Cobb Is Right

Irving Cobb was right when he

he belonged.-Monroe Advertiser.

NLD Fort Whoop-Up, built by John J. Healy, several times
sheriff of Chouteau county, and AL Hamilton, a noted Mon
- tana frontiersman, at the junction of the St. Marys and
Belly rivers in 1871. This invasion of Canada and defiance of the
Hudson Bay company by American whisky traders led to the or
ganzaton of the Northwest Mounted Police in September, 1873.
Fort Whoop-Up was built on the general plan of Fort Benton.
Cannon were mounted on the bastions, with plenty of grape and
canister shot beside them in the shape of 25-pound sacks of trade
balls. The total cost of building the fort was $4,000. The re-
mark by Healy, well whoop things up for the Johnny Bulls when
we get this place finished" caused the name of Fort Whoop-Up to
be given. The first task of the newly organized Mounted Police
was to capture Fort Whoop-Up, and they moved against it in the
summer of 1874 with two cannon and two howitzers. The cannon
required six horses apiece to drag. Hea1y and Hamilton decided
not to fight the Canadians and surrendered the place, first having
buried their stock of alcohol in the ground within the fort. The
Police, finding nothing irregular, took no action. Healy offered
to sell the fort to the British for $4,000. Colonel Mcleod, who
headed the Police, refused to pay the price, and led his expedition
on another 80 miles and built Fort Mcleod, first of the Mounted
Police posts. Hea1y and Hamilton soon sold Whoop-Up and re-
turned to Montana. Colonel James 7. Stanford of Great Falls was
with the Police when they drew up outside of Fort Whoop-Up. AL
Hamilton is still living in Seattle, the only survivor of the Mon
tanans who invaded Canada and defied the Hudson Bay company.

use. The troop officially mutinied
and sent a delegation of three to
Fort Macleod to report the matter
to Colonel Macleod. The delegation
of mutineers was promptly placed in
the guardhouse on their arrival, but
after the facts became known they
were sent back to Fort Calgary and
Captain Brisbeau was courtmartialed
and cashiered from the service.
There were various other disor-
ders that winter and the next, but
after 1875 things ran more smoothly
for the organization as a whole.
When Colonel Stanford Joined
In the spring of 1875 a recruit was
sent westward with 81 bundles of
uniforms and other supplies from
Ottawa for the use of the hard-press-
ed mounted police. This recruit was
a youth of the name of Stanford. To-
day he is Colonel James T. Stanford
of Great Falls, president of the Con-
rad Banking company. Old timers
in northern Montana remember Col
mel Stanford in those days as a
smart young sergeant of police, who
later in his service became staff
quartermaster sergeant. On his re-
tirement from the service he was Of
fered a commission in the police, but
refused it because of dependents up
on him. Life was ahead of him and
he felt that he had to make more
money than Mounted Police service
offered.
Colonel Stanford has many inter-
incidents to relate about the
life of the northwest in the early
days of the police. He was intim-
ately acquainted with Joe Kipp, who
died at Browning on the Blackfeet
reservation in 1913, and who was
the first American to cross the line
to invade Canada in defiance of the
Hudson Bay Company. Kipp and
his partner, Thomas, built Fort
Standoff, and later Fort Kipp. 1t
was in the latter post that a fight
started one day when the trading
room was packed with Blackfeet,
resulted in Kipp being forced
to kill several of the Indians to save
his own life.

pealed to him on his past visit in the
mountains and put in a period Of
big game hunting.
He is the first man to enter the
state fair races, being months ahead
of the usual entries, which arc gen.
orally received in June, July, or Aug
ust. He has his game hunt all plan
ned after he wins some big purses at
Helena, where the auto races will be
held Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day of fair week, which is Septem-
Der 1918 this year.
Stone in his day has been an in
dependent race driver, an A. A. A.
race driver and a licensed pilot in
the international Motor Contests as
ISOLATION, the latter being the gov
erning body of practically all dirt
track races in America.
Stone has piloted or superintend-
ed the driving of many cars on long
hard grinds, which were part of fac
tory tests. He has been the skipper
of trial trains through the desert
sands of Nevada, along the precipi-
tous slopes of southwestern Montana
in the Big Hole country; had charge
of one of the first army truck trains
sent into Mexico in the Villa pursuit
and for a time was in charge of a
travelling mission in Mexico in which
a complete miniature church was
taken from place to place on wheels.
According to Stone, his chief diet at
that time was raw "Billy goat" meat.
During the war Stone served as an
official inspector OF airplane engines
and was sent from one to another of
the leading factories where the Lib
erty motors we're being built.

That tick control work may be ex-
tended to the lands of the Bitter
Root National forest, the Missoula
chamber of commerce, cooperating
with the Bitter Root valley, at a re-
cent meeting of the board of direc-
tors, passed resolutions petitioning
the government to appropriate the
sum of $1,000 to be expended by the
biological survey on lands of the Bit
ter Root national forest for the con-
troll and extinction of the Rocky
Mountain fever tick on those lands.
The resolutions were sent to the
Montana delegation in congress
along with a letter calling their at
tention to the seriousness of the stu
alton, said Secretary Richards.
Tick control work is being done on
private lands and public highways
outside of the Bitter Root national
forest, but the forest service, it is
said, cannot spend money for the ex-
termination of the Columbian ground
squirrel and other rodents which
carry the ticks, as rodent extermina-
ton is supposed to be conducted by
the United States biological survey,
at present has not sufficient
funds to pursue the work.
The resolution as drafted by the
chamber of commerce, follows:
Whereas: The Rocky Mountain
tick infestation on the west side
Of the Bitter Root river valley in Ra-
Valli and in Missoula counties, Mon
lana, constitutes a peculiar and dis
.inct menac to the public welfare of

Whereas: In recognition of it's
the state of Montana has

No one was more pleased on hear
ing that the Montana state fair
would have auto races at the big
exposition next fall than Larry d.
Stone, the famous dirt track auto
racer, who leaped into fame on dirt
courses in 1919.
Stone loves Montana and has been
looking forward to visiting the state
in which he did some expert testing
work on the Knox trucks in the early
days of the automotive game. At
that time, Stone visited Butte, Dillon,
Armstead and Grant and drove a
Knox truck to and from mines in the
region where the Gilmore and Pitts
burg railway crosses the continental
divide on what is said to be the low
est elevation of the divide on the
whole continent.

years to return to Montana, build

The Royal Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, whose early history was so in
timately associated with that of Mon
tana of the 70's, has passed into his
tory, for last month that splendid
body of horsemen, known affection
ately as the Scarlet Riders of the
Plains, was renamed the Royal Can
adam Mounted Police, and instead of
their activities being confined to
Northwestern Canada, they are now
charged with enforcement of domin-
ion or federal laws in all provinces
of Canada. Instead of enforcing the
law in only a small section of the
dominion, they will henceforth be
scattered over the entire country.
The result will be a great increase
in the number of men in the service,
and already a recruiting campaign
has attracted many new men into
the organization. Recruiting was
virtually stopped recently, however,
because of lack of barrack accom-
modations, but it will be resumed
again shortly.
Many of the men in the service are
sons of aristocratic British families
and are veterans of the great war
with their breasts covered with SER
vice ribbons gained in the hottest
battles in France and Belgium. In
the Royal Canadian police, however,
family connections are forgotten and
all men are on an equal. Many an
English nobleman, with a family tree
tracing back to the days of William
the Conqueror, has served side by
side on equal terms with the son of
the poorest English laborer. There
has only been one mark of merit
in the Mounted Police, and that has
been gained by absolute fearlessness,
loyalty to the service and to COM
rades, and an answering devotion
to duty.
This recent metamorphosis of the
old Northwest Mounted Police, or
ganized in 1873, when the Canadian
Northwest was a sort of. mo Mans
Land" recalls some of the heroic ex-
ploits of its members. One of the
earliest of these was the nervy ac-
tion of the late General Sir Sam
Steele, commander-in-chief of the
Canadian forces in Europe during
the war, when he was a sergeant in
the police. The story is told by Col.
James T. Stanford of Great Falls,
who was a sergeant in the police at
the same time and was a lifelong
friend of General Steele. A camp
of hostile Cree Indians were OBJ
structing the building of the Cana
dian Pacific railway. Sergeant
Steele, accompanied by a private in
the ranks, or a constable, as they
called, rode into the midst of
the camp, and while the Indians
we're shooting and letting out war
whoops of defiance, calmly rode up
to the chiefs lodge and ordered that
warrior to get his men on the move
10 minutes.
The chief, whose name was Plea
Pot, stood with defiant glare and
ignored the order. Steele, wearing
he striking scarlet tunic of the po-
