(Coa tinned from pag 1) op to the debate between the Sa- lem. Maps., high school teams and our own high school teams, which resulted, in tour own teams win cing at both Salems. Mr. Elvin went to France and served in the Vorld ,. war in an important ca . pacity with the Y. M. C. A. forces. 1U Is.now pastor of the First Con gregational I church at . Helena, Montana.' tn the current number of the Congr'egatlonalist. Boston, leading journal of that denomina tion, Mr. Elvin has an article en titled, "The Black Hills; the West Welcomes the President' written in true Elvinian style. To his ln- tlmates In Salem; Mr. Elvin was "Jimmy Elvin;" not used with disrespect, ? either. Those who know; Mm will understand. The following is the article in The Congregationalism) ' iTie Black Hills country is all het up," as the old-timers say, clear to tiia"gills.M for tie presi dent Is Its guest during this sum . ner.' We' far! westerners are so re lieved. "We had a huncb out here - that the president would not get any farther west than Pennsylvan ia. eBut the Black Hills that's far enough west to suit all of us! Whoever, picked that spot is to be congratulated, for in my humble opinion the Black Hills country is ope . of 'America's beauty spots. Montana people are especially In terested, for the Black Hills re gion' Is not far from southeastern ' Montana. It will seem so appro priate to have a president for a neighbor.. From where wo live to the Black' Hills, is about as far as from New York to Chicago. But distance nieans no more to a plainsman than time to a hog. At the Black Hills east and west meet. The towns" are ..beautiful and prosperous, and the people in these, towns are hospitable, home loving people. Hot Springs is a national health resort- Rapid Cfcy.is a paradise for trout fisher men. Even, my friend Henry van Dyke, could be happy here. Dead wood Js a monument to the old ' mining days. At Custer gold was discovered in 1876. Lead is the . home of the largest gold mine in . the world. Belle Fonrche is knpwn for. its giant irrigation dam and Fourth of July tri-state round up. Newell is a gateway from the southwest. At Rapid City, Spear tlbF and Newell there are flour ishing Congregational churches. The t Hbeautlfui Congregational Church at Rapid jl City is nice enough even for a president. I can truly say Jhat these towns are the most hospitable towns that I have ever visited. ' At the Jtapid City touring camp the keeper told us 'thaty for ; nearly,. ,week he had bf en' trying to get a string of trout for our. family and "we were ab solute i .strangers. At' Rapid City I 'had the pleas ure of meeting Yellow Robe, a well ' known Indian chief of that rkiflity. file told me that for un told generations the Sioux had camped - on Rapid. reek, V from which Rapid City takes it name. - One Sunday . evening fully . one thousand people assembled,, in the touring park to hear Yellow Robe describe .the Cusfer massacre. . He declared that Sitting Bull wasrnot present at the massacre, tut vis out on the plains, "mak ing medicine." Yellow.Robe wore an Indian headdress which he. said tTlat his uncle had worn .in the Rattle, agdUiat vjjen fte,ir?3 boy, he had often listened to the story as it was told by the older Indians. "What a pity," he de clared, "that, a great generous America, remembering Custer with monuments and naming communi ties and counties and even a great international highway after him, should be so forgetful as t& over look Sitting Bull, one of the great est Indian chiefs." "Wtiat could be more appropriate," he contin ued, "than to erect a monument to his memory in the Rapid City tourist camp, and even call the place the "Sitting Bull Tourist Camp." If that old chief doesn't adorn himself like the rainbow and cover himself with elk teeth, and plead with the president for a monument to Sitting Bull, then I miss my guess. His two daughters, charming ybung women and ac complished musicians, played sev eral selections on the piano and violin. They had abandoned blanket and feathers for real mod ern dress. Some one said it would take three of their dresses to make a lamp shade. I listened to the beautiful music and meditated: "How times have changed. How much nicer to listen to the sound of that music than to the sound of the razor-sharpened scalping knife swishing through one's straying locks." This favored region offers many other attractions: Wind cave, crystal cave, with miles of weird caverns; Sylvan lake, a gem . of beauty, in the heart of the hills; Harney peak, easily climbed, from the summit of which, on a clear day, one can readily gaze npon the vast Empires of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana; The Needles,' to may mind a unique kand superbly beautiful spot in America, unsurpassed by anything which even Yellowstone park has to offer. We ate our dinner one day in the picturesque lodge which the president now occupies. It has magnificent terraced mountain roads, and only In France and Italy have I seen roads comparable to them; I congratulate the engi neers who made them. Blacktail deer, elk, bear, and buffalo, and innumerable other animals run wild in the great woods, for the reservation is a most secluded wilderness. Down the creek the beavers are building their log bouses. In the depths ot the hills, mountain sheep, mountain goats, lynx, and moun tain lions are found. If a moun tain lion ever chased a president, wouldn't that be something for a mountain lion to roar about? The summer White House is surrounded by. soma. of . the, most beautiful scenery in. the world. It i charmingly situated and set dewn in. a .Teal wonderland of America. Mrs. Coolidge is surely delighted with the beautiful lodge building, the delightfully; pleasant dining room, and the' rose tinted quartz fireplaces.

Sinclair Lewis would find no El mer Gantry In him. On the event ful Sunday in 1876 when Parsoa Smith was going over Deadwoo hill to preach to the people of a near by little settlement he was shot and scalped. What those In dians would have done to Sinclair Lewis is simply conjecture. When Parson Smith's body was brought into Deadwood amid great excite ment, the body was laid out by Calamity Jane and her friend Kitty Newell, the only other wo man in Deadwood.
