for Europe in March the Alabama
legislature adopted g. resolution ia

acknowledging that token OF his own

would have something to say as to
his inclirations and plans when he re-
turned from his transatlantic trip.

Opposed by stockmen.
The proposal to add to the park the
Teton mountains. now embraced in

an area OF about 1900 square miles.
has been agitated for several years
throughout the west and by the
thousands who visit the park annu-
ally. Stockmen In Wyoming, how
over, have opposed the move. The
Teton region now is reserved largely
because of it's being a refuge for elk.
These animals are increasing in
number and the stockmen see the
time when the area will be thrown
open to them.
A bill to add the Teton region to
the park was introduced in the last
Congress, but not acted on.

A Memorable Session
This session of the Montana as
sembly was unique in political his
tory. The democratic members bolt
ed and continued as absentees. In
the meantime, Senator w. A. Clark
of Butte, and Martin Maginnis OF
Helena, had been named as United
States senators by the eight recall
citrant democratic members of the
state senate and the democratic house
including five contested representa-
tives from Silver Bow county, all
meeting in joint session. The con-
test over the United States senator
ship was then transferred to congress
and referred to its committee on priv
ileges and elections. On March "a,
1890, that committee submitted its
report, recommending that Wilbur
F. Sanders and T. G. Power be .ad-
to seats in the United States
senate from the state OF Montana.
Senator Power drew the long term
and Senator Sanders the short term.

Senator Power served six years
in the upper house of congress, and
proved one of the most practical
statesmen and legislators in that dis
tinguished body. He was a member
of the most important committees
while in the senate and was enabled
to do effective service and to shape
important legislation relating to the
Among the committees
on which he served were public lands,
mines and mining, railroads and
transportation. He brought about

of the state agricultural college at
Bozeman by securing needed appro-
priations.
Public Interest Never Ceased
At the expiration of his term in
the senate, Senator Power returned
to Helena and devoted his energies
to the supervision of his wide and
far-reaching interests, at the same
time taking an active and always per-
ceptible interest in the affairs of the
city and state.
Senator Power was married to
Miss Mary G. Flannagen of Dubuque,
Iowa, in 1867. One son, Charles Ben
ton Power, was born to them. After
finishing his education at George

THE LATE SENATOR POWERS FAvORITh PHoTOGRAPH-senator
Power was one O a group of 10 or more men, nearly all of whom have
passed to their reward, who, during the past half century, stood against the
he was very young. When the glory of Fort Benton as the river metropolis
of the northwest wa at its zenith, Senator Power was the master Of river
transportation. After establishing a mercantile house at Fort Benton he
built a small steamboat to ply between his source of supplies and Fort Ben
ton. Out of this grew the famous "Block 2" line OF river steamboats,, which
carried sustenance and comfort to many thousands on the frontier. he
established trading POSTS in various sections Of the stat and speedily be-.
came the merchant prince of Montana, a position that he held, in spite OF
changing times, at the time of his passing. He will go down in history
with such pioneer super-men as Marcus Da1y,s Senator w. A. Clark, and
Colonel Broadwater. .H~
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-03-29

and he, together with /. G. and Geo,
A. Baker, of the firm of 1. G. Baker
and brother, of Fort Benton, built
the steamer Benton. The venture
proved all that was anticipated for
it, and in 1876 Senator Power con
structed and launched OF the upper
Missouri river the steamer Helena,
and followed this with another boat
which was named Butte. In 1878 he
purchased and added to his fleet of
river boats the steamer Black Hills.
Quickly Widens His Activities
No n in the territory was quicker
to see and grasp an opportunity than
was Senator Power. The overland
freight and passenger service be-
tween Fort Benton and Helena was
very extensive, especially during the
autumn when a large number of
miners left for eastern states by way
of Fort Benton and the steamboat
and Mackinac routes. During this
period he operated stage lines be-
tween Fort Benton and Helena, and
Fort Benton and Billings, which
proved successful enterprises. He al
SO greatly extended his merchandise
business by establishing stores at

A Builder of Helena
In 1878 Senator Power established
his home in Helena. His efforts in be-
half of his home town were far-reach-
ing and effective in all directions
looking to it's advancement. He was
among the first to recognize its fu-
ture possibilities, and he demon
strated his faith by investing large
capital in substantial and enduring
business blocks. One of these several
buildings is the Power block at Sixth
and Main streets. Occupying a por-
tion of the grade floor is the Amer
lean National bank, a fiduciary insti-
tuition of which he was one of the
principal founders and for many
years president. He was elected
chairman of the board a few years
ago. He was a leading factor in the
successful construction of the Hell
ena waterworks, now owned by the
municipality. He was also identified
with stock growing activities to a
large extent, and was interested in
some of the best equipped stock
farms in Montana.
A Leader in Politics
OCndIOl L OWOl was mOl6 VI lCoo
connected with politics since he first
located in Montana. He was a con-
sistent republican, and was counted
as one of the party leaders and as an
adviser whose careful judgment and
keen perceptions assisted in turning
many contests into victory when de-
feat seemed almost certain. He was
a candidate for public office on sew
eral occasions and experienced de-
feat but once. This was when, in
1888, he was a candidate for COVER
nor. The state then was strongly
democratic, and the opposition ticket
was swept to victory. In 1878 he
was elected to the first territorial
constitutional convention and in 1884
he was chosen delegate to the ma
tional republican convention.
Elected to u. s. Senate
1t was during the first session of
the Montana legislature, in January,
1890, that Senator Power and the
late Wilbur F. Sanders were elected
to the United States senate. On De-
81, 1889, the thirty-ninth
lay of the session, proceedings were
in both houses of the assem- I
ply for the election of Montana's first
.wo senators. Mr.. Sanders received {

the latter's vast business enterprises
and in recent years gradually took

Man of Honor and Integrity

endeavor successfully conducted in
the upbuilding of a great state, to his
fostering of civic enterprise, and hat

Not only in the various spheres
which have been mentioned did SEN
ator Power achieve distinction, but
in the common affairs of life he
discharged every duty and contrib
uted largely of his means to religion
and to charity. In private social
relations he was companionable and
most agreeable as a neighbor and
friend.

DEMOCRACY
Endangered BY Careless
Law Making

Seattle.-Our structure of govern
ment is endangered when any branch
of it is brought into such disrepute
with the people generally as is the
case with our present state legisla-
ture, says w NJ. Short, president of
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, writing in the official bulletin
of that organization.
"The dissatisfaction with the legis-
lature is not confined to any particular
group, but each session sees an in
creasing number of people from every
walk of life leaving the capitol dis
gusted with the legislature"
President Short advances several
theories for this condition, and de-
clares that it is neither practicable
nor possible to take 81 people for the
lower house and ~ for the senate,
chosen from every walk of life, and
assemble them together once every
two years for a period of so days, and
expect them to give the necessary
thought and time, and apply the legis-
lative skill necessary to the proper en-
actment of our laws, and dispose of
from 800 to 500 bills in that short
period with no opportunity for pre-
vious thought and consideration. Yet
this is the condition that obtains"
The trade unionist recommends that
the legislative system be replaced by
one legislative body, and that the state
be redistricted, with mandatory re-
districting after every census. The
new legislative body should remain
in session at least nine months of the
year and salary of not less than
$500 should be paid members.

STINGS GARY
Criticism Forces Steel Trust
Head on Defensive

New York.-The whirlwind of pro-
test against Judge Gary's immigra-
ton policy has forced him on the de-
fensive for the first time in his
career.
He Insists that he does not favor
unrestricted immigration, and called
newspaper reporters to his office that
they might make public the glad It'd

The Judge quoted from his steno-
graphic notes of his speech at meet
ing of the steel stockholders, in which
he objected to the immigration law

two words were overlooked by his
critics.
The incident is significant. 1t shows
the power of publicity and constant

stung by the criticisms, he would
never invite newspaper men to his
office to hear him explain.
Under the law that he objects to,
check is placed on unrestricted i'm

countries are yet untitled, but Judge
