fOrty OF HI loo' ''ioIdiiI from Tie
water tank and just opposite where
the Great Northern trains stop at
Midvale station, at the foot of the
Rockies in Montana, stands a LOG
cabin and a tent. The occupant OF
the latter is man named Hugh
Munroe, of the former his son.
There is nothing peculiar about liv-
ing in a tent, except that the man
has lived in one much of the time
for ninety years. He was born in
Montreal, May 4, 1884, and when 18
years old entered the employ of the
Hudson Bay company, going in
1902 to Edmonton, on the Saskatch-
evan river, in British American. In
1892, having heard from Indians of
the arrival of the American Fur COM
pany traders in Montana he made Il
long journey from his northern
home to visit them and lay in stock
of tobacco and other necessaries,
after which he concluded to remain
in this country. In 1896 he discov-
cred and christened St. Mary's lake.
Between 1882 and 1860 he led a
rowing life, occasionally y visiting Fort
Benton and other outposts, and be.
came known far and wide as a man
of much influence among the north
western tribes. In 1853 he acted as
Interpreter and guide for Gov. Stev-
ems surveying party from Fort Ben
ton to WaIIa Walla. He speaks va
rious Indian languages and as IA sign
talker has few equals. He is quite
talker, and Notwithstanding his
great age, 10S years, is full of sto
ries of wild adventure in the west.
He gets his words mixed and will
change from English to French and
Indian indiscriminately. He never
saw the cars until the Great North
ern was built, and calls the cars
wagons" At first seeing the engine
headed west one day and east next
he was curious to find out how the
thing turned on single track. Both
east and west bound passenger
trains pass his tent in daylight and
he is usually out TO see the engine
which does the ''work of so many
horses in pulling so many ''wag-
ons.' He can mount a horse with
almost the agility of boy, and oft
en- goes with his sons, the oldest 7S
years old, to the mountains for wood
and seldom ever fails to catch mess
of trout. He refers with pride to his
gun, Queen Ann," rude and
heavy hint-lock weapon, and says;
.|She carries a round ball, twelve to
pound; will make a bear sick; make
him cough; make him lie down; then
finish him with this knife" Here
he produces an old Scotch dirk
heavy enough to ''do' an elephant.
He has lived for about thirty years
in this locality along Two Medicine
creek.
What mighty moves have taken
place on the chess board of history
since this old man first disappeared
in the solitudes of the vast north
west. Napoleon changed the map
of Europe. England pushed her
flag into every land and sea, and the
American republic grew from weak
fringe of states along the Atlantic to
the most powerful nation on the
globe. What armies of men have
made stir in the world, been born,
passed youth and manhood to old
age, and died, since Hugh Monroe
''went west" But the old man still
lives unconscious and Indifferent to
what is going on In clvlllzatlon.-
