after the outlaws tooth and nail.
One night in early fall, after par
ticularly disastrous raid upon the
Roosevelt cattle, he was informed that
part of the Rustler gang with their
leader were celebrating in Medaora
Gathering up few of his cowboys,
he rode straight to town, and dis
mounted in front of the saloon. Sens
ing gunfight, the loungers crowded
through the door behind him and
formed semi-circle around the bar.
Roosevelt never drank, and the crowd
knew by the light in his eyes that he
was in no easy mood. Straight across
the little low ceiling room he strobe
alone. Leaning against the rough
bar stood the leader of the gang,
whom we will call Sandy, tall heavy
set bronzed plainsman, dangerous and
merciless. Roosevelt grabbed him by
the shoulder and whirled him around.
Sandy's gun leaped from it's holster
and the cold muzzle pressed against
the ranchman's stomach. A minute
of deadly stiffness in the room-then
Roosevelt, unarmed, began to talk.
Straight into the glowering face of
the killer he poured flood of abuse,
flood Of cold hard words that stung
like whip lash and cut like a knife.
Never raising his voice, he continued
the bitterest, most artistic verbal
beating ever to linger in the memory
of those dazed and quiet men who
were gathered there to see a fight.
Gradually he forced that outlaw back
across the room and backed him into
corner. Still that gun was held
against his stomach, but the finger on
the trigger was paralyzed. Suddenly
Sandy collapsed and cringed on his
knees in the darkness of the alcove,
his gun ratified to the floor, he was a
beaten man. Beaten without the aid
of gun or two fists-beaten by the
sheer force of a stronger will, an in
domitable spirit.
This little story sounds too impos-
sible, perhaps, but it is nevertheless
true, and the few men who still re-
member that night in Medora will
tell you the same thing. Here was
man who played the game in the open
who feared no living thing-whose
principles of right and justice were
as firm as Gibralter. Such men, my
friends, are not plentiful in this world
today. Needless to say, the rustlers
never bothered the Little Missouri
ranchmen.
In one year Roosevelt could ride
the range in the bitterest weather and
laughFat his half-frozen companions.
He could shoot straight, rope cattle
and handle horse as we'll as the
most seasoned cowboy. He came to
Medora a green sickly kid, but inside
of the frail body famed a spirit that
could not be quenched. He came out
to Dakota to regain his health, and,
true to that spirit, he bucked the
game, drove himself on through the
worst kind of hardships and made
himself a real man. The men of the
West never forget things like that;
they have lived that terrible life
terrible, yet fascinating and wonder
full. Those few who still survive are
truly scattered to the four winds, but
the memory of Theodore Roosevelt
will ever burn brightly and the great

NATION PAYS RESPECT TO ROOSEVELT
FRIDAY MARKS BIRTHDAY OF
HONOR
WAS LOYAL AND TRUE TO COMRADES

Friday of this week marks the an
niversary of the birth of Theodore
Roosevelt. Throughout the country,
all manner of organizations, large and
small, are laying plans for the proper
celebration of this day, and columns
are being written for this especial oc-
casion. In view of these facts, it is
rather hard to even begin such an
article. The Post, however, feels so
inclined and few thoughts in pass
ing will be the sum and substance of
an effort in our small way to pay
homage to the memory of this great
American.
The country mourned the death of
this man. Statesmen, bankers, poll
ticians, Senators, diplomats, prize
fighters, horsemen, ministers-men in
all walks of life bowed their heads
If but for moment, and paid respect
to him. But scattered over the coun-
try were many men and women whose
faces never appear in fashionable
places, whose names never appear in
the headlines, whose homes are hum
BILE and whose lives are simple. These
men and women knew Theodore
Roosevelt as a man and a friend. At
some point in his marvellous career,
he had entered their lives; somewhere
on his journey through life he had
paused with them, talked to them,
lived with them. They knew him, not
as Roosevelt the. President; not as
Roosevelt, the logged fighter in poll
tics, but as Roosevelt, the kindly
voiced, great hearted man. To those
people the loss of this man came as
distinct personal shock. No one in
the world was ever more loyal
friend than Theodore Roosevelt.
Nestled in the forbiddirg Bad Lands
of South Dakota, between the banks
of the little Missouri River and the
foothills of the buttes marking the
beginning of the Bighorn range lies
the little town of Medora. In the
early eighties, the now prosperous
borough was just a tumble of dirty
little shacks, and the only building of
any pretentions whatsoever was the
saloon-the center of frontier life at
that time. There are still one or two
old grizzled veterans of the open
ramon who CON ro,,o,,bo, +bo J,xr
when the greenest tenderfoot in the
United States stepped off the Mis-
souri, Pacific train one fine spring
afternoon at the station and inquired
the way to hotel. Slight, frail,
young and wearing glasses. That was
Theodore Roosevelt. And his COM
ing marked distinct event in the life
of Medora. He bought a ranch about
six miles up the river and hired an
outfit and bought cattle. Gradually
the good-natured buffoonery of the
happy go lucky cow punchers gave
way to wonderment at the manner in
which the Harvard graduate took to
the bitter hard life of the cattle game.
just at the time Roosevelt arrived
in Medaora, the ranchmen in that
vicinity were up in arms because of
the persistent activities of rustlers.
And thereby hangs a tale which per-
haps has never been told.
Young Roosevelt was instrumental
in forming the Little Missouri Pro-
tective Association and with the law
abiding ranchmen behind him, went

failing health. Another sister, Mrs.
Holiday Landram, died about a
month ago. Mrs. Virginia Bass was
a native of Virginia. She married
w. E. Bass in 1862 and two years
later crossed the plains from Missouri
to Montana, locating that year in the
Bitter Root valley.
The Bass family was one of the
best known among the pioneers of
western Montana and the old ranch,
the Pine Grove Fruit farm, as it was
known for years, was one of the
earliest commercial orchard proper
ties in the valley, being established in
the late COS. The family lived on
the ranch until about 10 or 13 years
ago when the ranch was disposed of
and the home established in Stevens
Vile.

MEMORIES OF A.E.F.
THRONC PARIS

This is how France looks in 1922
four years after the armistice:
No X. P. duty.
No leggings to roll.
No M. P.s to avoid.
No officers to salute.
No heavy pack to carry.
No inspections to stand.
i No censorship of letters.
No Officers only signs.
No reduced rates on railroads.
No souvenirs de France" to pur
chase.
No provost marshaTs regulations
to curse.
No pay day (unless you happen tc
have civilian job.
No reveille to disturb your morn
ing slumbers.
| No soldiers mail'' as substitute
for postage stamps.
No mess line three times per day.
(You pay for your own now.)
No need to go A. w. o. L., for
nothing is out of bounds, and you
are as free as a general on leave.
No stolen railroad rides. They
pree" doesn't work any longer.
No free distribution of tobacco.
(You either smoke French cigarettes,
do without, or pay exorbitant prices.
Paris has lost some of its lure, for
it is no longer out of bounds. Al
though it is just as thrilling, care
killing as ever, you don't get exactly
the same kick out of being in Paris.
You're not putting anything over on
any mans army, as in 1918-1919.
You feel as Eve must have felt had
she been told to eat all the apples
she wanted. Nothing is forbidden in
Paris today.
Gabrielle still serves wine in the
Cafe de la Republique, but she has
forgotten all the doughboy English
she ever knew, and you must con-
verse in French. And Suzanne's
home is no longer an estaminet, for
there are no more soldats Americans
in her village.
Occasionally, you meet an Ameri-
can officer in Paris, attached to the
embassy, or the graves registration
service, or on leave from Coblenz
But you're not in the army now, and
you let the shavetail or colonel pass

You may not have popped the ques
ton; you may only have held Mar
guerite's hand for a minute or two
and kissed her goodbye as you march
ed away to America and home, but
she, somehow, thinks that kiss was
a promise of marriage. What you
think about 1t may be different
matter. I know one veteran (not
myself, honor bright, who returned
to France, and no less than three diff
ferent girls thought he had come to
marry them. His real purpose was
to marry a fourth. Of course, he
was thirty-second degree philander-
er. Many French girls, however,
have bowed gracefully to the newt
able and are reconciled to their I'M
married fate.
And our juvenile sweethearts-6,
8 and 10 years old-still remain, but
they have forgotten the English they
once knew, and they beg no more for
"chin-chin gum" and pennies.
But if you doubt that there was
once an A. E. F., go to the photo
graph galleries, all we unbelievers,
and behold the shavetail set forth in
all his glories. He still mounts
guard in half dozen photographers
shops in the Rue Sainte Catherine,
Bordeaux, and elsewhere. Nine.
Raymonde still holds out in the
photograph shop above the old
Knights of Columbus headquarters
In Bordeaux.
The A. E. F. may be dead and gone
but its bully beef goes marching on
And the famous goldfish takes his
daily swim down the alimentary
canal of the French people. Both
we're part of "le stock American, ~
taken over by the French government
and then sold to the natives. And
they want to serve the returned vet
sran with bully beef and salmon be-
cause they believe he likes it.

well developed about 30,000,00O fee
a day.
Shaughnessy did not want gas
he was after oil-so he turned the
field over to Coste, who went to
London, where he obtained sufficient
financial backing to put In a pipe
| line from the wells to Lethbridge
and Calgary for the supplying OF
those cities and about Is informed
| late towns. About s4,OOO,0O0 was
expended in this undertaking and gas
was delivered in Calgary at 30 cents
1000 feet for domestic use. Mr..
Coste has developed four or five mag
nificent gas fields.
Right south of Billings and almost
directly opposite the Bow Island field
is the Byron gas field of Wyoming,
about rs miles south of the Montana
line. This is a more prolific field
even than the Bow Island, one of its
wells at flush production giving up
100, 900, 900 feet of gas per day. No
use is being made of this immense
reservoir of gas other than that one
we'll was purchased for the Lowell
suger beet people for the providing
of fuel for their refinery.
Billings is now being supplied with
gas from the Elk Basin field, which
is about 40 miles north of the Byron
field on the Montana side of the line.
In the extreme eastern part of the
state the towns of Glendive and
Baker are being supplied with nat
ural gas from the same anticline,
while the city of Havre has been
using natural gas for number of
years and gas is being used on a
small scale in various parts of the
state, having been found in shallow
wells sunk for other purposes. One
instance of the latter is that of a
farmer near Kremlin, just west of
Havre, who was drilling for water
and found ample gas to heat his resi-
dence and farm buildings. He even
piped it into his hen house and learn
ed that by thus heating the coop he
obtained more eggs in the winter
than in the warmer weather.
However, all this country lies be-
tween the Byron and the Bow Island |
fields, two of the biggest gas fields |
in the United States and Canada,
which makes it reasonable to expect
that similar fields may be developed |
in this section of the state. 1t is very |
possible that there is some connec-
ton between the Ohio-Berg No. 1
we'll, near Shelby, and the immense
pool of gas which Engineer Coste
said existed between Great Falls and
he Canadian line.

list is Not Catering to Con-
sumers' Likes.

Is the tendency at present to under
estimate the value of larger sizes in
fruits? Recently an apple grower. in
talking about prices he received for
his last seasons crop, stated that a
carload of his Rome Beauties which
sold on the New York market on a
certain day brought 1928 per box
for part of the car and $3.75 per box
for the remainder.
The only difference between the ap-
plies in the two lots was in the size
Those that sold for S5.25 packed 50 to
the box while those which sold for
1918 packed 96.
This difference Of $3.50 per box in
dlcates that. perhaps. we are placing
too little stress, nowadays, on the
necessity for securing large sizes.
at one time in the history Of the
fruit business much emphasis was
placed on size The larger apple,
peach or pear, was given preference
over the small at all fairs and exhi-
billions Now the idea of displaying
large fruit is discouraged and many
an exhibitor fails to secure a premium
because the judges consider that his
fruit is oversize.
