latin County Farmers VIII Sign
Petition.

Meetings have been held through
out the state of Montana to formally
take action in petitioning congress to
specially enact such legislation as
will enable the creation of an agri-
cultural export corporation to handle
farm commodities that must of ne
cessity find a market abroad"
M. l.. Wilson, Montana state coll
lege economist, who has been most
active in urging the newest doctrine
for the relief of the farmer by means
of a floating tariff on wheat, ex-
planned the plan and the possible
workings of it to a representative
gathering of Gallatin county grain
growers.
Floating Tariff
In substance Mr.. Wilson described
the measure as "a floating tariff, or
flexible tariff, backed by an agri-
cultural export corporation, empow-
cred by congress to buy the export
able wheat surplus at figure that
will place the price of wheat up on
level with the prices of manufactured

May Dance i'm school House

Injunction upon the trustees OF
school district So to close dancing at
the Independent school house, five
miles east of Billings was refused by
Judge Spencer in district court ac-
ton by several tax payers.
A. M. Lanier, S. Shearer, and Herb
Brown, trustees of the school district,
were charged in the complaint with
renting the building for dances
without legal authority. 1t was also
alleged that the desks in the build
ing we're badly damaged by moving
them for the dances, that the papers
and books of the students were scat
tered and lost, interfering with their
progress, and that the conduct of the
dancers, who it was charged were
drunken and of immoral conduct, was
a bad influence for the community.
A large number of the residents of
the district attended the hearing.
Judge Spencer refused to allow tes-
timony as to the character of the
dances, ruling that it was irrelevant,
and heard only testimony as to the
authority of the trustees to rent the
building to those giving dances.

California Has 10000 Indians, New
Mexico Has 100000; Arizona, 49,

Out here in Montana we are in
Indian market; that they are our own
special product and that as scenic at
fractions we have a corner on the
market Not So While Montana has
more than $4,000 Indians, we must
take our hats off to Oklahoma with
10000, and New Mexico with 20,-
600. Even Minnesota has as many
Indians as Montana. California has
more than 10000. AS matter of
fact, there is not a state in the union
that hasn't at least few noble red
men.
Yes, indeed, there are Indians in
New York state-6,400 if you please.
Away up in Vermont there are still
26, and West Virginia has SO. In
Virginia proper there are $50 full
bloods Rhode Island has Pa and
Ohio 1877. New Hampshire has 81
and New Jersey 1913. You don't see
many Indians hanging around Chi
cago, yet Illinois has 188 and Florida
has more than 573 Away down in
Mississippi there are 1868 and Louis
lana has $50. Maryland has 55.
Delaware, it is true, has only five
redskins, but imagine Connecticut
with 1852 and Alabama with 909.
Arizona has $4,000. One wouldn't
go looking for Indians in Georgia, but
there are so of 'em there, and right
in Maine there are 892. Even Ken
lucky has 242. 1t will surprise most
people to know that there are more
than 5000 Indians in North Carolina
although there are only 334 in South
Carolina. Even Pennsylvania has
1903. AS one goes south he finds
fewer Indians, and even Texas has
only about 700 North Dakota has
about 5000. The northwestern states
have large colonies. Washington has
10000 and Oregon 5000.
This nation of our is a long way
from being out of Indians. There
are few states which have no ne
groes. There is none in Vermont and
none in North Dakota, but of Indians
the nearest they come to extinction
in the nation is Delaware, with only
five.

FATHER LOSES
LIFE FOR SONS
MAKES FUTILE ATTEMPT TO
RESCUE CHILDREN; ALL
ARE BURNED
III. e. Engler Succeeds in Saving the
Lives of Wife and -Four Daughters
From Burning Building; Bodies
Found in Debris.

In a heroic effort to save his two
young sons from death by fire, H. S
Engler, 55 years of age, lost his life
his sons perishing with him. The
Engler family, husband, wife and si1
children, were living in the Pat Lilly
hotel, landmark of the old town
of Barker, which two-score years age
was one of the largest mining camps
in Montana. About 5 o'clock Satur-
day morning, after starting the kit
chen fire, Mr.. Engler went into the
yard for more fuel and while gather
ing some heard one of his daughters
scream. He hurried to the house and
discovered the kitchen in flames,
which had caught from a defective
chimney. Engler succeeded in get
ting his wife and four daughters out
of the burning house, and then went
back to the second floor, where the
two sons were sleeping.
Whether Mr.. Engler reached the
children before they had been suffo-
Gated and was on his way down the
stairs with them in his arms when
overtaken by death, or they were
dead when he succeeded in getting
to them, is not known. 1t is presum-
ed he located the boys and was on
his way out when the second floor
fell in. The three bodies, burned to
a crisp, were found lying side by side
in the debris after the fire. There
was some uncertainty as to whether
the scene of the tragedy is in Judith
Basin or Cascade county, but finally
the commissioners of the former
county were notified, it is said. The
citizens of the little mining camp,
most of whom are employed in the
Block P" mines at Hughesville, a
mile and half away, collected s465 |
and presented it to Mrs. Engler. The
residents of Monarch also are rails
ing money for her relief.
The Engler family lived at Stan
ford for several years and only re-
Gently moved to Barker. The surviv-
ing members are Mrs. Engler and six |
daughters, Mrs. Dan Farrell of Mel
hart, Lorraine Engler, 16 zelda, Is;
Dorothy, 4 Betty Jane, 2; and Jean,
but three months.

MONTANA FARMERS
SAVED Sl,635,OOO

Report of the years activities in
the grasshopper campaign of the
United States bureau of entomology
has been prepared by Stewart Lock
wood for presentation to the proper
authorities. In this report it is stated
that the estimated cost for materials
alone this year in the Montana cam
paign against the grasshopper pests
was $125, 900, but that the saving in
crop value made possible by this ex-
penditure was estimated at IS times
that amount, taking the state as a
whole.
Remarkable Saving
Where the campaign started early
in the season and where the farmers
purchased sufficient supply of poi
son for the determination of the in
sects, the saving is truly remark
able,. says Mr.. Lockwood. 1t is
thought that the northern counties
of the state in 1924 will not have so
many of the grasshoppers to contend
with as they did the past season
1t is set forth in the report that al
though the peak of the trouble is I'M
doubtedly past in Montana, care
must be taken in the counties west
be worse next year than this.
eff an extensive campaign allow
ing the expenditure of sufficient
money is undertaken in 1924, it will
be possible to reduce the number of
grasshoppers so materially that there
will be no trouble with them for
many years to come" declares Mr..
Lockwood.
Conduct Experiments
Officials of the Billings laboratory
have issued an invitation good at all
times for Billings people and others
interested to visit the local labora-
tory and watch the grasshoppers used
for experimental purposes hatch and
feed and see the development of the
insects. An interesting display may
be seen at the laboratory at this time
as the entomologists have a large
number of the hoppers in glass tubes
and are feeding them on grass and
cereals propagated in the laboratory. |

1t was set forth that rs per cent of
the wheat grown in the United States
is consumed in this country. That
leaves rs per cent to be put on the
world market and exported. The
amount for domestic purposes will
carry a price, according to the new
plan, equal to or in proportion to the
buying power of other domestic art
icles, thereby increasing the price of
wheat SO or so per cent. The export
wheat will carry the world market
price as it does at present, but the
difference will be absorbed by the
domestic price and the wheat grow
ers will be required to make that
good. 1t is said that If the plan
works out as now proposed, wheat
growers will receive in the neighbor-
hood of 40 cents more bushel for
their grain than at present. 1t is
also set forth that all farm products
will automatically raise in price.
Forty-eight signers to the petition
circulated together with a liberal vol
untary contribution was the result
of the meeting. 1t is expected that
1 900 Gallatin county farmers will
eventually sign the petition, which
reads as follows.
I'VE, the undersigned citizens of
Gallatin county, do hereby petition
the congress of the United States to
specially enact such legislation as
will enable the creation of an agri-
cultural export corporation to handle
farm commodities that must of ne
cessity find market abroad"
Not only are meetings of similar
nature being held in all the grain
growing counties of the state for the
purpose of bolstering up the initiative
meeting held in Bozeman, but other
states are also participating in the
and the different commu-
mites filing petitions to urge con-
5ressional action.

WHEN MONTANA DECLARED WAR ON THE
glAGKFEET; THE STORY OF JOHN MORGAN

| their chance if they wanted tc
make some good Indians. The
gold hunters promptly made the
Piegans prisoners and decided to
hang them. One of the Indians
showed fight, and was shot dead,
The other three were hanged.
In the brush, a little distance
from the scene of this outrage,
were several Piegan warriors. Hor-
rorstricken, they watched the exc
cution of their tribesmen. They
were not strong enough to fight, so
they went back to their tribal head
quarters and told of the breaking
of the Morgan treaty. The tribe
went on the war path. The next
spring, in force, the Blackfeet made
an attack on the Sun river Indian
agency. There were but two white
men at the agency. Notice of the
presence of the hostiles was given
when one of these two men was
shot from ambush. The other de-
cided to sell his life as dearly as
possible. The Indians were of the
opinion that the agency was de-
Tended by strong force and were
inclined to be cautious. A burning
arrow set fire to the agency build
ing. This fire exploded a large key
of powder, blowing the top of the
off. The Indians fled in
CONSERVATION, the lone defender
escaping injury, and after the de-
parture of the Indians, made his
way to a ranch and safety on the
Dearborn river.
Morgan, in the meantime, fear
ing reprisals at the hands of the
Blackfeet whom he had so heart |
essly betrayed, thought it best to
get out of the Sun river country.
With his family he went to Helena
md safety. Immediately after the
up of the agency the hos
lies went to Morgan's place to
vreak vengeance on their betrayer.
They followed his fairly fresh trail
0 the Old Mission, and on the
heory that he had taken refuge
here lay in ambush about the place
or several days. A man named
fitzpatrick, who ventured out of
he mission, was killed. Then the
indians learned that Morgan had
one on and gave UP the siege. :
hey went over to the Dearborn,
here they killed Charles Carson
hereafter they killed every white !
ian they happened to find in
,nely place. These murders con- {
nued until about 1870, when the
,aker massacre broke up the spirit !
the tribe. They came to the con- /
usion that the medicine of the '
!hite man was too strong for them
nd fought him no more.

were about as familiar with Eng.
lish as they we're with Sanscrit, SC
the council was in the hollow of the
hand of Malcolm Clark. He inter
preted just what he wanted to and
neither the whites nor the Indians
were any the wiser.
! Bacchus, too, was an important
functionary at this memorable con
ference and the assembly was made
mellow by the cracking of couple
of bottles of Hudson Bay rum.
Morgan and the Blackfeet chief
first smoked the pipe of peace.
Then the parley started. In accord
ance with tribal custom the Black
feet offered to atone for their deed
by offering an indemnity of one
horse for every white man killed,
but because they had no black
horses, would offer nothing for the
slain negro. Clark's Interpretation
of this tender was that the Black
feet regretted the incident, and
we're willing to be good if the great
white soldier would forget, and live
in peace and amity with the whites
forever after. Morgan, seeming a
great diplomatic victory, gracious
ly accepted this proposal, and
treaty of peace was speedily rati-
fled. Clark told Morgan that the
Indians were so pleased with his
work that they proposed to give to
him Clark the horses that really
constituted the indemnity, and
Morgan, knowing nothing of the
real purpose of the gift, or its sig
nificance consented to this arrange
ment. After feast in celebration
Of this bloodless war against the
Blackfeet, Morgan marched his lit
tie army back to Helena, where it
was disbanded, at a muster out at
which Governor Meagher thanked
he troops for their services and
old them, in burning words, that
he territory would ever cherish the
of their valor. Morgan,
he Cincinnatus of this unpleasant
less which had ended so pleasant
Y, sheathed his sword and retired
o his ranch in the Sun river valley.
Malcolm Clark, the interpreter,
huckling, drove his herd of horses
Jack to his home. Meagher and
1organ never knew how Clark had
ooled them, but the Blackfeet head .
nen thought it queer that Clark
ad become possessed of all the
orses.

the territory. He was. one Of Gov
ernor Meagher's militiamen. Nor
il gan marched with his command tc
| Fort Benton and went into camp
| there. In some respects he was not
unlike that other Morgan of the
Spanish main who took what he
fancied in the way of Spanish gal
Icons and sacked an occasional city,
and was knighted for these misde-
meanors. The Montana Morgan
had taking way, too. He com
Wandered right and left among
the citizens of the river metropolis,
justifying his action because of his
needs, but always with the assur-
ance that he was purchasing sup
plies for the territory, which would
pay. He commended that he was
there to defend Fort Benton from
the Blackfeet, and Fort Benton
should furnish sustenance and COM
fort for himself and his men. En-
PEASANT, as Dick Kilroy would say,
it should be stated that these claims
although presented to numerous
Legislative assemblies, were never
paid.
A Wagonload of Happiness
Finally, the citizenry of Fort
Benton revolted. Morgan could
have neither food nor whisky I'M
less he paid. The food was of but
little consequence, but the cutting
off of the supply of whisky from
his brave soldiers developed a Sc
rious situation. How could he hold
his men without whisky? The
answer came speedily in numerous
assertions. Finally when the COM
mand had melted down to less than
40 men, Morgan decided upon ac-
ton. If they could not have whis-
ky they could fight. So, one morn
ing his command, with flags flying
and drums beating, marched out of
Fort Benton to give battle to the
Blackfeet. 1t was brave getaway
so brave, indeed, that Fort Ben
ton relented and sent after Nor
gan's men a wagon load of sup
plies. There is no record of just |
what these supplies consisted, but
there are grizzled old river men
who assert that if the wagon were

to be held at Mountain Lake Park on
July 4th from 1890 a. m. to $3.50 D..
m. of that day.
Owing to the very unusual weather

most cold enough to snow, making it
necessary in order to be comfortable
for one to wear an overcoat or heavy
wrap, the meet failed 10 arouse the
interest expected, but definite plans
are decided upon to make this an an

each year.
A special feature is to be added
this year including several relay races
for which special awards will be made
to both teams and those composing
the team which are returned winners,
There are fourteen track and field
events included in the program.
