HASTE is WASTE
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

IF Love is the greatest good
thing in the world, then Hate Is
the greatest evil thing in the
world. For Hate Is the opposite
of Love. Love warns, Hate
freezes. Love attracts, Hate re-
pels. Love is Life, Hate is
Death.
Hate is the worst Waste that
can possibly enter a Human
Soul.
Love fills, nourishes and pros
pers both the Lover and the
Loved. But Hate tears and
Wastes everything that it
touches in the life Of the Halter
and the Hated. Hate is Poverty
Impoverished. When you
think about Hating anyone,
pause long enough to feel its
poisonous sting creep through
your own being and then THINK.
The chances are then that you
will chase i. from your life.
Hate always hurts the Halter
most-for "a many cases the
Hated is big enough not to let
the Hate In.
Don't let Hate get to you to-
day. And if you have sent it
out at any day to anyone, 60
and find where it went and take
1t back and bury it.

Express Freight Line

When the Union and Pacific rail
roads were united at Ogden, a new
transportation route was opened in
to Montana. Corrine, Utah, be-
came the new base and the Diam
ond R, with other transportation
companies, began freighting from
there. Among other competitors
were many Mormon teams, which
broke in upon the larger compan-
les, and when winter came, COM
munication ceased altogether.
The Diamond R put on a fast
freight line, to be run as a regular
express at all seasons of the year,
An extremely cold and snowy win
ter came on. Broadwater, Maclay
and Carroll took all kinds OF
chances, facing Billiards, shovel
ing snow-trying to keep the roads
open and get their wagon trains
through. But many teams were
delayed or stopped in the drifts
and cattle and mules died on the
trail. The company lost heavily
and only recouped after several
profitable years.
In the late 70's the advent of the
Northern Pacific and other rail.
road building broke up the freight
ing business and the partners dis
solved the Diamond R.
Lite on the freight trails was
filled with hardships and freight.

Feghing With Bul and Mule Teams in the Days the
Formed One Picturesque Forgotten

year, July 3, 1860, that the first
two boats, the Chippewa and the
Key West, reached the fort, having
on board six companies of United
States infantry under command Of
Colonel George H. Blake. They
were en- route to Fort Walla Walla,
Washington. At Fort Benton the
troops were met by Lieutenant
John Mullan, builder of the Mullan
road over the Occur d'Alene noun
tains.
Carroll used to give vivid des-
cription of the arrival of the first
steamboats, at Fort Benton and the
grand celebration that accompan-
led the event. 1t took three days
for the officials and employees at
the fort to recover from the effects,
but he used to say that the occa-
sion was justified, as it marked an
epoch in the history of the fort,
Followed, as it was, almost imme-
diately by the discovery of gold in
Montana and the consequent rush
of emigration, it changed the whole
order of things at the post. It was
the beginning of that period of a
quarter of a century during which
Fort Benton was the most import.
ant point between the Mississippi
and the Pacific coast on the nor.
thern routes.
In 1868 Carroll, who had pros.
pered in his business ventures, re-
organized his firm to take over the
Diamond R Company, which ha6
been established three years pre-
viously by two Missouri rive
steamboat captains, John ]. Ro,
and Nicholas Wall, to carry freigh
between Fort Benton and the golt
camps of Montana and Idaho.
The new business soon assumed
enormous proportions and repres
ented a heavy investment, TO
freighting by contract and other
wise was engaged in between al
points in the Northwest, as we'll a
between Fort Benton and trading
posts in Canada and as far soutl
as Utah. At that time its brand

Great Diamond R Company

Great Diamond R Company
The partners stocked the Diam
ond r with the finest mule trains
and OK trains that money could
buy. Their wagons met steamers
at Fort Benton, Camp Cooke, at
the mouth of the Judith river (Fort
Claggett), and, after 1874, at Car
roll, and carried their cargoes to
every mining camp, town, army
post and Indian agency in the
Northwestern country. They con-
tracted with the government for
transporting supplies, not only to
military camps and posts, but also
with troops in the field. Carroll,
in person, took charge of the sup
ply trains of General Gibbon and
other commands during the Sioux
campaign Of 1876, and was among
the first on the battlefield where
Custer and his command were wip-
ed out, the day after the battle. He
was with Colonel Baker when at
tackled by Sitting Bull at Bakers
battle ground, now occupied by
the town of Huntley.
1t was an immense and profitable
industry. The Diamond r COM
pany was the largest single enter.
prise in the Rocky mountain region
in the middle 70's.
The Diamond r partners firmly
believed Carroll would supplanr
Fort Benton as the river traffic
terminal, and they expected a city
to grow there. Maclay, who be
came we'll known in St. Louis
Sioux City and other shipping
points down the river, spent par
of his time in those cities, acquaint
ing the shippers with the advant
ages of Carroll as a receiving point
and was most successful in direct
ing freight there. Fort Bentol
suffered considerably from TIN
competition for a couple of years
but due to the fact that the roa,
from Carroll to the gold camps il
western Montana led through tn
Judith Basin, which was the hear
of the hostile Indian country, an,
the constant attacks on Wagon
trains on that route, and bad roads
the success of the town was grad
ually impaired, and toward the lat
7O's Carroll became less and les
important and finally was aband
oned entirely.

ing was mans work in all seasons.
A wagon boss had to be resource
full and of iron nerve, equal to any
emergency. From this class there
were developed some of the out.
standing business men of the west
ern states and territories.
On freighting trip there were
no Sundays or holidays. The boss
and the SINNERS worked day after
day, unless nature interfered and
they had to lie for days with a
swollen and unfordable stream in
front of them.
Breaking in a new steer, wild
from the ranges, broke the mono
tony of the mornings and moons,
and from the time the rope was on
him until he was being reluctantly
hauled along as one of the team,
the fun was fast and furious. Es-
pecially would this be the case if
he broke loose and with heavy
yoke swinging around his neck,
would make the SINNERS crawl TN
der the wagons until the key broke.
the yoke flew off at a tangent and
the business began afresh.
! Some of the old-time bullwhack-
ers, once Indian fighters, to whom
an Indian was one degree lower
than a coyote, are still living, but
like the early day placer miners
their ranks are thinning rapidly
To many of these the bull train
stood for home, and they felt like
evicted tenants when the shrek OF
the locomotive sounded the des-
truction of the bull camp.
For a time during the early
steamboating days, owing to the
limited means of transportation
compared with its needs, freighter:
commanded their own prices and a,
times received as high as ten cent:
per pound for hauls of 100 mile.
or less. This did not continue long
! however, for freighters soon be
: came plentiful. In one year, 1867
it was estimated, Montana alon,
Ipaid 81 100000 in gold for freigh
! charges and the population mum
: bered only a few thousands.

terminals of the 70's was Mile

then a railroad construction CAM
: and later COW town. Describin.

) editor of that place, wrote:
