When we as Montanans express our
interest in our pioneers. and in many
instances our ancestors. we are but
living up to a world -old custom OF the
race. The Greeks told Of pioneers. If
SO We may style them, who were OF
n tabled heroic race OF divine origin
The Romans trace their ancestry to
the famous twins, sons of War and
the Home. The French laud their
Charlemagne, the English their King
Arthur and his famous knights. Our
New England has her pilgrim Faith
ers and we our pioneers
Although we are as yet living too
near those pioneers for any such fan
eiful legends to have grown up as
are possessed by Greece. France and
England, perhaps in the cuturies to
come their deeds of adventure, daring
and hardships may furnish founda-
tons for such a store. And the same
motive that made Greek authors trace
their ancestors to the gods, and the
English bring their Arthurs from the
Island kingdom Of Avalon" prompts
US to inquire into the origin Of our
first settlers. But here the similarity
ceases. Unlike those ancient chroni-
clers, we have not pieced out the
meager records found with the fruits
OF our imagination. Montana Is too
young yet for that.

FARMERS SUFFER
FROM COLD WAVE
Estimate OF Million Dollars Lost In
Truck RegiOn-Warme Wealth
er Predicted.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Severe cold
Gather Of the past three days has
cost farmers OF the south millions OF
dollars and will result in an imme-
diate curtailment of the supply OF
early vegetables. Districts upon WHICH
much Of the North and East are de-
pendent for supplies were swept by
the cold wave, Florida reporting IS
per cent. Of early vegetables killed
and Louisiana one-half. In South
Carolina 1000 acres, mostly of cab
bage was laid waste Fruits and
vegetables in south Georgia and in
other sections also were badly damag-
ed or destroyed.
A large percentage Of citrus fruits
had been picked in Florida, which
prevented greater loss. While an ac-
curate estimate OF monetary damage
in that State can not be made, all
reports agree that it will be figured
in millions. A conservative estimate
of the South Carolina damage fs
100000.
Grapefruit and oranges remaining
on trees were destroyed and in many
instances even the older trees were
killed. Reports to Jacksonville indi-
cate that there will be hardly tree
in the State that will not at least
shed its leaves. Young shoots and
smaller trees succumbed when the
first cold weather came
Extreme cold weather predicted for
the lower peninsular section of Flori-
,, da for last night did not materialize
and with rising temperatures Tuesday
night it was hoped that the full ex-
tent of the damage had been done.
The temnerature at Tampa Tuesday
was 81, but reports did not show that
much loss had been added to the
damage done Saturday and Sunday
nights.
The Northwest storm has passed be-
vond observation, the weather bureau
announced tonight and the high winds
have diminished along the middle AT
lantic coast. Fair weather contin-
ued today along the middle and South
Atlantic and east Gulf States but in
dications are that there will be rains
in the east Gulf States and Tennessee

Temperatures will rise Wednesday

PREPAREDNESS URGED

Columbia, Feb. 5.-Looking towards
the possibility of the enactment Of a
"bone-dry" prohibition law in this
State, the liquor houses throughout
the country are urging the people
OF the State to lay in supply-and,
from the appearance Of the crowds
surrounding the liquor rooms at the
express Offices in this city and other
cities and towns in the State, good
many people are taking the advice Of
the liquor houses--or, at least acting
upon their own judgment, which is
along the line Of the advice which the
liquor houses are giving.
A typical letter has been received
by a number Of people in Columbia.
The position of the governor is not
