Frank donated three blocks of ground, and presumably there will be an academy here in the future. The aggregate value of church property assembled during the regime of Father Byrne in the several towns in the North Platte valley is approximately $200,000, the greater part of which is at Scottsbluff.

Churches Elsewhere While at Minatare, Morrill, Melbeta, Mc- Grew, Haig, and. Henry, the church has made substantial prgress with the period, it remained for Mitchell to adopt a new order, which in reality is the older order modified.

Back in the younger days of the world the worshiper* of the Deity had such numerous "gods" and "creeds" that the building of "churches" or "shrines" was a tremendous burden. Then they built Pantheons: a single building where the different people could go and worship, regardless of their particular manner of doing so. Mitchell went the old way one better. The good folks there established a Community church with Walter Runden in charge. It has been abundantly satisfactory to the organizers -- this exemplification of the community spirit ; and the Brotherhood here shown still has Rev. Runden for pastor.
