unique European organization had
left its centuries-old home in Ger­

Jesef Meier who plays the
‘Christus” is the seventh generation
to portray the character in his
family making a total of 140 years
of continuous presentation.
The story was portrayed on its
permanent stage in the Black Hills
with 3,000 in the cast. Critics from
many eastern newspapers attended
the performance last summer and
wrote much in eulogy of the unique
o' fering. The Chicago Tribune’s
critic’s description of how the 8,000
in the amphitheater sat through
rain to see the play, suggests its
i mpressi veness.
Special student matinees have
been arranged through the Portland
school board, and will be given
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday afternoons. Student tickets
may be obtained through the Port­
land public schools or through

brings the present acreage up to
over 700 acres at the present time.
It was reported that over 5,000
acres of leguminous hay crops were
planted in the county in 1939.
About 2,000 acres of non-crop
pasture land were seeded in 1938,
and about 2,500 acres in 1939 mak­
ing a total of 4,500 acres seeded
during the last two years which
ranges from a few acres on some
of the farms to several hundred
acres on others. This is very mater­
ially increasing the feed for live­
stock in the county.

Mr. J. D. Perry of Deer Island,
chairman of the Land Utilization
’ommittee, re ported on the work
that has been done from time to
ime on this important project since
the lest Outlook Conference. At
that time the land Use problems
were considered by the Livestock
Committee and the Business Com­
mittee. Recommendations were made
at that time that the logged-off
lands be studied and developed for
range and forestry purposes, and
also that the lands -acquired by the
county be redeemed for county
ownersh ip for the benefit of the
people .in the county. This policy
is now being adapted and consider- ■
able w ork has been done on the
seme. At the time of the Outlook
Confei <ence a map was mede of the
county" which was very preliminary
showii >g the agricultural and non-
agricv Jtural lands of the county.
Since that time with the study by
the various local committees, the
lands of the ^county have been
classi fieri in a preliminary way as
to th eir various uses. This study is
being c-ontinued in order to arrive
more ne arly at the facts.
Arran; -foments are being made to
hold a n nmunity meetings through­
out the < ounty to further secure the
opinion of the people in regards to
the vai k us land problems.
