HUGH MONROE, FIRST WHITE IMAM TO SEE SPLENDID SCENERY OF
GLACIER PARK DIM 1915, BURIED ON Tw0 MEDICINE RIVER IM 1896

silver-mounted pistols, with plenty OF
extra flints, powder and lead for
them. The grandfather gave the boy
20 pounds in money and a sun-glass
to make fire with in case he ever
found himself without flint and
steel. This sun-glass was destined
to prove an important factor in the
beginning of his career IN the plains.
Each of the five keel boats was
loaded with four or five tons of
goods for the Indian trade, every
thing being done up in waterproof
packages of about 100 pounds in
weight. The heavier goods comprised
guns, powder, ball and flints; beads,
traps, brass and copper wire for ma
king bracelets; ear and finger rings,
axes, copper and brass kettles and
hand-mirrors. The lighter goods
were made up of blankets, red, blue
and yellow wooden cloth; needles,
avis, thread and many other articles
to take the red mems fancy.
Mountain Fort, their destination,
had just been built for the Black
feet trade. This tribe was a savage
and hostile one, but because the
Blackfeet were splendid hunters, the
Hudson Bay Company had decided
to try to win their confidence and
open trade with them. In the north
west a gun was worth 60 beaver pelts
and all other trade articles sold in
proportion. Even a yard of twisted
tobacco sold for two beaver skins.
Turning out of the st. Lawrence,
the flotilla assembled the ottawa river
as far as possible and then portrayed
boats and cargoes from lake to lake
the divides, and finally, early
in September, reached York Factory,
in the Hudson Bay country. There
they wintered, setting forth as soon
the ice went out in the spring. At
last, in July, 1916, after many. weeks
of rowing and cordelling up the Sas-
katchewan, they arrived at Mountain
Fort. They had been IA months on
the way.
Thirty Thousand Indians
Mountain Fort, built of logs with
poled roof of earth, was in a heavily
timbered bottom above the highwater
mark of the river. 1t was enclosed
in a high log stockade and had a bas-
ton in one corner in which were two
small cannon. 1t was later called
Bow Fort, as the stream it was on
was a main tributary of the Saskat-
chewan and was called by the Black
feet Bow river.
Monroe was welcomed cordially by
H~ardesty, who knew his ia
and grandfather well, and was
told that they were taking especial
to keep the fort well guarded,
as they were not yet much acquaint-
ed with the three tribes of the Black
feet who were encamped near the

meat, black tea and the various small
fruits and berries that the country
afforded. Freight was a year en-
route to that far place from Mon
treal, and every pound of it had to be
merchandise for the Indian trade.
The only day in the year, therefore,
when any food transported from
Montreal was served, excepting tea,
was on Christmas, when a big treat
in the form of plum pudding was al
lowed.
Monroe Sent With Blackfeet
Monroe was told by Factor Har-
desty that he had just been advised,
in dispatches which had come with
the keel boats, that the American
Fur Company, a new rival of the
Hudson Bay Company, was pushing
up into the Blackfeet country in the
trail of Lewis and Clark. Hardesty
said he had been ordered to push
down toward the Missouri river coun-
try as rapidly as possible to build mp
trade for the Hudson Bay Company
with the Blackfeet tribes, and to
block the American Fur Company in
its trade with the Blackfeet tribes.
The Pi-kun-i (Piegan) tribe of the
Blackfeet, he said, was going south
to the Missouri river for the summer
and he asked Monroe if he cared to
go with them, learn their language
and find out what the American com
pany was doing.
Monroe jumped at the chance,
and was confided to the care of the
head Piegan chief, Lone Walker, a
splendid type of Indian whom the
white boy 500 learned to admire
and regard with real affection. Mon
roe quickly learned enough of the
sign language to communicate in a
way with the Piegans. He found the
old-time Blackfeet chiefs dignified
and courteous to one another, pos
sessing a of humor that was
not rude or coarse; generous and
among themselves, but bitter
of the tribes with whom they
were at war. The boy soon felt per-
fectly at home among them, but it
remained for him to gain an import
ant place with the tribe through the
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-04-22

The first white man who ever saw
the magnificent mountain scenery
of what is today Glacier National
Park-the towering peaks, shining
snow and glaciers and the beautiful
clear lakes-died on the Blackfeet
reservation in 1896 and lies buried
in the Two Medicine valley in the
shadow of Rising Wolf mountain,
which bears the name by which he
was known to the Blackfeet. His
name was Hugh Monroe, and no more
fascinating tale of adventure could
be imagined than the story of his
first winter spent in what now con-
stitutes the state of Montana in the
year 1915.
Monroe, or Rising Wolf, the White
Blackfoot, was SO years old when
he passed away amid the mountains
where he had spent 81 years of his
life. His descendants are well known
residents of the reservation, and
many northern Montana whites and
Indians remain who remember him
we'll in the years preceding his death
"a years ago.
Born in Three Rivers settlement,
Province of Quebec, July z, 1898, he
was the son of Captain Hugh Monroe
of the English army and Amelie de
la Roche, the latter a daughter of a
noble family of French emigrants
who had been driven to the new
world by political and religious diff
ficulties in which they had become
involved. His grandfather de la
Roche was connected with the Hud-
a0-. Dow NaD1nonu npd in h1C how
hood his imagination and longing
for adventure in the west were stir
red by the voyageurs and trappers
from the northwest, rugged, pictur-
esque men in buckskin clothing and
m%occasins with strangely-fashioned
caps on their heads. They told fas-
cinating stories of Indian fights and
dangers of the wilderness, and
these made him decide when in his
early teens that he would join the
adventures of the great Hudson Bay
Company.
His parents objected to his going
west, but so set was he On doing so
that they at last consented, and May
8, 1914, he signed articles of APP
premiership to the big company for
five years, at 20 pounds a year, and
set sail in n of a flotilla of five big
keel boats up the st. Lawrence river,
bound for Mountain Fort, on the Sas-
katchewan river, at the foot of the
Rockies, where he was to report to
Factor James Hardesty.
Bound for BIackfoot Country
Young Monroe had a sad parting
with his parents, and he never saw
them again. The father presented
his 16-year-old son with a brace of

churches but not actively connected
with any of them, and from corpora
tions. The total UNCONVENTIONAL
budget is $~288,069.
The survey which is now under
way in Montana has revealed the
fact that of the 453 Protestant pas
tors but few of them get a ling wage.
Their average yearly salary is $3.50.
OF the even church hospitals in the
state only one out of every 10 APP
p~licants is admitted because of lack
of accommodations.
The Interchurch budget has set
aside a sum of $~20,510,290 for
hospitals at Great Falls, Butte, Boze-
man, Billings, Glasgow, Sidney and
Havre have requested $886,50 out of
the hospital fund.
The request of the Montana Yves
leyan university at Helena for $780,
900 has already been granted and
that institution is sure of that
amount. In speaking of the finan-
cial campaign in Montana Mr.. Meek
lenburg made the statement that for
every dollar raised in this state two
would be spent here through the CO.
operating churches. He accounted
for this by explaining that much of
the religious activity for this state
will be pioneer missionary work.
The financial campaign is direct
ed by a financial cabinet composed
of the state financial director and
UNCONVENTIONAL directors from the
cooperating churches. This cabinet
is as follows:
Gnnron haal1nnh Trn oh frpa n .
N. H. Burdick, Presbyterian, Helena;
L.. Stein, United Brethren, Sidney;
G. j. Powell, Congregational, Bill
ings; w. M. Jordon, Disciples, Butte;

G. l.. Bovard, Methodist Episcopal,
Helena; H. J.. Graves, Methodist
South, M~issoula; E. H.
Evangelical Association,
Billings.
AS a preliminary step for the fin
ancial drive a series of county con-
ferences was held throughout the
at which was presented the
complete program o fthe Interchurch
World Movement. The answer of
the ministers and lay delegates who
attended these meetings was a un-
ANXIOUS response to the call for CO.
operative action on the part of the
churches in undertaking the new
ask which has been planed before
hem.

ment of conjecture is absent for it
is based on a scientific survey of
the needs OF the world.
When the program of the Inter
church World Movement was pre-
scented to the pastors of the state
who gathered nearly 100 per cent
strong at the state pastors confer
ence held in Helena in February,
they unanimously adopted its plan
as the only solution in this state for
the problems which confronted the
progress of reconstructive religious
activity.
eff we are going to make the
church mean to the people what it
was intended that it should mean,
said one of the ministers at this
conference, "then we will have to
hit the ball. And we can not hit
the ball unless we get some team
work. 1t takes cooperation to put
across a program which includes the
biggest tasks yer attempted by the
churches"
In Montana the Rev. George Neck
lenburg of Helena has been appoint
ed as state financial director to stage
the financial drive which will be held
from April rs to May 2. Each
county has a financial director re-
presenting the cooperating de-
nominations.
The budget for Montana as an
.ounced by Mr.. M~ecklenburg is
$563,O69 divided among the de-
nominations as follows:
Baptist, 100000; Congregational,
$4,000; Disciples, 100000; Epis-
copal, Sal, 900; Methodist, 1921, $50;
Methodist Episcopal South, $1,000;

srn, s12,320; Interchurch, $275,-I

whats a church? Why, that's
a house with windows in to throw
rocks at. l cracked n yesterday
and did not get caught"
This is the answer given to an en-
umerator for the religious census,
which was taken in Montana recently,
by a small boy when asked what a
church was. While it may not re-
present the common knowledge
among boys of their conception of
a church yet it is a singing indict-
ment of the church and the lethargic
state into which it has gradually
worked itself. Hundreds of the
youthful population of Montana look
at a religious edifice in that one
light, it is a good target at which to
peg a rock.
When the signing of the armistice
heralded the death knoll of the
Worlds war it sounded a trumpet
whihc struck straight at the heart
of the churches. 1t awakened them
to a realization of the fact that their
dogmas of old had grown ossified,
that their theological theories had
been enmeshed in cobwebs, and that
their ideas of religious activity had
been relegated to the antiquity of
the medieval ages. Their progress
had been stifled by doctrines and
prejudicial differences. The youth
whom they had started out to teach
had grown up in ignorance of church
life. The churches had been left
empty, not only through the week
but on Sunday morning as well.
The pastors had been forgotten and
permitted to petrify along with their
antiquated dogmas on a starving
wage.
A realization of this hesitancy in
progress was the direct u for
the organization of the Interchurch
World Movement. Each denomina-
ton had initiated a forward move
ment within its own circles but as
the scope of its needs became larger
and larger another realization made
an impression. A world task con-
fronted the churches which working
separately they could not meet.
They decided that if they were to
chit the ball" they would have to
develop some sort of team work. 1t
was the spirit of christian coopera-
ton which inspired the denomina-
lions to enter into the Interchurch
World Movement and present to the
world a practical demonstration that
they were equal to the occasion of
reconstructing the mission work of
the church. !
The first step taken in this CO.
operative movement was to learn
the facts with which the churches
would have to deal. A world wide
survey was outlined which included
the most remote corners of the earth.
Industrial, social and religious con-
ditions e investigated to learn
what conditions really existed. This
scientific survey which is still in
progress has revealed to the church
es for the first time the whole task
of the whole church.
AS a result of this preliminary
step 80 denominations have coperat-
ed in the Interchurch World Move
ment and combined their denomina-
tional budgets making a total of
