The pitifuI story of how a IT,

struggling to support five brothers
and sisters and give them school
ing on the meager wage she is able
to earn in a local business house,
was brought to light when the old

These markers were placed there
in the late nineties by party Of
United States surveyors operating
under an act of congress approved
June 4, 1897, which carried appro-
priations for the sundry civil ex-
penses of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1893.
Along this stretch of 20 miles OF
mountainous country are stationed
four stone monuments and 80 iron
posts. One of the monolithic stone
monuments is placed on the inter
national boundary at its intersec-
ton with the 3oth meridian, one
at the point where the Great Nor
thern railway crosses the state line,
one where the Northern Pacific
railway main track crosses the line
and one where the line crosses the
north bank of the Kootenai river.
These monuments are six feet in
height and 10 inches square, set
three feet in the ground with faces
directed to the cardinal points of
the compass. On the east side they
bear the inscription Montana" in
letters two inches in height, and on
the west side idaho" Such monu-
ments as could not be transported
to the point of location were sawed
into blocks and transported upon
the backs of pack mules.
Between the stone monuments at
prominent SUBMITS, road, trail or
stream crossings, not exceeding a
mile apart and intervisible wher-
ever possible, were planted iron
posts, six feet in length and stand
ing three feet above the surface.
Each post bore a brass cap upon
which was inscribed "Idaho-Mon-
tana boundary line" Under each |
post was placed a stone marked
with charcoal or vial filled with |
ashes.
At points where the rocky for
nation prevented the planting of
such iron posts the surveyors were
-equired to cement a copper plug
n the rock and to erect a truncated
,onical mound of stone, not less
han two and a half feet high and
i've feet broad, about four feet to
he north of the plug. These plugs
we're inscribed "Mont-Ida" and
oriented.

the address of welcome and was re-

mer State Senator w. B. George of

That was four years ago. Two
years ago the mother died. Then, in
search of work, his resources at an
end. the father was compelled to go
to the coast to look for employment.
Occasionally he finds it. Whatever
pittances he can send to his children
he sends. But they are far between
and at best far from being sufficient.
In the meantime, the 17-year-old
girl, inexperienced and without
mothers guiding hand. is attempting
to bring up her brothers and sisters
in the manner that she believes her
mother would have done. But that
is not easy when one has to work
from until 6. and then go home

When asked what he had to eat
for breakfast, the boy at the police
station answered. nothing" He
said that all they had to eat, it
seemed, was potatoes. He spoke as
though his sister was to blame, but
the officers knew better. They knew
that girls salary would not stretch
very far for six mouths, and she has

Had it not been for the boy, who

/ Transportation was provided BY

work was greatly retarded during
the first summer by smoke, and
by snow early in the fall. The sea-
sons accomplishment. consisted OF
the triangulation from Spokane to
the boundary line, a distance of 70
miles, and the location of the inter
section of the 3oth meridian with
the international boundary.
The latter was accomplished by
identifying the Mooyie Trail mon
ument, which had been erected by
surveyors working under the In
ternational boundary commission
in 1858, 1859 and 1860. This mon
ument consisted of a large pile of
partly angular rocks, most of
which had been knocked down in
the meantime by falling trees al
though originally the trees in that
vicinity had been cut down sur.
rounding the monument. 1t was
located near the Mooyie river, 81
miles from Bonner's Ferry, Ida,
and easily reached by the Wild
Horse trail. Although it was 81
miles west of the boundary line be-
tween Montana and Idaho it was
the nearest monument or mark of
any kind near the international
boundary that could be identified
in 1897.
The survey was resumed in June,
1893, with two parties in the field,
but was not completed until Octo-
Der 5, 1899.
Originally the present area of
Montana was included partly in
Louisiana and partly in Oregon,
the dividing line being the crest of
the Rocky Mountains. The terri
tory of Oregon was organized Aug.
IA, 1848, and included the present
states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho and parts of Montana and
The territory of Nebraska, form
ed from part of the Louisiana Pur-
chase, was organized May 80, 1854.

lesota to the continental divide, in
the state of Nebraska and
parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
ana and North and South Dakota.
The Territory of Dakota was
ormed March 2, 1861, from parts
# Minnesota and the territory of
Nebraska, and on March 8, 1868,
he territory of Idaho was formed
# parts of Nebraska, Dakota and
Washington, the latter having been
March 2, 1858 from a
'ortion of the territory of Oregon.
Originally the territory of Idaho
obtained about 324,875 square
niles, but in 1864 it was reduced
5000 square miles by the forna-
ion of the territory of Montana, \
yhich was taken entirely from
daho, and in 1868 was further re-
uced by the formation of the ter
tory of Wyoming, almost all of /
