CONNIE MACK PROPOSAL TO
 BE OPPOSED
MINOR LEAGUE OWNERS WILL FIGHT PROPOSITION TO
 GIVE PLAYERS CUT

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Connie Mack started something when he proposed that bush leaguers sold to majors shall receive a certain percentage of the sale price. The plan did not at tract so much attention at the time it was first put before Commissioner Landis, as the pennant races were at their height then and both fans and players had other things to think of. But now Judge Landis has brought Connie's scheme out for an airing and it is likely to be the subject of a heated discussion at the baseball meetings in December.
 Whether the minor league magnates will approve it, is extremely doubt full and they are the ones who would have to foot the bills unless they were able to include the players cut in the sale price. In the past, where there has been no agreement be- tween players and minor league own CTS, there was no imperative need for the owners to give the ball players a penny, although some have handed over a few smacks when the player refused to be transplanted without coin for his nourishment.
 Suppose player Wilbrock, in small league, is wanted by the New York Tanks. They negotiate and get his services for $1O,OOO. This sum is pocketed in full by the owner of. the minor league club and will probably pay his expenses for the season and continue him in baseball for another year, especially as he may have oth- CT players for sale. The player gets nothing but chance to go up and perhaps a small raise in salary. He must receive some raise under a rule which was passed to prevent some major league owners from giving him less than he received in the bushes That actually happened prior to the order making it compulsory to ad. vance wages with raise in clnssifi- cation.
 Presume the ball player received l $1,0O0 in the minor legue. When he gets into the major league he re- ceives, say $1,5OO. His employer has $10,000 in cash. To get as much out of the deal as the employer got, the ball player would have to work 20 years since his yearly advance was only $500 from what he received when he was busher. It is true that he will undoubtedly get more than that in the long run. If he does not, he won't be much of a ball play CT, but that is the relation between him and his former employer and the major league club to which he is

Little Legislation Is
 Anticipated at Present

WASHINGTON, D. :, Dec. 6.-The action of the Senate Republican con- ference in reading out of the party LaFollette and his supporters has created what several senators des- cribe as an ugly situation of "sour grapes" and since the Bob bloc will continue to hold the balance of the power in the short session now on, leaders generally anticipate little leg islative action before March 4, be- yond the passed of the appropriations bill.

water was very high with a party in
canoes, going by way of Littlewood.
I was in the Canute diggings and
mined close to Yreka. | came down
from the upper Fraser river in the
latter part of November. There was
no feed or grain in the country and
the ranges were burned off by the
Indians.
"I had no success at mining.
worked there on Foster and Nugget
! bars. We subsisted there the last
month on mules flesh straight. l re-
turned to San Francisco and from
there went to Butte county, Califor-
mia, and engaged in mining. | re-
sided two years there and then NOV
ed to Sierra county for a short time
and then returned to Iowa. After a
year in Iowa I started for Idaho.
cit was a very hard matter to get
there in those days-going across the
mountains and travelling the old Null
Ian road. When we arrived at Deer
Lodge the last man who came from
the Idaho diggings told us they were
~overcrowded and that We would have
a good chance to prospect in this
country.
con my way to Idaho I camped at
the mouth of the Blackfoot river and
while there a man named Crawford
wanted a butcher and hearing there
was one in our crowd anne to me and
said they had discovered a good camp
and he wanted to hire men, offering
me $25 a month and board. l ac-
cepted the offer and he bought three
wild heifers and told me to drive
them to the new camp, a distance of
125 miles.
Crawford had the only horse and
so I had to drive the wild heifers to
Bannack. My only provisions on this
trip was a little dried meat and
crackers. I worked at ~butchering in
Bannack for one month at $25 and
board, and worked very hard. At
the end of the first month Crawford
raised my wages to 500 per month.
He afterwards got into a shooting
scrape with Henry Plummer, one Of
the road agents of that time, and shot
Plummer in the arm, shattering the
bones.
ga vigilance committee had been
organized in which Crawford was in
terested and threats were made
against his life, which led to the
shooting scrape with Plummer. Craw-
ford was compelled to leave the

ton it appears that gold was found
there in the middle of July, 1852.
A man whom history has known
only as Harlbert, one of a party of
prospectors who came up the Mis-
souri, river, discovered the Prickly
Pear diggings at the point where
Montana City was afterwards built.
Harlbert was not very popular with
his fellow miners for the reason that
he had for a partner a negro with
whom he ate and slept, a fact which
greatly prejudiced him in the minds
of his fellow adventurers.
While it does not appear that there
was any great rush to these diggings
several hundred men were engaged
for a considerable time in working
the gravel along Prickly Pear creek,
they c%entering at the point where the
town of Montana City was built.
Evidently the miners of that To-
cality expected big things of this dis
trict, as a townsite company was in
corporated and a townsite was laid
out within which many crude log and
frame structures were erected.
The years 1864 and 1866 seem to
have been the times of greatest pros
perity at Montana City, and in The
Montana Post, the pioneer newspaper
of the territory published at Virginia
City, there appeared in the issue of
October l., 1864, a communication
from Montana City under the date of
September IS, 1854, as follows:
Montana City is a new town, only
surveyed last week. 1t already con-
tains eight houses finished and Is
are being built, while rs or 80 will

try. / had no trouble about paying
my debts after that.
1.-THE next spring a Methodist
preacher brought a lot of pigs from
Salt Lake to Virginia City and i
bought them for $25 per head, and
took them to Summit. About a
month later l bought another lot
that was in the spring of ga. When
fall came / sold what / had left of
my pigs for $4,000. 1 had no feed
for them and could not keep them.
"In the fall of "a 1 sold out my
shop in Alder gulch and went into
the business of buying cattle and fur
nishing the butchers. In the spring
of IS 1 started a shop in Helena. In
the fall l bought a lot of poor work
cattle and sent them down to Deer
Lodge to Craze. I put all of my
money into them. I bought all of
my cattle on time in those days
from a week to 80 days-waiting for
the butchers to pay me.
81 saw in the SPRING of IS that cat
tie were going to be scarce, and l
borrowed $4,000 of George Forbes
in Virginia City and with it bought
$4,000 worth of cattle from various
parties, paying enough down to make
the trades good. In the spring of '65
l had all the beef in the country in
my hands. Flour at this time was
selling for $3.50 a pound. But 1 did
not take any advantage of it and
sold my beef at a reasonable price.
Meat that I bought at the rate of 10
cents per pound l sold for 20 cents.
81 rode in those days many times
125 miles per day, keeping several
relay horses stationed about the
country. Afterwards I made an
other big purchase of cattle from the
San Joaquin valley, California, about
1900 head, paying $24 per head, and
made a nice profit on them.
ION August %, 1866. I bought
Grant out. The Grant herd was the
first breeding herd I had. There
were 365 head in that lot and I paid
$19,500 for them. The range was
located then where I now live (1885)
about a half mile north of Deer
Lodge"

country after this, so 1 was thrown
on my own resources.
81 bought some poor work cattle
that had been driven into the country
from Minnesota and took them to
Deer Lodge valley, where 1 traded
them off for beef cattle and got my
start in the cattle business in that
way. Another party came in with
20 head of steers and wanted to sell.
l 'rustled' around, borrowed the
money and paid him. I sent them
up on Grasshopper creek and the
following day the Chipeta Indians
took them all; they stole everything
in that country.
"Well, this put me head over heels
in debt. l kept IN at my business
at Bannack, however, and went to the
man of whom I had borrowed the
money to pay for these cattle and
told him the only way for him to get
his money back was to loan me some
more, and l went to Deer Lodge and
bought a little herd of 20. 1t was
not a week before five head were
stolen by these Indians.

II worked along and got pretty
near out of debt, but all the money
went on the books. / had the books
full and had no money. At this time
I got a letter from Grant (John II.

he wanted me to send him the money

money so l remained broke.

George Gohn, who is in Virginia City

brush shanty where Main street now
is. 1t was not long before the dust

the Sinking Water, which is now

little jack on this trip that I used
to peddle meat in Virginia City. After
this I had a little money and went
to Deer Lodge and paid off all my
debts with the exception of one debt
of $I,100. I had $4,000 when I
went there: $1,100 to pay off old
debts, and $1,100 to buy more cat

STORY OF CON KOHRS; GAME TO MONTANA PENMDLESS
EM1GRANT BOY; WHEN HE DIED WAS WORTH A M0LlION

TUST OUTSIDE the little city OF
Deer Lodge stands the old home
- OF Conrad Kohrs, for many years
the cattle king of Montana, and
whose cattle by the thousands roam
ed the ranges in southwestern, cen-
tral and northern Montana.
The old house, of which the ac-
companying cut was taken from a
rough sketch made in the early days,
was built in 1862 by John H. Grant,
a pioneer stockman, and was known
as Johnny Grants place. Along with
the ranch and cattle, the house was
bought by Kohrs in 1866 and there
he lived for many years until he re-
moved to Helena during the latter
years of his life and where he died
July %, 1920, at the age of IS, one
of the wealthy men of Montana.
Kohrs took to the sea in his boy
hood, later coming to America where
he engaged unsuccessfully for sew
oral years in placer mining in the
west, and then drifted into the but
cher business, in connection with
which he was several times down and
out but persevered and finally was
rated as a millionaire.
During his early days in Montana
his stock was stolen by the Indians
and he was unable to collect for
much of the meat he sold to the
miners. 1t is told of him that in the
fall of 1863, while on his way to
Deer Lodge to repay money he had
borrowed from Grant, he had a mar
row escape from robbery and death
at the hands of bandits. He had
stopped overnight at Camp creek
and while hunting for his saddle
horse the next morning was inform
cd by a half-breed herder that two
men who had been there the previous
night were after him.
Kohrs had a large sum in gold
dust and naturally felt anxious. He
mounted his horse and dashed away
towards Deer Lodge, 81 miles dis
tant. Two horsemen soon came gal
Looping after him. He lightened his
load by throwing away his blanket
and overcoat and the race for life
continued to Deer Lodge, covering
the distance in six hours and arriv-
ing there Is minutes ahead of his
pursuers. Later Kohrs was a mem
Der of a Vigilance band which cap-l
tured one of the pair in the Big Hole,
and the other, Bill Bunting, later
paid the penalty of numerous crimes
on the gallows.
In 1885 Mr.. Kohrs was induced to
write a brief history of his eventful
life in the pioneering days from
which the following most interesting
features are quoted: l
IT was born in Holstein, Germany,
in 1885. At the age of IA years I
left Germany and followed a s~eafar-
ing life until the fall of 1852, when
I came to New York. I remained
there until December, 1853, and
went thence to Davenport, Iowa,
where I remained until 1857, and
then started for California. 1 re-
manned there a short time and then
went to the Fraser river, during the
gold excitement there. I went up
the river in the summer when the

REAPS of Montana show upon the
MI Butte line of the Great North
AvA ern railway at a point about
seven miles southeast of Helena a
station by the rather imposing name
of Montana City. In spite of the
prominence thus given the station the
trains never stop there, there are no
depot or station buildings and the
only indication the traveller sees of
a stopping point is a sign board bear
ing the name Montana City,"
Nothing in the immediate vicinity
of the sign post appears to the eye
of the traveller which would indicate
the proximity of a city, a town or
wen a hamlet. Not a building is in
sight-not a stick of timber which
might suggest that it was once a part
of a Notwithstanding but the sign
post, a stretch of serrated ground
such as is common where placer dig
gings once existed, and the railroad
track following the course of Prickly
Pear creek into the mountains.
Yet Montana City was once a town
of such promising Importance that
it served for a short time as the first
county seat of Jefferson county.
1t was in 1862, before the discov-
cry of gold in Last Chance gulch
which resulted in the building of the
city of Helena, that gold was first
discovered where Montana City once
stood but stands no more. Histories
of Montana have very little to say
about Montana City for the reason
that gold was not found in any great
quantities and the deposits were
soon worked out, but from what lit
tie has been written of this opera
