AN INDIAN SKELETON
IS UNCOVERED
GRADERS IN CREW ON STREET
RAILWAY FIND THE BONES
OF A EEoMAN.

In the early days of Montana's his
tory. when the white man was almost
unknown in the state and when the
B,ackfeet Indians held almost all of
Montana. the mouth of the canyon Just
east of Missoula was held by then. as
the western boundary to their terri
tory. Here they met their historic
rivals. the F'latheads, in countless
bloody battles, and SO carefully did
they guard this cut that il was certain
death for a single man. or even small
parties, to pass through. The early
trappers and settlers feared this pass
so much that they called it HeIls
Gate. a name which ii has held ever
since.
Now. with three railroad lines run
ming through the cut and with signs of
prosperity and peace on every hand. il
is almost impossible to imagine that
there was a time when this beautiful
canyon was so feared and summed by
the whites that they gave it the name
of Hells Gatc-a word which to them
failed to describe its horrors. Yet yes
torGav there was brought to light
pitiful reminder of these days. a re-
minder which was no less forcible be-
cause of the fact that a work of prog
ross brought II to light.
Yesterday when the graders on the
new street car line were digging along
the side Of JUMBO they uncovered the
skeleton of an Indian. How long he
had been living there or how he met
his death it is impossible to tell.
Whether it was the skeleton of a
Flathead fighting for access to the fer
tile plains of the east. or whether the
bones were those of B'ackfoot who
was killed while trying to check the,
and fatal advance of the
Whites. is only "A matter for the i'm
sginaton: but, at any. rate he died
fighting for peace never lived in that
during the days of the redman.
For a minute the graders could almost
imagine that there were Indians hid
irg on the hill again. and that the
whistle of the engines below them was
the war whoop OF the Indian. But il
was only for a minute, and then the
men buried the bones beneath the
ground of Mount Jumbo again. to lie
where the man had died so long before.

In TOUCH.

Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown de-
MES that he was born with a silver
spoon in his mouth. In letter to the
Telfair Enterprise, he says his "father
was the most democratic of men," and
trained his son to his way of thinking
about such matters. The governor
elect says when he was a boy, he was
sent into the country to work in the
corn field for two years. After he had
gone into the railroad business, during
the first four years, he was freight
clerk, a freight fiagman and conductor,
an employee in the round house and car
shops. "a part of this time I went on
duty during the winter season at 4 80
a. M, " says the governor elect. Il did
exactly the same work as did the 9TH
ers in the departments 1 served My
associates were the engineers, conduct
ors, firemen, fagmen, mechanics,
clerks, etc." Mr.. Brown says he will
continue to keep in touch with the
masses, just as he has always done.

Have your standard and live up to it..
Set that standard according to your
own income and your own judgment of
what is best for you and yours. This
trying to live up to the standard Of
others is what destroys the happiness
of many households. Families with an
income of 81 900 year make desper-
ate effort to live up to the standard of
those with 81 500, and those with $1,000
try to initiate those with 50, 900 year.

neighbors will do, or think, or say. We
have not the moral force to fix our own
