 and
in 1887 the former Black Lodge
chapel building was moved to
Crow and built onto the vestry
and for a recreation hall. In
1910 the church building was
further improved by the addit-
ion Of a vestibule and belfry

stood for what he believed to
be a fair deal for the Indians,
brought him much unwarrented
criticism. The work through the
years was slow and at times
very discouraging, yet through
the years he moved steadfaStly
along teaching and training in
Christian living those who
would give ear to his message.
During his ministry he bap-
tised more than three hundred
individuals. His influence for
good during those years would
be hard to measure. Even to-
day, twenty-four years after his
death, his spirit lives on in the
work of the mission which he
established and in the lives Of
the people he contacted.
When Mr.. Burgess had been
with these people Just over
twenty-five years he was taken
from them and laid beside the
church he built and served.
Crowds came from near and far
to pay him tribute, letters and
kilograms were sent in express
ing the admiration of friends
for this man who had laid down
everything this world holds
dear, even life itself, for his
friends on the Crow Reserva-
ton.
At that time a young Indian
said, 1--WE have lost the best
friend we ever had. We cannot
have his words of cheer and
wisdom, but he has told us
many good things and laid a
foundation for us to build on.
We must build so that he will
be pleased when we see him
again." An Indian girl who
could not attend his funeral
wrote, II will be one of the stars
in his crown"
One of the features of the
celebration, Oct. 4, 5 and 6, will
be the unwilling of a large
picture of Mr.. Burgess, the gift
to the church of his daughter,
Marjorie Burgess Cooley, of
Massachusetts. The unwilling

Mr.. Burgess and the wife of the
former Custer scout Goes Ahead.

down came as a result of a
fourth down heave late in the
third quarter.
Hardin stopped another scor-
ing threat in the fourth quar-
ter and had possession of the
ball when the game ended.
StarkWeather, Hardin'S fresh
man guard, played most of the
game in the Red Lodge back
field. He stopped many of the
opponents double and triple

way.
The past week Coaches Gar
ner and Rimel have stressed
tackling and blocking in prep
aration for the HarloWton team

Little is known of the strength
of the Wheatland county team,

stronger than last year when
Hardin eked out an overtime

d ECORDING home town history
N is a fascinating field for the
amateur photographer. With your
camera you can make a historical
picture story of changes in the local
scenes, and in time your album will
be a treasure chest Of people,
places. and events. Some of the pic
lures may seem commonplace now,
but they will become as interesting
and valuable twenty to thirty years
hence as those of the Gay Nine
ties" are today.
Do you remember your town thirty
years ago? Perhaps the streets were
gravel or dirt-now they are paved.
The livery stable, blacksmith shop,
and the general store all played a
prominent role in everyday life.
Now the horse and carriage is an
oddly, the blacksmith shop has
given way to the garage, and the
store that contained everything from
mouse traps to coveralls, whose
owner was both the postmaster and
the sheriff, is relatively rare.
Suppose you had a camera then
and recorded all these subjects. You
could now picture things as they
are today and make up a wonder
full album of comparison snapshots
that would not only be enjoyed but
envied by many.
The changes in the next thirty
years will probably be just as great
and noticeable as those in the past
Many towns still have houses Of

other historical landmarks which are
soon to be replaced. New buildings
are being constructed, the street
car has already been replaced by
buses in many localities. Styles
change every year, skirts grow
longer or shorter, and our outdoor
activities and sports are constantly
changing.
When planning your picture his.
tory, select subjects which, in your
judgment, are most typical of your
town. Street scenes, residences.
downtown buildings, present types
of automobiles, trains, airplanes.
and many other things contain ele-
ments that are modern today, but
may be obsolete tomorrow.
Take a number of good compari-
son pictures. For example, take a
shot of an old house which is being
torn down, and then, later, take a
snapshot of the modern structure
which replaced it. For variety in
your album, try a number of un-
usual angle shots similar to our
illustration above. And don't forget
night scenes of electric signs, light
ed buildings, and the main street.
History is being made every day.
and your camera is an ideal means
of recording it. You'll be surprised
at the changes made in a five or
ten-year period. Things we see to-
day will be nothing but a memory
in a short while, and the snapshots
you take now will have greater and
greater appeal as time goes on.

Dry and dryer, that is what
my weather barometer says. I
know all of the alfalfa and SUI

it. If the weather doesn't clear

will be in a heckofa jam, and
the same goes for one furniture
store.
Yesterday I met the new game
warden for Big Horn county. He
is one guy that I'm gonna get
along with. BY golly, I wonder
how Frank Starina and his wife
is dom up at Missoula. Frank
was a good tough warden. I
know every time I saw him
when I was fishin' I wood start
to Shiver because he wood ask
a lotta questions and I wasn't
sure if I could answer them rite.
You know Holus ought to
put in the paper the new game
warden's picture to kinda let
everybody know what he looks
like. I bet when Holus's boy
grows up and takes his business
over he will have lots of pic
lures in the paper.

airs has me kinda guessing. I

hear there amt no real millyun-

anyway the Greeks got together
and each had a big neon sign

bottom of the signs they had
Andy put "open all night" The
poor Chink was in a heckofa

and didn't want to say the same
thing as the Greeks. But Andy
was after more business and he
went to see the Chinaman to
see if he could make a sign for

which has greatly added to the
appearance of the building. This
was made possible by local con-
tributions from friends about
Big Horn county. Ten graded
classes in the Sunday school
have rooms available for their
use, and a fine auditorium pro-
vides a worShipful atmosphere
for the church services. There
is a wholesome interest in the

pie in the community and the
church is looking forward to
