HUMMED WITH LIFE
IN PIONEER TIMES
Housed Many Famous Regi-
ments and Noted Military
Men Of Country.

Many years have elapsed since Fort
MtssOula was numbered among the i'm
pOrtant military posts of the country.
Back In the days when the west was
young and the Indians hunted the buff
1;llo among the F'lathead valleys the
fort at Miss0ula was the one oasis
OF white mems law in Il vast cxpanse
Of unfeuced.s Fnilies and tiackless
mOunfains,s. Its garrison was ever
ready to saddle ponies and ride
swiftly tOy1cpcl an Indian attack or
revenge q red4skin massacre.
Forty years ago the fort was the
guardian angel of the settlers. The
little pioneer town of the "shimmering
water" lived and grew beneath the
projecting shade of the old log bar
racks and its garrison of blue uni
formed soldiers. The boom of the sun
set gun echoed across the valley each
evening and reasxured the founders of
Missoula as they prepared for bed.
Today all has changed. The old log
barracks have gone and substantial
stone buildings surround the parade
ground, and not for many years have
the people looked to the soldiers for
protection from the savage aborigines
OF the mountain valleys. Tho sunset
gun no longer Blooms as the flag is
lowered at cventide. The war is across
the seas, and Fort Missoula is no
longer needed.
Not Important Now.
Fort Missoula is not important, and
photographs of it would not help the
kaiser commented former Ambassa-
dor Gerard last Tuesday when told
that there were said to be German
spies about Missoula.
IT is true. The fort Is no longer need
cd, and only since America declared
war on Germany has the garrison been
composed of more than n dozen men
since the last garrison was removed
four years ago.
Small bodies of troops have been

tale of Indians on the warpath and

and children.
The alarm was given. "Boots and

cavalrymen would dash out into the
night--ridings swiftly to the rescue.

Last Regiment to Leave.
1t VAS in 1913 that the last regiment
to occupy the post marched down His-

They went to Vera Cruz and helped
teach President Huerta that the Amer

The regiment never returned to Mis-
