COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of St. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Hors; island and a
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake, was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores of
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more citizens of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
preciate this fact. The colonel al
most single-handed is doing a great
deal to advertise the Flathead coun-
try in the east and he is entitled to
the hearty support of the people of
this commonwealth in these efforts.

his creed or color, these opportuni-
ties will be within the reach of all,
just as the many advantages of the
army Y. M. G. A. are open to every
enlisted man.
Besides educational features, the
army Y. M. c. A. offers the men
amusement, entertainment, reading
matter, place to spend their idle
time, to write letters home, to find
companionship of a decent sort. 1t
is always open to them. The secre-
taries in charge are men who have
had experience with soldiers. They
know their failings and their good
points. They are there to serve them,
and this they do most unselfishly.
With the elimination of liquor, the
banishment of dissolute women five
miles from any cantonment, the in
stitution of educational, religious and
physical features, there is thrown
about the soldier of today a far bet
ter influence than ever existed in the
service before. AS result, an army
is being created where officer and
enlisted men are in reality comrades; ;
whre discipline is strict, but not un-
bearable, where men meet in a spirit
of friendship and in an atmosphere
far different from that which army
circles have ever known.

TREASURE STATE
BOYS ARE FINEST
CHEEKS BECOME TANNED AND
FEET TIRED, BUT ENTHU-
SIASM STICKS.

Marching and Drilling Are Principle
Occupations of Boys at New Train
ing Camp at American Lake; Men
Prese Odd Appearance in
Clothes in Which They Arrive.
The Ronan pioneer., 1917-10-19

The Montana boys are undoubtedly
the finest physical specimens at Camp
Lewis according to reports from the
camp on American Lake
Many in the first contingent got
non-commissioned officers positions
as they received training before the
remainder got there. They all take
the work seriously and seem to real
ize that they have got a real Job to
perform.
Generally speaking, the boys are
feeling fine and looking good. Their
cheeks have become tanned, while
their backs are straight and their e, es
clear and wide-awake. The fat ones
seem to have grown thinner, while
the skinny ones have grown heavier.
Their feet are tired, and their mus
cles sore and aching, but their en-
thusiasm still runs high and their
spirit is by no means faltering.
At present each one of them wears
a khaki shirt, many of them have
army hats with strap and cord COM
plete and some of them parade in
army shoes. They all continue to
wear the identical pants in which
they arrived, the same being held in
place by suspenders or by belt as
each individual owner prefers.
Quarters arc Comfortable.
The boys are comfortably quar-
tered in two-story buildings, which
are light, clean, roomy and airy, but
the design has little artistic merit
and its exterior is guiltless of any
trace of paint. Each man has his
own cot, with new, clean blankets,
and these cots rest on the floor and
not, as once intended, arranged in
tiers.
The buildings face the parade
ground near it's southern end and are
near the. middle of the reserve.
The reserve is a large flat covered
here and there by trees and dotted
occasionally by small lakes. The
ground is carpeted with grass; there
is no underbrush, paved auto roads
run through it and the company
streets are neatly graded.
On these streets, under the trees,
by the water, in the open field--in
fact wherever one might look, men
may be found drilling. They are in
squads and companies of every size.
Some are in uniform, some in semi
others in civilian clothers
their derby hats, patent
leather shoes and wrinkled overalls
with all the dignity and military
'wank that they can muster. Some

and there had heard rumors of gold
discoveries being maden over on the
Deer Lodge" said MIR. Stuart in tell
ing of the discovery. "Accordingly, in
the spring of 1858 we novel over
onto the Flint creek and camped on
Fred Burr creek, just above where
the Bi-Metallic mill now stands. Our
first object in moving was to Kill,
game and dry meat enough to last US
to Fort Bridger and to do Il little
prospecting.
"The Blackeet Indi,1s gave us a
lot of trouble, attempting to steal
our horses. Later we moved over
near the mouth of Willow creek, be-
low where the town of Hall now is,
and built an Indian-proof corral.
"On May 2, 1858, James Stuart,
Reese Anderson, Thomas Adams
and l packed up the tools we had
which consisted of an old square
spade with the hand-hold broken out
OF the top of the handle, and a tin
bread pan that we had brought from
California-and started for Benetsee
creek (as we then called Gold creek)
on prospecting trip
"We followed up the creek about
10 miles, carefully searching for any
prospect holes or evidence of pros
pecting, but found none. Near the
bank of the creek at the foot of the
mountains we sank a hole about five
feet deep and found 10 cents in fine
gold to the pan of sand and gravel.
This convinced us that there were
rich gold mines in this vicinity, but
as we had no tools or provisions, we
could not do much prospecting.
About Shutdown When Found.
1T was almost sundown. We built
fire, cooked our supper and sat
around the campfire discussing the
situation until dark. We decided to
stick to our original p1an-kill and
dry meat enough to last us to Fort
Bridger and then buy supplies and
return and prospect for mines.
''The Blackfeet Indians were be-
stealing parties were lurking every
where We selected a dense patch
of willows near the creek and as
soon as it became quite dark we ev-
tinguished our fire and quietly led
our horses into the center of the
willows. Here each one selected the
softest spot he could find, rolled up
in his blankets and went to sleep,
leaving one man on guard. The
guard was relieved every two hours.
"The prospect hole dug by us was
the first prospecting for gold in what
is now Montana, and this is the ac-
count of the first real discovery of
gold within the state.
1--WE did go out to Fort Bridger,
and it was not until the fall of 1860
that we returned to Montana. And
it was on the eighth day of May that
we set the first string Of sluices ever
used in Montana and began to mine

With Holiday Greetings-Warning
Issued to Mail Early and Remem-

mail your Christmas gifts and let
ters early" is the warning again be-
ing sent out by the postoffice depart
ment, but this time it is adding the
phrase "and don't forget that the pos
tage rates are going up"
When you send Christmas or
New Year letter or engraved greet
ing properly enclosed, it is going to
cost you three cents postage, and if
you mail one of the fancy Christmas
or New Years cards, which you find
in the postal card rack, you will have
to annex two-cent stamp.
Because so many men are in the
army the postoffice department ex-
poets the greatest Christmas traffic
in it's history. So if congestion is
avoided, it is pointe1 out, people will
have to do their Christmas shopping
and mailing very early. Recently the
postmaster general and the secretar-
les of the war and navy departments
issued warning to the public to mail
their Christmas packages for soldiers
not later than November Is.
BE Careful About Addresses.
It is the intention to deliver
Christmas mail to soldiers with the
expeditionary forces on Christmas
morning and plans are being perfect
ed with that end in view, but the CO.
operation of those sending them will
be needed in order to carry out this
plan.
"The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assuring
a happy Christmas at the 'front.'" says
the statement, "are to mail early, ad-
dress intelligently and pack securely.
Every package must bear conspicu-
ously the words, Christmas MALL the
complete address of the person for
whom it is intended, and in the upper
left-hand corner the name and ad-
dress of the sender.
Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy
inspection by the postmaster. No
parcel will be dispatched to France
which has not the postmaster's GER
tificate that lie contains no prohibited
articles"
The rate of postage is announced
at II cents per pound.
New Postal Rates
The increase in first class mail
rates becomes effective November 2.
After that date postage on all outgo-
ing letters will be 3 cents, while
those mailed in the city can be sent
at the present rate of cents. Post
cards in all instances must bear 2
cents worth of postage.
According to information from A.
M. Dockery, third assistant postmas-
ter general, the department will issue
2-cent postals and Scent stamps as
soon as a supply can be manufacture
ed. 1t is not possible, or adviable,
to provide sufficient stocks of postals
and stamps in exchange for those
now in stock in the various post
offices.
In instances where the full amount
of postage is not attached the mail
will be held at the postoffice until the
addressee forwards the missing
amount. The mail will not leave the
postoffice until the full amount of
postage has been supplied.
Mailing rates on all other classes
of mail, including parcel post, remain
the same as during the past.

The Y. M. G. A. has undertaken

The army Y. M. G. A. is instituting

that wish to improve their spare
time. Back of the movement is the
national war work council of the Y.

approval Of the United States govern
ment. In the western department in
structors will be supplied through the
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of California. Debating clubs

new national army can be made as
profitable to him as he wishes to
make it.
Movement is Unique.
Never before in the history of the
world has a government backed up
a movement that is so extensive and
far-reaching. 1t is the purpose to
make the men of the new national
army of superior intelligence, to fit
them in this way to be better fight

go back to private life they will
command higher salaries and better
