the government" the old man unused
on, after a pause. "Down between
Memphis and st. Louis, was on the
Gilchrist, and the Saturn, and the
City of Memphis, and the Clyde, and
the Fred Harold, and the Mayflower,
and the big tow-boats, pretty nigh
all of 'em l been on-the Beaver, the

1907 I took a little run down to Cen
trail America and spent about two
years down there on the President of
Zelaya-named after that fellow that
used to be president before the
United States got after him and
chased him out of the country. We
ran her from Cape Gracias up the
River Wanks, between Nicaragua and
Honduras, in the mahogany trade.
II had some queer experiences
down there. l recollect one time
brought down $4,000 in gold from
up river and it was in charge of a
bunch of Musquito Indians, without
any guard of any kind-they brought
it down from the mines and they nev-

used to say that you could trust those
Indians with anything except booze
and tobacco, and they'd steal that
any place you'd hide it, l guess we
all got our limits.

He blew most of his winnings in on

VOLUNTEERS TO
ASSIST BOARDS
PATRIOTIC CITIZENS URGED TO
HELP IN CLASSIFYING
DRAFTED MEN.
Needed in Gathering Data
on Men Available for National
Army and in Classifying Them Into
Five Groups, Showing Availability
for Service.

Patriotic citizens throughout the
state have been asked by the presi-
dent to volunteer their assistance to
the local and district exemption
boards in compiling data furnished
by the young men subject to draft in
the national army, when the work
of classification begins December Is.
When this data is complied, which
it is hoped will be done throughout
the country before the middle of Feb
ruary, the war department will have
a complete record of the industrial,
domestic, educational and physical
qualifications of the young men of
the state, between the ages of 21 and
81 years. All drafted young men will
be divided into five classes, depend
ing upon the answers they make to a
series of questions, sent them by the
local boards
The time of their summons into
the army life will depend upon their
class, it being the intention to call
first those in the first class, which
will be composed of young men phys
ically fit and without exemption
cause. Whether young man will be
of more service in civilian life than
in the army and whether he has de-
pendents will be shown by his an
swers and the position he holds in
the classification.
Classifying the Data.
1t is obvious that in classifying and
examining all of the men of draft
age, the local exemption boards will
have to have assistance. 1t is be-
lieved that patriotic men and women
will do the work. 1t has been sug-
gested that principals and teachers of
schools, clerks, college professors,
The Ronan pioneer., 1917-11-23

professional men, lawyers, clergy
men, members of the council of de-
fense and otljer qualified citizens
will be only too willing to do their
bit by helping.
Those who are employed in the
daytime will be asked to contribute
evenings for one or two weeks or for
ten days as may be needed. AS many
taneously. Questions will be started
out December Is, at least five per
cent of the total number in each
local district being mailed daily. The
mailing should be finished by the end
of 20 days. Each young man will
have seven days in which to COM
plete his answers and return them to
the board, when the work of compila-
ton can commence. If the volunteers
in sufficient number help, the en-
tire job in any district should be COM
pleted in the first 80 days. If pos
sible the war department wants it
done in two weeks.
Work for Lawyers and Doctors.
Lawyers and doctors are expected
to volunteer their services, the for
u1C1 W dCL III du duVlSOIy capacity TO
the young men in filling out their ap-
plications and the latter in making
the medical examinations
Under the regulations a place is
to be provided convenient to every
local board where registrants may go
for free advice and assistance in MAX
ing out their answers. The county
judge or other judicial officer of
similar court is placed at the head of
committee of lawyers in each vi
cinity and this committee is charged
with the duty of seeing lawyers and
other volunteers present to help reg
1strants in filing out their clossificat-
ing papers.
Newspapers are to be given an op-
portunity to give volunteer publicity
and police officers are to help in
searching out and apprehending any
who may not respond promptly to the
of the local boards.
Mobolizing Man Power.
The new arrangement is expected
to bring about a more perfect mobil-
ization of the available man power
of the nation, so that if necessary an
army of several millions may be
taken into the service without delay
after the completion of the work of

when he had ON board General Sher
man and General Terry on a tour O.
inspection of the frontier posts. Sher
man had his little boy, Tom, with
him, and l remember one time we
were all in the pilot house when little
Tom asked the general how it was
that the pilots knew the river. The
old general says, I suppose they
know the best of it and guess at the
rest and that was good deal the
feel the river as we went along. You
had to take new bearings almost
every trip.
"The old Yellowstone was a par
ticularly hard bit of water to navf-
gate-I guess it still is-and we had
to go by such steering directions as
these: Run lefthand shore up past
a big bluff, then across from the
deadwood in left hand bluff over to
righthand bend. Run to the head of
this short righthand bend, then cir
Gle out between two islands and come
back to righthand prairie bend,
and so on. That was up near Critten-
den Island and those were my faith
er's steering notes that he took on his
first trip up the Yellowstone on the
Far West.
Buffalo in Herds Crossed River.
"In those days it was common
thing for big herds of buffalo swim
boats, like the grasshoppers used to
do the trains in Kansas.
''The first boat I ever drew salary
as steersman on was the F. Y. Bat
chelor-that was in '78-she was the
boat that took the Custer monument
up. She was built at Pittsburgh, Pa,
and my father brought her from
there up the river to the head waters
in IT. She was sunk afterwards at
Sioux City. Then ran on the Lady
Lee, and the Eclipse, and the Rose
bud and good many others OF those
old upriver boats. I was on the
Melasino for five years, (she was a
government boat, a sidewheler) and
also on the Arethusa and the Allan
tic, both government boats. The F.
Y. Bachelor was the last of the cid
private packet boats, aside from the
boats that did business
up there.

HAVRE JURY CONyICTS
SPOTTER OF GAMBLING

The state supreme court will be
given an opportunity to decide if
prosecuting attorneys or the attor-
ney general may employ spotter de-
tectives in ferreting out violations of
the anti-gambling law, as an appeal
will be taken from the verdict of a
jury in the district court at Havre
convicting P. G. Apple on a charge
of gambling and filming him s1o0.
Apple was employed by Attorney
General Ford to secure evidence in
the Hayre cleanup campaign. He
first secured the evidence against the
red-light houses and then started aft
er the gamblers. He was advised by
the attorney general, if it were neces-
sary, to "sit in" at gambling game.
Apple was so "sitting i'm when
the local officers made raid and ar
rested all the players. Whether the
local officers were tipped off that

BEST OF CARE FOR
STATES WOUNDED
RIBBONS OF HONOR WILL RE
GIVEN FOR EVERY WOUND
RECEIVED.
special Arrangements Made for TAX
Ing Care of Those Soldiers. Who
cannot Stand Mental Strain,
Which Affects Many Soldiers; Gov
ernor to Look After Them.

Montana soldiers, who NAV be
wounded in France, will not only re-
celve the very best of medical care
and attention. but each wounded man
will be given ribbon badge of honor
to be worn on the right breast.
The war department has sent to
commanding officers regulations re-
garding the distribution of ribbons to
wounded men, providing that one rib
bon shall be given for each wound
sustained in action, except that only
one ribbon shall be given if soldier
is wounded twice on the same day.
Reports on Wounded.
In reporting the bestowal of rib
bons, the commanding officer will
make separate report showing how
each individual was wounded and this
data will form part of the soldiers
record.
No detail in caring for the men who
may suffer the agonies of war is be-
ing overlooked by the war depart
ment. For instance, complete plans
have been made to care for the SOL
dlers OF Montana and other states
whose minds may not be able to bear
the strain of the battle front.
In orders Just issued the war de-
partment outlines the plan that will
be carried out in caring for men
driven insane by shell shock in the
fighting line in France
Care for Mentally Afflicted.
Experience with the allies has
shown that many minds break down
under the terrific strain. Insane
patients who can with safety be left
to private treatment will be discharg-
ed and sent home to families and
friends, if able to receive them.
Insane patients not thus provided
for will be sent to the government
hospital for the insane at Washing
ton, provided the disability is incur
red in line of duty.
Soldiers stricken with insanity un-
der circumstances not considered in
line of duty will be returned to in
stitutions in their own states.
