AMERICAN LAKE
VERITlBLE "ClTY"
RUSH CONSTRUCTION WORK ON
HUGE TRAINING CAMP WHERE
NIONTANANS WILL GO.
Every Detail to Be Completed When
Lads From Treasure State Disem-
bark at CantOnment Where They
Will Be Drilled for Work With
Pershing's Army in France.

When the boys from Montana who
will be called to colors within the
next two weeks reach their training
camp at American Lake, near Taco
ma, to be drilled for service under
General Pershing in France, they will
find that the military encampment is
veritable city in itself. Every de-
tail of the construction of the huge
cantonment will have been completed
and hot meal will be awaiting the
''rookies' as they disembark from
the troop trains.
Already the 500 officers who are
to train the new army are arriving
at the encampment, but the first OF
the enlisted men will not reach there
until September 5th. When they will
be streaming in for five days.
The cantonment at American Lake
is one of the 16 "cities" for troop
training that are being built in so
days. Buildings to house $4,000
men are under construction and
there are more than $50 stables and
all other equipment and supply build
ings that will be necessary.
Slackers Are Canned.
The speeding up of the construc-
ton work has been facilitated by the
wedding out of I. w. W. agitators
and other trouble makers Heating
plants are already being installed in
the barrack buildings and the sewer
age system is almost completed. Hos
pital and Y. M. G. A. buildings are
already completed.
Work has been rushed first on the
quarters for the enlisted men, so that
they would be comfortably housed
upon their arrival. However, work
or the officers quarters is we'll under
way, too, and the installation of the
six central heating plants for the Of
ficers' quarters, one heating plant
to brigade, is going forward nicely.
Tacoma Stores Drained.
According to Captain Ball, camp
quartermaster, Tacoma is practically
drained dry of all the many needed
articles wanted at the camp. When
ever it is possible the firms of Taco
ma are patronized, but for the most
part it is necessary to go out of town.
He remarked that most of the mer-
chants in the city did not seem to be
alive to the fact that there will be

and so far as he could find out none
of the stores had or were intending
to stock up on military articles. He
cited, for example, the puttees which
the officers wear He made the
rounds of the stores last week and
could not find single one which
carried decent line.
Another point was the lack of
stores where military clothes could
be made to order. He said if there
was a store in the, city which could
turn out suit of officers or enlisted
mems clothes which would conform
to the army regulations and yet
would be a tailor made suit the store
would be packed and would need 1901
men to take care of the orders.

Non-partisans whooped it up for
Baer for Congress. One of these pro-
cessions started with fifty machines
at Buxton and when it reached Grand
Forks more than a hundred were in
line.
After Baer's election the eastern
press quite generally attacked him
as having extremely socialistic and
pro-German sympathies. Hot denial
of any disloyalty in North Dakota as
reflected in Baer's platform was
made on the floor of the house by his
republican colleague, Patrick D. Nor
ton, who said in reference to an edi-
torial contained in an Iowa paper:
can attempt is made to discredit
my state because of the election of
John M. Baer. On account of this
and other slurring reflections ap-
pearing in washington and New
York papers I am impelled to say
that his loyalty and patriotism need
no defense. He comes from a long
line of fighting stock. His father
was Union soldier and his brother
was killed in the Spanish-American
war. His election was not won on
a pacifist platform or in opposition
to the present war. In his campaign
he favored CONSUMPTION and the car
rying on of the war to successful
conclusion"

(By James U. Sanders, Secretary.
Society of Montana Pioneers.)

The interest of the state in the ear
ly history of this region, before Mon
tana was more than an uncharted
wilderness, as shown by the enact
ment of laws commemorating the
Lewis and Clark expedition and the
discovery OF gold in Alder gulch and
appropriating money therefor, is very
gratifying to the people and in line
with the spirit which fills the breast
of every patriotic American proud of
his country and of it's meteoric rise
among the family of nations.
After half century OF existence
our legislature appropriated $4,000
to assist in the erection of heroic
bronze statues of Lewis and Clark at
the Great Falls and the Three Forks
of the Missouri river and truly after
112 years it is appropriate that such
should mark these historic spots.
They mark two of the camps Of that
intrepid party which penetrated the
wilderness from the mouth of the
Missouri to the mouth of the Column
bia, an expense of 5000 miles, and
returned after two years and half
with complete journals kept by many
members of the party, some with bad
spelling but nevertheless invaluable,
and complete maps and descriptions
of the country traversed.
Other Trails Marked.
The Oregon trail, the Santa Fee
trail and the California trail are all
marked at various points at the hands
of patriotic societies assisted in some
instances by the states through which
they pass. This is not feasible in the
case of the expedition which threaded
the course of the channel of the Mis-
souri, river from the vicinity Of St.
Louis to near old Gallatin city and
thence the Jefferson to it's source
and after crossing the great barrier
of the Rocky mountains, for which

1t seems strange but the facts of
history show that Louisiana was
crowded onto us. Livingston, our
minister to France, had been instruct
ed to negotiate for the purchase of
New Orleans and the Floridas. Since
the days of our independence congress
has sought to secure the opening of
the Mississippi, which, south of 81
north latitude, ran through Spanish
possessions and to secure also place

States did not desire to acquire the

The story of the expedition of Meri-
weather Lewis and William Clark
is a familiar tale and is unique in
cident in the worlds history. From
early spring until late in the summer
of 1906 it traversed what is now Mon
tana spending a considerable time at
Great Falls where they very acculate-
ly measured the height of the diff
ferent cascades and celebrated the an
niversary of our Declaration of indie
pendence, an instrument penned by
their official patron, Thomas Jeffer-
son. The scene of their celebration

went into camp July 25, and three

which form the Big Muddy, the Gal

of the treasury, the Madison, after
James Madison, secretary of state and
destined to succeed jefferson as pres

be the largest stream and coming

Montana members of the Nom
Partisan League, of whom it is
claimed there are upward of 10000
in the state, are watching with the
greatest interest the record to be
made by the Fargo newspaper car
toonist, John M. Baer, whose cleo
ton to congress from North Dakota
last month marked the entry of the
National Non-Partisan League into
national politics. Lively interest, is
manifested in this youngster of rs
years because the league which he
states with total membership of
100, 900, more than half of which is
in North Dakota and Montana.
Young Baer romped into congress
with a comfortable plurality of
5000. He just naturally chalk-tilked
himself into the national assembly
at Washington. Baer was educated
for an engineer, but turned his at
tention to farming until he discov-
cred that his talent for drawing had
a greater call. AS a cartoonist he
found it necessary to make a study
of men and national affairs, and in
this way he drifted into politics.
Young Men For Him.
Naturally, the young men were
for him. Drainage engineers spoke
for him because they thought his
technical training would be of use
in discussing public improvement
projects. CartOonists and artists
sent drawings for a travelling exhibit
boosting his cause-one newspaper
humorist gave up his job to go out
and give illustrated speeches for him.
In the Fargo Courier News all
Baer's drawings bore the union label
the workingman was favor
ably inclined.
Then there were the farmers,
whose lot he once lad shared in his
brief twenty-five years of life. The
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates sought to impeach his record

on the soil. Once they chars he
made himself the laughing-stock OF
the community by covering a wagon
load of flax to protect it from the
frost. 1t seems that flax is imper-
vious to chill, and the charge was a
grave one to make in that agricul-
tural district. 1t appeared at one
time that Baer could not survive
this indication that he was untitled
to sit in the national councils.
Overcomes Paint.
But Baer got out his artists cray
on and drew a picture of the farm
wagon driving through a terrific
Wind-storm. The tarpaulin. he
proved to all within hearing or sight,
was necessary to prevent his harvest
from blowing away. Having thus
displayed statesmanlike ability for
explaining away damaging evidence,
the race was conceded to the young
Non-partisan.

In vain the Democratic candidate
adopted Norwegian accent and
spoke of his Scandinavian parentage.
Without avail did the Republican as
pirant assure the farmers that they
were being misled by ,ch socialistic
ideas as State-owned flour-mills and
packing houses.
Vote for John NJ.
The day before the election thous-
ands of farmers in motor-cars called
on their bankers, merchants, and fell
low citizens in the cities and urged
them to vote for John M. In some
places motor parades were formed

with farmers wives and children. At
