Mr.. Ippi and Miss Ouri.

Out of his adenoidal throat there
issued song that had to do with
the love affairs of Mr.. Ippi. If Mr.
Ippi should be successful in his
ardent quest for the hand of Miss
OuTi would the object of the gentle
mans affections become Mrs. Ippi?
The song vouchsafed no direct
answer to the cenundrum. 1t was
clear that Willie did not consider the
omission a matter of serious import.
In fact the chorus indicated that the
entire procedure was successful and
conventional:
Here comes the bride. Here comes
the bride
Down to the altar at Mr.. Ippi's side"
Willie Capser was quite frank
about it. He had borrowed a couple
of bars from a well known bridal
chorus.
But look demanded Willie,

Bridger suggested a way through
Antelope Pass, Laramie Plains and
the Green River country. He pick
ed up a piece of old straw paper
and, with a blunted pencil, drew
rough sketch of pass through
the mountains. This was kept by
the editor for great many years.
The Union Pacific followed that
very route. General Zebulon Pike
discovered a tremendous mountain
and for his honor they called it Pixies
Peak. But Pixies Peak is barrier.
Jim Bridger found a road all the way
to the Great Salt Lake. No barrier
ever interested this old settler; he
was pathfinder. Any man with a

Of the thousands who go to Mount

bound or bent upon discovery, few
halt as they pass gray granite
boulder monument on the main road
running north and south, at the little

name:
JAMES BRIDGER
1904 1881
The Union Pacific railroad has the
name on it's founders registry. Few
men have mightier monuments than
this same James Bridger. 1t would
be gliding gold to amplify the legend
cut deep in that everlasting stone,
cut there by order of one of the
greatest railroad builders who ever
surveyed a horizon, Gen. Granville
M. Dodge. For James Bridger never
stepped one foot before the other
that he was not pioneering in the
granary of the world, the west that
feeds the flocks and the herds of the
land, says the Kansas City Star.
James Bridger was buried in Kan
sas City's cemetery because James
Bridger'S home was in Kansas City.
1t can be seen today, if one cares to
look to the left just after climbing
the hill from the new-old grist mill

ing out. / reckon she slept in the
house, but if ever we wanted her We
had to go out into the timber, down
by the creek and boiler for her She
was an Indian, all right"
What became of herr"
Nobody ever knew. Leastwise
was simple"
This woman" is worth telling
about. Bridger was captured by some
Indians for fist fight with one of
the band after a truce. Being then
IS or 20 years old he was a good
looking chap. An Indian girl liked
him, slipped into his tent the night
of his capture and cut his thongs,
thus freeing him. Jim made his es-
cape under cover of the night and
that summer found the girl and mar
ried her. He never had any other
wife. That is she whom Mr. Moore
says was Jim Bridger's woman"
who would not stay around the
house when Jim was away.
In serial recently completed in
the Saturday Evening Post, THE
Covered Wagon" this and one other
squaw are referred to and Jim is por-
trayed as drinking man. In one
chapter he and another scout have
a drinking bout, which they wind up
with a shooting match. Each aims
at an object upon his friends barred
head The work is neat
Jim was an accurate shot, all
right says Mr.. Holmes, but we
never knew him to drink We had
sol nd oil drf,, Il
train could carry. The Indians |
were paid off here, and that brought |
in liquor by the cisternful. Jim |
would hang around, and once in a |
while he would take a nip, but that |
was all He played poker mostly
and I know myself he played good |
game" the old blacksmith laughing
ly recounts.
Remembers When Jim" Died
According to the Times of 1881,
Bridger died in his seventy-seventh
year on his farm near Little Santa
Fe, and was buried in a lot near
Martin City. Moore remembers the
day Jim died, but did not attend the
funeral What was the use of going
to Jim Bridger's funeral? He was
Just a trapper. But General Dodge's

cemetery, and official records say
that Pike and Fremont and Living
ston and Stanley and even Cecil
Rhodes did no such wonderful dis
,overy work. Anyhow, Moore did ,
not bother to ride north to the next
arm, where old Jim lay dead. He

Factors in Culture

The Powell county high school is
located here, and the public graded
schools rank with it among the best
of the state. St. Mary's academy is
also an important factor in the edu-
cational system. The cultural side
of the community is further emphas-
lied by the Beautiful Kohrs Memorial
library, and by the Woman's Club
house, one of the most artistic in the
west, and the headquarters of pro-
gressive and effective organization.
The homes of the city are charm
ing, many of them embodying in
unique architecture that blends with
sylvan surroundings the "lodge" mo-
tif in striking designs.
The main business street, an ex-
ceptionally wide thoroughfare, is
paved with concrete, and improved
on either side with substantial build
ings, with modern hotel located at
its intersection with the shaded street
that leads from the railroad stations
northward through a district of fine
residences.
In the allotment of various instf-
buttons after Montana was made
state, the penitentiary was located in
Deer Lodge, and great group of
buildings has sprung up in the east
ern part of the city, with massive
walls and battlements overlooking
the river and the valley. Executive
offices are in the building across the
street from the entrance, set amid
gigantic trees.
Railroad Center
Great impetus to the commercial
prosperity and Importance of Deer
Lodge was given by the building of
the c., M. & st. P. Puget Sound ex-
tension westward from Mobridge, S.
D., in the first decade of the new
century Here was located the prin-
cipal division point in the state, with
shops, storehouses and executive of
fees. 1t is the terminal for runs
in either direction of freight and
passenger crews, and has the largest
plant between the Twin |
Cities and Tacoma. The payroll of
the road in Deer Lodge is an import
ant factor in the growing commercial |
life of the community, and the inf1u-
ence in civic and fraterna1 growth |
has been notable.

Affectionately known in the early
days as 1.-THE Little Town on the Trail
to Bear" from the gold bearing
gulch for which the new city was the
entrepot, Deer Lodge was designed
as home community by its founders,
and one of the first steps toward the
identifying of the place was the
planting of trees which now line
shaded avenues and give lasting i'm
pressions of comfort and picturesque
vistas.
The environment of Deer Lodge is
ideal, with magnificent peaks along
the horizon, river flowing beside
the southern border, and thriving
valley extending toward the hills
with their innumerable streams flow
ing from upland lakes that are Access
sible for the devotees of outdoors
and their number is practically in
elusive of the entire population dur
ing the summer months.
Origin of Name
The original settlement on the site
bore the name of Cottonwood, and
Tic Tree WHICH gave LIE uduO rs SILL
prominent in the arbOriculture of the
community. The present name is
said by historians to be derived from
the hot spring now in the northern
part of Deer Lodge county, from |
which Silver Bow, Powell and Gran |
lite we're later carved. This hillock, |
with steam rising from the mound,
impressed the Indians as akin to their
own lodges, and the deer abundant
in it's vicinity suggested the name
Deer Lodge, which was adopted for
the new city when 1t was permanently
established by the pioneers from the
east, who sought in making it a COM
munity of real homes to follow the
lines of the places they had left. That
they have succeeded is amply attest
ed by the thriving county seat of
Powell, with its wide streets, well
kept lawns and towering trees.
Surrounding the city are large
ranches with grain and alfalfa as
the principal products. Stock raising
also plays an important part in the
prosperity of the farmers, and Deer
Lodge is the trading point for ex-
tensive districts, as well as for min
ers and prospectors in the adjacent
hills Il

BAPT|STSPURCHASF
 NAzARENE CHURCH

Negotiations by the congregation of the newly-organized Second Bap- list church of this city for the pur- chase of the building owned by the Nazarene church on Factory and Polk streets, East Conway, have been com- pleted, it was announced today, and the new owners will take possession Sunday. The new church has only a small number of members at present, but they are confident the membership will grow rapidly. Dr. Otto Whit ington, former pastor of the First Baptist church here, will conduct an evangelistic meeting in the Second Baptist church here next June.
 The Nazarene congregation has purchased lots on the west side of Grove street, between Scott street and College avenue, and plans at once to begin the erection of a new church building on these lots.
