Theodore Shoemaker and K. D. Swan of that office have been detailed to inspect the site and report on its condition. The battlefield, located a few miles from Wisdom, is marked by the rifle pits once occupied by blue -coated soldiers, target at the Indians' fire; trees are filled with bullets and a forlorn cannon, dragged to the site Oibbons' soldiers and cap- tured by the red men, still guards the silent field where once it barked defiance to the foe. Children recently found two balls which had been fired from the old piece, it watt reported, and these may be secured for mem- entos of the fray. A large monument was erected several years ago and, to protect it, from souvenir -hunting vandals, a strong ranee was built around it. Curio collectors are now digging the bullets from the trees, it is reported, and removing other articles from the battlefield. Will C. Barnes of Washington, D. C,. a forest service official, who was in Missoula for several days, is much interested in the scene of the battle and believes that it should be better preserved. Mr. Shoemaker and Mr. Swan will check reports of vandal- ism, it is understood. Glacier. Farm Acreage Increases. Showing a gratifying improvement in agricultural conditions in Glacier county over those of five years ago the 1925 farm census of that county compiled by the United States depart- ment of commerce has lust been re - lembroidered in beads. I asked Mrs. ceived by the Montana department Burroughs where she got the de - agriculture. While the number of !signs. Her reply was that some had fartes listed on Jan. 1, 1925, is email than the number listed Jan. 1, 1920, the farm acreage is nearly doubled. There were 372 farms for the year 1919 with only 345 for the calendar year 1924, but the acreage shows an increase in that period from 645,256 acres to 1,061,310 acres. This acreage consists of 64.163 acres of crop land in 1924, of which 49,976 acres were harvested, 1,776 acres had crop failures and 12,412 acres were in fallow or idle, and 983,686 acres of pasture land, of which 41,695 was plowable, 25,088 in woodland, and 916,903 classed pasture.

The association has done this pioneer missionary work in 53 tribes and separated parts of tribes.\ The work of this association is certainly liberal and' comprehensive in its scope, and I have quoted from its bulletin to enlighten Montanans regarding what is being done at the Rocky Boy Mission. All this work is made possible solely by voluntary contributions. Among the denominations to whom these missions have been transferred are rnentiqned, the Me- thodist, Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal, Baptist, Mennonite, and the Moravian. But aside from the religious training given, many contri- bute to the association because of its practical teaching. Some assistance can be renderd by purchasing the bead work of the Indian women.

The tiny baby moccasins in white kid, were dainty enough to make any mother covet them. I marvelled that Indian hands could keep them in such spotless condition; when Mrs. Burroughs explained this point. The work, she says, is done under her supervision. That afternoon ov- er 50 women were expected to meet with her. When these women arrive on such occasions, they are taught to wash their hands, that they might be scrupulously clean: Then papers are laid across the laps of the workers to portect their work. These prelimin- aries account for the spotlessness of the finished product; serving also to impress upon the women the import- ance of cleanliness. Indian women have done embroid- ery work for centuries. At first bone needles or bodkins were used, enab- ling the women to work designs on skins, or other material, with dyed porcupine qiulls that were later dis- placed by the beads sold to them by the fur traders. Nor did these fur traders find the Indian women easy purchasers to please. The heads they sought must be up to the standard set by the women, both in quality and color, or none would buy them.

They seem best to like making quilts. It is an interesting sight to see the work- ers, in their bright colored scarfs and shawls, all seeming to be having a good time, and when the quilts are finished, they are taken home to add a bit of comfort there. At each meeting a message is given; some- times on the care of babies, health, hygiene, foods and preparation of foods; and sprinkled in between are messages pointing to the Savior, the One whom we all need to help as in our every day living. \The first winter we were here, a number came to us with native bead work, which they wanted to sell.

A geologic collection consisting of quartz crystals, geyser deposit and hot spring deposits has been pre- sented to the geology department of the State university of Missoala by Mrs. Fayette Harrington of Butte. The collection formerly was the prop- erty of Fayette Harrington, who at one time owned considerable proper- ty in Virginia City. Harrington col- lected the specimens in Yellowstone park before restrictions were placed on souvenir seeking by government officials.' A picture of Virginia City, historic Montana capital, printed in the gold days of that city, also was presented by Mrs. Harrington. 41. 41W 411PW - 71V - 41I - Aii The Purity of Cullom Makes It Unexcelled For All Toilet Purposes START RIGHT!

In 1885 he came to Mon- tana from England anti as a young preacher served the territory now embraced in the communities; of Nun River, Cascade, Augusta, Port Shaw and Clicitestu, and since those days he has continued to serve these same communities. In appreciation of his usefulness the Cascade Community Commercial club gave him a birthday party. Due to the bad condition of the roads guests from out of town were unable to come. However, those who were unable to attend sent their greet- ings by wire and letter, and these were read in the meeting. The Rev. J. A. Martin and the Rev. Jesse W. Bunch of Great Falls, the Rev. Little's former and present presiding elder, were present and gave talks of appreciation. The Rev, R. B. Cul- bertson of Choteau, a former asso- ciate, was also present and spoke. The Deaconess hospital at Great Falls was represented by Miss Ariss and Miss Walter. They brought a huge birthday cake lighted by 78 candles, which at an appreciate mo- ment was presented. Many amusing and also thrilling anecdotes of early days were related by the Rev. Mr. Little. The town people of Cascade gave a program of musts and read- ings iv -- hlth was highTe - iiroprecia ted. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served by the do- mestic science department of the Cascade high school.
