trail should assist in preserving his
memory and keeping inviolate the
things for which he stood.
Stephen Mather, director of the
national park service, spoke briefly
of the national park system, and
talked feelingly of the enthusiastic
reception always accorded Eaton
when he appeared at the interior de-
partment at Washington.
Fasteners Speak
The occasion was given an added
national significance by the particle
patton of prominent fasteners. The
speakers included DR.. Alexander
Lyons, distinguished clergyman of
Brooklyn, who talked on the subject
THE Temple of Democracy" and
William Ebert, a prominent educa-
tor who discussed 1.-THE Howard
Eaton Trail as an Influence on Edu-
cation.'' These men were members
of the Brooklyn Teachers associa-
ton which were present and number
ed 90.
Colonel Henry Hall, noted news
paper correspondent of Washington,
D. c., who often travelled with How
ard Eaton, described his life and
character.

mouth of the Poplar. Fink, still
brooding at times, still seemed to feel
the call of spring and there was, in
the trip back, the semblance of the
old friendship.
Then came a night when the talk
was of the home country, Virginia,
Kentucky, st. Louis, New England,
and of the days spent in the land of
the Bloods, days just ended. Fink,
in his banter, made remark about
the Indian girl. There was a laugh
in his words, but his eyes were hard.
Carpenter resented it, but Major
Henry came between them and pre-
vented a second fight. Then Talbeau,
the peacemaker, hoping to end the
quarrel for all time, suggested that
they go through the rite of shooting
the cup" tossing coin for which
should shoot first.
Fink was to shoot first. His bullet
pierced Carpenters brain. For weeks
there was no other topic of converse

After listening to a series of elo-
quent addresses eulogistic of the
great guide, nearly 1000 persons
who had gathered in the canyon be-
low Sheep Eaters cliff stood silent
and thrilled as bugle sounded taps
and a party of horsemen, silhouetted
against the western sky, traversed
the rim of the gorge at the conclu-
sion of the cerem onial dedication o.
the new Howard Eaton trail.
The trail is 1877 miles long and
reaches all important scenic regions
OF the park. With it's connecting
trail, it embraces a total of more
than 700 miles.
True Western Type
The chief speaker was Congress-
man Charles E. Winter of Wyoming,
whose topic was 1.-THE Spirit of How
ard Eaton" Mr.. Winter, long a
friend of Howard Eaton, saw in him
the personification of the fine west
ern spirit of freedom and liberty so
essential part of the national life
He characterized him as the true
western type and the exemplar of all
the qualities which are ingredients
Of the American spirit and asked
that all who travel the Howard Eaton

ton in the fort. Men argued pro and
con, excusing Fink largely. Talbeau
had no doubt but that his friends
hand was unsteady, though Carpen-
ter had had premonition and be-
fore the shooting of the cup had left
all of his effects to Talbeau.
Fink and Talbeau we're sent south
to meet Ashley's men at the mouth
of the Moreau river. The ghost of
Carpenter seemed to ride with them.
Came a prairie fire. Their horses
failed, but they themselves managed
to make rising butte and were safe.
A little later in a camp by river
side, while Talbeau was reminiscenc-
ing, Fink, in a fit of anger, declared
he had shot to kill Carpenter.
One horse, with one gun and the
saddle bags, had been found dead at
the rivers side. Talbeau had the
gun. He decided, as punishment,
to rive Fink, without food or water,
through the hills, shooting at him
whenever he stopped to drink.
The ghost of Carpenter seemed to
walk beside Fink. The Irishman for
several days wandered, losing his
mind as he stumbled ahead with Tai
beau out of sight, but the whistle of
a bullet in his ears whenever he

Montana,s Birth Rate

Of the three Montana cities in
cluded in the summary of vital sta
tistics for 1922, compiled by the bu-
reau of census, department of COM
merce, Helena, shows 301 births and
I179 deaths. The latter figure in
cludes 22 infants under one year.
Butte reports $40 births with 549
deaths, including AZ infants under
one year, while Missoula counted 461
births and 244 deaths. OF the deaths
35 were those of infants under
year.
Comparison of figures with former
years shows a lower birth rate and
a higher death rate for the rs states
included in the census bureaus COM
pilation
A total of 58,766 births are re-
corded in 1922, for 80 cities in Wash
ington, Oregon, Montana and Califor-
mia, with total of 1868 deaths. The
number of infants dying under the
age of one year in these cities is
placed at 1857 for the year.
Los Angeles led the western cities
in the number of births in 1922, hav-
ing a rate of 22.0 per 1000 popula-
ton. The southern city also led in
the number of deaths in the west,
having rate of 1872 per 1000 popu-
1ation. Infant mortality was the
greatest in Los Angeles, the total
being LOIS and the rate being placed
by the government bureau at 70 per
1000 births.

Spring came and with it change
in the temper of the men. In tent,
the boatmen and traders were play
ing seven up. Talbeau, still worry
ing over the cleft in the friendship
bond, stole away to Carpenters tent
and soon returned with him. Car
penter joined the game, spoke grin
ningly to Fink, who responded al
most with smile
But fate, in the cards, interviewed.
Fink had bid four. A lot of low
trumps in Carpenters hand beat
him. AS the men rallied at the Irish
man, he rose and knocked Carpenter
down.
Out in the open they went for the
fight.
Carpenter, in long battle won,
knocked out his friend and, as he lay
unconscious, bathed his face with
snow.
Back then went the expedition to
the fort that Henry built below the

CIVIL WAR VET
WEEDS WOMAN g.

That the spirit of romance is not
confined to the younger generation
was evidenced in Bozeman when
romance of a few weeks eliminated
in the marriage of j. S. Edwards, 70
years of age and Civil war veteran,
and Mrs. Alice Bevens Ward, So, of
Missouri, who came to Bozeman
about two months ago to make her
home with her niece, Mrs. ]. w.
Harrison, and family.
The wedding took place at the
First Baptist church, with the Rev.
E. r. Curry officiating and friends of
the bride and bridegroom as witness
es. After the ceremony, the couple
left for a brief honeymoon trip. Mr..
and Mrs. Edwards will reside at 11S
West Lamme street, where Mr.. Ed
wards has lived for many years.

MAN BUYS PARK COUNTY JAIL;
JOKE SEEMS TO BE ON COUNTY

The question of what to do with
a first class county jail, now that he
has it, is facing Mike Walsh of Liv-
ingston, after being informed that q
lot he purchased in Whitehall town
ship at tax sale two years ago is
the location of the county jail. The
lot was sold by the officials for de-
linquent taxes thought to be due on
the property, unaware that it be-
longed to the county and that the jail
was on the lot.
Mr. Walsh didn't know until in
formed by his attorney, when the
lapse of time for redemption by the
owner had passed, that he was the
of a county jail.

on that day was out of sight.
Talbeau was too late. He found
only the body of his friend. The
crows had picked out the eyes.
This is the story, but wound

through it is a gripping word picture
of those hardy expeditions that open

Apparently aged and worn, man
who gave his name as John L. Hand

by Judge J. B. Leslie in the district
court at Great Falls to serve from
one to two years in the state peniten-

hope of overcoming the drug habit.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of

This is the story of poem that
in itself is a story. From the pen
of John G. Neihardt, well known
American writer of western stories
and poems, comes 'The Song of
Three Friends" the first in a cycle
of epic poems of the fur traders of
the Trans-Mississippi region in the
earliest days of the western migra-
tion. Tt is above all an American
poem, a story that grips and thrills
like tale of fiction. But it is not
fiction.
The story of Mike Fink, Will
Carpenter and the little Talbeau
is found in the files of The West
ern Souvenir, the Western Monthly
Review and the Missouri Inte1Ii-
gencer. 1T is q tale of the traders
who crossed the Missouri and
struck west in 1922 and 1928 I'M
der the leadership of Ashley and
Henry of st. Louis. 1t has to do
with our own country, the north
west country in the days when the
white man was the explorer, the
searcher and the incipient con-
queror. And it is a story, saga
of strong men, bold adventurous
spirits and great friendship
which was broken by jealousy over
woman, and brought murder.
Death, a death of vengeance and
punishment, prevented its healing.

st. Louis wit hthe Ashley and Henry
expedition of fur traders to cross the
Missouri. There was friendship
between the trio like that of the
Three Musketeers or a Damon and
Pythias with third added. Fink,
the Irishman, was a man of might
and power, stocky, wonderfully built.
A gay Celt he was who would fight
whoever failed to laugh at his jokes.
Carpenter, the Yankee, was a tall
and rangy chap, lovable character
in the trio. Talbeau, the little
Frenchman, was slight, wiry and a
wonder of fighting speed. Wherever
adventures gathered were these
three and their prowess with fist and
rifle known. Their sacred friend
ship rite was the shooting of the
cup" in which Carpenter would shoot
at a brimming cup of liquor on
Fink's head, lifting the hair without
splitting the liquor. Fink would then
turn about and repeat the trick. Hard
listed youths, joyous, full of life and
the call of the new lands, hard drink
ing, hard riding, living only for the
love of life.

when Fink saw an Indian maid, the
adopted daughter of a chief, whose

he first time in his adventurous ca
eer, Fink fell in love. He wooed
he girl in the Indian fashion, taking |

o his lodge.

you. I'll try an raise a new skirt for
you. An now I've got to slide out
and get to work."
He rose quickly, and was gone be-
fore she could say a word. Aimee
went to the caves mouth and watched
him out of sight.
II wonder what he'll do" she said
to herself She reflected on the situa-
ton. The difficulty concerning Amy
Shocks, the new parlor maid, was
uppermost in her mind.
A flash came into Aimee's eyes; it
announced the birth Of a brilliant
idea. She laughed impishly, and then
sighed
Cant be worked, I'm afraid" she
murmured. ''Too far away. and
there isn't time. But what a pity !!
L"
Suddenly Aimee started to her feet
in sheer panic.
"Oh, great heavens, what an idiot
I am! Dad 1 quite forgot-!'
The stress of the past ten hours
had utterly driven from her mind one
vital fact that now came back poign.
antly. Lord Scroope was coming to

of the butler with telegram. Lady

not unwelcome to her.

"There is no answer" she said to
the butler. Lord Scroope is prevent

"Very good, my lady,"
Aimee's heart leaped with joy. But
her face remained unmoved She con-
tinued to look demurely at the carpet.

her ladyship, (which l should have

Aimee bobbed to her mistress, and
left the room quietly. Outside she
found Mr.. Tarbeaux waiting for her.
Everything depends on the angle from
which one regards so supreme a person
as the butler. The new parlor maid
looked at him timidly. Mr.. Tarbeaux,
with an air of mingled satisfaction and
apprehension, conducted her to the
women-servants' hall. The housekeep-
er was absent.
At Jervaulx the male and female
servants were segregated in separate
apartments for meals. Mr.. Tarbeaux
took his charge to a room next the
vast kitchens, where a meat tea was
in progress, presided over by a cook
of vast adiposity. The pageboy was
the only male in the room. Mr.. Tar.

CHAPTER xiv
The New ParIor Maid.

Aimee sitting in the morning sun
light near the mouth of her burrow,
heard a rustling among the bushes
and at once dived back into shelter
Presently there was a soft whistle,
which she answered. Mr.. William
Spencer parted the bramb1es very qui-
city and entered the cave.
"BiHyi"
He clicked his heels together and
touched his cap.
Anything l can do for you, miss ?''
he said grinning. "Got a new job
Chauffeur to her ladyship. Four a
week and all found"
"What? ?'
Billy sat down beside her and made
his report. Aimee heard it, at first
with the air of Desdemona listening
to Othello. Then she rolled on the
sand in helpless spasms of laughter.
"How absolutely gorgeous" she
painted, sitting up and wiping her
eyes. you've done splendidly. !
wish I'd been there to hear you bluff

good of the chauffeur's job, Billy

You should have heard her handing il
