FEW AUTOMOBILES
STORED FOR WINTER
CLOSED CONVEYANCES ARE
CONSIDERED GOOD FOR
ALL WEATHERS.

The "stered for tile winter" tag on
motor ears will be less in evidence
throughout The country this year than
ever before. There are several rea-
sons, it is said. One is the unparalleled
business activity row in prospect,
which viii require incessant use of
the automobile for business men. An
other is the growing impression that
the motor ear made these days is
good enough fer any weather." Still
another, and perhaps more important,
is the development Of winter cars to
the point where cost no longer con-
flicts with comfort.
In other words, the time has arrived
when the average motor car owner
will not hesitate between shivering
through the winter in an open con-
veyanee, or investing in year-around
comfort by buying winter car. The
motorist has come to regard it as an
actual economy. Tucked away in The
warmth Of an enclosed car on his way
to the office, he no longer finds it
necessary to devote the first half hour
of his working time to warming up"
AS one has put it: 81 find wholesome
pleasure even in dcfying the blustery
winds; it puts me in a good mood for
the morning.'

"Wyeth would fain have slipped by
tins cavalcade mnoticed; but the river
at this place was not more than 80
yards across; he was perceived, there
fore, and hailed by the vagabond war
1lors, and, we presume, in no very
choice language; for among their 9th
er accomplishments, the Crows are
famed for possessing a Billingsgate
vocabulary Of unrivaled opulence, and
Tor being by no means sparing of
it whenever an occasion offers.
"To escape the infliction of any
compliments Of the kind, or the
launching, peradventure, or more dan
gerons missiles, Wyeth landed with
the best grace in his power, and ap-
preached the chief Of the band. It
was Arapooish. He was tall, stout
man, of good presence, and received
the voyagers very graciously. His
people, too, thronged around them,
and were officiously attentive after
the Grow fashion. One took a great
fancy to Baptiste, the Flathead boy,
and a still greater fancy to ring on
his finger, which he transposed to his
own with surprising dexterity, and
then disappeared with quickstep
among the crowd.
Single Knife Serves
To Enrich Three Indians.
Another was no less pleased with
the Nez ,Perce lad, and nothing would
do but he must exchange knives with
him; drawing a new knife out of the
Nez Perez IS scabbard and putting an
old one in its place. Another stepped
up and replaced this old knife with
one still older, and a third helped
himself to the knife, scabbard and all.
1t was with difficulty that Wyeth and
his companions extricated themselves
from the clutches of these officious
crows, before they were entirely
plucked
"Falling down the river little fur
the, they came in sight Of the sec
ond band, and sheered to the opposite
side, with the intention of passing
them. The Crows were not to be
evaded. Some pointed their guns at
the boat and threatened to fire; 9th
ers stripped, plunged into the stream,
and came swimming across. Making
a virtue of necessity, Wyeth threw a
cord to the first that came within
reach, as if he wished to be drawn to
the shore.
"In this way he was overhauled
by every band, and by the time he and
his people came out of the busy hands
of the last, they were eased of most
of their superfluities. Nothing, in all
probability, but the proximity of the
American trading post, kept these
land pirates from making good prize
of the bull boats and all it's con-
tents.
"The last band of Grow warriors
had scarce disappeared in the cloud of
dust they had raised, when our voy-
ayers arrived at the mouth of the
river, and glided into the current of
the Yellowstone. Turning down this
stream, they made to Fort Cass, which
is situated on the right bank, about
three miles below the Bighorn. On
The opposite side they beheld party
Of 81 savages, which they soon ascer-
tained to be Blasckfeet. The width
Of the river enabled them to keep at
1 sufficient distance, and they soon
anded at Fort Cass."

The Grows, while seemingly unable
to make this fruitful land yield it's
fruits, yet have always recognized its
superiority to many other regions. In
"The Adventures of Captain Bonnie
ville," Washington Irving quotes Ara
pooish, the Grow chief, long known as
the white man. friend.
"The Grow country" said Arapoo-
ish, "is a good country. The Great
Spirit has put it exactly in the right
place. While you are in it, you fare
well. Whenever yon 90 out of it,
whichever way YOU travel, YOU fare
worse.
"The Grow country is exactly in
the right place. 1t has snowy noun
tains and sunny plains, all kinds of
climates and good things for every
season.
"The Crow country is exactly in
the right place. Everything good is
to be found there. There is no coun-
try like the Grow country.'
Ranchers Dig Coal Out of
Their Own Back Yards.
Although the industries of the dis
trict are now almost exclusively farm
ing and stock raising, there are other
sources Of potential wealth. Coal has
been found in many places and ranch
ers near Hardin, the county seat, get
their supplies Of fuel from conven-
lent coal banks. An affluent future
is predicted in the development of oil
and gas fields, now projected. The
possibilities of manufacturing develop
ment are virtually unlimited as the
Bighorn abounds in falls and rapids
and is capable of furnishing hydro
electric power in immense quantities.
One proposed project alone provides
for the development of 100000 horse
power.
Of the county's area of Sill square
miles, scarcely Z per cent, or 247. 1872
acres, is privately owned. OF unre-
served and unappropriated public land
available for entry under the home
stead law. there are $4,000 acres and
of state land. 42,53S acres. The re-
mainder Of the county is included in
Indian reservations.

Prepare for Demand.

due to conditions such as these, as
we'll as the criterion afforded by the
heavy sales Of last year, Dodge Broth
ers' dealers are preparing for an ex-
ccptional demand. They are now in
a position to supply snug winter cars
both of the touring and roadster type.
Slight alterations in the style used last
year made it even more desirable, both
from the standpoint of taste and COM
fort. The interior is handsomely up
holstered in gray and both the road
ster and touring car are fitted with
dome light of a pleasant glow.
Doors fit tightly, but open easily
and rattling is minimized bv exactness
Of construction. One Of the most at
tractive features of the Dodge Broth
ers' winter ear is the fact that the
winter top may be removed without
difficulty, thereby affording an ideal
conveyance for use the year around.
Also, by purchasing winter top, with
which the local dealer is now sup
piled, any owner of a Dodge Brothers
touring car or roadster may easily
convert his last summers automobile
into Il dignified, comfortable closed
car ready to cope with the worst of
weather.

BIG HORN VALLEY
RICH IN ROMANCE
one OF the Most Fertile Districts of State Scene of Ad-
ventures of Noted Captain DeBonnev;lle and
Other Hardy Tanners of Wilderness.

One OF the richest of all the regions
OF Montana-o whose development
has not even begun-is the lower val
ley OF the Bighorn, a district not only
rich in agricultural possibilities, but
framed in the golden hues of history
and romance.
1t was on the principal tributary
OF this river, the Little Bighorn, that
Custer made his last stand, and many
other battles between Crows and
Blackfeet and whites and redskins
were fought within the limits of the
basin which reaches from the Yellow
stone grandeur Of northern Wyoming
down through the prairies Of Montana.
Washington Irving's hero, Captain
Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville,
protege of General Lafayette, follow
ed the course Of this river to a point
below the rapids in what is now Big
horn county, Montana, and sent par
ty of his men in "bull boats' down
the rest of the way to the confluence
with the Yellowstone.
Wrongly and Rightly Called
River of Large Corn
There was true prophecy in the err
ror by which an early chronicler
translated the French name Crosse
Corne, as "the river Of Large Corn"
for in this region is now growing some
of the largest corn found in all the
length and breadth of the Missouri
Mississippi valley. Sixty bushels of
corn have been raised to the acre since
1906 when a small proportion of the
Crow reservation was opened to set
tlement.
Other common yields are: Oats, so
to 100 bushels; wheat, 80 to 65 bush
els: alfalfa, five to seven tons, and
potatoes, 600 bushels to the acre. Sug-
ar beeas Of excellent quality also have
been raised. It is claimed that parts
of the valley are particularly adopted
to the growing of apples. All the
grains. frasses and vegetables that
grow anywhere in the state give high
yields.

CIVIL SERVICE APPEALS
COURT, SUGGESTED PLAN
Amendment to Appropriation Bill in
House offered by Mr.. Heating
of Colorado.

A court of appeals for civil service
employees was proposed in the House
yesterday by Representative Heating
of Colorado. during the discussion of
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill. Representative
Heating offered an amendment to the
bill outlining series of appeals by
which government employees could be
assured of proper treatment in case of
dismissal or demotion. 1t provided that
appeals could be taken by employees
subjected to dismissal or demotion. but
was the subject of point of order
brought by Representative Byrns of
Tennessee and sustained by Chairman
Crisp of the committee of the whole.
Representative Keatings idea, as ex-
pressed briefly by him, was as follows:
with this amendment L seek to es-
tablish court of appeals for the civil
service employees of the government
and to provide that no part of the
appropriation in this bill shall go to
pay the salary of officer who dis
misses a civil service employe without
giving him the right of hearing a
right which is in the discretion of the
departmental official"

ed professions DIR. Noble P. Barnes re
viewed the history of dentistry from
the dark ages to the present day The
dentist of tomorrow, he said, has got
to be more than the mind to grind out
a tooth and plug it up, for many OF
the diseases which affiict the human
body can be traced to the teeth and
jaws, and the dentist of tomorrow
must know their treatment.
He urged the students to stand by
their fellows and their school Every
time you help each other you help
yourself. he said, and every time you
help your alma mater you help your
selves.

Thank God He's Dead.

The Beautiful Shore: A Denver drummer put up one night in a so- called hotel in Leadville shortly after the camp was established in 1878. The thin partitions of rang of bed rooms stopped, like the stalls of a stable, half way to the ceiling. In the stilly watches of the night Char ley Rothschild lay awake and listened to the finest demonstration of plain and fancy snoring that it had ever been his fate to hear It was no straight ahead affair, robust monot- onous, but full of sudden and awful variations. Sometimes strangulation seemed imminent; then in the middle of resonant fantasia the agony stopped suddenly and there was si- lence. From far away down the stalls he heard a voice exclaim, wearily, "Thank God! He's dead!" It was the pent-up outburst from a weary pros- pector who had paid two dollars for a nights rest.

FIRST FLAGSTAFF FASHION
 SHOW FINE AFFAIR

While the first few days of the Fashion Show have been thoroughly reviewed, it remained for Saturday to convince the people that Flagstaff had had an unusual opportunity to not only have the very latest of fall styles pass before them in review, but they were also able later to in- spect them and if so inclined choose them for their own. Dainty refresh ments were served at the conclusion of the show, and lovely bouquets of flowers in delicate pastel shades were given as favors. The Rabbit manage ment had not only taken care of it's patrons and prospective customers during the week, but had not ne- glected to provide entertainment for the faithful employees who had worked with single purpose in view namely, the success of venture that was so entirely new--and in ap- preciation of these efforts a finale of the week was a delightful dance staged on the main floor of the big store. About seventy-fve couples danced to the strains of delightful music and were refreshed at intervals with punch and cake. This closing feature was fitting climax to an af- fair that was an initial one to Flag staff, and we will venture to predict that if is not to be the last.
