the territory of Montana out of the
eastern portion of Idaho, and the
bill was signed by President Lincoln.
Edgerton became the first territorial
governor while Sanders was made
one of the first United States sena-
tors from Montana when it merged
from a territory into state quar-
ter of century later A monument
to Sanders stands in the state house
at Helena, and county in western
Montana Is named for him. Edger-
ton was not SO we'll remembered. A
county was named for him and the
name was afterwards changed to
Lewis and Clark.
So the first pugilist in Montana
was a factor in the creation of a.
great state. Orem, a blacksmith, ,.
afterwards settled in Dillon, where.
he lived and piled his trade for many
years and raised large family. Will.
liam Orem, formerly state mine in
spector, was his son. One of Orem's
most cherished possessions was a
gold belt, worth several thousand
dollars which he won in fifty round
battle, with bare knuckles, in Vir-
ginia City. Bannack, which was
made the territorial capital, lost it
a few years later to Virginia City,
a more populous camp, and is now
one of the ghost cities of Montana.

Senator j. e. Lane, Lewistown

If England wants to win this wal

jocular explanation.
Give me an army of men like tina

eral Mitchell is alleged to have re
marked after Duane had left.
Cited for GaIIantry
Duane emerged from the Crimear
campaign decorated with the Grim
can war medal and special CLASP
| for bravery shown during the fight
ing at Sebastopol. Besides being
cited for bravery by the British off
GERS, his deeds attracted the atten-
ton of the Turkish officials, and the
Sultan of Turkey bestowed upon him
that coveted decoration, the Crescent
of Turkey. He was one of 10 men
in his regiment who were credited
with never missing an hours duty
or bugle call during the campaign.
In the spring of 1856 Duane's

under the command of General Pen
nyfeather, and later from Malta to
Gibraltar, where it was given to the
command of General Williams. A
year later the regiment was trans
ferred to Hongkong, China, where it
was stationed under the command
of General Strabenzy.
When Minister Pang Wanching ca
tegorically refused the provisions of
the ultimatum presented to China by
the British ambassador, demanding
an immediate apology, the payment
of 100000 indemnity, and ra-
tification at Pekin of the treaty of
Tien-tsin, nothing remained but war.
Sir Hope Grant, hero of the Indian
mutiny and of England's first war
with China, was placed in charge of
the English troops at Hongkong.
In Advance on Pekin
Duane was with his regiment at
the fighting at the Taku forts at
Pehtang, which opened the way to
Tien-tsin. This engagement was
followed by the one at Chan-chia-
Wan, which placed Pekin at the
mercy of the allied English and
French forces. He was with the
English when they entered Pekin,
but, unlike many of the other sol
diers, refused to take part in the
looting of the summer palace of En-
1eror Hsien-Feng.
1t was during the advance on
Pekin that Duane's adventurous
spirit and love for devilment resulted |
n an amusing incident. The resist
tnce shown by the Chinese at Chan
'hia-Wan had been sufficient to
make the British commander hest
ate before advancing further Ur-
,ent orders were sent to Sir Robert
Napier, garrisoning Tien-tsin, to
'ring such reserves as he could
pare. During the interval that clap

riders were given the soldiers that

THREE MONTANA WOMEN
MAKE FLIGHT in AIR

Word comes from Great Falls that
a new aerial record for Montana has
been set in the carrying of three
women passengers from White Sui
phur Springs to the Power city. The
trip occupied so minutes in the six
passenger plane operated by Earl
Vance, who has been doing much
flying around the state advertising
the Dempsey Gibbons fight at Shelby
next month.
The passengers were Mrs. Charles
Wight, Miss Laura Donaldson and
Miss Emma Driedlein of White Sui
phur Springs. The start was made
from the Dick Ringing ranch at
White Sulphur Springs.
1t was not the speed that Vance
made to Great Falls wherein the rec
ord rests, but the fact that it was
the first time in Montana that three
members of the fair sex had ridden
in an airplane at the same time.
Although the time made was the
minor part of the record, it is the
fastest which has ever been made be-
tween White Sulphur Springs and
Great Falls, trip which, if taken
by train, would take over a day and
by auto generally takes over five
hours.
DR.. Charles Wight, whose wife was
one of the passengers, is in charge
of the Ringing herds at the famous
ranch in Meagher county. He is the
nephew of the late Charles Wight,
for many years on the editorial staff
of the Standard in Anaconda.

FOOD MANUFACTURER
LAUNCH NATIONAL DRIVE
FOR NEW RECIPES
Over 81 800 to be Paid for the Best
Recipes Received

| A nationwide campaign, which
will give every housewife in America
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 rs years, Grape
Nuts has been sold and advertised
as 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 national drive for
new uses of Grape-Nuts should de-
velop 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
submitted. Good Housekeeping Mag
azine will decide the four recipes or
suggestions entitled to these special
awards.
The conditions, as explained in
advertising and circulars
in hands of grocers, are simple and
easily complied with.

Here is something for Jack Demp-
sey and Tommy Gibbons and the ex-
ponents of the manly art of self-de-
Tense to ponder over and be proud of
Con Orem, heavyweight champion
pugilist of the Montana of 60 years
ago brought about the creating OF
the territory, now the great COM
monwealth of Montana.
Orem was a placer gold miner in
Bannack in 1868, when Bannack
with a population of two or three
thousand souls, was the most i'm
portant city between Denver and the
western tidewater What is now
Montana was then part of Idaho,
a great expanse of the west, with
indefinite borders, and out of which
has since been carved half a dozen
robust states. Lewiston, away to
the west, another isolated hamlet
was the territorial capital.
The miners of Bannack did not
work on Sunday. Instead they got
together in some central point and
made each others acquaintance.
Sometimes one who had some spe-
cial message for his fellows would
talk to them. Con Orem liked
public speaking. And, as he was a
first-class fighting man, and popu-
lar among his fellows, the miners
would always give him a hearing.
One Sunday Con made a speech
from the tail gate of an OK wagon
to several hundred miners, advocat-
ing the creation of the territory of
Montana. He did not call it Mon
tana, congress doing that later. He
told of the lawless condition of the
country, of the remoteness of the
capital of Idaho, and suggested that
the miners take steps toward the
creation of new territory. His re-
marks created profound impress
sion. There was further discussion
as to procedure.
1t happened that in the crowd
were two men, who later, were to
write their names large in the his
.ory of the state-Sidney G. Edger-
.on and Wilbur f. Sanders. Edger-
on was a lawyer, had been a mem
Der of congress from Ohio, and on
being appointed chief justice of the
erritory of Idaho had journeyed |
vest to the capital, Sanders, young /
awyer, his nephew, accompanying
lin, Sanders spoke first. He told |
II the presence of Edgerton, said he |
,new of the proper procedure, and |
Introduced him. Edgerton then adj
lressed the miners and told them
hey should petition congress and
end delegation representing them
0 Washington to present the matter
o congress. But first of all COM
nittee should be selected with au-
hority to raise money to pay the
expenses of the miners delegates
ack across the plains to civilization
nd to Washington.
The upshot of all this talk was
hat the miners passed the hat and
lade collection of $4,000 in gold
ust, while similar collections were
lade in other gold camps Then
'dgerton was given the gold dust ,
nd sent forth on his state creating

He succeeded. A few months lat

HIS military career began j uno 8
1853, when he enlisted at Birr, King
county, Ireland. His regimenta
number was 2,764, and he was as
signed to the Second battalion, Firs
Royal regiment, infantry, then under
the temporary command of Major
Graham. The regiment, under the
command of Major J. P. Gore, was
moved to Castelar,, and later t.
Athlone.
In Crimean War
1t was about this time that Gar
Nicholas of Russia took issue with
the Sultan of Turkey, and the war
clouds began to loom above the hori-
zon. England, as an ally of Tur-
key, was in duty bound to side with
the Sublime Porte, as did France.
The German states and Austria as
sumed neutral position. With war
impending, Duane's regiment, with
Col. Richard William Hewey in COM
mand, was transferred to Cephalonia,
and after brief rest sent to the
Crimea and made part of the Second
division, under the command of Gen
eral Pennyfeather.
Duane participated in the fighting
at Balaklava and Inkermann, two of
the bloodiest engagements of the
Crimean war. Inkermann was fol-
lowed by gloomy winter. Terrible
storms on the Black sea destroyed
transports loaded with supplies for
the army. The horses that charged
at Balaklava became unfit for ser
vice; the men who had fought at
Inkermann languished in the field
hospitals. In the wretchedly organ
lied laZarets at Scutari the sick and
died by scores for lack of
proper medical attention. Shameful
frauds were perpetrated in filling the
contracts for preserved meats. After
the narrowing misery that prevailed
had been pictured in the London
newspapers, something like system

Nervousness over Likelihood of Sc

At first the wheat market appeared
to be much more influenced by reports
of the excellent progress of the winter

threatened. Harvesting conditions
were represented as ideal, and the

Reports that weather in the spring
