had crept out from the Purple Hills
across the Green Meadows that Peter
Rabbit took it into his head to visit
the Smiling Pool. 1t was raining, but
Peter didn't mind that. 1t was sew
eral days since Peter had been over
there and he wanted to get all the
latest news. He was in something Of
g. hurry. and the result was that as
he ran, lippertylipperty-lp, he al.
most bumped into some one. Just in
time ne saw some one Just ahead Of
hin. and jumped over his head. AS
soon as he could he stopped and
turned
His first thought was that it was
his old friend Old Mr.. Toad. Ger
talnly in the dusk it looked very much
like him. But Peter had left Old
Mr.. Toad in the Smiling Pool and he
knew that Old Mr.. Toad was in the
habit of staying there a long time.
Besides, he could hear Old Mr.. Toad's
voice over in the Smiling Pool that
very minute.
But this was Toad. There couldn't
be any doubt about it. sit must be

Just then the stranger started to
pass him. He paid no attention to
Peter, but hoped along in funny
little short hops, quite as if he didn't
see Peter at all. He passed so close
that Peter had a good look at him
Peter blinked. There was something
very odd about the stranger. At
first Peter couldn't think what it was,
but after second good look he un-
derstood. The stranger was not so
covered with warts as is old Mr..
Toad. In fact, he was comparatively
smooth. His head was even wider
than Old Mr.. Toad's and his eyes
popped out a little further, if any
thing.
"Why. Whyee!" exclaimed Peter.
You aren't Old Mr.. Toad at ALI"
The stranger stopped abruptly.

Peter had to admit that the stran-

string to Spread the Idea

Ncstmcnt. Aid Workers
To Receive 1000 Due
Only Approval Of Court Is
Now Required TO Begin
Payment of All Accounts

Because Of the desire of group Of
philosophical New York bankers to
uphold the good name Of thrift and to
encourage savings bank deposits rather
than investments in uncertain securi-
tics none of the ! 900 men and women,
majority Of them working people,
who were thought to have lost from
80 to 90 per cent. Of their savings in
the National Thrift Bond Corporation
crash last August, will lose dollar, it
WAS announced yesterday.
BY the terms of voluminous and
complex contract signed by all the in
tcrested parties, and which now needs
only court approval 70 put it in effect,
the Greater New York Savings Bank.
Of 42l Fifth Avenue. Brooklyn, has
agreed TO pay the face value of every
thrift bond. certificate and receipt
issued by the corporation, which may
be presented at the bank during a
period Of six months following publi-
cation Of payment notice by the State
Banking Department, expected TO be
about June Is.
Bank to Bear Deficit
Although this is to be made possible
by further clauses in the agreement
providing for the sale by the Equitable
Trust Company Of the government and
municipal bonds underlying the bond
corporation paper, there nevertheless
will be deficit, estimated at some
what in excess Of $4,000, This i. to be
borne by the greater New York SAY
lngs Bank, which became interested in
the situation solely through public
spirited motives; the Bank Of the
Manhattan Company and the directors
Of the thrift bond corporation.
The savings bank became interested
in the matter as result of the action
Of Samuel Rauch, special deputy bank
ing superintendent, in bringing The
situation to the attention of Charles
j. Obermayer. president Of the insti-
tuition, who has devoted his life to
spreading the gospel Of thrift among
working people.
VIII Continue the Plan
decision Of the bank to take such
part IN the matter was due to its de.
sire to protect tho good name Of thrift,
and to teach workers that the safest in
vestment for their money is to deposit
1t In savings banks. no matter how at
tractive many other investments NAV
appear said Mr.. Obcrmayer yesterday
One clause in the contract provides
FOR continuation of the "protected
thrift plan" originated by the bond
corporation. whereby such subscribers
as may desire to do 80 can continue
their installment payments, receiving
IN full the amount contemplated BY the
plan at the end of the fve-yea period
agreed upon.

Freighing With Bull the Early Days Of the West


year, July 8, 1860, that the frs
two boats, the Chippewa and The
Key West, reached the fort, having
on board six companies of Uniteo
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
ltains.
Carroll used to give a 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 imrne-
diately by the discovery of gold in
Montana and the consequent rush
of emigration, it changed the whole
order of things at the post. 1t was
the beginning of that period of a
quarter of 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 had
been established three years pre-
viously by two Missouri river
steamboat captains, John J. Roe
and Nicholas Wall, to carry freight
between Fort Benton and the gold
camps of Montana and Idaho.
The new business soon assumed
proportions and repres-
ented heavy investment, for
freighting by contract and other
wise was engaged IN between all
points in the Northwest, as we'll as
between Fort Benton and trading
POSTS in Canada and as far south
IS Utah. At that time its brand, :
of a diamond with an R
n the center, was the best known

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 conpan-
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
But many teams were
delayed or stopped in the drifts,
and cattle and mules died on the
rail. The company lost heavily |
md only recouped after several
profitable years.
In the late 7O's the advent of the
Northern Pacific and other rail 4
Dad building broke up the freight
ng business and the partners dis
olved the Diamond r.
Life on the freight trails was

! 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, al
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 supplant
Fort Benton as the river traffic
terminal, and they expected a city
to grow there. Maclay, who be-
came well known in St. Louis,
Sioux City and other shipping
points down the river, spent part
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 Benton
suffered considerably from the
competition for a couple of years,
out due to the fact that the road |
rom Carroll to the gold camps in
western Montana led through the
Judith Basin, which was the heart |
# the hostile Indian country, and
he constant attacks on wagon
rains on that route, and bad roads,
he success of the town was grad
ally impaired, and toward the late
0s Carroll became less and less
