ment Rank, from its very inception,
was with view to create a system of
mutual insurance, whereby, under the
protecting care. and watchful eye of
the Supreme lodge. the contributions
of the aggregate membership of the
rank would be received, protected, and
in due course properly distributed to
the beneficiaries-a sort of clearing
house for the Pythians who desired
each to insure the other. So has it
been carried on from its very founda-
ton, and so it is proposed to carry it
on to perpetuity. This being the sta
tus of affairs, and the whole system
being carried on purely philanthropic
lines, it seems entirely proper that it
should receive at the hands of Pyth-
ians, their first and best support

when Fremont was striving to find Ore
gon and California and the vast country
west of the Rocky mountains was a terra
3ncognita.
During most of this time Bridger made
Wsstport his headquarters whenever he
deigned to approach the haunts of civili-
cation. After an active career of over
forty years on the plains and in the
mountains Bridger returned d, his old
stamping ground and settled on a farm
of 2S5 acres two miles north of Little
Santa Fe. Here he lived during the re-
naming years of his life, and here he
was buried when he died some eight
years ago.
The farm was divided between his
three children before his death. One OF
his daughters, Jennie, married Albert
WsshburDe of Westport, and all his chill
oren are. well known by many of the
older residents of Westport and Kansas
City.
A Noted Pioneer.
With the exception of Daniel Boone
and Kit Carson, Jim Bridger is PROB
ably the most noted pioneer in the history
Of the westward course of the star of en-
pre-. His name was a household word
throughout the west half a century ago.
Everybody has heard of Bridger's fort
and so long as the Rocky mountains
tower toward the skies Bridger's pass
will exist as a monument to his undying
fame. Bridger'S fort III the southwestern
part of Wyoming, was a celebrated out
post for years and the goal of many a
often United States troops when hard
pressed by Indians III these roubIous
times
Fremont left Bridger at Fort Laramie
on the occasion of his first exploring ex-
pediuon in 1872. Bridger did not go with
this expedition, as ii was already under
the charge of Kit Carson as scout and
guide. The mounIaineerS of whom he was
the leader, warned Fremont against the
danger of proceeding further westward
and the Indians openly threatened the
1larty with humiliation if they insisted
upon advancing. Fremont called the
chiefs of number of tribes in council at
Forr Laramie and boldly announced his
Ssstention of proceeding according to his
original plans. There were loud p1urmurs
an the part of the redskins and had it
tT,ot been for the influence and energetic
interference of Jim Rridger il is prob

T3ridger possessed great influence with
the Northern CheyenneS and is said to
have had several scuaws among the Utes,

members of his family. 1t is probably
owing to his immense influence, however.
