Montana First in Manganese

Montana led the nation in the pro-
duction of high grade manganese ore
last year, figures compiled by the
geological survey of the interior de-
partment show. Last year, S,S71.
tons of manganese ore averaging 50
per cent metal to the ton were taken
from three Montana mines. This ore
was valued at s371,245. Only 49,
404 tons of this grade ore was mined
in the whole country last year.
Nearly 100000 tons of mangan-
ese ore running lower than 35 per
cent metal we're taken from domestic
mines last year.. Most of this ore
came from Minnesota properties. The
total value of the United States man
ganese output in 1922 was s2,158,-
979.
Brazil continues to supply most of
the imported manganese. From Jan.
to September, 1922, 327,727 IONS val
ued at s~2,695,724 were imported
while only 46,724 IONS worth s7O4,-

FATHER IS DEAD;

BOY IN JAIL so NEIGHBORS
HARVEST BIG CROP IN
A SINGLE DAY
Over 20 Acres of Hay Cut and Stack
ed; Mile and a Half Of Fence Built;
Wood Hauled, and Other Farm
Work Done.

More than 40 friends of the Jane
Boden family from Ismay, TW1
Buttes. and Cottonwood, arrived a
the Boden ranch one day recently
armed with hay rakes, p~itchforks
cooks, diswashers and a bountifu
feed for the workers, and all turne'
to and put ranch affairs in goot
shape.
Over 70 acres of hay was cut ant
put up, a mile and a half of fence
was built, wood was hauled, sawed
and split, and throughout there wa
the spirit of cheerfulness and pleas
ure in giving service for others, ma
nifest among those taking part
which showed there is nothing like
friendship to bring sunshine to
home which has felt tragedy and
suffering.
The haying season was approach
ing at the Boden ranch, which nest
les among the hills about half way
between Knowlton and Ismay, when
the head of the house was fatally
injured by a horse, and passed away
five days later at the hospital in
Miles City. The funeral for this
PlOu00I ScLLlOL u Cu0 COuIAl unity was
held at the ranch on the following
Sunday.
The following night the commun-
ity was aroused by the most cold
blooded crime aver to occur there,
when Henry Oster, another rancher,
was murdered at his barn. To cap
the climax, and adding another blow
to the family which had already lost
husband and father, Floyd, Oldest
sOn OF the Bodens, was arrested on
circumstantial evidence, and charged
with the crime at the Oster ranch.
Haying was to have started next
day, and Floyd, helped by his young
er brother, had run a bunch of horses
into the corral to pick out the ami
mails they intended to use and was
already sorting out the animals when
the warrant was served. Work was
behind at the ranch, having been de-
layed by the critical illness and death
of the head of the family, and with
the man employed there quitting the
morning Floyd was taken in custody,
Delbert, a 12-year-old boy, was the
only one left to look after the work
which usually demands the attention
of at least three able men.

WHEN MISSOULA
WAS THE CAPITAL
WAS DARK HORSE WINNER IN
FIGHT AGAINST HELENA
AND ANACONDA.

Scattered about the state are a few
gray haired men who will remember
that for a few days in 1889 Missoula
was the temporary capital of the
state. These men were members of
the constitutional convention of 1889
and aside from the living members
of that ancient assemblage, few will
recall the dignity that was once
Missoula's.
William Muth, of Helena, was a
member of the convention which was
to name the temporary location Of
the capitol until the voters could
settle the question for all time. Hell
n and Anaconda were the chief con-
tenders for the honor, and Missoula's
candidacy was not considered serious
ly. Apparently Helena's interests
were safe, and Mr.. Muth paired with
a supporter of Anaconda and went to
Yellowstone for his vacation. How
ever, after he left Helena the fight
came on again with vigOr and the
claims of Missoula were so we'll pre-
sented that the convention named
that city as the temporary capital.
Friends of Helena then got busy.
They wired Mr.. Muth of the hazard
his town was placed in and asked him
to return at once. Mr.. Muth made
a wild night horseback ride As miles
to the railroad, where a special train
was waiting for him. The special
made a fast run to Helena and he
reached the convention hall just as
roll was being called.
The return of Muth was followed
by the effort to reconsider the Mis-
sOula vote and with Mr.. Muth voting
the motion to reconsider won by just
n vote.
Three years later the vote was
taken. In the meantime, besides An
aconda and Helena, Butte, Missoula,
Great Falls and Bozeman were cam
didates and under the law the two
highest of all these c~ontenders were ,
to be voted on at the first general !;
following the first contest. !.
Helena and Anaconda were chosen as
the final contenders, and the final :
vote was taken in 1894, Helena win :
:
1t was a great fight. Marcus DAILY, :
champion of Anaconda, was then :
at the zenith of his power and pres =
tige. Until he entered the contest, :
had all the best of it, and !.
here was a time when it looked as
Anaconda would be the vic
or. Then William A. Clark, who
