Pioneer Voice Of The Community For Home And I Country VOLUME TWENTY-EIGHT Four Persons Seroiusly Injured in Auto Crash West of Wolf Point Sun. Four persons were quite ser iously injured and two sustained minor injuries when their cars collided on the hill near the Wolf Creek bridge west of Wolf Point at 5:25 Sunday afternoon. A Chevrolet coupe driven by W. B. Wood of Miles City skidded aideways as it came down the hill headed east. It swung laterally across the highway right in front of a Lafayette coupe driven by T. B. Wynn, Supt of the Saco Schools. The collision utterly de molished both vehicles. Passengers in the Wood car were Miss Mary Russell who es caped with serious cuts and bruises, and Mrs. Janies Dunlap, age 76, who was seriously in jured, suffering fractures of the leg both above and below the knee, double fracture of the jaw bone and other serious cuts and bruises. Miss Russell and Mrs. Dunlap reside at Sheffield, Mon tana. Mr. Wood, the driver, re ceived a broken hand, and bad bruises of the leg and body. Mr. Wynn emerged from ,the accident with minor cuts, but his wife was very badly injured, suf fering head and face lacerations and serious body bruises. All with the exception of Mr. Wynn are recuperaing in the Trinity Hospital at Wolf Point where their condition is said to be slight ly improved. Mrs. Dunlap’s con dition is still precarious. The accident was investigated by Patrolman Orrie Woods and by representatives of the Sher iffs office. They said that the accident was unavoidable and due to a film of ice which cov ered the highway at that point.

DuHng this period, Minnesota’s athletic program has been marked by its progressive and far sighted policy and the success of its representatives.

District Judge Frank P. Leiper of Glendive, was a visitor at Wolf Point Tuesday and took the occasion to call on many of his friends. Judge Leiper is rec ognized as one of the most able jurists in the State of Montana and holds an enviable <ecord of decisions upheld in the state Supreme Court. The Seventh Judicial District which is composed of the coun ties of McCone, Richland, Daw- --^-2 Jw WB W*B«. .tag JUDGE FRANK P. LEIPER son and Wibaux are to be con gratulated upon having a man of such outstanding ability pre siding and it is evidenced that the voters appreciate this fact when one reviews the results of the'rtfcent primary election in which the judge received a total of 4,250 votes againt 1,525 polled for his opponent, Mr. Popham. This result brings to the mind of the writer a peculiarity of the present Montana law, that re gardless of the number of votes either candidate received in the primary election, both names will again appear on the ballot for the general election in Nov. Common sense points out that this condition should be cor rected by an amendment to the law so that it would provide that in Judicial districts where there is only one judge to be elected, and where there is more than one candidate for the office, that if one candidate receives a clear ma jority of ell the votes cast in the primary election, that then such person shall be deemed elect ed without the necessity of “run ning two heats” so to speak. When everyone has the oppor tunity of voting in the July pri mary, we can see no reason why they should vote for the office twice, again in November. Here is a point that prospec tive legislatures should make note of and see what can be done dbout it at the session next win ter.

Breaking a halftime 6-6 dead lock, Wolf Point High’s touch down-hungrey Wolves sank their fangs into paydirt four times in the second half to down a tired but ever dangerous conference opponent the Scobey Spartans, 32-12, on the Spartans home field last Friday. The Wolves switched from their power plays of the first half to a razzle-dazzle style in the second half that paid dividends. Scobey opened the evening’s scoring on a sustained drive down the field, featuring Holyk, one of the hardest-driving backs in this part of the state. The conversion attempt was not good, but the touchdown was good for a 6-0 lead at quarter time, in the sec ond quarter Vernie Dumont took a punt from his defensive half back position on the Wolf Point 40 yardline to twist his way through a maze of Scobey play ers to the Scobey 2 yardline where he was knocked out of bounds. On the next play he crashed the line for the tying touchdown. The locals also failed to convert. In the third quarter a crashing tackle by Irish Bryan brought about a Scobey fumble on their 35 following a kickoff return, and Wolf Point recovered. In ex actly three plays the Wolves swept over the Scobey goal line. On a trick pl'ay Cody swept the end for 14. Bryan smashed center for 13. With 8 yards to go, a quick pass from Don Bush man to Dumont crossed up the Scobey defense for the touch down. This time a pass from Dumont to Cody was good for the extra point giving the Wolves a 13-6 lead. An inspired Scobey eleven came back and drove straight down the field. Holyk, hitting a terrific pace dynamited a path through the Wolf Point line to score after about a dozen plays the march starting from his own 40. The try-for-point failed, and the score was 13-12 for the Wolves. Then Wolf Point really opened up. After returning Scobey’s kickoff to their own 43, the Wolves reached down into their bag of tricks and came up with two prize packages. On the first Cody swept right end for 24. After more ‘ball-handling magic Loendorf duplicated around the left side for 30. Weeks smacked left tackle for the tally. The try for-point was no good, Wolf Point 19, Scobey, 12, at the end of the third quarter. In the final heat Don Busihman streaked down the sidelines on a brilliant punt return -to score, but the touchdown was not allowed and a penalty was called” on the Wolves. Fired by the penalty the Wolves shook Bukhman loose on a wide end run, and reversing his field twice he picked up 30 yards to put the ball on the Scobey 3. Weeks hit the line for the touch down. Bushman place-kicked the extra point to bring Wolf Point’s total to 26. The Maroon and White clad gridders counted once more after Cody snaked a pass on the Sco bey 2 and was immediately knocked out of bounds. Blacktail went through guard into the Sco bey end zone to bring Wolf Point’s final total to 32 points. Coach Bohart’s boys showed marked improvetnent in down field blocking to make possible many of the long runs turned in by the fleet ball carriers.

Wolf Point and Poplar To Clash Here Friday Evening When the Wolf Point Wolves meet the Poplar Indians on the local field tomorrow night, more than the annual settling of. an old football rivalry is at stake— for Wolf Point a victory will clinch the Northeastern Division al title and a fifth consecutive playoff against the southeastern winner; for Poplar tomorrow’s game is another chance to end Wolf Point football supremacy in this section and to rack up its first win against the Wolves since 1935. Poplar, out of the championship race, is due to shoot the works tomorrow night in an effort to unseat the defend ing champions. With nothing to loose and everything to gain, Poplar will come on the field ready to go the limit, to uncork trick plays, to take chances and to play desperate football. The Wolves, with one confer ence victory behind them, need only a win over Poplar to retain the championship.

vywn POT ROAST WITH WINE SUGGESTED USE OF ROMA CLARET ADDS ZEST TO AN EVERYDAY RECIPE Use of Wine in Cookery Should Be More Widespread in American Homes Where Delicious Dishes Are Liked, Miss Wynn Says. By KATHRYN G. WYNN I am not running my usual col umn of recipes this week because I particularly want to call your at tention to one thing—the, use es wine in cookery. I believe that the use of wines gen erally, in the average American home, is overlooked. Perhaps because a lot of us were born or raised in prohibi tion times, we never became accus tomed to having wine handy at all times as in European homes where even the most common dishes are treated to a dash of wine just as we use another sauce. So, now that we have available de lightful and delicious American wines, I am writing a suggestion that experi ments of the past few weeks nave brought about. It is, try wine in your next cooking. It is simple to use and adds that extra flavor and makes it "different." I have tried numerous wines and find the Roma wines to be most ex cellent. They are a true American product and there need be no fear that the war will upset their supply. They are made in California and now have reached the point where they are as fine a wine as you can ask. Just to make my point clear I am not suggesting anything elaborate for my first wine recipe. In fact, I am sug gesting a dish put on thousands of I American tables each day. Here it is: POT ROAST Round of venison or veal about 2 inches thick; roll in flour; brown well on both sides in butter; put in iron pot and cover with chopped onion and garlic (1 bud cut fine), 2 table spoons catsup, 1 tablespoon Worcester shire sauce, i to 1 cup Roma claret; add some water and cook slowly until done. Add mushrooms to gravy. WPA Now Training Men in Occupations Needed in Defense Acceptance of workers for training in occupations necessary to national defense industries has begun in Hel ena.

Hundreds of other camps sprang up. Some of these, with much lesser fame, still opened the gates to a more lasting prosperity. Among these was the little camp of Yellowstone City in Emigrant gulch which first held men long enough to give them time to look over the fertile valley of the Yellowstone and later to return and develop the thriving district of which Billings now is the pulsing and grow ing heart. The party which made the first dis covery of paying dirt on the fork of the Yellowstone was made up of Penn sylvanians and composed of David B. Weaver, Frank Garrett and David R Shorthill. Discovery was made Aug. 30, 1864. They were not, however, the first to reach Emigrant gulch as a party headed by Thomas Curry, an Irishman who had come overland from California, was there ahead of them. The Curry party, however, had not discovered gold enough to amount to anything and, to the late comers, went credit for the first big strike. When the Pennsylvanians arrived they found the Curry men had con structed a long string of sluice boxes and their plan was to run a drain ditch down to bedrock In the expec tation of finding pay dirt. Their work was carried on systematically and en" ergetically under the direction of an old California miner named John O. Laird. In spite of their efforts, how ever, the best anyone of them was able to make on this prospecting was about $2 a day. Two dollars a day was, of course, literally starvation wages in a region where flour sold at S2B in gold per sack (about $56 In greenbacks) and other necessities pro portionately expensive. If Indeed at all obtainable. Consequently the attempt to find pay dirt was abandoned and even as the Weaver party arrived at the gulch many of the prospectors were already making preparations to leave. Hopes Rewarded Much as they were disappointed, the newcomers did not lose faith. Weaver, Shorthill and Garrett composed a little party who went farther up the gulch, as they reasoned that they would find gold in larger quantities farther up and that the bedrock would be more accessible. They traveled along through dangerous and torturous places for a distance of about six miles, where they stopped to test the sands. Shorthill struck his shovel into the water and scooped up a couple of shovelfuls of sand and gravel from a ledge and commenced to pan it. The others did the same and after a few moments in silence, they burst out with cries of Joy, for at the bot toms of the pans lay the precious grains in generous quantity. Their demeanor instantly changed from a disappointed, dispirited party to a happy trio, singing and dancing and hugging each other in Joyous ex ultation, as they realized that the object of their long and tedious search was now at hand. Word was immedi ately sent to the men down the gulch and to those who were already on their way to Virginia City, telling them of the strike. These men came back at once and claims were quickly staked out above and below the or iginal or discovery claim. Camp Laws Drafted On Sept. 12, 1864, a miners’ meet ing was called and the district for mally organized. Shorthlll being elect ed recorder. However, as clerical work was not to his liking, he appointed Weaver deputy, which office the latter held until June, 1865, he then vir tually having charge of public affairs until that time. The meeting drafted the laws for the district and among the articles preserved is a photo graphic copy of these laws which read as follows: "Bylaws of Emigrant gulch, Short hlll district.

This copy of the bylaws contains no signatures but the authenticity of the document Is established by a photographic copy of a letter as fol lows: “National Soldiers' Home, "Los Angeles, Calif., "Sept. 12, 1006. "This is to certify that at a miners' meeting held In the Shorthill district in Emigrant gulch, Montana, Sept. 12, 1864, I was elected secretary of said meeting and wrote the above bvlaws but as there was some unfinished busi ness. I did not sign them, but do so now, 42 years later. "W. H. Huckney." Never Met Agata A second meeting of the miners was never held as they were too busy digging gold. Nevertheless, this did not prevent them from participating In governmental affairs, for in Oc tober, 1864, only a few weeks after the discovery in the Shorthill district, an election was held and delegates elected to attend the first territorial convention, held In Bannack, conven ing Sept. 12, 1864, and adjourning Feb. 9, 1865. Unfortunately tne names of these delegates are not obtainable, but no doubt they served their con stituents well at that first memorable convention. So long as the pleasant fall weather prevailed that year, the miners kept busy working their claims. But in the latter part of October, the water in the sluice boxes began to freeze every day and the men were forced to aban don work and seek a more suitable lo cation a few miles farther down the gulch. Here they built cabins and made preparations to spend the winter. At this same time, two Frenchmen, Frank Gin Gin and Augustus Archambeau, brought In a wagon train loaded with provisions and merchandise and opened a large store. They also built a num ber of cabins which were sold and rented to the miners. Named Yellowstone City Thus was founded the first settle ment in the valley. The name given to this little town or mining camp was Yellowstone City. It was built In the shape of a parallelogram. Four streets, running parallel with the gulch, were laid out and bore the names of First street north, Main street. First street south and Second street south, the latter named street being the one alongside the gulch. Between First and Second streets south, along the entire length of the streets, ran a ditch which supplied the city with water. The Intake of this ditch was about two miles up the gulch, and the water was led through the entire length of the town, being returned to the gulch at the lower extremity of Second street south. At four stations through the town, the ditch had been scooped out, causing four deep pools to be formed, which served as reservoirs at such times when the water became very low or the ditch froze solid In winter. The buildings, numbering about 80, were constructed chiefly of unhewn logs, the roofs being covered with pine poles and grass and finished with earth. Two stores, the larger being 20 by 30 feet, a blacksmith shop, a restaurant, and a 20 by 26 foot bunk house, constituted the business houses of the city. Food Prices High During the first winter of 1864-65, food was scarce and sold at exorbitant prices. FUour in sacks of 96 pounds sold for S2B in gold; coffee, $1 per pound; tea, $1.50; sugar, 60 cents per pound, and tobacco, $5 a pound. Smok ing tobacco sold for a while weight for weight with gold, that is, an ounce of tobacco for an ounce of gold. As gold was valued at about $lB per ounce, this made the price of tobacco nearly $390 a pound in gold, or about $550 In greenbacks. Carriers were paid about 37 cents for taking a letter to Virginia City, a little more than 100 miles away, and 75 cents for bring ing one back. The population varied from 300 to 600 Inhabitants, of which perhaps 20 were women and children. Four Frenchmen lived together in the ex treme northeastern comer of the city and were the jolly boys of the camp. Charles H. and Jim Soule, the two men who discovered the supposed “Cinnabar ore,” mine at Cinnabar station on the Northern Pacific rail way near Gardiner, also lived here. Dr. Hull, recorder of the abandoned “Curry district," and his son, Capt. Al Hull, as he was known then, or Hon. J. A. T. Hull, former United States representative for 12 successive terms from lowa, came in later and purchased claims up the gulch but never realized much on the purchases. A Pioneering Picture As a whole, the little settlement was a busy place during the mining sea son. Let us see it as it was in those days of 1864. Long before the sun’s rays peep Into the mountain-girded valley, rises the smoke from the breakfast cooking fires from half a hundred cabins. To and from the flow ing ditch come and go a number of the men, dipping their buckets into the pools, bringing home fresh water for their morning cup of coffee. From the bunkhouse emerge a group of husky, hungry prospectors, striding hastily to tne kitchen or restaurant next door, and hailing the busy cook to find out if their breakfast 13 ready. Across the street from the kitchen, Archambeau, the storekeeper. Is Just opening the store to sell a pick or shovel to some early customer and across the way the blacksmith can be heard hammering away on his impro vised anvil, shaping a bolt or repairing a tire for the stage which leaves that day for Virginia City. Good cheer and rough, good-natured fellowship pre vails all around and everyone is eager to start for the diggings. Morning breaks none too soon, nor does day light last too long for men who have gold at hand, which is theirs for the After breakfast, out they go, carry ing their lunch along. As soon as they reach their various claims, they start their work, pausing only a brief spell to eat their noonday lunch or now and then to examine some ex ceptionally precious find. Thus the day wears on, until the shadows fall over the valley and slow ly creep up the western slopes of the mountains, gradually darkening their pine-clad slopes and finally leaving only their snowy peaks glistening in the evening sunlight. Then it is that the tired men gather up their spoils and return home. Soon the evening meal Is eaten, after which they as semble in groups about the town, light their pipes, or take a chew, if they can afford tobacco, and relate their experiences of the day, and tell en thusiastically of the riches yet to be uncovered. Later the groups gradually break up and the weary souls return to their homes to sleep and dream of the possibilities of the morrow. One Still Remains Such was Yellowstone City in 1864. Of the several hundred Inhabitants which it possessed, only one, George J. Batchelor, still lives on the gulch. Though well along in years, he still continues to prospect at times In this district. In 1911 Weaver came from Pennsylvania to attend a meeting of the Montana pioneers at Butte, and before returning home, made a visit to Emigrant gulch, where he was over joyed to find his old friend, Batchelor, whom he had not seen for 45 years. In the late spring of 1865, Shorthlll and several men were sent to Virginia City to bring In food, especially flour, but because of the bread riot at that Lovely Daffodils Plentiful For Fall Gardening Schedule Since war has Aut off all supplies of bulbs from Holland, we are limited this fall to those hardy bulbs which can be grown in this country, or im ported from countries not blockaded. Of tulips and hyacinths, Holland In the past has supplied us at least 95 percent, so these are the most re duced by the blockade. But of daffo dils, second In popularity to tulips, our entire supply has been grown in this country for the last 10 years, and the supply this fan Is normal In both numbers and price. Many gardeners are taking advan tage of this situation to plant daffo- A Modern Daffodil dlls In their garden borders where others bulbs were formerly used. These plantings win endure for years, in most gardens. There are few locations where daffodils will not live and multiply. They can be left with out lifting until they begin to crowd, then may be taken up and replanted to cover more space. Daffodils are favorite material for those so fortunate as to possess a bit of woodland. They flourish In shaded situations, coming Into bloom under early spring sun before the trees have leaved out, and then the shade pro- place, the traders who were coming to Virginia City with flour from Salt Lake City on their way, feared to go on lest their loads be seized. Conse quently Shorthill had to continue on toward Salt Lake until he met the traders before being able to procure provisions, thus causing much delay at Yellowstone City. Weaver says that before the party returned with the food, he hunted up all the empty flour sacks which had been thrown aside and thoroughly dusted them in order to obtain the few precious spoonfuls of flour cling ing to them. Part of the camp had been out of flour four months and some of the men, in order to relieve their craving for flour foods, con stantlv chewed the pitch or tar which they scraped from the pine and fir trees in the vicinity. But for the abun dance ot wild game, the whole settle ment might have starved out. Camp Now a Memory When food did finally arrive, It caused disastrous results among a number of prospectors, who soon after became ill from the effect of over eating, several dying shortly after ward. Together with this misfortune, mountain fever became prevalent throughout the camp, also causing many deaths. Some 50 men were burled in the little cemetery, one-half mile east of Yellowstone City, where the fallen tombstones with partially legible Inscriptions are aU that mark the final resting places of those early pioneers. 7 The city was abandoned in the spring of 1866 because ot the shortage of food and danger from the Indians.

Another most effective practice is to tuck in bulbs in vacant spots all over the garden between other per ennials and under the edges of shrub bery so -that In their season the daffo dils give character to the entire garden, and then their leaves, which are unsightly and floppy during their maturing period, are concealed by the foliage of the perennials which mount above them and provide shade for the daffodils. For this purpose the older and cheaper daffodils and narcissi are Ideal and furnish as fine an ef fect as can be obtained by the larger flowered and much more expensive modern hybrids. Some of them are delightfully frag rant and are prized for this feature as well as their beauty. The narcissus family offers the first long-stemmed cutting material of spring. They are Ideal cut flowers, as Is shown by the qualities of daffodils forced and sold by florists each winter. The trumpet varieties are easily grown as nouse plants, provided only that the atmos phere is not too dry, In which case buds often blast.

He said that extension of the park season from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, facilitated by improved highways, will promote late traveL In addition to national parks, Allen has supervision of state park work being done with federal assistance. He pointed out that Morrison Cave state park In Jefferson county, de veloped the last few years but with work still to be done, Is already pay ing dividends to the state and is draw ing increased numbers of visitors. He mentioned the possibility that the Custer battle site in the Big Hom country in Montana might be made a state park. Allen’s territory covers 14 states and part of Utah. The states are Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Indiana, Mis souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyo ming and Montana. “The potential value of the tourist business Is enormous," the regional director said. "It helps a state build and maintain its highways. -It con tributes to many lines of business and directly benefits the entire community.

Now that Japan has reached its historic agreement without doubt that the Nipponese will have a freer hand in developing their ventures southward in East Asia and in the South Pacific. It ap pears from every day news releases that this freer hand is involv ing the United States deeper and deeper, regardless of our wishes in the matter. Recent embargoes by our nation of which are necessary if we are to maintain our stand for the democracies, might give the Japs the excuse they look for, if they wish to move against the United States. Some authoritative sources claim that the war is ever draw ing nearer, and may reach us within a matter of days. The intentions of the Japanese toward East Asia have daily be come more evident. Successes of the axis powers will spur them on in their efforts of domination. The Japanese have proclaimed their readiness to close the Burma road by means of aerial bombs despite Great Britains move to keep the road open to China. All this warfare is bound to throw an ever tightening web of circumstances around our nation. Of course, the battle fleet of the United States is in Pacific waters where it exercises some influence upon Japanese actions. It will continue to do this until Germany and Italy create a threat against the United States in the Atlantic Ocean If this occurs, the United States will probably require the presence of the fleet closer to the continent and its withdrawal from the Pacific will encourage Japanese aggression and hasten them to move against us if they wish to do so. In the face of all this, it becomes most evident that our aid to Great Britain must be hastened and be done with great expendiency if we are to preserve their fleets protection for us in the Atlantic. We must keep the British active in the Atlantic if we are to keep our fleet policing our interests in the Pacific. Only in this way, doing c-erything short of war—can we hope to avoid actual conflict. ONE PUBLISHER’S LAMENT The problem of collecting (accounts receivable is probably not vastly different in the newspaper ‘business than that which applies to most other lines of business. If there is a difference it likely applies to a more vocal attitude on the part of those who make up the list of the newspaper’s subscribers and customers. Be that as it may, quite a few not engaged in publishing enterprises can fully ap r.-ciate the following account printed editorially in the Miles City Star of some subscriber reactions to that newspaper’s campaign to clear up some delinquent accounts: Some time when we haven’t much else to do we are going to examine statistics on insane institutions to see just how many editors there are in them. There must be a lot of the ones who have the nerve to try to handle subscription accounts. It seems whatever you do is wrong especially when you try to collect. Recently we took some rather ancient statements for Weekly or Daily Star and rather pointedly suggested to the debtors that we could use the money for such taxes as social security, unemployment, federal capital stock, state income, state corporation license, state store license, and federal income, to say nothing of the old reliable county and city taxes. If half of the letters which were supposed to have been sent us directly on the date of expiration, and which we never received, went to the dead letter office at Washington, the reverse side of them could be used for writing material to keep all the new deal propoganda agencies going for the next fifty years. If a third of the telephone calls and personal visits matured, as is now claimed our office would have the present war department looking like a two-table bridge party, by comparison. The arguments we received gave us a laugh even if the neces- OUR DEMOCRACY by Mat WHATS A MAN WORTH W Ifc&P JL lA^NCIENT GREEKS WERE SOLD AS SLAVES- MWIMU -^x e x ®y iHkJ Z K^anMarW |P]ILGRIM FATHERS HAD LITTLE CASH OT/I THEIR WEALTH WAS |VViHEN GREAT GRANDPA SET OUT LARGELY GUN, AXE,CABIN.

Thursday, October 17, 1940 Quantrell’s Men Were Wild- V V V V VW A wvwa w sa nw /Y Helena Gun Fight Before They Could Obtain Their Revenge; Threw Crew Overboard and Then Impressed Minstrel Troupe to Do Work and Entertain Outlaws and Passengers at Night; Met Expenses by Doing a Regular Commercial Business While Traveling Up and Down the River By WILCHEY In the old steamboating days on' the Missouri river there were seen some strange looking craft plying between the outposts of civilization in lowa and Missouri and the head of navigation at Fort Benton, the gateway to the enchanted lands of gold that lay in the mountains beyond. Queer old river boats from many a far Inland stream found their way to the Mississippi and then up the Missouri, carrying adventurers from the ends of the earth, lured to the gold camps by the chances offered all comers for a quick fortune. As word of the discovery of yellow metal in the Montana mountains spread, the motley procession of goldseekers be gan toward the new frontier, and a queer assemblage they made, cast to gether by chance. Every boatload of passengers that eame up the Missouri had its assort ment of types and characters. There was the honest youth from the farm, whose frank and open face and guile less demeanor bespoke his inexperi ence of the ways of the world. There was the middle-aged man, broken, perhaps by a series of misfortunes, setting his face westward with a grim determination to stake all on a last gamble with fate in the mountain gulches. Then there were to be found In every company the type of men who lived by their wits—keen eyed, usually somewhat quiet and reserved in man ner, men whose business it was to know human nature and to profit by their knowledge. These were the gam blers, who were legion in the west in those days. Besides these there were the out and-out bad men—whose philosophy of life was to get gold with the least effort, but to get it by fair means or foul. It was this type that made up the desperate band of road agents who terrorized the camps and the trails of Montana until a few deter mined men Invoked the hemp and the gallows to check their career of murder and pillage. No Stranger Crew Of all the companies of adventurers who made the trip to the gold camps of Montana by river, there probably was no more oddly assorted crew than that aboard the southern river steamer Richmond, which docked at Fort Benton July 28, 1867, after a trip that had its start on the Red river in Louisiana. Manned by a band of des peradoes who were as black-hearted pirates as ever sailed the Spanish main and walked their victims from a plank, the mission of the Richmond was not to carry passengers and sup plies to the gold camps of Montana. The men on board had a more sinister purpose. It was one of revenge and death. The beginning of the romance of the steamer Richmond came in reality at the end of the Civil war, when, with the south defeated, Quantrell’s guerillas—desperate fighters and the dread of the northern border—split up into small groups. Some of them disbanded and others sought further adventure in other lands under for eign flags. One of these bands of Quantrell’s men, headed by a notorious character known as Fanner Peale, headed south into Mexico to take service under the banner of Maximilian, who had pro claimed himself emporer of Mexico and sought to conquer the country. But before Peale and-his men of the Quantrell band had a chance to see active service Maximilian’s reign came to a sudden end with his execution, and his army was left adrift and in a precarious condition. Double-Crossed Peale and his fellow soldiers of for tune returned to the United States, landing In Texas, where they soon be came Involved In lawless depredations and robberies that made them out laws and put a price on their heads. Soon strife arose among them, and it is alleged that Farmer Peale, as their leader, double-crossed the rest and made off with money that should have been divided among them. Worse than that, they claimed, before deserting them, he conspired to have his fol lowers captured by the federal and state authorities, hoping in this man ner to end all chance of future trouble with them. But his plans went amiss and all managed to evade the law and effect their escape. Peale was a noted gunman, des perate and absolutely fearless, but In these qualities the men In his band were mostly hls equals, and when they found that they had been betrayed by Peale, they took an oath that they would follow him so long as one man of them survived, and that his life should be the forfeit of his treachery. Before many weeks had passed, word reached them that Peale had gone to Montana. At once they decided to follow him, and the plan of action decided upon was characteristic of these desperate adventurers. On the Red river, whicn flows from Texas down through Louisiana, they found a sizeable, light draft river boat, the Richmond. This they seized one night at its moorings, an<l getting up steam, started down the river toward the Gulf of Mexico. Negro firemen and deckhands were impressed into I -Welcome Everywhere 13 B /XdntXX because it's AM I TWW7" “CHEERFUL I g AS ITS I /|l| v 1^ I I This whiikey is Je^ SSSS II 3 4 YEARS OLD I*o 1 1 I nrn»c O.mJ* 7 OJLD 1 SIJNHYBROOK KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 1 3 National Dlatillen Prodeeta Corporation, New York 3 Head work Won Big Billings Race For Mac Crandall in 1911 When He Shared Roadwork With Horse When Pirates Sailed Missouri -.W'• i* ■:-W.I 1 ft ''i' 5 --Ar® .XWHS v In a Steamer Such as This a Wild Band of Former Quantrell Men Sailed Up the Missouri Doing as They Wished and Searching for Former Leader Whom They Wished to Kill for Double-Crossing Them. service, and as they proceeded down stream they made their craft pay its way by carrying passengers and freight from town to town. In the course of time they reached the gulf and then retraced their way back up the Mis sissippi, headed for the Montana gold camps. In the summer of 1867, H. J. Wack erlln of Fort Benton, then a youth of 17, was living with hls parents at St. Joe, Mo. Almost daily he had seen the boats going and coming between St. Louis and Fort Benton, and he had met and talked with many frontiers men who had wonderful stories to tell of the Rocky mountains and the wealth they contained. Being a boy of spirit, hls Imagination was fired by these stories and he determined to seek hls fortune In the far west. He saved his money toward the purchase of passage up the river. One day a river steamer docked at the wharf at St. Joe, westward bound, and young Wackerlln strolled down to the river to look It over. The men who came ashore looked different from ordinary river men and attracted his Interest. He got Into conversation with the captain, who gave hls name as Miller, and to him the boy con fided hls ambition to reach Montana. Captain Miller offered to take him as a passenger, and a bargain was struck for passage to Fort Benton for $l3O. The next day they cast off and the boat continued on Its way up the Missouri. Wackerlln a Crack Shot At first the boy had no idea of the character of the men who composed the crew of the Richmond. He round on board passengers, who, like him self, had engaged passage to Fort Benton, and some of these became life-long friends. One was the late Peter Vallton of Deer Lodge, for half a century a leading merchant of Powell county. Young Wackerlln was a crack shot with a rifle, and hls marksmanship won the admiration of Captain Miller and hls crew of desperadoes. The lik ing they took to him on this account served to make hls stay aboard the steamer far pleasanter than It might otherwise have been. As he became acquainted with the men of the Richmond, he gradually learned their history. At almost every landing on the river where they stopped they went ashore for a de bauch, but hard drinkers and des perate characters as they were, they never treated Wackerlln other than in the most friendly and considerate manner, nor did they insist on his joining them in their revels. Later, when as he looked back at the trip they seemed in memory a strange, picturesque crew, with rough humor to temper the evil In their natures. In liquor they were brutal and quar relsome, and one day they drove all of their negro deckhands overboard after much abuse. Took Over Minstrels After the loss of their deckhands, the crew reached a small town where a band of traveling minstrels were giving a performance for the enter tainment of the populace of a little river settlement. Captain Miller, who was a good deal of a humorist and was possessed of a suave and per suasive manner, Induced the minstrels to take passage on the Richmond for •a town higher up the river, but after the boat had cast loose the actors found themselves Impressed Into serv ice In the capacity of deckhands, which enforced labor they performed for the rest of the trip. At night they entertained the guerillas and passen gers with music and recitations. At Mandan, N. D., there was a big Indian council, several tribes having Eered for a pow-wow with the mlll authorltles, and the Richmond up there while the crew and pas sengers went ashore to take In the proceedings. Thereafter, when In hls cups, Captain Miller would regale the people on the steamer with a realistic Impersonation of an Indian chief ad dressing the council. After Peale’s Life But the QuantreU men never forgot the main purpose of the expedition, and as they neared Montana their hoped-for revenge on Farmer Peale was uppermost In their minds. Among themselves they discussed the treat ment Peale should receive at their hands when they had captured him, and how he should be put to death. Arrived at the mouth of the Judith river, they tied up the boat and sent one of the band ahead to Fort Benton to learn if Peale was there, and ft not, where he had gone. In a week’s time the messenger returned to re port that word had been received at Benton to the effect that Peale had been killed in a gambling house fight at Helena only a few days previous to the arrival of the messenger at Benton. A council of the QuantreU men was held and they determined to go ahead with the boat and confirm the report of Peales killing. Arrived at Fort Benton they had verbal con firmation of the report, and they then entered upon a wild debauch, broke up some of the gambling games and terrorized the town for several days. Before starting down the river they pushed on to Helena to make abso lutely certain that Peale was dead and buried. Having done so. they re turned to Benton, took their steamer and set out down the river. By the time they had arrived at Sioux City the federal authorities were on their trail. They abandoned the Richmond and struck out overland for Idaho. There they lived for a time the life of road agents and outlaws, some of their number being killed. Some of them went to Cheyenne and opened a gambling house. Captain Miller finally went to Quantrell’s ranch In Texas, where he later died of tuberculosis. THE HERALD-NEWS Pirated a Steamer and Set Out After Farmer Peale when They Thought He Had Double-Crossed Them; Sailed Down Missis sippi and Back Up Missouri to Montana Looking for Him to Kill and Torture Him Until They Discovered He Had Died in Quite some piece of time ago, in fact Just during the days a Greek named Ulysses was conning his skull for the idea that gave birth to the Trojan horse we hear so much about today, the Greeks decided to take a day off from tire war business against Troy and hold a chariot race. Now Ulysses was the smartest Greek in the army but, he was not the wisest. There was a difference be tween smartness and wisdom, even then. Ulysses could outslicker the country competition and even was good enough to make his wife, Pene lope, think he batted around the coun try with sirens and nymphs a score of years before coming home because he couldn’t help it. But, there was an other gent named Nestor who really gave deep thought to things and knew how to read an ace in the' hole. It was Nestor to whom Ulysses went for sound counsel when he got in a jam. And, his consultation .with Nes tor on the day of the race event re sulted in a nifty by Nestor which has survived the ages. “They don’t always pay bets on the favorite and the horse first under the wire collects," Nestor said in effect. He didn’t think, it is believed gen erally, that many centuries later an other gent named Mac Crandall, now a Billings barber, would get the thought wave he had originated and act on it. But Mac did. Plan Big Race Billings citizens, headed by John D. Losekamp, decided that, as part of the 1911 Fourth of July celebration, they would hold a two-day 216 mile horse race to test the stamina of horses bred in Montana and Wyoming. The course was from the Billings city hall to Lavina and back, twice. Mac looked at the entries, sized up the course and picked a little bay stallion called Muggins, for his part ner. As later shown, and admitted by Crandall, the horse was willing be cause It knew, from the start, It would not have to do all the work. Which gave Muggins an edge in the begin ning. You see, Crandall figured that all the other riders would be Just that— riders. They would ride all the way and the horses would have to do the work. So, reasoned Mac, suppose I give Muggins a break and train right along with him. When he gets tired I then can get off and walk and, he’ll take a rest while the other horses are wearing themselves out. So, Mac and the horse went into training, Mac practicing walking along beside the horse and Muggins practicing going strong only when mounted. Teddy Favorite The favorite for this event was Teddy, a brown stallion from Cody, Wyo., that had previously won the 500-mlle race from Evanston Wyo., to Denver. Thousands of dollars were wagered on the well known and ex perienced cross-country mount, and it was a disappointment when the horse refused to leave the stable In Lavina for the last lap of the grind. The pacesetter for the early part of the contest was Brownie, owned by E. B. Ryan, Billings stockman, that quit 15 miles from the finish line. The second-place winner of the first day’s journey from the city hall to Lavina and back was Goldbug, a game little sorrel owned by John McLeod of Absarokee. This horse was able to nose out Daily by a desperate leap as the two passed under the wire at the end of the race. Daily was one of the few horses owned by hls rider, Raymond Lowe, a cowpuncher from Custer who never led hls mount but maintained a con sistent pace to grab third money. Another cowboy in the competition was Bob Chadwick of Miles City whp,- with Chub, was several hours behind the winner. Walt Lee entered Ribbons but she became sick near Painted Robe, 35 miles out, the first day of the race, and was back in the stable before the contest was really under way. Brief Glory Morris Ranger, who was riding Oak No. 2, owned Dy Hardy Bros., Billings stockman, decided that If he could not win the race, at least he could enjoy a moment of glory. Hls steed stood up all right the first day but 20 miles out on the second decided that she had done enough walking. Ranger waited until 4 p. m. and then rode back to the city amid cheers of victory. Just before ne checked In at the city hall, he announced that hls horse had been disqualified hours before. Teddy entered the race highly tout ed as an easy winner. Two hundred and sixteen miles would b? duck soup to a horse that had outrun all com- S:tltion over a 500-mlle stretch. Tex olm, its owner, had previously ex hibited both the horse and its rider In Billings on a tour to boost Cody as an entrance to Yellowstone park. Little serious thought was given to Muggins, owned by John Conway, who picked the horse from hls livery stable as hls entry In the race. It was a small 6-year-old animal weighing only 850 pounds, and the rider, Mac Cran dall, then 33 years old, was small, too. Hls weight at the start of the grind was 127 pounds, and before the race was over he had lost 17 pounds of that. Testa Course A month before the start of the horse marathon, Crandall, who was breaking In horses for H. M. Ramsey In Billings, started training himself and the beast. Late in June he wound up the road work by testing Muggins over 108 miles of the course. When the race started Mac put hls theory Into operation. To help hls animal, he dismounted and ran along side his charge up and down all the hills. This was allowed by the rules, and the popular story Is that Mac ran half of the 216 miles. He denies this and estimates that hls road work was not more than 50 or 60 miles. There were three checking stations In addition to city hall. One was at the 20-mlle mark, another at Broad view, and the third at Lavina. Here the horses were watered, and at La vina they were fed. Muggins was pretty much of an also-ran the first day, because Cran dall was taking it easy. He had been a Jockey In his youth, and had won a 100-mile race in Madison county 11 years before by outsmarting 14 other riders. Practically all his life had been spent around corrals and he knew his horses. After covering the first half of the 216 miles the first day he was too sick to eat. He slept with his horse In a Billings stable and was off early the next morning with two lemons for nourishment. No Riding Clothes Crandall did not dress like a range rider. He wore regular shoes and trousers, while most of the other com petitors wore the usual cowboy boots and breeches. As far as Mac was concerned, he might just as well have put boots and chaps on the horse, because he figured on doing his share of the trotting too. When the others began to follow Crandall’s strategy they learned that they were dressed for riding, not foot racing. When Lavina was reached the sec ond day of the race the other men stopped only 10 minutes to feed and water their horses and then started their desperate dash to the city hall. ’Crandall was In no hurry. He rested his horse for an hour and 10 minutes before starting the return journey. Not once In the long Journey did Mac think that he would lose. Before leaving Lavina he stopped to tele phone his boss, Conway, and calmly announced that he was In last posi tion, but if Muggins did not go lame, he would win the race. The imperturbable Crandall then started on the last lap. The other horses had begun to wilt under the heat and the enormity of their task, but his bay stallion was fresh and willing. One by one he passed the other plodders and finally the leaders who had been an hour and 10 minutes ahead when he was telephoning. Three miles from the finish line, Muggins showed his heels to Goldbug and Dally while Mac yelled his chal lenging greeting. The pace at which the others were traveling can be estimated by Mac's finishing 29 minutes ahead of his nearest rivals. Ten miles outside the city limits, 75 Impatient horsemen greeted the galloping Muggins and paced him to the steps of the city haD. Wins SSOO Purse Here the judges, John Ramsey, Bud Littlepage and Gerald Patton, present ed Mac with the purse of SSOO as the first-place winner. The other two erizes which were decided by the 12- ich advantage that Goldbug had over Dany were S3OO and S2OO. This SI,OOO had been raised by popular subscrip tion in BUlings. Bettors who had placed their money at long odds on Muggins, and scores of others who had taken Teddy against the field, showered Crandall with gifts and cash. The prize money had been spilt with Conway, but the rider was Sampling “is the process of obtaining from a lot of ore a smaller quantity that contains, in unchanged percentages, all the con stituents of the original lot”—U.

All that he has left of the results of his feat are a pair of snurs. Muggins’ peak of glory was even more short-lived. He returned to the livery stable and was soon sold to haul a delivery wagon. Crandall could not bear to see such a stout-hearted horse doing menial work, so he ar ranged to buy the animal. This was a year after the race and the horse was then 7 years old, but Mac felt that Muggins had earned a pension. He put it out to rove the range at Garvin basin until the animal died 20 years later. Mac Crandall was born in Virginia City when It was a hell-roaring min ing town. He early interested himself in horses but learned the bartering trade. He has made his living breaking in colts, training horses, and at the crest of his prosperity, owned a racing string. Today he divides his time be tween his Montana avenue barter shop and his corral on the north side, where he rents saddle horses. In spite of the fact that Crandall has ample opportunity to tell of his exploits to customers in the barter chair and equestrians who rent his string of mounts, few in recent years have heard the tale of Crandall’s 216- mlle jaunt. The man who was at one time the best known horseman in the northwest modestly nurtures the mem ory of his most remarkable achieve ment. A dilapidated photograph of Mug gins used to hang in the beer hall next to the barber /shop. But now the race is all but forgotten, and the picture of the stalwart Hamlltonian bred horse has been placed out of sight. Perhaps one reason why little is generally known about the endurance race was because of the tragic results of the shorter women’s contest. After this race, the owners were ashamed to tell of the condition of the mounts which had traveled over most of the course at full speed. It Is widely ac cepted that five horses died during or shortly after the race, but the names of only four of these are known. The route, which actually measured 53 miles, passed through Billings three times during the day. The horsewomen left the city hall at 8 a. m. on the Fourth and 1 headed for a Hesper farm five miles west. They returned through the city and followed the road east to the Dove ranch, near the Huntley bridge. The last stretch was the return to Billings. Although 14 registered for the race, 13 unlucky horses entered, and before a full day had elapsed, almost half of that number was dead. The winner was Eunice Scott, who rode Doc Meyers, covering the distance in the fast time of 4 hours and 17 minutes. Only three other mounts finished— Buttermilk, with Marguerita Enochs up; Nailer, ridden by Mrs. S. E. With am of Pompey’s Pillar, and Red Bird, with Amanda Jones up.

A OCTOBER 14. 1940 (2) Fletcher's Highway Markers Get Praise Of Eastern Writers Montana’s historical markers—placed by the state highway department at historical spots—have received recog- I nition from two nationally known writers. D. A. McKinnon, state highway en gineer, said Lewis Gannett, columnist for the New York Herald Tribune and Bernard De Voto, columnist for Har per's magazine, both praised the markers—the handiwork of R. H Fletcher, traffic engineer for the de- partment. Fletcher's markers, written in west- ern vernacular, received high praise I from De Voto, who said the wording was "salty” and imparted the feeling Montana pioneers were “of the com mon clay. 1 Gannett, writing a brief sketch of Fletcher’s history, termed the markers the “tangiest” in the United States Since the two articles appeared the department has received more than I 30 letters from various sections in the nation, asking for mimeographed copies of Fletcher’s marker descrip- j tlons. McKinnon said De Voto suggested Fletcher’s work was of such a high auallty that he be “employed in a ke capacity by other states.” Be a Careful Driver The Cattle Mart Where to Buy THE BEST BREED POLLED Herefords They do their own dehorning—4oo head for sale per year—Truck service any place.

Montana’s first direct financial improvement resulting from war preparedness came recently when the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. ordered an increase in wages due to the rise in the price of cooper because of war demands. Wages in the mines, mills, smelters and re fineries of the Anaconda company in Montana were advanced 25 cents a day for all classes of labor. Minimum wages for underground work In the Butte mines now is $6 a day. The pay for contractors in the mines, which exceeds the minimum rates, was adjusted accordingly. Salaried employes 'receiving $350 a month or less are being paid the usual advance of $6.25 per month, corres ponding with the 25 cents per day raise in miners’ wages. Under the contract between the Anaconda company and the various unions of Its employes, wages advance 25 cents a day when the p ice of copper advances to Hi cents a pound and maintains an average of that price or better for a period of 30 con secutive days Copper reached Hi cents a pound on Sept. 6 last. Three days later it again dropped below Hi cents and for about 10 days hovered around Hi and 11% cents. On Sept. 18 it was agiin quoted at Hi cents and on Sept. 24 it jumped to 12 cents a pound, a quotation which has been maintained to date. This brought the average price for the 30-day period above Hi cents a pound and accounts for the advance in pay. The price of copper ranged down ward during the early part of the year. The $5.75 wage in the mines had been effective since March 4 last when the price of copper had been below 111 cents for a 30-day period. The price continued to go down until on June 15, it reached 10} cents. Since that time the price has been gradually firming to the present quotation of 12 cents.

Come September and Mr. McKenzie presented a bill for SIOO for dogs deceased. The city council stood aghast. However, Mr McKenzie is an honest man. There was no ques tioning his Integrity. The council paid. It did not rescind Its action. It did however, decide that in tHe future^ Chief of Police Harold M Mady should make an official count with the pound master and that Fire Chief Thomas Gordon should assist. Means of keeping tab was to be the tails of the exter minated bone polishers Wails went up from the heads of the police and fire departments. Had they studied public protection for years to finally gain the eminence of count ing the tails of defunct fidos? Not bv a dan) sight! Let McKenzie do his own counting! The council held firm. Mr McKen zie held firmer. With each doe going down the street waving a $1 bill over his stern what chance did he have to escape the blandishments and rope of the pound master? About as much chance as a turpentined hound in a forest fire has of escaping the blaze. Came October. Chief Mady and Chief Gordan gathered with Mr. McKenzie at the pound. Solemnly and with due reverence for the occasion, Mr. McKen zie laid out the dog tails for official THE HERALD-NEWS provements at the only two armed forts in the state—at Fort Missoula and Fort Harrison.

Hospital care for Montana resi dents through payment of a “fixed periodical fee” appeared possible when the Hospital Service Associa tion of Montana filed articles of incorporation. Organized without capital, the association listed as trustees 13 persons prominent in state medical circles. In brief, the setup will take care cf hospital expenses for persons who par ticipate. Cost to the person will consist of small, periodical payments. Dr. T. L Hawkins of Helena, one of the trustees, explained that the association merely provides machinery making possible “hospital insurance” for the average person. Any group may share in hospital in surance, although persons as indi viduals may not, trustees said. The group may consist of any or ganization or club such as a fraternal, civic, church, industrial or other or ganism. Although actual costs have not been determined, estimates place the regu lar payment at about $1 a month. Trustees include: President, J. C. Shields, Butte; vice president, Milo F. Dean, Helena; secretary, Josephine E. Stout, Great Falls; assistant secre tary, W. H. Rex, Butte; treasurer, Fred L. Morris, Bozeman; assistant treas urer, Sister H. Linus (Harrington), Butte, and T.

HEADS UNDERWRITERS J. R. Carmichael of Billings was elected president of the Montana Fire Underwriters association, succeeding W. G. Bloomdahl of Great Falls, at the organization's annual meeting at Hotel Rainbow In Great Falls. Car michael was advanced from vice presi dent, being replaced by Larry T. Dir inger of Great Falls, retiring secretary treasurer. Malcolm McLelland of Hel ena was named secretary-treasurer. Many American products are being Introduced Into Brazil. count. Ten —twenty—thirty and on went the record, each tail carefully exhibited to show that the poundmas ter was collecting on the slmon pure article and not, as another pound master once reputedly did —on tails, made to order by the Indians on Hill 57 of horsehair and carpet nap. By the time the count was finished at 210 tails (210 dollars as well), both of the chiefs were ready to quit and take up tatting. They were men of iron nerve accustomed to battling des perados or fearful flames but, not 210 unrefrlgerated dog tails. They certi fied the count and Chief Gordon or dered the tails burned. To the city council went the report. The sum was doubled with a tan spot thrown in. City officials quit. To date there has been no rescind ing of the dollar order but the aider men keep one ear attuned to the dog pound and one eye on the city treas- UI Mr McKenzie is happy. “All I want now is an Icebox in which to keep the tails,” he stated. “11l pay half of the purchase price or half the rent Nothing like giving the city a break." he added. There is only one catch so far as Mr McKenzie Is concerned. He wishes dogs were not the only animals on which there was a bounty. ■■l jut month the take included 106 cats (alley); one cat (pole); one weasel, two porcupines and two rattlesnakes. In addition I gave 12 dogs to people in the country who came to the pound '"/have on hand 12 dogs which have not been de-taUed.

The victim of his assault, Helen Lam bert, 18, who was struck by a beer bottle which Lambert hurled at an unidentified man in a fight at the Palace night club, has been dismissed from the Deaconess hospital. BUTTE—Crews of WPA workers to taling 240 men have begun work on Butte’s $156,000 airport improvement program, one of 12 national defense projects approved for Montana at a total cost of $1,560,000. The work calls for removal of 800,000 cubic yards of earth to fill a gully which cuts across one section of the landing field. When the fill is completed, probably about March, runways can be lengthened to permit landings and takeoffs by huge army bombers and other large planes. SPUDS TO ARGENTINE A shipment of five carloads of cer tified seed potatoes left Dillon re cently for New Orleans, where they will be loaded on a freighter bound for Argentina. The shipper was the Irvine Cotton farm near the city, largest grower of certified seed po tatoes in the northwest. The firm has been shipping seed potatoes to the Argentine for the past several years, but the 1940 consign ment is the largest to date. The “spuds” are shipped in spe cially constructed octagonal crates holding 110 pounds. Digging of the predicted record crop of 200 carloads of potatoes has been delayed by September’s rains, it was stated by W. L. Irvine, and the tubers have continued to grow with the re sult that some of them cannot be classed as No. 1 seed potatoes. It Is estimated that during 1939 mo tor vacation travel reached an all-time high of $5,000,000,000. OLD MR.

PIONEER SISTERS LIVE IN CARBON SEVEN CAME TO MONTANA DUR- ING FRONTIER TIMES Six of Seven SUH Are Living and Have Watched State Grow From Wilder ness to Prosperous, Modern Empire. These crisp fall days bring back many a memory to a group of Carbon county women—sisters— who are reminded of their arrival in Montana territory more than 50 years ago in the faU of the year. There were seven Hobbs sisters who came to Montana In the eighties. Six of them are alive. Four are living in Carbon county. One of the sisters, Clara Hobbs, married J. R. Barclay of Billings in 1891. Their romance, which started in their old home of La Crosse, Wis., brought marriage in Montana after Barclay’s arrival, six months following that of his bride-to-be. Barclay, a re tired farmer and teamster, has lived In Billings the last few years. For merly he had farms in Carbon county and worked at various occupations during early days In Montana. Mrs. Barclay now lives in Joliet. Another sister is Mrs. Dick Grewell of Joliet, the third is Mrs. Harry Duf field of Joliet, the fourth is Mrs. Mil ton Potter, now of Seattle; the fifth is Mrs. Herb Roberts of Edgar, the sixth is Mrs. Fred Duffield of Mont- Aqua. The seventh sister, Mrs. William Barclay, Is dead. Harry Duffield, William Barclay and Fred Duffield are dead. Potter is a former Carbon county sheriff. Fred and Harry Duffield, brothers, married two of the Hobbs girls and William and J. A. Barclay, brothers, married two others. J. A. Barclay had the unusual ex perience of sleeping on the dirt floor of a barn at Stage ranch, Joliet, with “Liver-Eating” Johnson a few days after Barclay's arrival in Montana. Johnson, whose reputation as a tough was sustained by many an adventure with Indians during the days when the tribes were yet untamed, was, ac cording to Barclay, a man of high principle and "a splendid type of gen tleman.” But, says Barclay, there was no denying Johnson, who was past middle age then, was one of thehardl est of the frontiersmen. ,To Send Sugar Beet Display Through State A display showing sugar beets from seeds to sugar, sponsored by Mon tanans, Inc., which has been exhibited at three Montana fairs and a reclama tion meeting, will be shown through out the state this fall. The display now Is in Great Falls, where Dan P. Thurber, agricultural development agent for the Great Northern railway, is arranging with company agents for other showings. Statistics taken from the display show Montana’s 1940 crop of sugar beets will amount to 1,050,000 tons produced on 86,000 acres. Growers will receive approximately $7,035,000, on the basis of $7.60 a ton, and the value of the beet tops, at $1.25 a ton, is esti mated .at $1,312,000. Railroads will be benefited by $3,- 010,000 revenue, and $2,016,700 will be paid to labor. Scorpion Found Are the warm weather Insects and animals starting to move northward? C. H. Hancock of the science de partment of Great Falls high school thinks It might be possible following discovery of a scorpion in a gravel pit in Box Elder park near the Missouri river by Bob Carter who was working there. The science teacher stated that black widow spiders and homed toads are often found north of their usual habitats and that the scorpion may have moved northward naturally.

A newspaper has absolutely nothing else to sell but space; it is from revenue from the space that the pay-roll must; be met and all other expenses of pro ducing the newspaper. Too many folks, unthinking ly perhaps, send in notices or ask us to give space for “doings” which is strict advertising for such "doings”, and nothing else but In our classified section we have provided a heading— Notices” under which advertis ing may aippear at the small cost of only lc per word, and we ask that all govern themselves ac cordingly. Write the copy as you wish it to appear, count the words and enclose the amount necessary to pay for the same. We hope those concerned will not get the wrong slant on this. The Herald-News is perfectly willing to contribute to any worthy cause or benefit, but we prefer to do so in the same man ner that other business institu tions do. TRUCKERS ATTENTION!

Sterling, extension agent for Roosevelt county since July 1937 has resigned to accept an appointment in the state of Oregon to work on land use planning. Sterling, whose resignation was effective October 14 will be succeeded in Roosevelt county by Raymond Kelly, now an as sistant extension agent. Kelly is a graduate of Montana State College and joined the extension service in July 1939. He has had a wide range of experience in extension activities in the state, working more recently in Yel lowstone and Wibaux counties. The position which Sterling has accepted came to him as a direct result of the excellent piece of county agricultural plan ning work he has done in the comparatively short time he has been in Roosevelt county. So thoroughly has the agricul tural planning work been done in Roosevelt County that it is one of two counties in the state to be designated a unified county.

Thursday, October 17, 1940 The Ins izp arables^ Copyright 1H0: By News Syndicate Co., Inc. A Confession of Love Almost Breaks Up a Lifelong Friendship IN TWO PARTS—PABT ONE Washington, D. C„ is a city fan tastic and fey as becomes the Cap itol of a nation which has been governed by the winners of local and national popularity contests for the 157 years of its existence. To Washington come the success ful candidates for offices within the gift of the people from that of the presidency to membership in congress. They come from, every part of the nation and from every walk of life and they bring or send for the friends they can ap point to the jobs that are the per quitles of election winners. Behind them, come the protectors— often self-aopolnted—of the people and the unofficial representatives of vast interests or determined minorities, the lobbyists. And, bringing up the rear flock the adventurers and adventur esses, camp followers of the govern mental army. These are frankly on the make and In the national capital they exist—and sometimes live very well—by favor, by their own cleverness or even by blackmail. The city’s population constantly changes, renewing itself periodically and its friendships are even more ephemeral than the average, governed as they are by expediency and bound by the elections. A friend here today may be defeated and gone tomorrow. "As fleeting as a Washington friend ship,” the saying is. But there are exceptions. Twice or thrice in a century, one appears which Ignores expediency and defies time. Such a one was that of Judge Hiram Dinwiddie, jurist, diplomat and Inti mate friend of seven presidents, and United States Senator Henry Andrews from Judge Dinwiddle’s home (a west em state). It spurned the word "ephemeral” by existing back beyond the memory of any but the oldest correspondents. Thirty-four years In Washington alone or, as time Is reckoned there, down through nine presidential administra tions. Expediency did not enter into it either because there was nothing that one possessed which the other couldn’t have had merely by going after it. During the Harding administration, for Instance, Judge Dinwiddle refused the appointment as junior senator of fered him by the governor o fhls state at the behest of Senator Andrews to fill out the term of Senator Van Riper, who died in office. Refusing It, the judge explained that while he was overwhelmed by the honor, he pre ferred to continue in the stable prac tice of law to embracing the uncer tainties of a political career. On the other hand, Senator An drews once smilingly refused a full partnership In Judge Dinwiddle’s law firm when he was defeated In one election for re-election to the senate. He declared that the law was too bloodless and quiet for him after his years In the hurly burly of politics. It was only a matter of time, he pointed out, until he would recapture his senatorship. He was returned to office in the next senatorial election. They were a picturesque pair of landmarks, almost as familiar in the city as the Washington monument or the Lincoln memorial. When not about their various businesses, they could be found together so Invariably that a newspaper man dubbed them, “The In separables” In a story published back in 1924 and the characterization caught on and stuck. At his full stature, Judge Dinwiddle looked the perfect conservative “elder statesman.” He was taller than the average but the width of his broad shouldered body took away from his height. He had a wide, low forehead under a mass of glossy hair once brown but now grown silver gray. Service Commission Wins in Rate Action A hearing on an order by the state railroad and public service commission ordering reduced gas rates in Glasgow, Malta and Hinsdale will be held in the near future in Valley county, ac cording to an announcement by Hor ace F. Casey, Austin B. Middleton and Paul T. Smith, commission members. Last bar to the hearing was removed recently when the state supreme court overruled a petition of the defending Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., that the commission had no right to start the case in Lewis and Clark county courts, as was done. The court held the commission acted correctly and refused the petition which asked that enforcement of the reduction order, Which will save users SIB,OOO a year, be denied.

PIONEER STOCKMAN PASSES Charles Bowers, 93, died recently at a Helena hospital following a long Illness. A native of Mesopotamia, O„ he came to Montana in 1880 and op erated a cattle ranch near Glendive. Later he resided at Livingston, where for a time he operated a coal mine. For mahy years be also represented a camping company active in Yellow stone park. Afterward he lived in Bozeman. For the last six years he had lived with a granddaughter, Mrs. Virgil Sinclair, in Helena. BEEB 5 MILLION JOBS The labor department estimates that 5.000,000 to 6,000,000 persons will find Jobs as a result at the national re armament effort. In a state ment. Secretary Perkins said defense orders would provide “at least three and pos sibly four million” Jobs In the next year.

Many Beautiful Girls Are Heard But Not Seen Left to right are shown Betty Lon Gerson, Lucille Wall, Audrey Egan and Helen Lewis, four lovely girls who might grace the front line of any chorus or be worthy of a role in the movies. These girls depend on their voices for their livings, however, being stars of radio playlets who are seen and not heard. Gray eyes on either side of an aqui line nose were uncompromising and Biercing. His mouth had the mobile ps of the orator and his square, rather heavy chin was cleft by a deep dimple. His voice was resonant and melodious and not unlike that of the late William Jennings Bryan. His record fulfilled the promise made by his appearance. While never hold ing an elective office—he had been appointed to his judgeship—he was known as a power in the Inner circles of his party and a champion of the people. He had relinquished hls judgeship to accept a mission in the Nicaragua Canal Zone. When he finished his task and returned from South America he was without portfolio, but he refused to go into active politics. Instead, he concentrated on his law practice In Washington, where a lawyer is more valuable for his ability to sway law makers than for defending or prose cuting lawbreakers. In his 30-odd years of practice he had maintained a high ethical stan dard from which he departed only once. That was during the Harding regime, when he was believed to have helped a venal public official to es cape the consequences of a giant pub lic theft by putting pressure upon cer tain senators and congressmen. An In vestigation was started but died aborn ing. If it had gone through Judge Dinwiddie might have gone to a fed eral penitentiary. Senator Andrews squelched It. In cloakroom and bar, he refused to listen to any suggestion that his friend had committed a wrong. When the judge’s enemies became insistent, “Gentlemen,” the senator smiled thinly, “I would quote here some words from the Bible, ‘Let he who is without sin among you cast the first stone.’ And I would remind Sou that there are reprisals.” So the ivestlgation died, helped by the fact that though Judge Dinwiddie was said to have received $50,000 for his serv ices, he continued to live as he always had on the scale of a man making a barely comfortable living. Senator Andrews could, do a thing like that because he was everything that Judge Dinwiddie was not. He was tall, lean, blond and. Irreverent. AU through his Washington career, he was known as “The Dancing Senator,” not only because he seemed always on the verge of taking off In a ballet leap when he walked. He was a good mixer and an avid practical Joker. In his dress, he was almost a fop, a fop with a gardenia always In his buttonhole. Casual observers often wondered why a great state in election after election should send so light-minded and frivolous a man to represent it in the senate, but those in the know realized it was no accident. Senator Andrews was a shrewd politician. His deals had emptied the contents of many a pork barrel Into the laps of his constituents. And at least three presidents had seen their pet measures killed by his smiling but Implacable opposition. Socially, he was always busy, mov ing in an aura of slightly sinister ro mance whose shadow grew darker and more scandalous with the years. He had been married shortly after his arrival In Washington to Kathleen Winters, a pretty girl who had come on from their home town for the cere mony and who presided In his home until her death. But that marriage had been less than three years old when the whispers started. The whispers were of women and they told an uninterrupted narrative, a serial story In which the heroines were constantly changing. Once his name was coupled with that of a woman lobbyist. Again, with the pas sionate wife of an undersecretary in the Latin legation. There were whis pers of a stage-struck youngster who came to Washington with a theatrical company and remained a month as the senator’s guest. There was said to be a stenographer at the public typewriter stand. But all these were but vague, shadowy figures moving in a world of half-wit rumor. Only one woman stood out clearly coupled with Senator Andrews in the annals of capital gossip and the de tails of even this romantic friend ship were lacking. She was Lisbeth, a leading woman in a summer stock company. They had been seen togeth er in many seml-publlc places and the senator had seemed devoted. But suddenly and without explanation, Lis beth one day threw up her Job and disappeared, never to be heard from again. Nobody, not even Senator An drews, seemed to know why. So “The Inseparables." the old Pur itan who pursued tne right and shunned all women, and the slightly decrepit faun who pursued women and took the right in his stride, moved across the Washington scene, drawing attention by their vivid personalities and the incongruity of tnelr friend ship. That friendship seemed outside the bounds of possibility. It Just couldn't be. Yet it was. There was an explanation, of course. There always Is. There can be no effect without a cause. But the explanation spreads over many years and to understand it you must go back to the beginning. It began in a fair-sized western dty a >3^4 we will call Heathcote, in a state we will not name, just after the turn cf the century. Hirani Dinwiddle, in his middle twenties, was doing very well In the practice of law. Henry Andrews was also practicing law. He was a few years younger than Hiram and not as striking in appearance and not nearly as sure of success. He was a long, gangling young man in whom youth persisted to make him look younger than his years and to set him wasting time In playing practical Jokes and dabbling in local politics. He was the sort that young girls might endure but would never miss. Those were horse-and-buggy days, though the new-fangled telephones were already threatening the privacy of the home and the horseless car riages, newly invented, were scaring horses to death and threatening to hurtle through space at 15 to 20 miles an hour, If somebody could ever fig ure out a way to keep them from breaking down. There was no doubt about it, Hiram Dinwiddle was the town catch. His oft-expressed belief that life was real, was earnest and his uncanny knack of winning difficult cases In court had drawn the atten tion of mothers looking for good pro viding husbands for their daughters and of the big corporations that need ed smart lawyers to figure out ways of getting around legislation that had been designed to hamstring them. Hiram’s person and personality made Its own appeal to the young girls. His handsome, leonine head, his thick brown hair, his piercing gray eyes and his powerful body all set the light of speculation glowing In the eyes of many a maiden. His, even then, old fashioned courtesy and his melodious voice fanned the light to a blaze. All Hiram had to do was to remain a bachelor and he could have had his pick of any unmarried woman In the town, in the state. His future in his profession was already assured. You would think that he would keep him self free for a long time to enjoy the receptivity of the women, but as often happens with this type of man, he married early and, as the saying goes, never again looked at a woman other than his wife. The Dinwiddies had been married three years when Kathleen Winters, daughter of John Winters, Heathcote’s biggest banker returned from Miss Hewitt’s exclusive finishing school In New York and a grand European tour. She had been away five years. She was a sensation. People meeting this pretty, well-poised young woman found it hard to believe that she was the freckle-faced, long-legged little girl with the fiery temper who had gone away. She was small and shapely with a heart-shaped face crowned by brown hair. Her blue eyes were soft and sympathetic. She had charm. She liked people and had a genuine In terest In others and people responded. Henry Andrews responded more en thusiastically than any other young man in town and Kathleen, at first lukewarm, began to respond to him. Henry was that kind of a person. He had come quite a ways in those three Sears. He had toned down his prac cal jokes and had begun to pay more attention to his appearance. He went in a little for extremes. He was known as a “swell dresser." People liked him. He controlled the republican vote of Heathcote which was tantamount to controlling the town. He was reaching out for control of the county and he already had plenty of power. He showed that when he had Hiram Dinwiddie appointed a county judge. “Hiram," he told William Corken, the state boss, with his tongue In his cheek, “was a bom judge. His dignity’s worth a million dollars as a party front.” But Henry really liked Hiram and secretly admired him. He was everything that Henry would like to have been. 8o It was natural that when he began to pay marked attention to Kathleen that they should receive an invitation to a Sunday dinner at Judge Dinwiddle’s home. Kathleen had known Mrs. Dinwiddle, who had been Mary Prevost, all her life. The Judge had not quite finished dressing when Henry and Kathleen arrived and Mrs. Dinwiddle received them. “Oh, Mary," Kathleen said, wrink ling her nose after Mary had kissed her, "you stale away my ideal man when you married Hiram Dinwiddle. You cant imagine how I used to dream of him when I was a little girl.” “Yes I can,” Mary smiled, "because I dream about him too. He has been wonderful to me." Hiram came downstairs then, his hand outstretched, his gray eyes shin ing. Little Kathleen Winters,” he ex claimed and It was as If an organ was playing muted chords, “grown to be a beautiful woman I" He took her hand and imprisoned It in both of his and bowed over it. “Doggone!” Henry told himself, honestly awed. “If I could do that, I’d be president of the United Slates in 10 years! Look how she’s eating it up.” Kathleen’s eyes Indeed were shin ing and pink colored her cheeks. Hi ram dropped her hand and shot a sharp^ anxious^j|lance, quickly veiled, “How do you feel, dear?” he asked. Mary hasn't been feeling as well as TBB HBMALD-WBWS ,5 MHOB Billings Pioneer Admits Early Days “Pretty Tough” B. H. Brown of Billings celebrated his 80th birthday recently. Of those 80 years, 70 have been spent In the west and 60 of them In Montana. Brown Is more than a man 80 years old. He Is the Montana of the fron tier, living in the modernity of 1940. He has lived the full life of the fron tier cowboy and rancher and he has brought the zest which carried him through the turbulent years, which he admits were “pretty tough," to the Eeace of the present. And, he enjoys is memories and his living with equal relish. Brown, who at one time owned a 3,450-acre ranch 65 miles northwest of Billings and nine residences In Bil lings, says the early days were "pretty tough." He was on the range then, driving cattle, beating off the Indians, making a way through forests and across rivers never before attempted by men and cattle. Once, in late fall, he and 12 other men drove a herd of cattle from Fort. Bridger, Wyo., to Cody—3,7oo head. Brown calls that his “trip around the world” because the comparatively brief distance of 500 miles provided ob stacles—mountains, bitter cold, rivers and more rivers—that forced the weary men to two months of very dif ficult work. He was bom in Tennessee, where his father was a carpenter. No formal schooling had the younger Brown. As a lad of 14 he went to Green River, Wyo., to work at anythng he could. He became a cowpuncher. Then he went to Hillary, Wyo., then to Fort Bridger, and then the Big Hole. The bitter experience with the Fort Bridger- Cody expedition took place in 1879, when he was 20. The Snake river, Idaho, called him then, and from there he went to Rock Creek station, Idaho, and finally, Wells, Nev. That was in 1881. The following year he was of fered a job with the old 79 cattle out fit In Montana and later for more than seven years he was with the Clinger cattle outfit as cattle boss. Then he bought a ranch himself, breeding horses and raising cattle. He’s traveled around a lot, too. Some 13 trips to California and many others to the midwest are among his experi ences. Back in the early days he knew all the characters who laid a strong mark upon Montana history —the “Liver-Eating" Johnsons, the Gran ville Stuarts and others. Brown has three sons. Ollie Brown of Los Angeles, Ben H. Brown of Liv ingston, and Archie Brown of Billings. A sister, Mrs. Lucinda Chase, lives at Park City. Tough is the word for him. His face, except for weather wrinkles, is that vs a 50-year-old man. His laughter' Is constant and infectious. And many a yam can and does he spin. About two years ago he fell and hurt his hip. But he laughs about the I’d like," he explained to the others. “I’m just fine,” Mary reproved him. "I wish you wouldn’t worry. I think we’ll go in.” She took Hiram’s offered arm.

The total of man-caused fires has been slightly under 40 percent of the total, which represents a decrease of 25 percent from the average of the past seasons, he said. Joy explained that many factors enter into the total and average of fires, pointing out that an abundance of “dry” lightning or electrical storms with very little rain boosted the total number of blazes this year. He ex filalned that the abnormal amount of ightnlng and the subnormal amount of rain combined not only to cause more' lightning fires, but to lead to many more man-caused fires. Carelessness Cause “Carelessness In the forest by forest users may have been as serious bi other years but an abundance of rain and moisture may have put out many fires that otherwise would have start ed from man causes,” he stated. “The lack of rain and dryness of forest materials this summer undoubtedly caused more fires than In past years.

Coste one to one and a half percent more interest, but isn’t a clear deed to your home or farm for your family, worth it? WESTERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY HELENA R. B. Richardson, President MONTANA He explained that a greater Interest in forests and. forest problems by the public has led to greater caution by smokers and campers in timbered areas and pointed out that he believes the publie has aided materially in reducing the percentage of man-caused fires. The area burned by the 147 fires this season Included 1,553 acres of private land and 766 acres of national forest land, giving the Deer Lodge forest an average of something like 16 acres per fire. That figure Indicates that the fires have been held to small acreages despite the adverse weather conditions, because-a few large fires have boosted the average for the sea son while most of the fires were held to only a few acres. The 89 lightning-caused fires this year gave the forest a total In that class greater than any year since 1930. Man-caused fires were distributed as follows: 26 smoker fires, 17 camper fires, 5 incendiary fires, 3 debris burn ing fires. 1 railroad fire and 6 which were classed as miscellaneous. For region No. 1 of the forest serv ice, which includes 17 forests In north ern Idaho and Montana, there wero 3,568 fires during the season. The total was more than double any year since 1937, and was far above last year’s total of 1,745 fires. Regional Increase The report showed, however, that there were 478 man-caused fires this year, compared with 368 last year. Lightning fires during the current season totaled 3,090 during a summer that saw some of the most severe lightning storms In recent years in addition to a minimum of moisture. The net acreage burned in the re gion this year was 72,935. Fire totals of the other six eastern forests of Montana Included: Absaroka (Livingston), 15 total, 6 man-caused; Beaverhead (Dillon), 60 total. 13 man caused; Custer (Billings), 42 total, 4 man-caused; Gallatin (Bozeman), 30 total, 11 man-caused; Helena (Helena), 103 total, 35 man-caused; Lewis and Clark (Great Falls), 60 total, 8 man caused.
