Story of Old Stage
Lite Stirs Foley To
Appeal For Romance

The story Of the old Medora and
Black Hills stage line which recently
appeared in Tie Tribune has stirred
James W. Foley, the Nestor Of the
Bad Lands, to an appeal for the pres
ervation of romance in history.
His letter which, in common with
everything that comes from his virlie
pen, is interesting and instructive, fol-
lows:
The notice in The Tribune Of the
poster OF the Medora and Black Hills

Historical society brings many old
time things to mind. When a very
young man if we listened to persons

thirty years before the thought would
come to US: How long it sens; what
wonderful memory these old people
have" Now that We have passed the
list milestone, in age, thirty years
ago appears but last week.
In talking to young school children
it is often to us. strange that they
know 50 little of the romance history
of the United States and less of the
history of their own state. And our
state certainly has much romance in
its early history. How many school
children in our schools today can tell
the names Of the men who captured
Major Andre. and why he was captur'

romance history in this way: Many

Romance Makes Patriots

that made patriots Of these nations.
Only by the teachings Of romance his

Bad Lands Were Sacred

"JAcK" LONDON.

American literature sustains 4
heavy loss in the death of "Jack"
London. Coming as it does so soon
after the demise of James Whitcomh
Riley, who, like London, understood
the heart, the warnings and the as
pirations of the man in the street, the
feeling OF loss is accentuated.
Nature in all her phases made a
potent appeal to him. 1t is reflected
even in the titles Of his best known
books: Call of the Wild; THE Chill
dren OF the Forest; Sea Wolf" etc.
Eut his love of nature stirred the ro-
nance in his makeup. His treatment
of the elemental forces of nature was
imaginative, not scientific or minute,
like Thoreau, or Burroughs, or John
Muir. Nature to him was big, throb-
bling setting for the great drama hs
sought to depict.
He never subordinated in his work
the impulses of man in an elaboration
Of the impulses OF nature. His work
was yirile and the subject matter
drawn from deep we'll of expert.

as sacred and not to be profaned by
the white mans feet.
In the year 1874, General Custer
led from Fort Abraham Lincoln the
first military expedition which ever
penetrated the mystery OF these sacred
Hills. The expedition started with the
usual blare Of trumpets. and provided
with Press Bureau for none knew
better than Custer the value OF good
advertisement.
What wonderful stories this press
bureau sent to eastern papers; gold
was found everywhere, even in the
feet Of the horses: in the roots Of the
grass. With such reports published
how were white men to be kept out !
They were not kept out. The treaty
became as piece of paper: The id.
venturers stayed, and more went in.
These required food and other neces.
saries of civilized life. Transports
ton companies were established and
stage lines. One Of such routes was
established from Sidney, and another
from Bismarck, from which Concord

until the Northwestern railroad reach.

line was removed to that point, It be.

Establishment Of Routs
In the year 1884 it was found, af
ter the Northern Pacific had reached
the Bad Lands. that there was short
er route from Medora than either Of
the others. and then the Medora and
Black Hills Stage and Forwarding
company was established by De
Mores.
In the days when stages travelled
the great west for Hundreds Of miles
mail contract was first secured a,
a rate sufficiently high to pay all ex'
penses; and then some; what val
made on passengers, and express waa
clear. De Mores was promised 1
mail contract. and on that promise
and with encouragement from the
merchants in the Hills, he establish
ed the line.
Politicians Killed Il.
The politicians saw to it that the
mail contract was not given; and the
other established lines cut the passen
ger and express rate 80 low that the
Medora line could not compete with
routes which had mail contracts. AT
ter operating the line for nine months
It was discontinued. With the dis
continuance OF the s1edora line the
old Concord coach went out of use
in North Dakota. ~" =. so .
