chief is seen in a new buckskin shirt
the gift of the artist-very Ella
b~orately beaded. The detail of this
bead embroidery is very care
fully wrought out, with no sugges-
tion of the finicky work with which
so many artists would treat a sub
ject of this kind. The strongly
marked features, with just a sugges-
tion of the red paint on the warn
bronze cheeks, are characterized by
a dignity and impressiveness that is
Romanesque in treatment. The in
ner consciousness of the chieftain is
splendidly portrayed. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles characterized Chief Joseph
'one of the most daring and
shrewdest of Indian generals as well
as the kindest and most simple-in-
deed of individuals. And the por-
trait is certainly strongly suggestive
of these traits"
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-04-15

"Mr. PaXson, has, therefore, been
able to execute many notable por-
traits of the Indians, but among
them all that of Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perces and the notorious Sitting
Bull of the Sioux are distinguished
creations. For the artist knew them
both, and made sketches of them at
a time before the disturbances with
the settlers and the hostilities with
the United States troops had embit-
tered them and made them the sworn
foes, rather than the hospitable
friends of the white man.
Parsons portraits of Indians are
not the Indians of the reservation,
bearing on their strong features the
bitterness of subsection to the in
evitable, but they are a type of the
race and as such are valuable. They
are the children of the wilds, the be-
levers in the mystical Great Spirit.
They are depicted in action, too
not so much in war dance, but rather
pursuing their i~nclinations in the
matter of obtaining food by hunting,
pursuing their avocations within
the environment of the wigwam. He
has also depicted the bad Indian.
And he is a terror in appearance, as
he shows his hostility to the settlers
and to the troops.
'The portrait of Chief Joseph,
who died quite recently, is good in
technique and rich in color. The

manship, we find him after three
years returning to his native city,
Orchard Lake, neal Buffalo. Here
he married, and then with his wife
turned his face to the greater west.
Settles at Deer Lodge
"He went to Montana, settling at
Deer Lodge for a time, and then
finally going to Butte. But although
yearning to paint easily, opportunity
did not present itself for a long time.
Theatrical managers were now
pushing their way from city to city
across the plains, for people were
anxious for amusements, shut off as
they were from any recreation, and
most of them living the strenuous
life of the pioneer. So MI. Paxson
turned his attention to scenic art,
and many of the theaters in this
western country had wings and drop
curtains, ETC., painted by the man
who was destined in the future to
delineate some of the most striking
incidents in the life of the aborigine,
the hunter and the pioneer.
Being very gentle and kindly of
manner, Mr.. Paxson got along very
well with the Indians. He was ever |
a welcome guest among them. He
learned their speech as we'll as their
sign language, and made himself
familiar with their and GUS
toms and always showed a respect for
the same, while the Indians them
responded TO the kindness OF
their pale-faced brother, who could
use color so cleverly and in a manner
unfamiliar to themselves, and yet
had proved that he was no ''squaw
man." for could he not use the rifle,
and was he not a clever shot? And
so, while each day the artist estab-
lished himself on a more friendly
basis with the red man, the latter
grew to like his overtures of COM
radeship, and finally sat without fear
as a model for his easel pictures.

part of the Indian, who has a super

honestly treated, there will be re.
corded on the historic pages the
names of E. S. Paxson, G.. M. Russell
and E. Ceilings, as a group of Mon
tana painters who not only did good
work. technically, but who have i'm
mortalized on canvas the Indian, the
pioneer, the trapper, the ranchman,
the cowboy, together with the buff
falo, the bear and the horses peculiar
to that section of the country.
Of Quaker Lineage
"Mr. Paxson is of Quaker lineage,
his ancestors having settled in Penn
sylvania in 1852, and on both the
paternal and maternal sides names
of his forbears figure prominently in
both the colonial and revolutionary
conventions. His ancestors on his
fathers side were among the first
settlers on the Holland land pur-
chase, now constituting, to a certain
extent, the present site of the city of
Buffalo, N. Y.
I'm due time the embryo artist
attended the public school, receiving
his education in a building erected
on the site formerly occupied by a
primitive log schoolhouse in which
his parents had received their edu-
cation. After leaving school, he en-
tered his fathers carriage works as
an apprentice, passing through the
various departments until reaching
that occupied by the painters.
This proved to be the turning
point in his career, for the color
held a peculiar fascination for him,
and the ever-present idea was to
make a picture, rather. than to use
paint as a medium wherewith to
finish off the mechanical work. Here
was the latent spark of genius trying
to force itself to a conclusion. SO
it is not surprising to learn that the
young man-barely 21-broke away
his environment.
"But even a genius must live by
bread. So, after many vicissitudes
which time he tried his hand
1T many things, still keeping in mind
his resolve to paint pictures, and let
ting nc opportunity slip by which he
might gain experience in draughts-

That the famous painting, "Cus
ter's Last Stand" the work of thu
late E. S. Paxson, Montana artist, tt
which he devoted many years of pre-
paration, shall hang in the state CAPT
toll at Helena as he wished, is the
purpose of the State Federation Of
Women's Clubs. The campaign
started a year ago is under the dir
ection of Mrs. T. A. Grigg of Butte,
who is chairman of art of the state
federation. Already Mrs. Grigg has
enlisted the support of the Butte
Rotary club and through that organ
ization the campaign will be pushed
in other cities of the state.
At the annual meeting of the fed
GRAFTON next June at Billings, it is
planned to have an exhibition of Pax
sons paintings of Montana and then
it is expected that Mrs. Grigg will be
able to announce that Clusters Last
Stand" has been purchased for the
state. Not only the women's organi-
cations will back the movement, but
it is anticipated that school children
tana Pioneers will join. Mrs. J. H.
Kilduff is state president of the fed
GRAFTON and is taking an active in
terest in the contemplated purchase.
Cost Is $4,000
Clusters Last Stand' now is in
the possession of Mrs. Paxson, widow
of the painter. 1t will cost $4,000
to keep the picture in Montana. That
is the price that MI. Paxson set upon

Crazy Horse, Gaul, Crane King, Rain
n the Face, Hump, White Bull, and
Two Moon also have been faithfully
portrayed.
In his %endeavor to have accuracy
n the picture, Mr.. Paxson spent
ears in investigating even the most
minor details. He secured photo
of every man it was possible
o obtain. He interviewed Indians
7ho had been at the battle and spent
1any months having them describe
what they saw.
Faithful in Detail
He was faithful also in his detail

ism. He showed the Seventh cav
Try with inferior arms and equip
lent confronted by many times their
umber of murderous savages arm

of rifles. There is feeling
nd action in every part of the pic

That Paxson was appreciated more
)r his work in other parts of the
ountry than in Montana, his own
ate, has been contended many
mes. In February, 1905, Marian
j. White, editor of the Fine Arts
ournal, took up Parsons works and
them in her magazine. 1t

Figures compiled by Secretary of
State Charles T. Stewart in his ca
pacity of registrar of motor vehicles
show that there were licensed dur
ing the year 1919 a total of 59,324
motor vehicles, 874 motorcycles and
IA cycle motors used on bicycles. The
state of Montana received a gross
return of s406,00O on these licenses
and a net return of $368,127.33, of
which ~$92,031.83, or % per cent of
the total net sum, was given to the
counties and placed in the road
funds. There were 1850 chauffeur
licenses issued and 429 retail dealer
licenses issued by the department.
The sum of $368,127.33 net re-
turns to the state on licenses for
1919 was turned over to the state
highway commission and, according
to the law, is used for the mainten-
ance of this department and for the
building of roads. There was a 16
per cent increase in 1919 in amount
of money received from this source
over that of 1918 and a decrease in
the operating cost of the automobile
department of the secretary of states
office of 1 1-2 per cent, according to
Mr.. Stewart. The increase in cash
over 1918 was $4,000.
Secretary of State Stewart had or
dered 10000 license plates for this
years business, expecting a large in
crease in the number of licenses.

highest regular number issued this
year will be 10000, Mr.. Stewart has
added the last three numbers for the
Yellowstone Park transportation
company in order that their numbers
may be all of a kind. Mr.. Stewart
is authority for the statement that
these numbers bring a great deal of

PARALYSIS FATAL
TO c. HI. JENNINGS.
Wealthy Lumberman Died At His To-

Wealthy Lumberman Died At His To-
wanda Home Two Weeks Ago.
Cortez H. Jennings, the wealthy
lumberman of Towanda, Pa, founder
of the town of Jennings, Md, and in
whose honor the town las we'll as the
town of Jenningston, w. Va, was
named, died at his home in Towanda
Sept. u, of paralysis with which he
was stricken at the Jennings Hotel
at Jennings, Md, July 9, after having
driven his car from Towanda. to Jen-
nings, distance of nearly 300 miles,
on the previous day.
He was accompanied on that trip
by his pastor, the rector of the Epis-
copal church at Towanda, and was
conversing with the reverend gentle
man when he received the final stroke.
He lost both his sight and the. power
of speech when stricken but remained
conscious and informed his companion
of his dilemma by writing on a piece
of paper: Il am paralyzed; can't
talk or see. Don't telegraph my
wife"
DR., Horatio Dorsey, of Grantsville
gave him first aid and Drs A. H.
Hawkins and w. A. Oracle and John
E. Legge, of Cumberland, were called
in consultation. But medical skill
could not restore his palsid nerves
His wife and son we're notified and
FASTENED to his bedside. When it
became apparent that his malady
could not restore his palsied nerves.
Cumberland by automobile, about
a week after he was stricken, and
conveyed thence to his home in a
special Pullman car At his home he
fingered until the night of September
II, when his days were numbered.
Mr.. Jennings was about IS years of
age. He is survived by his wife, one
son, Paul, and one daughter, who is
married and lives in New York.
The lumber operations of Jennings
were carried on under the firm name
of Jennings Bros. The brother who
was associated with him in business
died by his own hand at Jenningston,
w. Va, some years ago.
Mr.. Jennings was not only a sue
cessful business man, but a gentle
man Of good heart and soul. He in
spired the confidence and friendship
of his employees and business asso-
ciates and was highly esteemed by all
who had intercourse with him in a
business way or socially. He was
public-spirited and enterprising and
took a lively interest in the various
communities in which he had business
interests.
Besides his extensive lumber inter-
ests in Garrett county, he was presi-
dent and one of the principal stock
holders of the Pennsylvania and Mary
land Street Railway and of the First
National Bank, of Grantsville, and a
leading stakeholder of the goth Cent
fury Manufacturing Company, of
Baynton. He was also interested in
various industrial enterprises in war;
ious parts of the country. He sold his
lumber interests at Jenningston, w.
Va, several years ago for $4,000 900
and leaves large estate.
