sition stage would be seen on the
main road passing the ranch.
1t was then quick loading, out
Through the pasture, the horses on
a gallop. Then up the hill that
rises high and steep above the foot
of the lake. Here was where good
driving counted. The man who
knew how to get the most of his
team was the man who won this
uphill race. But that last steep
climb brought the stage to the end
of the pull and the final two miles
was down a good, steep grade.
Here is where occurred the awful
runs referred to above. The stages
swung up to the landing and pas
sengers and baggage were speel-
lily transferred to the steamer. The
excitement of the race was ended
and the pleasant lake ride was
ahead.
While the racing business was
exciting, it was hard on livestock,
and Allard decided that Their was a
better way to kill off the opposi-
ton. He cut rates. The cut was
speedily met by the opposition and
another reduction followed, only
to be met by the rival line. Then
Allard offered to carry passengers
and baggage for nothing. The
other line met this but failed to Of
fer any bonus and Allard had the
trade. 1t was not profitable for
three weeks, but by that time the
rival line had surrendered and the
Allard line was alone in the bust
ness once again.
Matters settled down into the old
ruts and the service continued until
the railway line of the Great
Northern through the Flathead
country north of the lake was op-
ened and the stage and steamer
business thus destroyed
The Allard stages, with the ex-
exception of one crack rig, were
sold by him to lines operating in
other parts of the state, while the
drivers as a rule settled down upon
farms and devoted the remainder
of their lives to the quiet occupa-
tons of farming or stock raising.

SAYS EARLY SPAWNING
MEANS EARLY WINTER

The early spawning of trout this
season is an indication of early win
ter, according to w. r. Binko, who
was recently a Missoula visitor from
his outing ranch in the Blackfoot val
ley. Mr.. Binko operates a private
hatchery together with his other in
terests in the Blackfoot region.
He said that the Dolly Warden
trout had already started to go up
the smaller streams to spawn, that
they usually spawn earlier than the
native brook trout. The indications
are that the brook trout will start
spawning about the middle of Oc-
tober, he said.
Mr.. Binko states that there are
conditions OF water that give the
fish warning OF climatic conditions,
and that when there is an early win
ter the trout always spawn earlier In
the season.

Foot OF Road Agent

irginia City Cafe

The foot OF an ordinary human
being is not an object of much at
tention. But, when that foot is
the pedal extremity of road agent
VINO died swinging at the end of
rope in 1854, and is In addition a
club foot, 1t becomes a real curl
osity.
In glass case, at Walkers soft
drink parlor, down at Virginia City,
there is on exhibition just such a
foot. and, as an exhibit. it is proving
more than the usual attraction.
This particular foot once formed
part of the body of "Clubfoot"
George Lane, who with four of his
fellows was hanged by the Vigilantes
at Virginia City In 1864. 1t is well
preserved as is the bit of wooden
sock which clings to it, The story of
how this foot found its way into
glass case when 1t properly belonged
with the rest OF the body in the quiet
grave, dates back 20 years to the
time when Jim Walker was mayor of
Virginia City.
Mayor Walker decided that the

ing on. the brow of hill overlooking
the city, should be properly marked.
When the time arrived for this mark
ing, there arose a heated dispute as
to the identity of the bones resting in
each grave: and to settle the contro-
versy, A. B. Davis, at one time cap
tain OF the Junction vigilantes was
called in. Mr.. Davis had braved the
power of the road agents, and had
placed the rope around the neck of
George Ives, the first outlaw, to be-
come subject to the quick and sure
Vigilante justice in Montana. The
captain had also participated In the
execution of Clubfoot George and his
desperate companions.
Pointin gto one of the graves, Mr..
Davis declared that g Clubfoot y
George rested there Other members
of the marking party disagreed with
the captain. The body was disin-
TERED and the club foot OF Lane was
found. the word OF Davis was taken
as authentic for the rest of the mark
ing of the graves.

~ elected corner Of the Allard
ranch on Mud creek in the Flat
head reservation an old stage
coach. 1t was dilapidated as to
cover and boot; its upholstery was
in tatters; the paint was gone from
its wheels and running gear, and
the body was defaced and worn.
Weeds grew up among the spokes
and the pole furnished roost for
poultry. Nests of motherly hens
occupied corners where once sat
passengers during the fast drives
from the Northern Pacific station
at Selfish across the reserve to the
foot of Flathead lake, and there
was little about the rig to in
dictate that it was at one time the
crack turnout of the Allard stage
line which at one time did such a
big transportation business on the
route that furnished the only inlet
to the Flathead valley.
This was the stage that was in
demand when the little road across
the reservation was an almost I'M
broken line of wagons and stages
at the time when the territory EN-
braced in northwestern Montana
was in the process of settlement.
1t was in those days that Arthur
Laravie held the reins over six
horses on this trip and this was the
stagecoach that he drove. Young
Joe" Marion was another of the
drivers and Andrew Singer, 4
third. The list of those who
handled the baggage and freight
wagons was long one, but they
were all good reinsmen and the
rivalry between them was great.
This rivalry was intensified when
an opposition line of stages was
placed on the route, and patrons
of this road will readily recall the
exciting races that these drivers
in in their efforts to be
first at the steamer landing at the |
foot of the lake.
These men knew the road per-
fectly and they also knew their
horses. There was one thing that ,
they did not know, and that was
fear. They drove like demons and |
many a timid passenger wished |
that he had walked, as that line of |
stages tore down the hill that
the end of the drive to the |
steamer landing. 1t is long, steep
grade, and has always been taken
ON the run. The horses knew what
the hill meant and they were al
ways ready for it. The moment
hey felt the load come over the
grow Of the hill they were off. |
They needed no urging by the driv-
srs. They knew by experience
what was in store for them and
they entered fully into the spirit of |
the contest.
Once started there was but one
thing for them to do, and that was
to keep on the jump. With the
heavy load behind them, and no
disposition on the part of the driv-
er to use the brake, they had to
nit the road hard to keep out of
the way of the rocking coach that
swayed and swung behind them.
But, with all this reckless driving
there were no accidents on the hill.
Often there would be passengers
aboard who thought that the ride
would be their last, but in some
way or other they always safely
reached the bottom.
At the other end of the road,
approaching the railroad station,
there was another steep and dan
gerous hill. In recent years the
road has been reconstructed and is

at one time drove his stage with
its six-horse team for two weeks
down this hill with the brake brok-
en- so that it would not hold the
wheels. He let the horses go and
guided them down the steep pitch
of half a mile with only his SUI
preme confidence and knowledge
of the road to prevent the instant
deaths of his passengers, for that
would have been their fate had the
heavy stagecoach gone over the
bank into the rough gullies that
bounded it.
When the stage and steamer
line from Selfish station-Ravalli,
it was then called-was first start
ed the Allard line had things all
its own way. This line had the
mail contract and practical mon
opoly on the passenger business.
II is not said that Allard ever abus-
ed this privilege or extorted heavy
fares from his passengers, but il
looked like a good thing and an OPP
position line was installed.
1t was then that the real excite
ment of a trip across the reserva-
ton began. From the moment the
passenger alighted from the rail
way train at Selfish, when he was
pulled and hauled about by the
agents of the rival lines until the
steaming horses pulled up at the
station at the foot of the lake, the
experience was one never to be for
gotten by those who we're part Of
it. 1t was first struggle for the
patronage and then a race for the
boat landing. No time was lost
anywhere and it was a whirl of ex-
citement from start to finish.
When the rival line was started
Allard sent his agent east as far as
Evaro and then the two fought il
out on the train. Tickets were sold
before Selfish was reached and all
that the stage men had to do was
to pick out the passengers that had
been ticketed to them on the train
Once in while rustling runner
of one line would pick out pas
senger who had been sold a ticket
on the rival line. Then there
would be a row. The poor passen-
ger would get the worst Of it by
