NE of the early explorers
of Southern Montana was
~ Sir George Gore, a British
baronet of wealth, who came in
to what was then Idaho in 1854
on an expedition de luxe, six
years before the discovery OF
gold in Grasshopper and Alder
gulches. At that time about
the only white men in Montana
were the Jesuit fathers, in the
Bitter Root and F1athead val
1eys, and the fur trading estab-
Hshments along the Missouri,
in the northeastern part of the
state. He travelled with a
large cavalcade and in unheard
of luxury for those far away
days. He was armed to the
teeth, had with him about 40
men, was amply provisioned
and prepared for any emer-
gency. He had his brushes with
the redskins, but managed to
beat them off without much
difficulty. The only white men
that he came in contact with
were Colonel Vaughn and
Major CuIbertson, at the mouth
of the Yellowstone river, with
whom he was quickly at odds.
Vaughn wanted to know what
authority he had for coming in
to the country, and a much
discounted when Sir George
produced a passport from the
superintendent of Indian af-
fairs. He was then on his way
back to civilization, and offered
his wagons and supplies to Ma
jor Cu1bertson. Culbertson tried
to take advantage of his neces-
stiles, so Gore burned his wa
CONS and destroyed what stores.
he did not need in the presence
of Culbertson and Vaughn.
Here is the story of Sir Georges
expedition, as narrated in a re-
cent publication of the Montana
Historical society.

l.. @. STEVENSON SAYS TT WILL

THE NEXT SO DAYS
Outstanding Feature of Oil Industry
just Now Is Its Growing Use for
Fuel; Great Northern Burning Oil
in Engines.

L. G. Stevenson, one Of the big
ell operators of the north field,
says a market is assured for all the
crude produced on this side of the
international boundary and that oil
will be moving to market freely
within the next 80 days.
Contrary to expectations, very
much Kevin-Sunburst crude may not
cross the border into Canada, Mr..
Stevenson announces. The Imperial
Oil company, through its connection
with Carter Oil company, it is re-
ported, will buy and use Salt Greek,
Wyoming, crude in it's Calgary re-
finery. This plant, with capacity of
5000 barrels a day, has taken some
of the northern crude but has a

Oats that averaged ITO bushels to
the acre and wheat that averaged 81

OF grain, he asserts, that has been
seen in the Shields river valley since
the bumper crops of 1915

P01NCARE AND
BALDWIN HAVE
PRIVATE TALK
No Definite Decision
Reached, Communique
Hints.
BUT EVENTS EXPECTED
With Belgian Premier in
Paris, Agreement
Likely.
BUT EVENTS EXPECTED

Paris, Sept. 19.-Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain,
who has been vacationing in Paris.
had private conference with Premier
Poincare this afternoon at the British
embassy following a luncheon given by
Ambassador Lord Crewe.
1t was announced in an official
communique that, while no definite
solution of any question was expected
from the brief meeting, it had been
happily discovered that there was no
difference of purpose or divergence
Of principle" between the two govern
ments.
Mr.. Baldwin is remaining in Paris
until Friday at least, and perhaps
longer. This is taken as indicating
that the conversations will be contin-
ucd and the hope is expressed in
French circles that they will at least
be fruitful in creating feeling more
favorable to complete accord than
has prevailed since the receipt of the
last British reparation note.
There is a strong expectation that
the premiers will agree that France
and Great Britain, being in full ac-
cord on the vital principals involved.
will find way Of putting the settle
ment of details on a basis which will
prevent further friction.
NJ. Poincare saw the Belgian pre-
mier, M. Theunis, briefly last evening
on the occasion of the latter's social
visit to Paris, and also conferred with
Louis Barthou, and the other French
separation experts before Mr.. Bald
wins arrival
The conclusion drawn from this
chain of events in political circles :s
that the meeting of the premiers,
which was first announced as a purely
formal affair. demanded by diplomatic
usage, is likely to develop into Sc
rious conference from which progress
toward harmony IN the allied policy
of dealing with Germany may re-
suit.
