EARLY DAYS ON THE UPPER MISSOURI;
wHEM THE AMERICAN FUR COMPANY CAME
(By j. Z. Sanders.l

The confluence of the Missouri and
Marias rivers near Fort Benton is
historic and bloody ground and has
seen some of the tragedies of our
Indian history during the past cen
fury. Later it was the site selected
by some of u pioneers and cap
tains of industry, where it was hoped
and expected to found a city, a met
ropolis, the head of navigation on
the longest water course in the world,
by men who had no suspicion that a
railroad would supercede its COM
merce.
The general course Of the Missouri
at this point is northeast, but be-
tween there and Fort Benton it
makes several big bends, and des-
cribes the three sides of a quare to
the southeast, below which the Mar
las, its largest tributary on the north
except the Milk river, comes in from
the west. The Teton river, also flow
ing from the west, approaches a big
bend in the Missouri and cuts across
the neck of the valley surrounded by
the Missouri and enters the Marias
a mile or so above it's mouth.
American Fur Company
In 1880 the American Fur COM
pany, whose outpost among the In
dams was Fort Union at the mouth
of the Yellowstone, determined to
enter the Blackfoot country and con-
tend with the Hudson Bay company
for the trade of this region.
In September, 1881, James Kipp
was sent with a keel boat loaded with
goods and a force of about rs men
the mouth Of the Marias river,
where he built Fort Piegan, named
for a tribe of Indians of the Black
confederation. This post was
found to be unfavorably located, the
surrounding bluffs making it parti-
vulnerable to attack from the
Indians, most of whom in that sec
ion were hostile to the whites, and
next year 1t was abandoned and
Fort Mckenzie was built six miles
up the Marias, and about five
below the Cracon Dunes, which
s in sight of Fort Benton, where
he Teton so closely approaches the
Missouri. ,
Fort Mckenzie
Major Chittenden, one of our great
historians, who wildly portrayed the
of the fur trade of the west,
also the navigation of the Mis-
ouri river, says that the history of
Fort Mckenzie had more of excite ,
nent and incident about it than any
# the older trading posts. The !

1876 miles from the mouth of the
Mississippi. In 1861 the Chippewa
was bound for Fort Benton with con-
s1gnments of powder and alcohol on
board, the two got mixed with a
candle carried by a thirsty deckhand
and the result was that the boat blew
up. Packages were said to have been
found three miles from the scene of
the disaster, afterwards known as
Disaster bend.

Culbertson to Fort John on the La
ramie river, hoping to make that post
a profitable location. Fort McKen-
zie was left in charge of Chardon and
Alexander Harvey and it was not long
before they we're in conflict with the
lords of the soil. They gave up the
fight and moved down the Missouri,
where they built a fort on the north
side of the river opposite the mouth
of the Judith, which was called Fort
Chardon. Fort Mckenzie was burn
ed and the site was later known as
Fort Brule or Burned Fort and the
valley where it stood is today known
as Brule bottom.

The successful operation Of steam
boats on the upper Missouri or what
We would call the lower river, com
menced in 1881 when the steamer
Yellowstone, bound for Union, only
reached Fort Tecumseh, opposite
Pierre, S. d. In 1892 the Yellow
stone reached Fort Union for the
first time, 13 years after the first
boat, the Independence, essayed to
navigate the Missouri in 1919. From
1882 the American Fur company
shipped its goods every year to Fort
Union by steamboat.

"Jewelry styles have no authorize

Partisan actress whose ears are not

feminine world buries its ears under

America it is time for jewelers. to
take concerted action to regulate
styles which too long have been DOM
mated by caprice and accident.
