TRAIL BLAZERS OF MONTANA MEET AIT
GREAT FALLS FOR THE THlRTY- SEVENTH
GATHERING; HISTORY OF PIONEER SOCIETY

The 37th annual convention of tn
Society of Montana Pioneers at Grea
Falls last week, attended by abou
$50 OF the men and women VIII
blazed the trails into Montana prio
to 1853, proved to be one of the mos
notable gatherings in recent years
and an extremely interesting and en-
joyable time was had by the ole
timers.
Of the original officers of the So
ciety OF Montana Pioneers, when the
organization was completed in 1884
the only man alive today is Thomas
H. Irvine of Deer Lodge, who was
one of the vice presidents elected al
the first meeting.
The Society of Montana Pioneers
was organized as the result of a call
published by j. r. Wilson, one of the
earliest Adventures into the Montana
gold fields and for many years editor
of a Dillon newspaper, in July, 1884.
This call, which was published in the
newspapers of the territory, was as
follows:
"All pioneer citizens of Montana
who were residents within its limits
at the date of the creation of the ter
ritory-May 26th, 1864-are cor
daily invited to attend a meeting to
be held at the courthouse, in the city
of Helena, the capital of the terri
tory, on Wednesday, September 10,
1884, at 10 o'clock a. m. (the day be-
ing during fair week., for the pur-
pose of organizing a Pioneers Asso-
nsotinp or Cnasntrr of D,ap4arr T1s1
society will not be organized in any
hostility to Or as a rival of, the His
torical Society, but in its scope and
purpose it will radically differ from
that corporation. While it is prob
able that membership will be per-
mitted to those reaching Montana at
a more recent date than the 18th of
May, 1864, it has been thought best
to confine the present call to those
who were here at the time Montana
was created a territory by act of con
gress.
1.-THE time indicated will be fitting
for the organization of an ~associa-
ton. The events of our early pioneer
history are rapidly fading away from
the memory of Montanans. The
observation-disclosures 10 uedI-
ly every point of the habitable earth
are as rapidly passing away
Change has already been inefface-
ably impressed upon all the domain
west Of the Missouri river. Nowhere
that change more marked than
the limits of our own peerless
Montana. The isolation of the past

yasion of the iron horse forever. The

MISSOURI
NATIONAL PARK
DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL PARKS
TO URGE UNCLE SAM TO TAKE
GATE OF THE MOUNTAINS

The famous Gate of the Mountains
of the Missouri river may be design
ated as a national monument. Ste
Iphen T. Mather, director of national
parks, made a trip by motor through
this picturesque pass on the occasion
of his recent visit to Montana and
was SO impressed with the beauty
and grandeur of this gorge that he
stated he would make such a recon-
~mendation to the secretary of the in
terror.
The designation of this pass as a
national monument would classify it
as a national park and the govern
ment would expend a considerable
sum on the improvement of the high
way traversing it to facilitate tourist
travel through it. When he had com
pleted his trip, Mr.. Mather said:
"To one to whom the natural won
ders within the national parks have
become commonplace by constant ia
miliarity, the Gate of the Mountains
is an inspiration and is worthy of
designation as a national monument.
1t will give me pleasure to concur in
a recommendation hat it be so dis
tinguished if the matter is officially
presented to the interior department.
Nowhere in the world is there
more wonderful natural scenic splen-
dor accessible to the sightseer and
tourist. Montana in general and
Helena in particular should see to the
preservation of such a natural won-
der. Either by segregation as a Ma
tional monument, or reservation at
'tached to the Helena national forest,
the gorge should be set aside in its
primal state for the recreation of flu
ture generations"
Mr.. Mather brought cheerful news
to the good roads enthusiasts, of all
the trails that lead to Glacier park.
in the assurance that congress would
be prevailed upon to make necessary
appropriations for the building of the
Blackfoot road, the key to the high
way situation on the approach to the
northern wonderland.
He further gave it as his belief
that a road over the mountains with
in Glacier park, from Lake Mcdonald
to st. Mary's, would be built next
summer, and the project will be ur-
advocated by the National
Parks Service.
Mr.. Mather highly praised the
Broadwater, its splendid service and
the quality of the meals served, and
predicted success for the resort as the
stop-over between the parks.
He also commended the many admir-
ible automobile drives and side-trips
the vicinity of Helena.
The great dam of the Montana
Power company created Hotter lake,
fine sheet of water, which is one of
he picturesque features of the Gate
If the Mountains country. The poll
cy Of the Power company is to add
o the natural beauty of the country
n which its dams are constructed by
andscaping and much work has been
.one in the neighborhood of Hotter
axe along this line.

GEORGE LAME, FORMER MONTANA COWBOY,
NOW FIRST BREEDER OF PERGHER0MS IM
THE WORLD, FRIEND OF PRINCE OF WALES

George Lane, former Montana
cowboy, who went into the Cana
dian northwest q third of a century
ago and became one of the most
important breeders of PercherOn
horses ON this continent, has just
been advised by cable hat three of
his Alberta-bred Percherons, two
stations and a mare, foaled on his
famous Bar-U ranch, won first,
second and third prizes in competi-
ton with the best draft horses of
London, considered the greatest
annual livestock show in the
world.
Thirty years ago Lane, who comes
of an old Virginia City family, rode
the ranges of Montana. He fore
saw the coming of the homesteader
and the passing of the free range,
and when Canada was offering large
tracts of grazing land at cheap rem
tails to American stockmen, located in
Southern Alberta. He had some pro-
perty in Helena, which he traded to
James Mauldin of Twin Bridges for
a small herd of Percheron horses and
this herd, moved into Canada, be-
came the nucleus of the greatest Per-
cheron breeding establishment in the
dominion, and one of the most i'm
portant in America.
A Lover of Horses
Lane acquired a vast acreage of
land when it was cheap, on which he
grazed his herds. When this land
was demonstrated as tillable, Is or
more years ago, he made a great
farm of it, seeding as much as 50,-
600 acres of wheat in a single year.
A great horse lover, to this day he
refuses to have anything to do with
the tractor, but uses gang plows
drawn by heavy Percheron draft
horses. In the fullness of time and
with the development of western
Canada he has become a very veal
thy man.
Several stampedes, and in parti-
cular the big n which was staged at
Calgary six years ago at a cost of
$780, 900 have been financed through
Lane and some of his associates.

my cord1a acknowledgment and
gratitude.
Absent Members
"In this connection we do not for
get, but remember with deep and sor-
roWful affection the absent member
of the committee, whose warm and
generous heart, and fertile brain,
may have perhaps first conceived the
plan of this wonderful tribute to my
self, but was not spared to witness
its execution. To the m of
him, our departed brother, Rod d.
Leggat, SO deeply devoted by word
and deed to every interest of our So
ciety, and whose untimely death we
all deplore, we offer our sacred vows
of gratitude and fraternal love, and
our devout prayers. His
will be revered by surviving mem
bers of the society and particularly
by those of advanced age and limited
means in whose behalf he has made
ample and generous provision to in
Jul them peace and comfort in their
declining years.
Nov, in conclusion, I desire to
say, to have lived and witnessed and
shared in the rescue from
and to have participated in the de-
in this part of the great
northwest, now comprising the state
of Montana, a mighty empire in it
self, and yet to be spared to continue
