Blood Indians, on reprisal bent,
put a check on the ambitions of
Ophir, a little, town that was founded
at the mouth of the Marias river, fif
ty years ago, and which aspired to be-
come the rival of Fort Benton. They
killed about half of the promoters
and frightened the rest away, and
the river laurels that were old Fort
Benton's remained with her until the
coming of the railroad and the conse-
quent decline of river traffic.
In 1864 Fort Benton was in the
heydey of her river prosperity. She
was the head of navigation on the
Missouri, and the water gateway of
all the great northwest. The river
below her was alive with stern wheel
steamers of light draft, carrying ad-
venturers and supplies into the new
land. Detachments of troops and
government supplies came up the
river and cleared for the remote
places. Men made rich by a seasons
success in the placer mines made the
place their rendezvous while waiting
for the boat that would take them
down the river to civilization.

winter dreaming of their rich har-
vest of next year.
The residents of Fort Benton were
naturally very much incensed at
oMore's designs upon their prosper
ity. They became so antagonistic that
he was warned to keep away from the
town, and several of his associates
who ventured there to make neces-
sary purchases were compelled to get
out of the place in hurry and with
out dignity.
About this time a Blood Indian, on
spree with half breed named Bas-
trich and Joseph Pearson, a Cana
dian, was murdered, and his body
thrown into the river. His tribe de-
cided to make reprisal on the white
men. Fort Benton was too large and
strong for them, so they selected
Ophir as the place of vengeance.
A few days after the Benton mur-
der ten white men and negro from
Ophir went up the river to cut timber
for the new settlement. Calf Shirt,
Blood chieftan, with a strong party
of warriors, took them by surprise,
and killed every one of them.
This tragedy was the death blow
of Ophir. The settlers lost heart,
and one by one slipped away. The
repairs to the steamer having been
completed, the boat dropped down
the river, and it's departure marked
the end of Moore's project to build
up rival to Fort Benton.

the townsite, of the deep harbor and
dwelt on the fact that his town was

the first town of consequence the voy-
ayers would reach after the long trip

N. P. ENGINEER TO
SENATOR MAKER
FOSTER HELPED RAILROAD TO
PICK OUT CHOICEST ROUTE
THROUGH STATE.
Late Eastern Montana Pioneer, Spent
Nearly 40 Years Actively Partici-
pating in Industrial, Political and
Social Activities OF State; Helped
Make Myers Senator.

One of the engineers, who survey
ed the Northern Pacific right of way
into Montana and across the eastern
section of the state, was the late
Fred H. Foster, whose recent death
at Billings came suddenly and as a
great shock to prominent acquaint-
ances throughout the state. For
nearly 40 years he was active in the
Industrial, political and social life
of the Treasure state, and played an
important part in developing the
eastern section.
It was largely due to report made
by one of the parties with which
Foster was working that the North
ern Pacific selected route up the
Yellowstone valley, rather than
across the Musselshell country, where
the Milwaukee now travels. AS a
member of the surveying parties Fos-
ter made trips through both sections
and rendered reports on the charac-
ter of the country and the possibili-
ties of future development.
Should the railroad go straight
across to the state through the Mus
selshell country it would traverse
considerable grange land,' which in
those days was considered good only
for grazing purposes. If route was
chosen up the Yellowstone, then the
builders would be much richer, for
under a government grant they were
to get every other section in a strip
40 miles wide, which later was made
SO miles, along the right of way. So
naturally the builders chose a route
up the fertile Yellowstone.
Starts Business at Billings.
Foster early foresaw the possibili-
ties of building a large town where
Billings is now located and so after
two years with the railroad surveyors
he forsook the tripod and went into
the general merchandise business at
Coulson, then the head of navigation
on the Yellowstone, and located one
mile east of the present site of Bill
ings.
The country was new and most OF
the land, except for that granted to
the railroads, was owned by the gov
ernment At Billings the railroad
company owned two sections, greatly
overlapping. Foster got an adjoln-
ing quarter and in 1883 he plated
it, having forsaken the river town of
Coulson for the more promising rail-
road division point of Billings.
From then until his death Foster
played a greater part in the develop
ment of that community, than almost

PLENTY TO EAT FOR ALL
WHO CUT OUT WHEAT

There has been no complaint,
practically at all, throughout the
state over the elimination of
meat and wheat from the diet OH
certain days, according to lead
ing hotel men, and in fact the
general public seems to like the
change.
In some of the hotels they
have introduced the war recipe
for making bread, cakes, waffles,
etc, and the patrons, while en-
joying the change, have not re-
allied that they were getting a
mixture of corn meal and wheat,
instead of the latter alone.
Instead of wheat, walters are
boosting for oatmeal and corn
dishes. Cube sugar is being put
in the discard and favor is Civ
en- to the granulated product
from Billings and Missoula. Ic-
ings are taboo but jellies still
have their place. Nuts and fruit
are available at all times.
Every effort is being made to
to save the meat supply, and the
big meat eater is taking to fish,
finding satisfaction i'm the fact
that salmon is the Equivalent of
steak, and pound for pound
measures more in caloric units.
Poultry and wild game are still
strong ON the menu. Rashers of
4 bacon and toast are two things
being placed in the discard.

any other. He was a member of the
first board Of county commission
ers of Yellowstone county, and serv-
ed as school trustee, county clerk
and clerk of the district court. In
1889, he was chosen mayor and was
reelected in 1898, 1908, 1905 and
1907. In 1895 he was secretary Of
the Montana state senate and par
ticipated in the work of the legis-
lative session that adopted the codes
and named the capital commission.
Gets Crow Reservation Opened.
Credit for the legislation that re-
suited in the opening to settlement
of an extensive section of the Grow
Indian reservation is due largely to
his efforts. He went to Washing
ton and was instrumental in securing
the passage of bill authorizing the
appointment of a commission to treat
with the Indians and secure their
consent. Afterwards he served as a
member of the commission.
In the political life of the state he
played an important part, partici-
pating in some of it's most stirring in
cidents. He was one of the principal
actors in the little drama that result
ed in 1911 in the election of Henry
l.. Myers of Hamilton as United
States senator to succeed the late
Thomas Fl. Carter.
The opening of that memorable
session found him in Helena as one
Of the managers of the T. j. Walsh
campaign for the United States SEN
ate. The democrats controlled the
legislature with majority on joint
ballot of six, but it was impossible
to get them to caucus. Walsh led
in the number of democratic votes
received, w. G. Conrad running Sec
ond. The deadlock lasted until the
final day of the session. In break
ing it Foster played a leading part.
Decision to Name Myers.
In efforts to break the deadlock
democrats had been urged to vote
for several of their party's prominent
members, but without avail. At a
little conference, which was attended
by Foster, it was decided to try a
switch to Judge Myers of Hamil-
ton. So on the final day, at the psy
Geological moment, when the voting
had already started, Foster slips
down to one Of the senator's from
eastern Montana and says: "Why
don't you vote for Judge Myers?"
"Who is he?" was the answer.
"Why, one of the old-timers, who
has always stood by the party and is
all right. Give him a complimentary
vote" urged Foster.
And, the solon did. So did other
democrats and those who already
had voted for someone else, changed
their votes, and the lieutenant gov
ernor announcer that Henry l.. Ny
ers of Ravalli county, was elected
United States senator.
Senator Was Fooled.
But the senator, who started the
voting, according to the tale, did not
know just exactly who Judge Myers
was. If he had, the result might
have been different, and Foster knew
it.
That particular solon and Myers
had served in the legislature together
during the famous session IN which
