THE 66GOmB1MAT00N," FAMOUS
OLD-Tl@E MEIHART RESORT

From its door one night went fortf
a young man, never to be heard OF
or seen in Neihart and his disappear
ance is as much a mystery today as
it was for weeks after his departure
He was the leader of the town band
and popular, and no cause for his
mysterious disappearance could ever
be found or even surmised. And re-
calling his fate reminds us:
Charlie Hops, the piano dealer and
virtuoso of Great Falls, was sent for
to put in playing shape the excellent
instrument at the Combination. AT
ter expertIy tuning up the piano,
Charlie in the evening favored the
assembled crowd to a few selections.
While he was seated at the piano a
roughly dressed stranger approached
him and entered into conversation.
Then mounting the platform the
the stranger extracted a battered pic
colo from his shirt bosom and follow
ed an hour or two of exquisite mel
ody, accompanied by Hops on the
piano. No score was used, in fact
it later developed the piccolo artist
was nearly blind and he certainly
GIL OIL loL OPCld 5OhlDt
classics and popular airs were all
one to him and his able accompanist,
all played from memory.
The piccolo player remained in
Neihart for a time and attempted to
work at his trade of carpenter, but
the misfortune of approaching blind
ness, coupled with a disposition to
drown his troubles in drink brought
him into straits of dependence. A
benefit performance and donations
from the charitable gave him a lift
and he disappeared into the outer
With the fortunes of the camp the
Combination went down hill until
now it's dilapidated exterior gives no
of departed glories. It's floor
less interior is the abiding place of
dust and cobwebs. No trace of the
g~reen-top tables remains and there is
nothing but silence and gloom where
in years long gone the rattle of chips,
clink of glasses and money on
The bar ~resounded.

Fine Wheat Yield Near Harlem

The highest wheat yield per acre
reported so far for this season was
threshed out of a two-acre plot by
Carl K. Krass on the H. C. Anderson
ranch in the valley two miles west of
Harlem. The two acres yielded 82b
bushels of plump kernels. This
wheat was grown from a species of
Marquis seed which had been propa-
gated for several years under the dir
ection of the state agricultural col
lege. This plot was one of four in
the county put in last spring under
the supervision of the county agent
for the purpose of propagating the
variety and will be registered. Mr..
Krass is keeping the entire crop TO
sell for seed next spring.
This wheat was grown on ground
that had flax on the year before and
had been plowed last fall. 1t was IT.
by the flood waters last
spring, but had nothing but the nat
ural rainfall all summer. The regu-
lar Marquis wheat grown in an adj
joining field under practically the
same conditions yielded only Is bu-
shells per acre.

THE COFFEE MILL AND THE
SAD IRON GONE INTO LIMBO

Gone are the days when mothers
coffee mill grinding out a sound, to
our ears more musical than the song
of the morning lark, reused the
household with its aroma of fragrant
Mocha, faster than a dozen breakfast
bells.
For the little wooden coffee mill
has gone the way. of the old soap
stone pancake griddle and the sad
irons with detachable handles and
the score of other things that n
couldn't keep house without in
grandmother's day, declare hardware
dealers.
I'VE haven't had a call for a cof-
fee mill for a month";" one merchant
said, "and we only keep enough in
stock to justify our reputation of
having everything in hardware.
Housewives don't grind their coffee
any more. 1t comes to them in air
the factory. Or the grocer grinds it
in his huge electric mill when they
buy the bulk kind.
Somehow this coffee, ground
days and even months before it is
used, seems to lack the aroma that
kind had that came out of the
mill in mothers kitchen just a few
minutes before it went into the pot.
Home economics experts are begin
hing to advocate the use of the old
'ashioned mill as the only way of
preserving the delicate volatile oil of
he coffee bean which cannot stand
exposure to the air.
Il don't suppose the time will ever
ONE again though, when the little
coffee mill will be as staple
n article of kitchen furnishings as
stove. Those were good old days
nd this new canned coffee genera
ion is missing a lot at that"

From the center of night life &C
tivity in Neihart's early day to the
last stages of deereptitude with leaky
ROOT and lightless windows staring
out upon our busy streets, stands a
gaunt and empty building occasion
ally used for the storage of junk and
rapidly becoming unfit even for that
lowly purpose. 1t once had a name
known far and wide and even that
had passed from our memory until
recalled through happening to glance
from the window Of the train the
other day when our eye was caught
by an advertising sign painted on a
convenient rock face a few miles
down the canyon, 1.-THE Combination,
Mix & Johnson" With lightning
speed memory dropped 80 years OF
life's struggle and we were young
again, the world before us, when men
worked and played with equal yigor
and rose by their own exertions or
fell through their own errors.
For many years the Combination
was the meeting place and play
ground of the life of early day Nei-
hart's population of the masculine
gender. 1t was typically and frank
ly a licensed saloon and gambling
house. There were others, of course,
but the Combination for a long time
was easily the leader, and if one de-
sired to meet an acquaintance it was
only necessary to go there and if not
found there at once, to simply wait.
He was sure to be there sooner or
later.
Every brand of humanity which
obeyed the call to mining camp life
has passed it's portal at one time or
another. for the hospitality it pur-
veyed was open to all. Within its
walls have been enacted high revelry,
comedy, tragedy and despair.
Where Fortunes Changed Hands
Fortunes have ben won and lost
upon it's tables in high play and I'M
told money s~quandered across its
bar. P~ale-faced faro dealers have
taken with deft hands and equal i'm
p~erturbability the chips lost by white
men, negroes and Cinnamon. High
rollers have sat around its poker
tables and lost and won vast sums
with varying displays of tempera-
ment and temper. Quieter patrons
sat for hours listening to the
generally quite excellent orchestra
was employed during the even
ing hours while hunger was cared
for night or day by a most capable {;
chef, who held sway in the real of
the building. {
The saloon was always open and
there were no dull moments night or t
day, but mostly it was a good natur-
ed crowd. Fights there were of {
and one or two grim TRACE Y
dies. ]

vvYILLIAM BOYCE THOMPSON, known in Montana as
M Boulder" Thompson, born in Virginia City, Montana,
' 81 years ago, is credited with having made more money
than any other %native-born Montanan, one authority estimating
his personal fortune today at more than 100000. AS a dir
ector of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, president of a
number of great mining companies, controlling stakeholder IN
such great business enterprises as the Knox Hat Company and
the Curtiss Aircraft Corporation, and a prominent figure IN nu-
merous other industrial and commercial institutions, he has be-
come a figure of national prominence. Twenty-three years ago,
in 1898, he was an unsuccessful candidate for state treasurer of
Montana, and he doubtless owes his remarkable financial career
to the fact that he did not get the nomination and win in the
election. He was at the head of the Red Cross Mission to Rus
STA, the enormous expenses of which he paid for entirely. He
aided his friend, Herbert c. Hoover, in raising millions of dol
lars for the Belgian relief fund. He was a close friend of Colonel
Roosevelt, and is president of the Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton. The name of Boulder" Thompson was given to him by
old-time Montana friends who used to go on fishing trips with
him. The fact that Colonel Thompson was particularly fond of
q stream known as Boulder creek, near Butte, was responsible
for his nickname.
