In these days when fortunes r
being made through the appreciation
of farm lands in Montana there are
probably few who know that the
first great realty project initiated in
the state was a failure. This was the
effort to establish at the mouth of
the Musselshell river a town and
trading enter which, it's sponsors
fondly believed, would eventually be-
come the metropolis of Montana,
probably of all the northwest.
This settlement, founded in 1896
as Kerchival City, was washed away
by the river in 1868, to be re-created
the same year as the town of Mus
selshell. Two years later this town
also was abandoned, but until 1874
a trading post fingered on it's site.
Even the members of the territori-
al legislature had unbounded faith
in the glorious future of the town
and in 1866 the county of "Muscel-
shell" was created and the county
seal fixed at Kerchiva1 City. AS the
all the way through the Dakotas
the county seat was established at
oIiIlCIllOHj dllOl1lCl 6AOoI City, WA14C
the name of the county itself was
changed to Vivion. AS congress an
nulled the laws of this session, the
county became a memory. The pres
ent county of Musselshell owes its
existence to an act of the legislative
assembly of 1911 and the site of Ker-
chival City is not within it's bound
aries.
Founders Expected 1t
To Displace Fort Benton.
The founders of Kerchival City ex-
pected it to displace Fort Benton
as the head of navigation because OF
the swift current and numerous rap
ids, as we'll as the periodic recurrence
of low water, in the Missouri above
it's junction with the Musselshell,
while little difficulty was experienced
in ascending to this point. Further
more, the Missouri described a wide
circle to the northwest above the con-
fluence of the two rivers, whereas
the overland wagon road which these
boomers built offered a direct cutoff
to Helena through the fertile judith
basin. The abundant timber in the
region at a time when all the steam.
boats burned wood was an additiona.
argument in favor of the site, while
many believed paying gold would be
found in the surrounding mountains
which had never Ueen thoroughly
prospected.
Influenced by all these considera
tons, a number of persons associated
themselves as the Rocky Mountain
Road company, opened the route

Freight Rates Advance.

Butte. - Freight rates on-west-
bound shipments to Butte will ad-
vance approximately 10 cents per
hundred pounds on carload lots and
approximately rs cents per hundred
pounds on less than carload lots on
December 80, according to word re-
ceived at railroad offices here. Rates
on freight from the coast will be in

pounds on carload lots on the same

MONTANA POWER
IS EXPANDING.
WOLF CREEK DEVELOPMENT
RANKS SECOND TO PLANT
AT GREAT FALLS.
Dam Will Create Lake ~ Miles Long:
Will BE Completed About July 1
Next Year; Is Big Factor in Reduce
ton of Ores and the Transporter
ton Problem.

The vital connection of the hydro
electric developments of Montana
and the mining industry of the state
are we'll recognized in all the mining
districts OF Montana. 1t was be-
cause of the cheap power furnished
by the Montana Power company that
the Anaconda company was able to
bring it's reduction works at both
Anaconda and Great Falls to their
present refineries that are now in
operation at Great Falls.
Helps Mining Industry.
1t was this same power that has
enabled scores of mines in different
parts of Montana to operate at a
profit and the Harvesting of the wa
ter powers of the Missouri and
Clark's Fork of the Columbia has
played a most important part also
in the ore transportation problem.
Just now attention is being direct
ed to the latest water power develop
ment of the Montana Power COM
pany. This is known as the Wolf
creek plant located on the Missouri
river so miles above Great Falls.
Some rapid work has been done there
during the past summer, and the
power developed there will be avail
able for use early in the coming
year.
Develops $4,000 Horse Power.
The estimated cost of this project
is $3,50O,00O. It will furnish ap-
proximately $4,000 horsepower and
will rank second only to the Big
Falls development of the Montana
Power company in the amount of
power furnished.
The total time required from the
inception of the work until the
power is turned on and sent out for
use is estimated at 16 months. This
means that the power will be ready
by July / of next year. 1t is possible
that some units will be ready for
operation before that time.
When the dam is completed and
the waters have filled the great
reservoir above the new dam, it will
make a lake ~ miles in length and
with an average width of half a mile.

Sioux hill whence they formerly sig
nailed defiance to the town.
Later in this year an eccentric and
restless Frenchman, who became
known as "the man with 80 lives"
shells brief annals. This man ar
ton of taking passage down the river
by the first boat. After waiting in
vain several weeks for the boat to
appear, he came to a sudden deter
mination to return alone on foot to
Helena. He lost the way and ran out
of food and showed up at Musselshell
a couple of weeks later nearly ex-
hausted, only to find that the steam
boat had come and gone. In disre-
gard of the warnings of the townfolk
he made up his mind to go back to
Helena by the Benton trail" I'M
mediately after his departure an
alarm of Indians" was raised and
the inhabitants of the town turned
out under arms. The Indians were
seen making their way through the
timber to the top of a hill by which
the Benton trail assembled from the
valley.
Frenchman Pays no Heed
To Fusillade From Town.
The Frenchman, unconscious of his
peril, began to climb the hill. The
townfolk exhausted every possible
means in their efforts to attract his
attention., but he kept on. AS he
neared the summit where the Indians
were in ambush the whites. as though
by a common impulse, leveled their
guns and opened fire-not upon the
Indians, for that would have avaikd
nothing, but upon the Frenchman.
His death seemed inevitable, SO they
determined to cheat the Indians of
their prey.
The bullets ratified around the
Frenchman, but he seemed to have a
charmed life. Rounding the bridge.
he found himself face to face with the
redskins. They withheld their fire
to count their coups. In a moment
he was surrounded. The leading In
dian counted his coup by dealing the
Frenchman a blow across the face
with the flat of a saber. This seemed
to rouse the traveller for with a bound
he cleared the ring of Indians and
dashed down the hill. There were
witnesses who were ready to swear
that his feet touched the ground only
two or three times on his way down
Not one of the Indians dared to urge
his horse down the hill at a pace
sufficient to overtake him. The
Frenchman got back safe and waited
for the boat.

washington. August 12.-(Special,)
American troops will remain on the bor-
der for an indefinite period. according TO
a. semi official announcement.
With evidence that an open rupture
between the United States and Mexico
will not be developed. and with the APP
pointment OF commissioners to arbitrate
the trouble existing between the two coun-
tries, the idea took hold that it might be
possible to restore young American volun-
teers, or national guardsmen. to their
duties at home. But the administration
has shaken its head. and while 1t is pos
sible that the boys will eat Christmas
dinner at home. there is nothing more
certain than that they will continue on
patrol duty until after election day in
November.
1t is said that the administration has

men will be kept on the border as long
as the Pershing column remains across

The order forbidding furloughs to be

of an immediate move of the men, II
was said at headquarters Saturday as the
order was given before the rumor was

Allied Cruiser at Pensacola
Sets AfIOat Wild RumOr
as to Sinking of the
Deutschland

Pensacola Fla, August 12.-Captain
Leskivit of the French armored cruiser
Amiral Aube, which arrived here this
afternoon, denied street rumors which
were credited to one of his orderlies to
the effect that the Aniral Aube had re-
ceived a wireless message Tuesday from
British patrol boat on the Atlantic
coast, stating that the patrol boat had
sunk the German merchant submarine
Deutschland on August 5. The captain
asserted he had received no information
whatever that the Deutschland had been
sunk and that all such reports were abb
solutely false.
westerly Howe, consular agent of
France, at this port, also declared there
was no truth in the reports that the
Amiral Aube had received any wireless
message stating the Deutschland had
been sunk and investigation tonight re-
vealed that the report was merely a
street rurnor which was attributed to an
unnamed orderly of the cruisers captain.
ONLY SHORT STAY
Captain Leskivit said his ship would
leave tomorrow morning at $3.50 o'clock.
1--WE need no repairs" he said Every
one is in good health and we have
plenty of coal. Our stay here has been
pleasant. The men have enjoyed the
brief shore leave, which they badly
needed and which they have been per-
mitted tonight and we are all happy.
Tomorrow we again will be on the sea-
