Here Macmillan, Prince of Weld
enjoying a season of adventure in
America, spent the summer of 1888
as guest of the American Fur COM
pany. He was a scion of a small
house from Coblenz in Rhenish Prus-
STA, with an early bent for natural
history and a love of the worlds
frontiers. He had heard of the vic
tory of Waterloo while in the interior
of Brazil. He was at the battles of
Chalons and Jena and the songs OF
the Assinniboines at Fort Mckenzie
at the siege of that post hereafter
noted recalled to him the songs of
the Russian soldiers on those fields
nearly 20 years previous. He kept
a journal of his experiences which he
published on his return home and 1t
was profusely illustrated with pic
lures by Rodmar, an artist who ac-
companied him.
Indian Battle
August %, 1888, a small band of
Blackfeet camped near the fort were
attacked by large force of ASSN
n1boines and many of them were
killed. At first it was thought that
both tribes had attacked the fort and
the prince armed himself and is said
to have made one good Indian before
the mistake was discovered. The
Blackfeet received reinforcements
and the Assinniboines retired across
the Marias to the bluffs near the Mis-
souri,, where the fight continued with
varying success until night. One of
the realistic pictures of Rodmar in
the published journal of Macmillan
represents this event.

EARLY DAYS ON THE UPPER MISSOURI;
WHEN THE AMERICAN FUR COMPANY GAME
(By j. II. Sanders.)

The confluence of the Missouri and
Marias rivers near Fort Benton is
historic and bloody ground and has
seen some of the tragedies OF our
Indian history during the past CEN
fury. Later it was the site selected
by some of our pioneers and cap
tains of industry, where it was hoped
and expected to found city, met
ropolis, the head of navigation on
the longest water course in the world,
by men who had no suspicion that a
railroad would supercede its COM
merce.
The general course of the Missouri
at this point is northeast, but be-
tween there and Fort Benton it
makes several big bends, and des-
cribes the three sides of a square to
the southeast, below which the Mar
las, its largest tributary on the north
except the Milk river, comes in from
the west. The Teton river, also flow
ing from the west, approaches big
bend in the Missouri and cuts across
the neck of the valley surrounded by
the Missouri and enters the Marias
mile or so above its mouth.
American Fur Company
In 1880 the American Fur COM
pany, whose outpost among the In
dams was Fort Union at the mouth
of the Yellowstone, determined to
enter the Blackfoot country and con-
tend with the Hudson Bay company
for the trade of this region,
In September, 1881, James Kipp
was sent with keel boat loaded with
goods and force of about rs men
to the mouth of the Marias river, |
where he built Fort Piegan, named
for tribe of Indians of the Black |
feet confederation. This post was
found to be unfavorably located, the
surrounding bluffs making it parti-
cularly vulnerable to attack from the |
Indians, most of whom in that sec
ton were hostile to the whites, and |
the next year it was abandoned and |
Fort Mckenzie was built six miles
further up the Marias, and about five
miles below the Cracon Dunes, which
IS in sight of Fort Benton, where
he Teton so closely approaches the

Major Chittenden, one of our great
who wildly portrayed the
history of the fur trade of the west,
Ind also the navigation of the Mis-
ouri river, says that the history of
Fort Mckenzie had more of excite

but was unable to proceed to Fort
Benton, LIS miles beyond. 1t was not
until the next year that Fort Benton
first saw steamboat when the Chip
pewa and the Key West arrived at
that place on the second day of July,
1876 miles from the mouth of the
Mississippi. In 1861 the Chippewa
was bound for Fort Benton with con-
signments of powder and alcohol on
board, the two got mixed with
candle carried by thirsty deckhand
and the result was that the boat blew
up. Packages were said to have been
found three miles from the scene of
the disaster, afterwards known as

Owing to the fact that cemen
concrete is being extensively uset
on the farm and the further fac
that the quality of concrete il
affected SO largely by the kind o
sand and gravel (aggregates) used
this question, What are good aggre
gates for concrete?" was asked an en-
gineer who has had many years Of
experience in concrete work The
| following was his answer: When
ever concrete construction is consid
cred we naturally think of something
permanent; this permanence depends
as much on the cleanliness of the
sand and gravel (aggregates) as il
does on the structural soundness OF
the particles. There have been more
failures in concrete resulting from
the use of dirty sand and gravel
than there have been from the use OF
unsound particles.
What is meant by dirty sand and
gravel? Sand and gravel that con-
tain loan, clay, silt or vegetable mat
ter. The presence of the first three
may be easily detected by putting a
small quantity of the sand and gravel
to be tested into a glass container
and adding clear water until there is
an excess of two or three inches
then shake or stir we'll and allow to
stand for fifteen to thirty seconds I;
if the water is muddy or very badly
discolored the materials should not
be used until they have been
washed.
There are several methods by
which the washing may be done.
Where comparatively small amount
of aggregate is to be used the wash
ing may be accomplished by con-
structing a box or flume and plac-
ing the aggregates in it and passing
a stream of water over them at the
same time agitating the aggregates
thoroughly; this will allow the inn
purities to be floated off, since they
are nearly all lighter than the sand
particles.
After the washing has been done
test should be made to discover the
presence of organic impurities. This
test is easily and simply made, by
purchasing at any drug store twelve
(12) ounce graduated prescription
bottle and six ounce bottle of three
percent solution of sodium hydroxide.
Fill the IL ounce bottle up to the
four and one-half ounce mark with
the sand to be tested, then add
enough of the three percent sodium
hydroxide solution so that after
shaking there will be seven ounces.
Shake thoroughly and let stand for
"a hours. The liquid should then
show colorless, or at most not darker
than straw color. A color darker
than straw indicates the presence of
impurities that are injurious and the
materials should not be used.
1t should always be remembered
that, If the work is well done follow
ing few simple rules, the life of
