i That the famous painting, .ttCus-
ter's Last Stand" the work of the
Hate E. S. Paxson, Montana artist, to
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
land members of the Society of Mon
|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 Mr.. Paxson set upon
it. Minnesota has bid $4,000 for

In the picture, Mr. Paxson spent II
years in investigating even the most III
minor details. He secured photo II

who had been at the battle and spent
many months having them describe
exactly what they saw. HI

That Paxson was appreciated more II
