Special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD
CHICAGO, Nov. 25. - The molecule,
smallest possible unit of a chemical com
pound, after thousands of years in mod
est retirement came forward at the Uni
versity OF Chicago to-day to be photo
gr'aphed and cast in everlasting bronze.
The molecules portrait, which was one
OF the principal exhibits at the one hum
dred and eleventh meeting of the Amer
lean Physics Society, WAS prepared to
illustrate a paper by Prof. Jared X.
Morse.
The molecule as exhibited in all it's
unexpected beauty at Ryerson labora-
tory is nine inches in diameter. its COM
ponent atoms scientifically spaced in ac-
cordance with measurements obtained by
Prof Morse are represented by putty
balls in various colors.
'-The model Is 250.0o0,000 times as
large as the original" said Prof. Morse

This bill permits two methods for
certification of bonds of districts.
One is under the old law of 1909 by
providing for certification of bonds

Benjamin F. Bisel IS years old
and for IS years resident of Gala
tin county. was honored by the Odd
Fellows of Bozeman last week when
they presented to him a 50-year Odd
Fellow jewel, one of the very few
worn in the state. His wife. who
has been a member of the Rebekah
lodge since its organization in Boze-
man. was presented by the women
Of the lodge with handsome vase
and a bouquet of flowers.
Bisel is one of the few men living
who crossed the plains with Jim
Bridger. reaching Virginia City in
1864. The following year he went
to the Gallatin valley and took up a
farm a few miles south of the present
city of Bozeman. He has the dis
tinction Of having run the first
threshing machine in Montana.
Bisel was born in Richland county,
Ohio. in 1886. After his arrival in
the Gallatin valley in 1865 he had
many thrilling experiences. as that
country was then infested with war
parties of various Indian tribes. The
night before John NJ. Bozeman was
killed, Bisel and we'll known pion-
eer of the name Of Coover were out
hunting their horses on the Yellow
stone. They encountered the same
band that the next day killed the un.
fortunate Bozeman. and were forced
to give up the whole band of horses
to the Indians. These animals were
the only property that Bisel owned
at the time. excepting his farm.
Bisel was in Virginia City during
the flour riots of 1865 and he bought
500 pounds Of flour at 81 per pound
just before the entire stock held b!
the merchants was seized and distri.
buted to the miners by the rioters.
1t was in the summer of 1855 that
Coover & Meadow brought the first
threshing machine to Bozeman. Bise
says it was a small machine of the
endless apron type and it was run by
horse power. eight horses being re-
Quired to operate the machine.

GALLATlN PIONEER OPERATED
FIRST THRESHER IM MONTANA

Bisel earned about $1,000 with this
machine, getting rs cents per bushel.
but not setting the machine at any
farm for less than $50. The season
lasted nearly all winter, but the far
mers in those days stacked their
grain ready for threshing. 90 they
were not delayed much on account OF
the weather.
Bisel remembers many of the far
mers for whom he threshed during
that season, beginning with W. W.
Anderson and Sanford Ruffner. To
the north of Bozeman he threshed for
w. H. Tracy, A. H. Van Vlierden and
l.. b. Lyman. The threshing ma
chine was taken down the valley as
far as Gallatin City and up West Gal
latin for several miles. Threshing
was done for Penwell brothers
Henry Wright. Joe Wilson. George
w. Krattcer, Drew and Halle. Sam
Roach and others, and up West Gal
latin for Wells brothers. Kit Ether
ington and Hugh Leonard.
At the end of two years the ma.
chine was bought by John Ault, who
leased 1t to Thomas Lewis and he
hired Bisel to operate It. After il
had been in use for about four years
Bisel says, the threshing machine
was practically worn out, but it had
done excellent service for many o.
the pioneer farmers. Elk Morse and
one or two other farmers Drought

the valley in 1856 and 1867.
The first steam threshing machine
was also brought into the valley b!

Bitter Root Pea Crop

While Bitter Root valley firms will
not reduce their acreage on pea con-
tracts as much as was feared on &C
count of overstocked canneries,
prices have been reduced from one

N. B. Keeney & Sons will contract
for 1000 acres this season, accord

Walker, manager Of the Great West

ably not reduce the acreage contract
ed for as much as was at first ex-

will depend upon the needs of the
Gamers for the coming year.
