to the home in Wyoming, where she
wrote, in closing an autobiography
compiled with the assistance OF

ARE IN TROUBLE
STORAGE TICKET HOLDERS OP-
POSE MOVE TO REORGANIZE
CORPORATION.
Many Delegates From All Parts OF
Montana Present at Informal Hear
ing in Helena; Receiver May BE
Asked to Dispose of Assets for the
Benefit of Creditors.

At an informal hearing In Helena
recently before Judge A. j. Horsky in
the district court which was called
for the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed reorganization of the Montana
Grain Growers corporation which is
now in the hands of a receiver a
number of the storage ticket holders
expressed themselves as being en-
phatically opposed to the reorganiza-
ton of the corporation. These ticket
holders were present as delegates
from various parts of Montana.
Chester G. Davis, commissioner OF
agriculture declined to be interview
ed following the meeting as to the
part he took in the discussion as a
representative of the state but it is
understood the commissioner oppos-
ed the proposal to reorganize taking
the position that such a move would
further jeopardize the value of the
storage tickets now in the hands of
many Montan farmers. An early de-
termination of the ~receivership was
advocated by Mr.. Davis, it was said.
j. G.. Crits, receiver for the Grain
Growers was not, present, having
been detained in st. Paul on import
ant business, but will be heard later
on the subject by Judge Horsky. His
attorney, former Governor S. ".

however.

CALIFORNIA LOT TO EACH
PURCHASER AS PREMIUM
Oil Well of 1000 Barrel Capacity
Brought in on Lots, All Owned by
Butte and Bozeman People; John
IL. Dorsh of Butte One of Men to
Benefit by Strike.

At least two Butte people and pos
sibly a number more who have not
yet received the news have been sud-
denly enriched because of an oil
strike in California on land they
we're given as an incentive to pur-
chase a set of books in 1914.
John l.. Dorsh, of Dorsh & Green
field, is n of the two Butte resi-
dents who have probably come mex
pectedly into a fortune as the result
of the completion of a 1~,000-barrel
well. He received a letter recently
from Salt Lake City informing him
of the good news, and since then he
has been computing the probable in
come that will accrue to him all be-
cause of the purchase of a set of
''books of knowledge"
Another of the Butte persons who
made the fortunate investment in
books and received a lot of oil-bear-
ing land as a bonus is Anton j. Knie-
vel of the Ryan Fruit company. Both
Knievel and Dorsh are thousands of
dollars Weather than they were a
week ago, statisticians who claimed
to have some knowledge of oil and
its wealth-creating ~propensities fig
ured.
Inasmuch as 100 lots are in the
tract on which the oil strike was
made, that many people, if they have
continued to pay taxes upon their
California property, will derive pro-
fits in oil royalties of more substan-
tial form than the knowledge con-
tanned in the encyclopedias which
they purchased. 1t is not unlikely
that Is or 20 of the book sets may
have been sold in Butte alone. A
number of the books were disposed
of at Bozeman and a larger number
were placed at Salt Lake City.
In May of 1914 Dorsh was ap-
preached by a book agent who sold
him a set and presented him with a
deed to a lot on Huntington beach,
below Los Angeles, Cal, Dorsh said.
The books were good, but the lot was
ordinary dry land of no particular
value. However, he continued to
pay the taxes, which amounted to "
cents yearly, and Knievel did like
wise.
A number of months ago Dorsh
and Knievel entered into a joint
agreement with 100 lot owners to
lease their property to the Globe
Petroleum company. The lease was
perfected at Salt Lake City, and at
that time each lot owner received
500, which was s55 more than was
paid for each set of books.
Subsequently, he received offers of
$500 for his interest in the land and
lease, but for some reason and acting
on a "hunch," he rejected all offers,
said.

BIG HORN W

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASKS AS
re MONTANA'S ATTITUDE
ON DEVELOPMENT
Dam for Power Would Impound Suf-
ficient Water to Reclaim 100000
Acres of Land; Government En-
gineer Shoots Rapids and Makes
Study of Possibilities.

Montana's attitude on a grant by
the federal government of a power
site permit on the Big Horn river fol
the proposed gigantic development
scheme of the Big Horn Canyon Irri-
cation and Power company of Hardin
is asked by the federal power com
pany of Hardin is asked by the fed
eral power commission in letters re-
ceived by Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon
and c. S. Heidel, state engineer,
from o. G. Merrill, executive secre-
tary of the federal commission.
Mr.. Heidel is asked to make an in
yestigation of the project and report
his findings and recommendations to
the federal body.
The Hardin project is one of the
west. A dam 470 feet high is pro-
posed in Big Horn canyon. 1t will,
according to the plans of it's hackers,
store water enough to irrigate 100,-
600 acres. 1t will develop 218,0O0
horse power and this, it is minated,
will be used largely in the electrified
ton of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad for a distance of sew
eral hundred miles. The cost of the
project is estimated at about $780,
600, 700.
Nationwide attention recently was
directed to the Big Horn project
through the feat of B. e. Jones, a
hyd~ro-electric engineer in the United
States geological survey, who "shot
the rapids" of the Big Horn canyon
in a canoe, making, in fact, a canoe
trip through the length of the an
yon from Lowell, Wyo., to Hardin,
Mont. His purpose was to study the
available water power along the
route. At the time he made the trip,
early in the summer, it was said the
Big Horn project now described was
the object of the journey. His re-
port was not made public, but his
return to his headquarters at Wash
ington, ID. c., was followed by the
formal request of the development
company for a power site permit.
This, in turn, has now been referred
to the state authorities.
State Engineer Heidel also has
been asked by the federal power com-
mission to report to the commission
the states attitude on the proposed
power site on the Kootenai falls. This
is commonly understood to be a part
of the Great Northern's plan of de-
veloping power for the identification
of it's railroad through the moun-
famous section of Montana.
Three power site applications on
the Flathead river also have been re-
to Heidel's office by the fed
eral commission. All are believed to
be links in the plan of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
road identification in the western
part of the state.

been waiting, in thrilled suspense
for the coming of two beaux to heI

court for some time. The other she
had met, did not even know his
name, but her cousin, Will Mcdonald.

him to the house, explaining only
that he was a young man who had
served valiantly with the Union army
in the war of the rebellion.
Suddenly, the chair vas pulled
from under her, without warning.
Angrily, she turned, expecting to find
her cousin, and slapped the practical

his friend up to the prank. Miss
Frederici was introduced to William
Frederick Cody.
Caller Was Tall and Straight
The girl, in spite of her embarrass-
ment at the unusual manner of meet
ing, noted that her caller was ''tall
and straight and strong; that his
hair was jet black, his features fine

sharp; determined and yet kindly,

arrived the town had moved. Only
the saloon was left. The Kansas Pa

and his partner had refused to give
the railroad a half title in the new
town, had established one of their

creditors and to also direct the re-

RECALLS CAREER
OF BUFFALO BILL
WOMAN WHO SHARED HIS AD-
VENTURES AND EXPLOITS
is NO MORE.
Married Colonel Cody When He Was
ri: Lived Life of Danger on the
Plains; Taught to Shoot Straight
and Quickly; Last of Her Family;
an Adventurous Career.

The death of Mrs. Louisa Fred
erici Cody, widow of Buffalo Bill,
which occurred at Cody, Wyoming q
few days ago, recalls the romatiC
career of a man and a woman who
were we'll known and had many
friends among the pioneers of Mon
tana.
Louisa FREDERICK, the daughter OF
John Frederick, a native of Alsace
Lorraine, who had settled in old
Frenchtown, near ST Louis, became
the bride of William F. Cody, March
6, 1866. Although he already had
encountered many thrilling exper-
fences on the western plains and had
killed his first Injun." Cody was
only 81 years old, and had not yet
earned the sobriquet that every
%schoolboy soon was TO speak with
awe.
His bride had concluded her edu-
cation in a convent shortly before she
met the man who was to become
Americas most famous plainsman.
So it was into a life utterly strange
to her, to all her training and ideals
of refinement, that the Alsatian's
daughter was carried by her young,
fearless husband. How she faced
terrifying experiences with true hero
ism, how she triumphed over her
fears in encounters with Indians and
the wild lift of the primal lands
these achievements were like those
of other mothers of the west, but
more interesting because her life was
linked with that of a mar whose char
acter lives in American history and in
fiction.
Hunted Buffalo
The young bride was taught by her
husband to shoot straight and shoot
quickly. She was instructed in the
art of detecting Indian signs and bat
thing painted redskins. She even
was iniated into the secrets of buff
falo hunting and accompanied her
husband on such expeditions.
She bore Buffalo Bill" three chill
dren, two girls and a boy. The boy
died in infancy of scarlet fever. The
daughters passed away a few years
ago.
