The missionaries explained, as best
they could, and assured them the
seeds would produce an hundredfold.
The Indians were not disposed to
credit this statement. But when the
grain began to sprout, they spent
whole days perched on the fence, to
watch the growing, and find out if

The Montana wool growers who
sold or contracted the sale of their
1924 wool clips early in the sea-
son have sustained a loss of ST.
100000 on the basis of the present
wool market, declared Matt Staff,
president of the National Wool
Warehouse & Storage company of
Chicago, who has been in Montana
druing the past few weeks. Mr..
Staff adds that ii growers permit
themselves to be stampeded into
contracting their 1925 wool clips,
ever at offers of "a cents now be-
ing received, they will stand to
lose an ven greater amount next
year.
Three weeks ago, agents of east
ern commission houses were offering
IN Montana to contract for next
years clips at 81 cents, and in a few
instances wool was contracted, on
that basis. Mr.. Staff sent wires from
his Chicago office to all wool grow
ers' associations in the western states
advising against contracting their
clips in advance of the season next
year, on the ground that the ten
dency of the market at the present
time, taking into consideration he
strong position of wool throughout
the world, was higher prices would
be obtained in 1925. AS a result of
this advice, the same commission
agents are now offering to contract
for 1925 wool clips at As cents, said
Mr.. Staff. This advance of seven
cents a pound would amount to
~$1,300,000 on the estimated produc-
ton of wool in Montana in 1925, Mr..
Staff declared.
AS an illustration of the loss sus-
tanned by Montana growers this year,
Mr.. Staff submitted the following
statement respecting a large Montana
clip, running about $3.50 fine and
fine medium and ha1f-blood:
This wool was shipped early in
August to owners orders, Boston, but
was sold in transit to a Boston deal

The money question at length set
tied, two Jesuits, Fathers Point and
Mengarini were appointed to the
mission. Father Point, who was born
in the French Ardennes, chose a re-
ligious life, although Marshall Ney
had offered to adopt him. After
coming to America, he founded a col
lege at Grand Coteau, but left it for
the Indian work. Father Mengarini,
a native Roman, was a physician, a
musician, and a remarkable linguist.
With Father De Smet and these two
missionaries, went also three lay
brothers and three laborers.
They left for their new post, the
last of April, 1S41, travelling from
Westport with a company of sixty
men, most of whom were on their way
to the California gold fields, the
route followed being that Father De

A NUMBER of years ago, the Pl
"A oneers of Montana held theil
n annual meeting at Missoula. AS
is customary on such occasions, en-
t%ertainment was provided by the city
for it's guests. There were drives tC
different points of historical interest
in the vicinity, and a banquet, with
its o%ratorical accompaniments con-
Guided the program.
One of the excursions undertaken
was to Stevensyille, with it's neigh
boring Fort Owen, and the church OF
st. Mary's. 1t was an ideal autumn
day, and the beautiful Bitter Root
valley at the foot of Mount Lolo, won
it's need of praise from the visitors
who saw it for the first time, as
they were driven rapidly southwark
to their destination. They were Ia
ken in carriages, not in automobiles,
and consequently were a longer time
in reaching Stevensyille than would
be required for the same journey to-
day. This was an advantage, as it
gave the excursionists, myself in
Guided, a better opportunity to OBJ
serve everything along the way.
We passed Fort Owen, which was
pointed out to us, yet did not stop
there, but crossed the river to Stew
ensville, where we were most hos
pitably received, and then went IN to
the little church which played so i'm
portant a part in the development of
the Bitter Root country To most of
the visitors it appeared to be a rath-
er insignificant structure, that we
were informed had been erected at an
early date for the Indians, with such
additional knowledge concerning
it as we chose to gather from those
who would impart it.
There was nothing especially strik-
ing about the interior of this church
except the realistic paper roses that
adorned the altar, and that we
learned were made by Father Ravalli,
a priest of whom even Protestants
had heard favorable mention. The
roses attracted US, and might all have
been taken as souvenirs had they not
been jealousy guarded. One alone,

ELK FLEEING FROM
THREATENED
WITH SLAUGHTER
EMPHASIZES NEED OF PRESERVE
TO PREVENT ANNIHILATION
OF WYOMING GAME
Jackson Hole Upper Reaches Would
Make Ideal Winter Range to Save
Moose, Antelope, Elk and others;
Slaughter Threatened.

Recent press dispatches from
Wyoming cities, should interest
every big game loer in the West,
for they emphasize once again the
imperative need of action to pre-
serve the last big game herds. The
dispatch tells how elk, driven from
the highlands of Yellowstone park
II the surrounding region by the
early winter storms of great Sc
verify, are pouring into Jackson
Hole in Wyoming for shelter and
food.
These animals are falling prey to
wholesale slaughter by hunters, and
Wyoming authorities are considering
the advisability of closing the hunt
ing season to save them.
If the elk, moose and antelope now
protected within the Yellowstone
park and the forest reserves ada
cent to it are to be saved from ex-
termination; if the big game is not
to disappear, to be known in future
only in museum specimens, pictures,
and the stories of "old-timers," con-
g%ressional action is needed to pro-
vide a guarded winter range. For,
every winter these animals, facing

gions of the park where snow drifts
too deeply to permit them to paw for
their food, flee to the low lands.
There they perish by the thousands.
The yearly loss depends upon the Sc
verify of the winter. In mild winters
not so many come out, but severe
storms always send them stampeding
into the hole. There they are shot

dubbed to death by ranchers, who
kill neither for food nor sport, but
to protect their hay stacks. 1t is
uncommon sight to see slaught-
cred elk lying beside a rancher's hay
stack, beaten down with a club and
left there.
Hole is Ideal For Winter Range.
Several suggestions have been
made for converting into a winter
range the upper portion, at least, of
Jackson Hole. 1t is an ideal region.
Nature has ordained it as a perpetual
game refuge. A broad, level
plain fifty miles long and protected
by the Absaroka, eros Ventre and
Teton mountain ranges, the hole is
not promising agricultural or graz
ing land. 1t is composed of a gla-
cial deposit and no New England
ever yielded more boulders than
turn up to the pillow of the would
be rancher in the Hole. There are
ranchers in it, and those who are
find living %precarious for the
most part.
1t has been suggested first, that
he government buy out those ranch
,rs in the portion of the Jackson
Hole nearest the Yellowstone park
convert that section into a win
er range for game, either with or
without hunting privileges. Most OF
hose interested in the proposal ia
ror limited hunting, as it is deemed
possible to make the Hole a
hunters paradise, and at the same
ime to conserve the wild animals.
The matter may be placed before
congress this winter together with
he proposal to add the Teton range
0 the Yellowstone park. This de-
somewhat on the success that
5 had in overcoming the local oppo-
ition to the movement.

GAMBLING ORDER DEMANDS
STRICT ENFORCEMENT

All fieldmen were instructed to en-
force strict observance of the Egg
Gambling Order by Commissioner of
Markets, Edward Nordman, at a
meeting held in his Office June %.
According to officials of the depart
ment the recent hot weather has
caused serious deterioration in the
quality of Wisconsin eggs and all
dealers must candle the eggs re-
ceived carefully, remove those which
are understandable, and place candl-
ing certificates on the cases from
now until January l, 1925.
This order was issued by the
Marketing Division to insure the
quality of Wisconsin eggs on the
large central markets. During warm
weather Wisconsin eggs sell for
several cents more per dozen than
those of neighboring states. This is
due to the fact that they show less
heat loss and fewer rots. In order
to preserve our reputation for good
eggs dealers must eliminate the poor
quality stock and farmers must
take care to see that no stale or rot
ten stuff is brought to market. If
Wisconsin eggs sell for more they
must be worth more, and careless
producers who deliver poor stuff are
not only injuring themselves but are
beating down the price on all eggs
sold. Wisconsin can produce a high
quality product, and the cooperation
of the producers in caring for the
egg before it is marketed with the
dealers who closely candle all eggs
bought will be of advantage to both
in higher prices and more satisfac-
tory business relations.
