BDDFORD's HOSPITALITY

bedford City. as we know, is sit
uated in mountainous district and
the weather throughout the entire
session was ideal and tho air from
the Peaks Of Otter was very refresh
ing and invigorating. Tho people Of
Bedford City really know how to
entertain Il convention, with their
many hospitable and palatial homes
making every one feel heartily well
come. The extreme hospitality shown
US by DR.. Pogue is very outstanding
and the many kindnesscs shown US
while there has endeared him to us
and We feel like calling him our own
DR.. Pogue. IIo is q rising physi-
clan Of whom not only tho people of
Bedford City, but the people OF the
race should be proud. To Rev.
Gray, pastor Of the Washington
Street Baptist Church, Bedford, We
also feel indebted. He opened the
doors OF his church to us and rem
dcred us many kindnesses. We hope
that he will extend us an invitation
to meet with him again.

PRESIDENT TYRDIL's ADDRESS
Our most honored and proficient
President, Mrs. l.. w. Tyrell gave q
very splendid address. She held the
audience sNellbound throughout the
entire discourse. Mrs. Tyrell, with
her sweet, gentle and loving dispo-
sition is endeared to all the women

she is second to none. She is in the
work soul, heart and mind, anu
with such leader how can It be
other than success.
Mrs. Tyrell addressed the conven-
ton on 'The Needs Of the Hour. :"
She emphasized the fact that this is
get-together period in the era Of
federation, the time for organization.
And that the foundation for all ef-
fective organization is laid In tho
HON. The needs OF the hour as
Mrs. Tyrell so clearly and forcibly
set before the convention in her adj
dress are: CD Proper home training
ca Better families for better organ.
izatiOns and this broader compass
brings us to consider CD That this
better and more far-reaching organ
ization for broader team work should
appeal to all Baptist in every part
Of the State. AS information for
some and encouragement TO all. ca
Our contributions to the needs Of
the hour since we have been Prcsi-
dent OF this great body. This re-
port was a splendid one and goes to
prove as we have said before, that
as a leader Mrs. Tyrell is second TO
none.

best job on record in saving the fell
low. He grabbed something in the
dust and the next moment found him
self riding on the back of gallop-
ing buffalo. He hung on. Up the
cliff he rode at pace that took his
breath away but he hung on. That
was the right thing to do and he did
1t well.
Up i'm the Air
AS the summit of the bluff was
reached the bison which the photo
grapher was riding swung under a
tree and the man grabbed limb and
swung off his mount. But he was
too tired and weak to swing himself
up, so he continued his hanging on
and remained suspended there among
the rushing bison. They banged his
legs and battered his shins, but the
limb of the tree held and he held
to it,
The herd was soon out of the way
under him and he dropped. His es-
cape, old-timers say, was miraculous.
The herd was not shipped to Can
ada until the following year when
success marked the roundup efforts,
after many exciting incidents.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1922-09-22


This herd includes 1000 bulls
which are not needed for herd pur-
poses and the department of parks
is considering slaughtering them this
fall and selling the carcasses in the
markets of Canada and the United
States. Pioneers used to consider
buffalo meat, especially the hump, a
great delicacy.
This report from Canada of the
growth of the Pablo herd there has
recalled to old-timers in Missoula a
thrilling incident which occurred a
few months prior to the delivery of
the Pablo herd to the Canadian gov
eminent.
First Roundup Fails
In the fall of 1908, Michael Pablo,
the owner of the herd, prepared to
make delivery of the bison. The cor
raj in which the buffalo were to be
herded prior to the drive to the rail-
way at Ravalli was supposed to be
bison-proof The most experienced
of all bison handlers had no idea that
one of the animals could get out of
the enclosure. The fence had been
constructed with the greatest care
and was strong enough in the esti-
nation of the reservation people to

minus the biggest herd of bison in
the world.
The shaggy brutes trotted through
the gate into the corral with an in
difference that should have aroused
the suspicion of the men who were
driving them. 1t was not according
to the obstinate nature of the beasts
to act that way.
But the herders took no thought
of anything but getting the bison
through that gate. That much they
did and did we'll; in the performance
they had the complete cooperation
of the bison, which were more than
eager to get into the corral. For they
could see across the enclosure an
easy avenue to liberty which was not
visible to the naked eye of the herder.
Dash at Cliff
There was a rumble of the heavy
mass getting into motion; the jog
trot of the bison quickened into
gallop like the response of a troop
of cavalry horses to bugle call, and
in cloud of dust the unwieldy
beasts charged across the enclosure,
straight at the high bluff, whose

feet.
The dust obscured the flight of the
beasts, but it hung over them like a
mantle and its movement marked the
course OF the quondam property OF
the dominion.
Straight toward the foot of the
bluff the herd charged and those who
were watching the movement expect
ed to see a mass of buffalo meat piled |
up at the foot Of the steep cliff. Again
they guessed wrong.
"Over the Top"
The herd rushed to the foot of the
bluff, all right, but it didn't stop |
here. 1t scaled the cliff as if the
steep wall was the easiest incline in
ne world. There was not a moment |

toned himself, selecting what he
thought was a good vantage point
from which to get pictures of the last
of the bison while they were yet on
American soil. His station was dir
ectly in the path of the onrushing
beasts, and he had not the skill of
climbing that was necessary to get
out of their way. All he could do
was to drop his camera and shut his
eyes. The shattered remains of the
camera marked the spot. The guard

of getting out, and they hiked.
Into the Corral
The fence was probably all right.
When the corral was planned 1T was
located against a bluff that was SO
steep it was thought to be an impas-
sable barrier to the bison. The fence
was built against this bluff, which
formed one side of the corral.
According to the plan the bison

swung the animals toward the corral
gate, and the scheme was pronounced
a complete success.
But the verdict was rendered too
soon. The bison, erstwhile lords of
the plains, had second thought COM
ing, and they took it. Likewise the
builders of the corral had another
guess. In few seconds, so few that
nobody quite realized what was hap

the original herd. Many calves were
born this year. Their exact number
is not yet known but it is estimated
at considerably more than 1000, so
it is believed the herd now numbers
more than 1000 head. This is said
to be three-fifths of all the bison left

tinent.
