order to force the Reserve Banks t,
reduce rates and to flood the coun
try with loans on top of the already
existing plethora of money. If the
Federal Reserve Board had not with
stood this pressure, it is safe to say
| that the Federal Reserve System
would have squandered it's strength
before the subsequent demands oc-
casioned by the war began, and it is
not difficult to conceive the conse-
quences that might have followed for
the country and, indeed, for the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
AS to the accumulation of gold,
against which some are carrying on
so determined a propaganda, it gives
us an unused loaning power of many
billions of dollars available for our
country and the world when the
world gets ready to use it. When that
time comes nobody will profit more
from this vast reserve power than the
farmer.
What, however, would have be-
come of him and the rest of us if
during the war period that gold had
not been accumulated and enabled
the Federal Reserve Banks to sup
ply 1,7OO,0OO,OGO of additional cur
rency, and the banks of the country
3,0OO,000,O0O of additional loans.

1t is these grave questions that
have impelled the Council not to
disregard the move involved in the
Senate's bill, insignificant as it may
appear, and not to disregard the at
tacks against the Federal Reserve
System, no matter how ill-founded
they may be.
The Council, therefore, finally

banks situated in agricultural and
semi-agricultural counties.
Nevertheless the events of the past
two years convince the Council that
the machinery of agricultural credit
is not complete. In two respects espe-
cfally it needs strengthening:
In the first place there are about
twenty thousand State banks and
trust companies nearly two-thirds of
the total number of the banks of the
country, which through their unwill-
fngness, Or through inability be-
cause of their insufficient capital, are
not members of The Federal Reserve
System. Unfortunately the agricul-
tural sections are largely served by
the small member banks whose op-
Grating power is quickly exhausted
and by non-member State banks.
The resources of the System, through
no fault of its own, are therefore
not as directly or readily available
to agriculture as they might be, since
these many non-member banks in
the agricultural sections are able to
tap those resources only through the
other member banks. There are
scores of agricultural counties in
which there is not a single member
bank. 1t may, therefore, be desirable
to advise ways and means by which

of either spars or lines in making
her way upstream. Then the rugged
bluffs bordering the valley closed in
until they stood only IS feet apart,
towering straight above the vessel.
The current meanwhile increased in
depth and rapidity until it became a
torrent that ran no less than nine
miles an hour.
Wheel Beats Water Into Foam.
Telling of the struggle with the
stream at this point, Joseph Mills
Hanson, in his Conquest of the Mis-
souri," writes:
Every pound of steam was crowd
ed on the Josephine's boilers and her
paddle-wheel beat the water into
foam, but the utmost speed she could
make was one-sixth of q mile an
hour, and most of the time she SEEM

ordered the spars set. and after an ex-
hausting struggle of several hours the
boat was finally forced through The

ately termed, into the wider channel
beyond.

because of the inability of the Ana
conda company to market its copper
and zinc output, the necessity was
forced upon it to suspend operations,
which it is estimated cost the COM
pany 100000.
During this same period, the
plants of the American Brass COM
pany operated upon a basis which
would have enabled the Anaconda
company to have produced 100000
900 pounds of copper and at least
100000 pounds of zinc per month
during the entire period of the shut
down, without any accumulation of
metal stocks. This would have en-
abled the Anaconda company to have
avoided the necessity for closing its
plants, and resulted in the saving of
100000 in shutdown expense, and
would have been stabilizing factor
in the economic condition of Mon
tana and of the entire copper indus
try.
"These in brief are some of the
reasons which, in the judgment Of the
board of directors. make the acquisi-
ton of American Brass stock q de-
sirable transaction, and which have
influenced the decision to authorize
its purchase for the Anaconda Cop

WHEN THE STEAMBOAT JOSEPHINE WENT
WITHIN so MILES OF YELL 0WST0ME PARK

Within so miles of Yellowstone
park by steamboat! How would that
sound in an advertisement to lure the
eastern tourist to Montana. This
was accomplished in June 6, 1875, by
the steamer Josephine piloted by Cap
tain Grant Marsh and chartered by
the United States government. As
the result of this trip Lieutenant Col
onel j. w. Forsyth reported TO Gem
eral Phil Sheridan that the Yellow
stone river was navigable for COM
mercial purposes AZ far as the mouth
of the Big Horn, while the second Of
ficer Of the expedition, Lieutenant
Colonel #. D. Grant, states that the
river was navigable to Pompey's Pill
lar, within 80 miles Of the present
city Of Billings.
Both officers declared that the yell
lowstone, owing to it's gravel bed, it's
stable banks and islands. and its free
dom from snags, offered q much bet
ter highway for commerce from Fort
Buford to the settlements Of western
Montana than did the Missouri from
the same point to Fort Benton.
Railroads End River Traffic
The opportunity never came to de-
monstrate the correctness of their
judgment as the advent of the rail-
roads soon after put an end to all
through river traffic. Their report
aroused much interest in Montana
and in the fall of 1875 an expedition
was organized at Bozeman which un-
dertook to establish a town at 1.-The
Josephine's head Of navigation"
Nearly opposite the mouth of the
Big Horn. a small stockade was
erected and townsite laid out. The
founders of this post, which they
named Fort Pease in honor of the
chief of their expedition, F. D. Pease,
expected, like the builders of the
short-lived Musselshell or Kerchival
City, at the mouth OF the Mussel-
shell. to create a metropolis that
should eclipse Fort Benton in its
palmiest days. Pease and his asso-
viates expected to open q road be-
tween Fort Pease and Bozeman, tran
ship freight from steamboats, to
wagons and haul it over to the set

Indians Compel Abandonment
As was the case with the Mussel-
shell settlement, investment by In
dams compelled the colonists to aban-
don the post. Through out the win

In constant battle for existence.
When their number had been reduced
to Is through the killing of six and
the severe wounding of nine, it be-
came evident to the colonists that on

from humiliation at the hands of the
Sioux. One of the party succeeded
in carrying their appeal to the COM

sephine's men found inscribed the
words VIM. Clark, July Is, 1906

explorer, 50 years before.

soldiers followed Captain Clark's ex-

June 8, 1876 The voyagers re-
sumed their onward course at 3:45
o'clock next morning. But their
journey now became fraught with
many and increasing difficulties.
Numberless Islands Split Channel
THE great river, though apparent
ly undimished in volume, grew more
and more swift, constantly breaking
into rapids through which it was
necessary to warp and spar the boat,
while numberless small islands split
the channel into chutes. At
length, after two days of incessant
struggle, Pryor's fork was reached"
The next day the Josephine pushed
on, but before nightfall tremendous
rapid was encountered, which was
passed only after hard struggle.
Here the name Hell Roaring rap
ids" was given to the torrent. At
dawn of the next day reconnoiter-
ing party examined the river for sew
eral miles further up, but the current
was found to be SO powerful that it
was decided to turn back. The Jo-
sephine had reached point 463
miles above the mouth of the Yellow
stone and less than so miles in an
air line from the northeast corner
of the present Yellowstone national
park-nearly 40 miles up the stream
from the site of Billings.

of the afternoon the Josephine drew
in sight of an isolated butte rearing
its head above the southern bank
and, from the point where it was

1.-THE best Of all the shows in spite

Mr.. Yeaton stated that the fruit ex-
hibit was as large as it had been for
number of years and of superior
quality In all of the boxes and bar

apple-a remarkable record consider
| ing that there were over 900 plates on
display. This means that the far

The display of seeds was equal to
any that was ever held in the State,
all varieties of grams, peas, beans,
corn, etc, being exhibited in long
rows extending across one side of the
hall There was tine display OF

THE pilot slowed down his engine
and asked me where the big fire was
L told him we must have passed it
while in the snow squat, so we
turned and went back following the
squat, l then saw that what [ had
taken for jumps from the fire was
III reality the only fire there. By
looking straight down 1 could see
that along the log hauler roads and
where the slash had been thickest,
it was heavily burned but that after
the fire had entered the hardwood
growth it had burned lightly over
burn the leaves not even being
burned from the trees.
This being my first flight I had
little idea as to distance. In look
ing over Squapan Lake, sixteen
miles distant, it did not look to be
more than five miles away. An
other thing that seemed strange to
me was, that in looking down,
could not see the hills and valleys
as they are; everything looked per-
fectly fiat. The farms with newly
dug potato fields looked like con-
crete floors and the surrounding
woods looked like ornamental gar
dens. The farm houses looked like
bird houses and where the woods
were thick looked like a highly col
ored carpet In flying over Little
Machias Lake, which is about one
and one half miles long and half Il
mile wide, it looked like small
pond We saw many smokes from
fires, but unless they were near some
town or some lake that / knew, |
could do nothing locating them from
that distance.

the point from which we had started
after having been gone twenty-three
minutes. I had quite a talk with Mr..
Maxim and asked him many ques-
tons: afterwards he came to my
house and we had long talk. He
would like very much to see air
planes or seaplanes in the Forestry
Service. i asked him one question
as to how near the treetops he could
safely fly. and he answered that he
had to figure on / 600 it. elevation

also said that VIC were taking a

were up only 1900 IT., where we

would have lost his plane.
