WHO IN MONTANA
HAS SEEN EAGLE
GUARDIAN BIRD OF BLACK EA.
GLE FALLS, FIRST SEEN BY
LEWIS AND CLARK.
Half Century Later What Is Believed
to Have Been Same Bird, Was
Seen by General Reynolds, Who
Came to the Great Falls of the Mis-
souri, in 1860,

Are there any old time pioneers
living in Montana who have seen, in
the earlier days of their residence in
this state, the famous Lewis and
Clark eagle? If there should be
Frank B. Linderman of Helena
would be glad to hear from them,
An eagle, long-lived, vigilant, the
guardian spirit of the Liberty of the
Missouri, is believed to have lived
on an island just below the cataract
which lifts its tumbly head three
miles below the mouth of the Sun
river, from the time of Clark's ex-
ploration until at least as late as
1872. Lewis and Clark describe the
bird and the nest which they first
saw in 1906. General Reynolds, who
visited the spot in 1860, found the
nest and a large eagle in it, in 1860.
Again, in 1872, Thomas Roberts,
who was ordered by the government
to examine the upper stretches of the
Missouri from Three Forks to Fort
Benton, to determine the possibilities
of its navigation with small steam
ers came upon the grim old spirit.
Roberts Tells of Falls.
Here is how Roberts described
Black Eagle falls of the Missouri, in
a book written in the seventies:

stands out below to midriver in the
vast amphitheater just under and be-
low the falls.
"ArOund the turn above the great
falls a short distance is a cataract or
cascade of 13 feet declivity. Look
ing up the river, it has the exact ap-
pearance of a broken down dam
stretching from shore to shore, with
the abuttments and seeming rock
walls on the. left preserved.
Below the old lock, in mid-river,
stands the Devils Cardtable,' a slab
about Is feet or more square, and
ten feet or more above the water,

pedestal, scarcely a foot in diameter.

descent of the river through the falls
being 293 feet.

Roberts account concludes, "of the
stream, and watching the clear water
flowing swiftly by, it is curious to
contemplate the vast extent and v-r-
iety of country and climate it trav-
erses ere is is lost in the immense
volume discharging by the different
mouths of the Mississippi river, four

On the basis of the count of chill
dren of school age in the state, H. A.
Davee, superintendent of public in
struction, estimates that the popula-
ton of Montana has increased 70 per
cent in the last six years. There
were 147,374 persons of school age
in the state last September. Allow
ing for the same proportion of school
children to the total number of per-
sons in the state as existed at the
time of the last federal census would
give a population for Montana of
648,346. This is much greater than
the latest government estimate of
the number of persons in the state
a computation which supposes the
increase to be in the same proportion
as was maintained between 1900 and
1910, whereas it is universally ad-
mitted that the growth of Montana In
the last six years has been much
greater than during the preceding
decade.
Regarded as Highly Conservative.
The Davee estimate is regarded
as highly conservative as other au-
thorities place the population of the
state at three-Quarters of a million.
However, as a third of the year has
elapsed since the school census was
taken and the influx in both town
and country has been considerable
since that time, the present popula-
ton, on the same basis, may be re-
garded rs close to 100000.
The school census shows an in
crease of 1850 children of school
age in the state in one year, which
is equivalent to an increase of 55,O4O
in population during that time. A
particularly large share of the in
crease is in the farming counties.
According to the figures, the 10
leading counties in Montana are Sill
yer Bow, Cascade, Yellowstone, Mis-
soula, Flathead, Carbon, Sheridan,
Hill and Lewis and Clark.
Last Census Gave 376,O53.
In 1910 the federal census gave
Montana 376,053 population and the
school census was 85,126.
The annual report of Superintend-
ent Davee gives the estimated popu.
lation by counties in 1916, as fol-
lows:
Beaverhead 9,2SS; Big Horn A.

PAPER FROM .
MONTANA SPRUCE
HIGH PRICE OF PRINT PAPER
TO START PULP MANUFAC-
TORIES IN STATE.
Mckee and Rhule, With Montana
Capitalists, Have Eye On the
Spruce Forests of West; Minne-
apolis Company Is Formed to
Build Mill on Flathead Lake.

1t is not at all improbable that the
high price of print paper will at
tract to Montana several large pulp
manufacturing concerns, to manu-
facture paper stock from the meas
ures of spruce timber, which abounds
in certain sections of the state.
To give some idea of the possibili-
ties of this industry, it may be re-
called that at the recent ~investiga-
ton into the cost Of manufacturing
print paper, federal experts fixed the
cost at $1.68 per hundred pounds
For this value the average daily pa.
per in Montana, and all over the
west for that matt y, is paying on
new contracts all the way from 81
to Sc per hundred pounds, and small.
er consumers, those who do not pur.
chase in carload lots, are paying
much higher prices.
Mckee Would Make Paper.
James Mckee, a manufacturing
printer Of Spokane and Butte, togeth.
er with Ray Rhule IF Butte and a
number of other Butte capitalists

pulp paper mill in the Flathead
country.

facturer of western Canada, contem.

fish a similar industry.
The Glacier Pulp and Paper com.
pany, a e concern, organized by St
Paul and Minneapolis financiers, will
construct a large paper mill near Biz
Fork, on the Flathead lake. This
mill is to be constructed at once, and
should be in operation late in the
fall of this year.

idea of founding the school, and he
consented to sell. The deal was
consummated a few days ago. The
company agreed to allow him a life
time privilege to live there in the hut
of his building, and to range his cat
tie on the land that goes with the
power rights. On coming into pos

river, where the descent is 26 feet
vertically. On a little island just be-
low these falls stands a portion of a
large cottonwood tree, the top ap-
parently having been blown off.
Among the branches still remaining
is an eagles nest. When I approached
the place. riding, and appeared on
the bluff above it, an old black eagle
scared Immediately over my head,
SO close that I. almost became
alarmed for. the safety of my hat.
After a moments survey, it alighted
on a jutting rock within a hundred
feet of me, where it remained, until
one of the men coming up, dis
charged a pistol at it, before I could
stop him. He missed the eagle. AS
l had a good opportunity to judge the
age OF the bird, his feathers being
soiled, torn and otherwise old-look-
ing, l came to the conclusion that he
was probably the same eagle whose
nest in the same position on the
same island was seen by Lewis and
Clark in 1905. General Reynolds,
who visited the spot in 1860, also
saw the eagle and the nest, and notes
in his report his belief in its identity.
The sight of this eagle to me was one
of the peculiarly pleasant incidents
of our reconnaissance"
Eagles Are Long Lived
1t would be interesting to know
whether the Oldest pioneers of Great
Falls ever saw the tree and the nest,
and whether they. had ever heard the
story. Eagles, like parrots, are be-
lieved to be very long-lived, 80 years
being the average, it is said. and it
is quite possible that the Bird which
flew screaming above Lewis and
Clark was also the bird which greet
ed Roberts,, 81 years later. The
guardian spirit, truly, of the falls. it
seems, and it may have witnessed
many strange sights, in it's long life,
for the falls doubtless were the site
of many stirring passages in the day
when the red men held u%ndisputed
sway over this great domain.
An Early Day Description.
Roberts description of the other
falls is worth repeating:
Below these falls" he says, mean
ing those just described above, "arc
rapids of nine and a half feet fall,
followed at intervals by others of
four, three and two feet respectively;
then a cascade of fourteen feet, all in
a distance of less than five miles.
Immediately below the cascade is the
grand fall Of nearly SO feet, as stated
by Lewis and Clark. The entire riv-
er. over nine hundred feet wide,
pitches over a rim of rock, shaped
like a segment of a circle, in one un-
broken sheet. The noise, the sprays,
and the rainbows are not much short
of the grandest displays of Niagara.
six miles further down brings us
to the Great Falls, where the river
jumps, with M bound. 80 feet. 1t
is. however, only at the right bank
that the descent is vertical, the other
half of the river passing by steps
over the lodges, ten feet or more at a
time. No foothold for man or beast
exists by the edge of the falls. We
had to pass by climbing up the cliffs
and around the head of a deeply cut
ravine that opens down to the river.
A good view is to be had from the

GREAT FALLS RECLUSE FALLS
INTO FORTUNE; WILL GIVE
1T TO SCHOOL FOR BOYS,
Lives Life of Cave Man and Will
Come to Him; the Remarkable
Story of James Cowan, Montana
Hermit-P hilanthrOpist.

If you were so old that you were
approaching the allotted span of
years, and all your life you had
walked hand in hand with adversely
and privation, and suddenly there
should come to you, like a bolt of
lightning. from the clear sky, a for
tune, would you feel like devoting
the major portion of this money to
the goOd'of your fellow man?
That is just what is happening in
Great Falls. James H. Cowan, a re-
cluse, in, the winter of a life of hard
ship, has come into a fortune
through the sale of power rights to
the Montana Power company. He
has realized from this sale $4,000
in cash, and has deposited 100000 Of
this money in a Great Falls bank for
the founding of an institution by
which he hopes poor boys, who will
work, may acquire the education
which in his youth was denied him.
Lived Like a Cave Man.
The cave man in a tropical coun-
try lived a life of luxury as compared
with COwan's experience. Twenty
five years or more ago he came from
his Michigan home, too much of IN
invalid to do ordinary farm work.
He filed on a homestead nea Great
Falls. The government held that he
did not comply with the homestead
regulations, and took the land away
from him. In the meantime he had
filed on a powersite, on the Missouri
river. a few miles below Great Falls.
Here he built him a primitive dwell
ing place. Over a drgout he con-
stru0ted a rude shelter, and in this
cheerless habitation he has lived
through the bleak winters for the
past 20 years.
Back of his coming to Montana is
the story of a shattered romance, of
the. girl who preferred another. Her
decision condemned him, in his own
mind, to the life of a recluse, and he
came west to seek solace and
health. But Notwithstanding this
disappointment and the. life of pri-
walton which he seems to seek out,
he has kept alive in his heart the
love Of his fellow man, and the de-
sire to accomplish some good in the
world.
He is a student of socialism, and
his, socialistic beliefs, firmly i'm
bedded in his mind through years of
reading, almost blocked the nice deal
which put him in pc -ession of his
money. He objected to selling his
power site to the Montana Power
company, because it is a great cor
poration.
Would Have Given Rights Away
He almost preferred giving his
rights away. DrOviding there WOuld
be some community benefit as the
pursuaded him that he could sell,
and use the money in some philan-
thropic work. This gave him the

Needs But Little Money.
along with but very little money!"
said this philanthropic hermit. "Ten
thousand dollars is a lot of money
for me. I can take that amount of
money, in a country like Montana,
and not only make a good living, but
accumulate more money. If I should
be still further successful I would
want to put more money into my
school.
Il have bought 40 acres of land
down near Salem, on the Milwaukee
railroad. It is a fine piece of land,
and l propose to build my school on
it. Boys who attend the school can
do some gardening on the land and
raise all the vegetables the school
needs. I might live at the school
myself and look after the agricul-
ture, although / would want to have
some scientific agriculturists to in
struct them in modern farming meth
DDS. In this way the boys could
help to earn their way through
school, and the little work they
would do would build them up into
fine, strong men,. If they would
earn their own living the element
of charity would be eliminated, and
their ~self-respect would not be hurt.
II believe it is possible to build up
an institution out of this little wind
fall of mine, which Providence has
placed in my way, to do some real
good, and l I'm willing to risk my
money in the undertaking. I am
not very old and perhaps l can make
some more money to put into it, and
out of it might grow a great
school, which would help many boys
and fit them to become useful men,
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has a comfortable fortune in the
bank, Cowan is still living in his rude
shack on the wind swept banks of
the Missouri. The wintry blasts
whistle through the cracks OF this
poorly constructed hut and are old
time friends and have no terrors for
him. He has a coy excavation just
under the floor of his shelter, with
a trap door leading to his sleeping
quarters. He cooks and spends most
of his time. in the room above his
dugout sleeping chamber. His for
tune has made no change in his hab-
it's, and he is cooking his meals, and
doing his own washing, just as he
did in the days when grim necessity
compelled him to do his own house
work.
