regarded by DAILY as a deliberate extor>
ton.
In the absence of authoritative ex-
PLANTATION, 1t is necessary to take the
quarrel for granted. as the people OF
Montana have done. All the details make
long story. One typical instance will
show the venom, the treachery, and at
the same time the broad Issues and con-
sequences involved.
Clark was nominated In 1888 by the
Democrats of the territory as the dele
gate to congress. The nomination was
considered equivalent to election, espe-
ciaIly as the territory was known to be-
in the hands of four men, all Democrats.
and all wealthy miners and bankers. The
power of the Big Four, which con-
sisted of Marcus Daily, s. T. Hauser. c.
A. Broadwater and w. A. Clark, was
thus spoken of by the Republican pa
per after the election:
These four men are the Democratic
party. They have kept it In their power
when they wanted to, and when they fell
out the party went to the dogs to the
music of SIPS Republican majority"
According to the story told by the
friends of Clark, Daily congratulated him
upon his sure prospects and at the open
ing of Days new hotel, 1.-The Montana,
even led a eotfl1on with Mrs. Clark,
when he assured her of his intention to
support Clark through his many availa-
bile means. Shortly before the election
Clark sent delegation to DAILY to OBJ
tain final assurances. DAILY was clos

Wnen the Soundtngs and contour limits
OF the watershed and other features are
to receive attention.
AT points along the Mississippi below
Itasca lake the certainty of the existence
of ancient glacial lakes, where now can
only be observed the sluggish channel of
the river meandering through extensive
hat meadows. bordered by hills, was
plainly noticed. demonstrated by the long,
nat, marshy river bottoms which are
situated at, above ard below the mouth
of Pniddiwin river, where 1t unites with
the Mississippi, and below Ball Club lake,
where, near White Oak point, the river
Is extremely crooked, bordered by i'm
passable marshes, within which are sit
uated two remaining shallow bodies of
water, generally carried White Oak lakes
through this remarkable swamp above
and below White Oak point, 1t would
seem that the only possible and prac-
ttcable survey of the Mississippi could
be best accomplished on the ice during
the winter season. and that manner of
procedure will undoubtedly be utilized.
To describe approximately the details
of this long canoe voyage along the
thread of the main channel OF. the river,
beginning at the north end of Itasca
lake, and ending at the bridge at Aitkin,
would require many columns of descrip-
tive explanations relating to the most
deeply interesting and varied months out

plished in one continuous passage in Min

A few only Of the experiences encoun-
tered may be related here, to Indicate thu

means, alike to tie uninttiated or hard
ened and experienced camper.
Commencing Immediately above I1a-ka-
bi-kous rapids, only four miles north of
the state park, we were obliged to lit
orally cut our way through dead wood,
fallen timber, tree tops, overhanging
limbs and accumulated debris, fish traps
and foot bridges for nearly six miles. but
the way Is now more open for others to
follow with less trouble.
In the fat marshes where the river Is
very crooked it is not an unusual occur
renee to pull the rowboat a half mile Or
more, to return In sight of the river bend.

started to- round the long meander.
Passing out from Bemidji lake the de-
scent to Tascodiae lake Is considerable,

which the Mississippi plunges over a bed

ders heavily set into the bed Of the
stream.

signs the probable character Of the party
last preceding him. At this location we
saw no characteristic signs of the red
man, no unusual Indication that White
men had ever camped there, ard, after
elaboration, the party was unanimous In
the belief that neither Indians nor river
men had occupied the premises. but that
a small assemblage of preachers, gene
on an outing, had built a camp there, on
the basis Of their way of performing self
imposed manual service. The camp was
on sloping ground, the fireplace was up
hill, the bed Of boughs was built down.
hill, and every similar indication demon
strated that neither experienced white
men nor Indians had built the camp, but
1t is not meant by this that preachers do
not know anything. Like the rest of hui
mainly, they do not know it all.
At Cass lake the Incompatible and pic
turesque region proposed for national
park, dotted with OJibway villages, was
left with regrets. At one of those viii
lagos we found an old Frenchman, who,
In his very infancy, 1t is claimed by the
Indians, lost hts identity, and by corr

affiifation. has become an aged, hardened
and typical ojibway, whose every WORD

that he is no longer a Frenchman
At WinDfbigoshish lake an endeavor
was made, during low water, to definitely
locate the center of the main channel of
the river at the point where ii enters the

reason that the channel has changed SO

The mississippi river commission, with
Headquarters at the city of ST.. LOUIS.
has extended It's operations from the
Gulf OF Mexico. at the several mouths
OF the river. among. the treacherous ana
uncertain. mud islands far to the south
OF Fake Pontchartrain. to Northern Min
nesota.
Late last year the field parties reduced
the topographic and photographic notes
along the river from Aitkip to Mime
apolls, preparatory to a completion of the
ftnal charts. and made preliminary e&-
animation for triangulation from Brain
erd, or near there, to Itasca lake, above
the dense forests situated between those
two points.
By this triangulation it is sought to ac-
curately determine the true latitude and
longitude Of the source OF the river and
intermediate points, by the erection Of
immense and stationary tripods at the
top OF the highest hills, with accompany
ing platforms from the top of which,
with powerful theodolites. observations

of operations shall be adopted as fea-
waited hills between the two remote local
tiles mentioned.
Beneath each tripod Eve feet below the
surface is placed an impertshable glazed
conSlomerate tablet, upon which is Inn
printed a record of the observations, and
steel tube, covered with a brass cap,
extends from the tablet to a position
about twelve inches above the surface, as
a visible evidence of each bench mark.
Tho highest hills between Brainerd and
Itasca lake have been found in several
convenient localities, about twelve OIL
fifteen miles apart, so that a perfect trl-
angulation can be observed by instru-
mental appliances, from hill top to hin
top, at the summit of the platforms
above the adjacent timber.

A squabble between two partners in a
primitive section of Montana. elaborated
through twenty years of bitter rivalry
and increa sing riches became a matter
OF national Importance when William A.
Clark, of Montana, was elected to the
United States senate. Two financial mag
mates, once poor men who dug potatoes
and sold merchandise from wagons, car
ried their antagonism beyond the scenes
of its origin and inflicted it upon the at
tention of the republic. when Marcus
DAILY. of Montana, set in motion the ma
chinery to disqualify William A. Clark
for his office.
To understand the bitterness OF the
feud, the deadly hatred engendered, to
get at the true inwardness OF the affair,
one must live in Montana, not few
days. but years; and one must, from the
very nature of things, be either Clark
man or a Daily man. There is no middle
ground. Many bright man has come
TO Montana, firmly resolved to remain
neutral: but he soon finds that he cannot,
so far in every direction do the RANT
fications of the feud extend. The Clark
Daily feud is the heart of Montana, sup
plying Iife-blOod TO thousands, it's arteries
pulsating through every village and city
of the state. affecting directly or indirect
ly. every man, woman and child. Both
