BERKlN IS DEAN
STATE PIONEERS
OBSERVED HIS NINETY-SEVENTH
BIRTHDAY IN BUTTE A
FEW DAYS AGO

ONTANA'S Oldest trail blazer,
lA William Berkin, was recently
49, guest at a party given in bis
honor at his home at the Orphan
Girl mine, the occasion being his
ninety-seventh birthday. Present
at the reception were many of his
O1d-time friends from out OF town.
His son, John Berkin of Butte, and
his oldest child, Mrs. Kenneth Nc
Kenzie OF Anaconda, also attended.
1t was after crossing the plains
in "a that Mr.. Berkin arrived at
Fort Benton, then scarcely more
than an outpost of civilization.
Here it was that Indians and
whites alike gathered to barter
their goods, while Uncle Sam, rep
resented by a detachment of SOL
diers, kept his watchful eye on the
whole procedure.
To Mr.. Berkin belongs the distinc-
ton of having guided the first mule
pack team loaded with supplies from
Fort Benton to Virginia City, the lat
ter then being little more than a
typical mining camp with gold in
abundance to lend a spirit of ex-

Game Birds Destroy Crop Pests

Farmers near Froid + already
taking steps to protect grouse and
prairie chicken from slaughter by
hunters when the eason again opens
next fall.
The birds have again become quite
plentiful since the closed season
went into effect although poachers
have been active during the past
falls in sneaking out and cleaning
UP a few coveys during the early
morning hours. Several farmers are
already posting signs prohibiting
hunting on their land.
If farmers do as they are now in
tending to do, the chances for tooth
some young chicken next fall will be
exceedingly slim.
It is said large flocks of grouse
have done much in exterminating
bugs and grasshoppers and for this
reason if no other, farmers do not
care to have the birds molested.

FOOD MANUFACTURERS
LAUNCH NATIONAL DRIVE
FOR NEW RECIPE,

Over $500 to be Paid for the Best
Recipes Received
A nationwide campaign, which
will give every housewife in America
a chance to prove her inventive abil-
ity in the culinary field, will be
launched May LIST by the Postum
Cereal Co. Inc, of Battle Creek,
Michigan, manufacturer of Grape
Nuts.
Grocers are being supplied with
circulars, for free distribution over
their counters, giving full particulars
of the plan which is expected to re-
veal not less than one hundred new
uses for Grape-Nuts.
For more than Is years, Grape
Nuts has been sold and advertised
as a cereal food. But interesting
letters from women in all parts of
the country, describing the many at
tractive dishes they are making with
Grape-Nuts, have convinced the man
ufacturers that a national drive for
new uses of Grape-Nuts should de-
velop a host of valuable suggestions,
which will be warmly welcomed by
busy housewives everywhere.
Not less than 101 recipes or sug-
gestions will be purchased at $50
each and $500 additional, divided
into four awards of $1,000, $3.50, and
$3.50, respectively, will be paid for
the four best recipes or suggestions
Good Housekeeping Mag
azine will decide the four recipes or
suggestions entitled to these special
awards.
The conditions, as explained in
newspaper advertising and circulars
in hands of g%rocers, are simple and
easily complied with.

out of Fort Benton it was also under
the guidance of Mr.. Berkin, who dir
ected the building of a road as the
prairie schooner advanced. John j.
Rowe & Co. of St. Louis furnished
the bull team outfit and Nicholas
Wall of St. Louis was Mr.. Berkin's
partner in the freighting venture.
Mr.. Berkin continued at various
occupations in the new territory I'M
til 1866, when he accepted a job as
a skinner for the Diamond R freight
outfit, one of the largest in the west.
For four years he followed freight
ing. In 1870 he quit and again
struck out for himself. For some
years he followed prospecting with
varied results and then he went into
the cattle business. In this he did
fairly well, but never lost his love
for the mining game, an occupation
in which he delved until advancing
age compelled him to retire. He and
his partner, Nicholas Wall, located
the Mountain Chief mine.
Of the outfit that freighted for the
Diamond R, however, he is perhaps
the only mule skinner left to tell
of the difficulties that accompanied
the transportation of supplies across
the country in those days.

India and the Texas longhorn, are
chasing gophers about the range and
getting in shape for a strenuous
three days of bulldogging. The
Brahmas are lighter than the Texas
steers, but are quicker and provide
better sport for bulldogging. More
than fifty head of Texas steers will
be used in the steer riding contests

had little to do with the shaping of

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots;
How to Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
1t will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while If it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beau
tiful complexion. Rarely is more than
u ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.

It's the sidelights that make the
roundup the most popular form OF
summer entertainment in the coun-
try. And they are so varied and
quickly changing that one has to
keep the mind working fast to catch
all that goes on. The riding and
roping are interesting, but it is the
action of the contestants and the con-
slant expectation of the unexpected
that intrigues the fancy and keeps
the visitors on the edge of the seats.
