\. n. HOFCHikISS, PIONEER.
RETURNS FOR BRIEF VISIT

A. N. Hotchkiss, a pioneer Of this
portion OF Montana. but now real
estate dealer of Hollywood. Calf,
returned Monday evening for brief
visit. He has ranch interests near
Moorhead and proceeded on to that
destination. About July | he will
so back to California.
Mr.. Hotchkiss first made his ad-
Eont to Montana forty years ago. He
followed the outdoor life and made a
comfortable living by hunting big
same, such as deer, antelope and buf-
falo. The country .abounded in these
species in the early days and in the
Chalk Butte country in particular Mr..
Hotchhlss saw thousands of buffalo
roaming in their native haunts.
The buffalo We're killed by white
men in great numbers and the almost
total extinction of the species was
caused by the wholesale slaughter.
The Indians contributed to the
demise OF the buffalo herds but
seemed to be more moderate. In the
winter OF lSSl-S2 buffalo COW hides
brought $3.50 and bull hides 81 and
they We're freishted to Miles City in
heapins loads. Tanned hides we're
more valuable but oftentimes In
dians would swap them for a pound
OF Arbnckle's coffee. The traders in
those days waXed rich over the busi-
ness With the IndianI. They would
dispose of tanned butralo aides at IS
to $40 each and realize immense
profits.
Mr.. Hotchkiss had for his partner
in 1888 George Chandler forty
miner. then at the age OF s. years.
They downed the last OF the buffalo
herd at the head OF the Mezpah that
year and soon afterward turned their
efforts to other pursuits. In 1885
Mr.. Hotchkiss settled on Little Pump
kin creek and in 1898 moved up Pow
der river to his present location,

$1,000 PLEDGED FOR /,
PHONE TOLL LINE

UnfavOrable weather and road con-
ditions several days the past week
retarded the campaign in progress in
this county to raise $4,000 for the
long distance toll line from Miles
City. The accounting Wednesday
night showed only two-thirds of this
countys quota subscribed. Innum-
erable instances are cited where the
party to be solicited was not found
at home and they were missed in the
canvass. There remains an uncer-
tainity Of the installation of this tel
ephone service which would prove an
asset to every district covered by it.
Those who are able to subscribe for
this telephone stock and have not yet
been solicited should communicate at
their earliest convenience with l.. p.
league, BrOadus, who is here in per-
son as representative of the East
ern Montana Telephone company to
assist i'll putting the telephone proj-
ect over.
stmulant to the installation of
the line is the probability of the for
estry service building approximately
four miles of telephone line from the
present terminal OF the forestry line
to Stacey where toll station would
be maintained on the through line
TO Miles City. By connecting with
the forest service line to Ashland
an outlet for telephone communica-
tion would thus be afforded people of
the Otter creek country.

Ihere were races OF all kinds. The
boys pony race for fellows OF tour-
teen years and under at $50 yards

DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST EXAMINER

Despite the fact tlst the Powder
River County Examiner has qualified
IN every respect for the publication
of land office notices emanating from
PoWder River county, George W.
Myers, register Of the United States
land office at Miles City, discrimi-
mates against this publication by re-
fnsing to accord it the patronage
which it is justly entitled to. The
evident arrogant and dictatorial at
titude of the register OF the land
office i'll this instance at least is
wholly unfounded and unjustitied.
Failure to designate the Examiner
as the medium for the publication of
these land office rot ces has resulted
IN inconvenience to entrymen as we'll.
Ihe Examiner has the equipment and
stability TO render efficient service in
properly caring for land office puh-
llcations and it is prone to let this
patronage escape without a protest.
1t is mandatory for the register Of
the land office to cause contest no.
tlces to be printed within the coun-
ty, explaining the publication of such
notlces now appearing in the Exam
lnef. Were the choice lett to The
register these, too would perhaps
be siven out to other favored publ
cations.
Ihe Examiner is entitled to all
land Office publication affecting land
in powder River county and failure
TO receive them in the near future
Will lead us to thoroughly inyesti-
gate the situation

But NOT SATISFACTORY

by Chris NJ. Johnston was located at
Bill HickcoX's place on Stump creek
while the other two were found dead
in a bog at the Gerald Nesbit home

the scene Johnston and Nesbit ar
rived Just in time to extricate a third
horse in the same vicinity which
would have shared a like fate.

borne out by the selection of the two
