BLAINE LEADS in POULTRY

| (Montana State College, Bozeman)
With reputation as the leading
county of Montana in raising of pure
bred swine, the farmers of Blaine
county now are out to annex the
first honors in poultry growing, ac-
cording to work from that county.
Recently a number of farmers and
poultrymen of the county met at
Chinook and formed a permanent
poultry association. The association
will hold paultry show in Novem-
Der in connection with the North
Montana Corn Show at Chinook
1t is expected that 1000 or more
birds will be exhibited at the Blaine
county show this winter, fact which
would make it one of the important
poultry shows of the state. Prom
inent poultry breeders of the north
west have written that they will ex-
hibit at the Chinook show in No
vember.
To F. M. Burke, vice president of
the Farmers bank at Chinook, goes
much of the credit for increasing in
terest in poultry raising in Blaine
county. Mr.. Burke, working with
County Agent Gustafson, purchased
1900 eggs of the best R. C. r. l.
strain and distributed them to the
farmers. Two pu1lets from each set
ting are to be auctioned off at the
poultry show, the proceeds to go to
Mr.. Burke to help pay the cost of
the eggs.

poultry growers, while F. A. Grace is
George Gustafson, county
agent, is one of the hackers of the |
poultry association movement and |

time. He and talked bit of the old
days in the Philippines and finally
reached the frameup of M Company's
flag. The frameup involved taking
away the flag from the regimental Of
ficers and its possible burial for
keeps in cement lined room at
Helena.
Schippman was cautious, yet sin
cere. In time he said: What be-
came of the slip of paper upon which
you wrote the destiny of M Com
pany's flag l admitted ignorance. He
then said: Would you be able to
recall the words if confronted with
them?"
He then passed me the slip of paper
with it's heart throbs, and though
pressed for a price, he said it was not
for sale. He finally refused to accept
$50 in currency for the mere piece of
paper.

How different it is today do
not care to reflect; I merely wish to
tell the story of M Company's flag.

HUNTS FOR FIRST
POST in MONTANA
DAVID THOMPSON BUILT FIRST
HOUSE OVER CENTURY AGO
NEAR THOMPSON FALLS
Flag OF Hudson's Bay Company F1ut-
tered From 1t; Thompson Called it
Saieesh House; How He Might
Have Changed Map of North.

After several years of research
In the history of Montana, j. III. Il.
Ryman, a banker of MissouIa, will
next month endeavor to find the
site of the first white mans house
In the area which is now Montana.
The residence, "SaIeesh House,
was that of David Thompson, who,
as a fur trader, established the
post la years ago in what is now
the Bitter Root valley of western
Montana 1t was built of logs,
according to descriptions which Mr..
Ryman has found, but was only
trading post, and not a fort design
ed to withstand attack by the Ind
ians, who were friendly.
The site, as definitely as Mr.. Ry-
man has been able to ascertain, was
a few miles east of the present town
of Thompson Falls.
Definite location of the site of the
old "Saleesh House" will be con-
tribution to the history of the whole
northwest, historians state.
David Thompson, homeless boy
in London, was inmate of an orphan
home from the time he was until
he was IA, when he was bound out"
to the Hudson Bay company and sent
across the Atlantic. He worked for
both the Hudson Bay company and
the Northwest company, the two big
English fur trading corporations of
the early days in North America For
them he penetrated the prairie re-
gions to what is now known as Sas-
katchewan and Montana, and even
farther west.
Thompson Spurned Aston
One of young Thompson's COM
panions taught him sufficient mathe-
mates to enable him to determine
and longitude with the sim
pie instruments which the fur trader
explorers of 120 years ago could carry
with them.
When in 1909, John Jacob Aston,
New York merchant, determined to
send a party by ship around Cape
Horn to establish a fur trading post
at the mouth of the Columbia river,
be sent representatives to Quebec and
the Great Lakes to secure employees
Of the Hudson Bay and Northwest
who knew something of
the country in the direction of the
Pacific coast.
David Thompson, who had already
established "Saleesh house." was one

Team
Demonstrations

Large team demonstrations, which
played a large part in the success OF
the triangle demonstration train this
spring, are to be continued in six OF
the northern Montana counties in
June. according to M. L. Wilson OF
the State college extension service,
who is making plans for the county
demonstrations.
Dates for these demonstrations
will be:
June 9-Roosevelt county.
June IL and 12-Sheridan county.
June 10 and 14-Daniels county.
June Is and 16-Valley county.
June IS and 19-Phillips county.
June 20-Blaine county.
MANY things of interest concern
ing the handling of large teams will
be shown in these demonstrations
Some of these points will be: meth
DDS of tying two gang plows together
making a 4-bottom load for IL
horses; putting two or three
drills together; method of using the
aeroplane hitch; the Harrington
hitch; block and tackle, chain and
pulley hitch; Gilchrist equipment;
Mailman hitch; how to couple togeth-
er wagons and eight-horse load for
the Hallman hitch.
J. ]. Peek, expert driver of large
teams, will be on these county DEM
onstration trips. Mr.. Peek directed
the demonstration with large teams
on the triangle" tour his spring and
was instrumental in putting over"
the large team idea with hundreds of
north Montana farmers. An agricul-
tural engineer who is acquainted with
the mechanics of hitching large
teams and pulling large field loads,
also will be on the trip to go into
the details of the work.
Since the tour of the dry farm
success train in North Montana last
spring there has been growing inter-
est in the handling of large teams.
Requests for information are coming
daily to the State College at Boze-
man. A bulletin covering the subject
is being published and the demon
strations in North Montana counties
will supplement this bulletin.
County agents in each of the above
counties have charge of all local ar
engagements. Demonstrations will be
held in the country, choosing the
communities most accessible.

CAMPAIGN IN ARIZONA
FOR USE OF LOCAL FLOUR

The use of flour made from locally
grown wheat is being urged in a num-
ber of States according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Unnecessary transportation is involv-
ed to export the local wheat, which
in many cases is a soft wheat, and
to import hard winter wheat Com
mercial baking methods, being adapt
ed chiefly to hard-wheat fOurs, have
caused much Of this double hauling.
In Arizona campaign was started
last summer aided by extension wor-
kers, to interest housewives and bak-
ers in the use of -four made from
wheat grown in Arizona. Home de-
monstration agents took up the work
of promoting the use of Arizona -four
and combined with it campaign for
using whole wheat flour.
AS result, 80 housewives have
been actively engaged in carrying on
demonstrations in the use Of Arizona
-four. Four loaves of bread made
from this -four were exhibited at the
CTchise County Fair. one loaf taking
the second prize in competition with
bread made from northern hard
wheat -four. A very creditable ex-
hibit of loaves made from Arizona
-four was collected by the agents for
the State Fair and exhibited there.
This exhibit represented loaves made
by housewives in Cochise, Maricopa,
Pinal Yavapai, and Santa Cruz
Counties.

Phoenix, last Friday and Saturday

selected on the All State second team.
While Tempe Normal copied State
honors, it was the unanimous opinion
of the judges that the LumberJacks
were second in choice, for our boys,
in spite of the bad breaks and diff
ficulties encountered, displayed a
brand of basket ball that was spec
tacle to behold.
Friday evening they bowed to Phoe-
nix Junior College by a close score
of 26 to 49, The score at the half
way mark stood IA to IA. The Bears
realized at the start that they were
in a critical game and had to eXpend
everything they possessed in the way
of Stamina to romp house on the long
END of the count.
Saturday afternoon, the Lumber
jack crew took on Tempe Normal and
came out on the short end by score
of AZ to 49, Four hours later they

THE ARIZONA SOLONS
DON'T BELIEVE HOOVER
Statement Of Secretary Hoover, Chair
man of Colorado River Commission,
Made Immediately After Signing OF
Compact.

The big thing about the Colorado
River compact is that it breaks the
blockade Oh Development of the whole
river 1t allows us all to get ahead
with river development and with flood
protection.
The worst thing about the compact
is that it will destroy much oratory.
1t makes for growing spuds and not
for glowing speech.
One can get great emotion over
conflict and quarrel, but there is no
great oratory about the fact that the
northern basin is separated from the
southern basin by thousand miles
of barren canyon; that the agricul-
ture and economic life of the two
basins are wholly different, and that
the ogical thing is to divide the water
between them SO they can make
homes instead of defend injunctions.
Nor can one make great oratory
out of the fact that there is ample
water and to spare after the appor-
tionment of enough water to each
basin in perpetuity to cover all of
the present uses plus all of the known
feasible projects, plus 20 per cent
reserve 20 per cent for 40 years to
see where it is most needed, There
is nothing sensational about a COM
pact that leaves all question of Mex
ican rights to water to the State De-
partment, which is the only organ of
the American people which has any
right to deal with it. There is moth
ing especially romatic about the pro-
visions in the compact for complete
priority of agriculture over power
forever in the use of water of this
river.
Yet, behind all the precise and COM
monplace language Of this compact
lies the greatness and romance of the
West, the building of million more
homes out under the blue sky is Sc
curity and good will.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

There has been a change in the
vention of the Legion, which will be
held this summer, the place was
changed from Grand Canyon to Flag
staff and the tentative date agreed
upon is June 3-4 and 5. There is
keen disappointment over the change
however, it is thought that Northern
Arizona will do itself proud to make
the convention just what it should
be. The present estimate for visit
ors runs as high as one thousand, of
course this includes the families of
the Legionnairs as we'll as other Wis
itors. Commander Lieberman and W.
J. Meador of the Winslow Post con-
ferred with representatives of the
Flagstaff post and civic organizations
and they mutually agreed to boost

slow and Flagstaff posts and auxil-
liaries at which time complete plans
will be formulated There will be a

The regular meeting of the City
Council was held on Tuesday evening
but was evidently somewhat irregul-
ar in the attendance and interest
manifested on the part of the citi-
zenS, for the council chamber was
not only crowded and jammed, but
the anteroon clear out to the hallway
was also filed to overfowing with at
tentive listeners. One of the preach
ers who stood on the outskirts of the
crowd, because there was nowhere
else for him to stand when he arriv-
ed, said if he could only have crowd
like that at his prayer-meetings and
they were just as anxious to talk he
would certainly be happy.
But the honorable Mayor did not
seem to enjoy particularly this ma
nifestatiOn of interest on the part of
the protesting citizens and seemed
to be peeved just a little that they
were so insistent on being heard with
regard to something they din't want.
1t seemed to rile him little when
two or three of the ladies wanted to
talk at once, and especially when
they wa1 ted to Interrupt one Of TIE
gentlemen who had the floor. He
even threatened to call an officer to
clear the room of the disturbers if
they did not come to order. But in
justification of the Mayor it must be
said that it was very annoying to
have the objectors breaking in at all
times out of order, and that on the
whole he controlled the situation as
anyone have done under the condi-
tions.
The main topic before the council
and the thing that called out the
protesting crowd of citizens, was the
paving proposition which, it seems,
the professors expected would be
settled at this meeting. Those who
had circulated the petitions of pro-
test were there to defend their petit
tions and had secured the County
Attorney, Mr.. Larson, to represen
them. 1t seems there was some dis
pute as to the time the petition of
protest was filed with the council,
the Mayor holding that it was not IN
the hands of the council when the
time limit for protesting expired, and
the professors claiming that they had
found the city hall locked and had
put the petition in the Post Office
addressed to the city clerk. The
County Attorney spoke on behalf of
the protesting citizens, and the cir
culators of the petition, Mrs. Ram
mage and Mrs Shafer also spoke on
behalf of the petition, explaining the
difficulty they had had in trying to
get it into the hands of the council.
Attorney Jordon made a brief talk
as to the law on the subject saying
that all this talk in the council meet
ing would not change the situation,
4kO,,a 1~e Infn iz0cr
the situation in accordance with the
law. The Mayor also said that the
council had competent legal guidance
in their city attorney, and that the
council would be governed by the adj
vice of it's attorney, and that as soon
as the legal phases of the petition
could be investigated they would be
in a position to say what would be
the next step to take. The Mayor
and councilmen seemed to feel that
the protesting citizens thought they
were trying to put one over on them
and push the paving proposition
