Rev. Mr.. lift spent several days In
Missoula during the recent convention
Of the Epworth league Of the Method
list church. While here he visited many
OF the old landmarks and told numer.
GUS stories Of the experiences Of the
small handful of settlers In the early
days. "Missoula Mills" had only 200
people when he first came.
Not only was Rev. Mr.. Tiff q preach
err; he was a fighter as well. After
serving in the civil war he attended
college In the east, where he gradu-
ated as a doctor of divinity. He was
assigned to come west to Montana to
take up missionary work in the terri
tory. Upon his arrival he found that
words in many cases were worthless.
and that deeds counted for more when
it came to subduing the red man.
Headed Band Of Volunteers.
When General James A. Garfield
came to Ntssoula in 1872 to negotiate
a treaty with the Indians, ne found
Rev. Mr.. niff at the head of a body
of volunteers, ready to fight at a
moments notice. The general was
prone to laugh at the sky pilot" acting
the part Of a soldier, but the young
minister declared that there were times
when it was necessary to save the lives
OF the whites In order to save their
souls.
During those early days when the
Indians were continually uprising In
various parts OF the state Mr.. Tiff
with Mr.. Van Orsdell were preaching
the gospel to, the small groups OF
settlers at times when danger was not
apparent, while at other times when
the Indians threatened to make at
tacksa they took their places at the
heads 6f the volunteers and went out
to meet the natives.
Needed Force in Church.
Not only was the mighty hand need
ed to aueil the Indians, but also 1t be-
came necessary to use 1t to keep the

The war has stimulated science
wonderfully" said Cuglielmo Marconi.
senator OF Italy and member of the
Italian commission to the United
States.
i cannot say that war Is good in
any sense. but one of the effects Of
the present has been the DEVELOPMENT
OF new ideas, the oblteration of diff.
cuities In many fields of science. The
war has put the wireless to work in
many new directions. on submarines,
FOR instance, and we have learned how
to control the atmosphere though
which 1t passes to degree which
would have been thought impossible
a few years ago. War has developed
flying to an enormous extent and will
extend its uses more and MORE"
Not Like an Italian.
Senator Marconi's blue eyes. his ges
tureiess calm the long pauses between
his faultless English sentences, made it
very hard to realize that he is an ltal-
ian. And 1t was only ,.len | remem-
bered that his mother was an Irish
woman and that he lived for years in
England and has an English home,
that became really recOncilcd to his
impressive manner.
Science and War.
Science" ! said has made this
the most agOnizing. the cruelist war ii,
history. Every science has become Il
science Of destruction to- enable men
to KIN each other What has the war
done for science?'
- Senator Marconi replied, with the
brief references l have quoted, to the
extension by the war OF the fields OF
aviation and Of wireless. WAR has
shown n thousand new uses for mo-
tors and tractors" he added. 1T has
made flying an everyday affair
for thousands OF men who would
never have entered an aeroplane 9TH
erwise. ! believe the European gov
ernments will use acroplanes in every
day affairs after the war Is over, that
the mails may be carried by them"

Of the wireless telegraph.

Missouia Bad Town Then.
This Is only one OF the many tales
that Rev. Mr.. Tiff tells of the early
days of MissOula. There was no rest
for those few men who were allotted
by fate to lead and protect the small
group of settlers. 1t was a big mans
Job and 1t took courage to meet the
many difficulties that arose, many of
which demanded immediate and de-
cisive action.
The undaunted courage of Rev. Mr..
lliff won for him the friendship of
General Garfield and this bond was
not broken until Garfield was shot

country.
"erother Van" His Partner.
Rev. Mr.. Van Orsdell. who was bet
ter known as brother Van" was a
working partner of Mr.. Tiff in many
undertakings. Together they made a
fight to save the souls OF the natives
and white men and at the same time
they fought side by side when the
homes of the settlers were threatened
Mr.. Van 'Orsdcil was one Of those
noted sky pilots known al circuit
riders and while acting in this capac.
lity he faced many dangers, From one
small community to another he would
ride. sometimes going days. without

When the natives did break forth

of General O. o. Howard he distin-

later he was chosen to carry important
messages through the territory held by
the red men to the mail coach line.
Those were times when every man
had to show the best that was In him, .
said Mr.. Van Orsdell. I'VE were con-
tinnally meeting situations that were
dangerous In every respect and had to
