ACTION! ACTl0Nl
ACTION!

Here's a story with ac-
ton, action, action. "0ut
where the West begins" Is
still the land Of romance,
and this Is the heart Of the
oId-fashioned West In the
days Of the cowboy, the
cattle rustler, the horse
thief, the outlaw, the ex-
press robber, the sherItt's
posse, the bloody and
thrilling battles with the
six-gun. There are some
human and lovable people
in whose fortunes we are
interested, and some "bad
men" who very properly
die with their boots on.
Quite a plot there is, too.
But action, action, action
the story moves with a
rush.

Across Dry valley a dust cloud had
been moving for hours. II rolled into
Saguache at the brisk heels of a bunch
of horses just about the time the town
was settling itself to supper. From

who swung his pony as on half dol

Chunn's corral.
The rider was In the broad-rimmed
felt hat, the cray shirt, the plain leath-

conditions he might have been a col
lege freshman for age, but the compe-
tent confidence Of manhood sat easily
on his broad shoulders, Curly Flan-
drau had more thnn once looked into
the chill eyes Of death.
The leaders Of the herd dribbled into
the corral through the open gate, and
the others crowded on their heels.
Three more riders followed Curly into
the inclosure. One Of hem, a red
haired young fellow Of about the same
age as Curly, swung stif1y from the
saddle.

I boats brought news of the fierce nos
tility of the Sioux and other tribes,
and passengers and crew began to
grow uneasy over the prospect, not
w~ithstanding the fact that the pilot
house of the Luella was sheathed
with boiler iron, against which the
bullets of the indians would patter
harmlessly. The boats clerk, a
young fellow of the name of Mellon,
became so panic-stricken that he was
on the verge of collapse when the
boat reached the mouth of the Milk
river, in Montana, $50 miles below
Fort Benton, and it was here that he
deserted the boat amid protests and
ridicule to take passage back down
the river on the deep-draft steamer
Rubicon, which was under the COM
mand of Captain Horace Bixby, fam
Gus as the pilot who taught Mark
Twain the Mississippi river, and
equally noted as the famous river
navigator who had been confidential
pilot to Flag Officers Foote and Da-
Wis of the Mississippi flotilla in the
Civil war days.
Although ABOVE the mouth of the
Yellowstone the river was entirely
strange to Captain Marsh, he thread
ed its channel successfully, and on
June II reached his destination safe
ly, Just so days out of st. Louis.
AS the Luella rounded a bend and
came in sight of Fort Benton, it was
a strange scene upon which he and
the others on the boat looked, and
their interest increased as the boat
steamed up to the levee and was
snubbed to the bank. Before them
on the open prairie stretched a stray
Cling hamlet of rude log cabins and
rutted wagon tracks, containing 500
people, which was, however, the COM
mercial center of a vast territory.
Before the doorways of the trading
establishments stood the long trains
of huge freight wagons, drawn by a
dozen span of oxen or mules, ready
to start out on their long and toll
some journeys to Alder Gulch, Last
Chance, Deer Lodge or other mining
camps back among the mountains.
In shabby huts. where villainous
whisky sold for 40 cents a glass and
in tawdry dance halls, presided over
by women whose records had driven
them from the older settlements, men
jostled each other to spend in a few
days debauchery the fruits of weary
months of hard work and peril. Here
were swarthy Mexicans, dressed in
the gaudy fashion that prevailed
south of the Rio Grande; here were
s~oft-spoken southerners in plenty,
flotsam of the wrecked Confederacy,
some of whom were from the far
flung cleft wing of Prices army"
some from the more distant regions
of Dixie, but all bent on wringing
from Montana's golden valleys the
they had lost in their stricken
land.
Here were also many ex-soldiers

The week of April 1924 will be
an interesting one for the stockmen
of Montana, as it contains two events
Of outstanding Importance. These
are the dedication of the new $685.
0G0 livestock sales pavilion at Great
Falls and the 35th annual conven-
tion of the Montana Stock Growers
Association. The two events are
connected in a manner, as the dedi-
oatory exercises at Great Falls are to
be held April 10 and will be attended
by many stock growers from all parts
of the state, and particularly from
northern Montana, after which they
will go on O. special train to Billings,
arriving there the morning of April
20 for the convention, which is to be
held the goth and 21st. The special
train will return to Great Falls the
night of the 21st.
One of the features of the two
days convention at Billings will be
annual sale of the Montana Hereford
Breeders Association on the after
moor of the 21st, when 134 head of
choice registered Herefords will be
put through the sales ring. This
offering will consist of Sc cows and
7S bulls-all registered stock. The
animals offered for sale will be from

If power of observation and mem
DRY we're granted to inanlmate
things, the grim old hills and rain
washed bluffs along the Missouri
river from Fort Benton downstream
to the mouth OF that mighty stream,
where it Joins forces with the Missis-
sippi, would be stirred these spring
days, when the flood waters from
the mountains begin to swell the cur
rent, by recollections of the romance
and adventure of river steamboating
of SO years ago. Strange tales these
old hills might tell of that half CEN
fury from the 30's, when he Mis-
souri, first became a highway for
steamboat traffic, to the coming OF
the railway in the SOS, when the
river steamers faded away from the
scene and left the turgid waters of
the historic stream once more to the
reign of nature, which for that brief
period had been interrupted by man
and his petty activities.
And one of the tales that the hills
might tell-and not the least inter-
esting of them all-is that OF the
trip of the staunch river boat Luella,
Captain Grant Marsh, master and
pilot, which in 1866 carried the rich
est cargo of treasure ever taken
down the river from Fort Benton.
Somewhere in the shifting sands of
the Mississippi, below st. Louis, lie
the rotting timbers of the Luella.
Her crew and passengers have all
been retired from life's activities by
time and few of them are alive today,
but probably a few old men still live
who muse occasionally on those red
blooded river days and live over
again the stirring incidents of the
Luella's downstream voyage with
more than 200 miners from the Mon
tana gold camps ABOARD, in whose
money belts was carried upward OF
$1,250,000 in gold dust.
The Luella left st. Louis April IS,
1866, with a cabinful of passengers
and 119 tons of freight, chiefly min
ing machinery and staple groceries.
She was one of a large fleet that
drew out of the metropolis of the
Mississippi within the first few weeks
that the river was open, and turning
westward past Mobile Point into the
swelling tide of the Missouri, started
the long, uphill climb toward the
She was the first boat
of which Captain Grant Marsh had
aver been in chief command, but the
owners who had placed her in his
charge felt that his work with the
Sully expedition had we'll qualified
him for the position, and the success
of the voyage won him his spurs. He
became one Of the most famous
Of the Missouri river captains.
The Luella was less speedy than
many of the boats engaged in the
Fort Benton trade, and her early
start was due to the fact that time
was precious. After Fort Randall
had been passed, downward-bound
