people of Montana, and the roads re-
quest was never seriously considered
by the territorial legislature. Jay
Cooke, famous for his financial col
lapse, had been the Northern Pac-
ific's first promoter in the financial
world.
Some of the troubles Inese rail
roads brought upon themselves we're
due not so much to the lack Of COW
eted subsidies, but rather to the ar
rant misconduct of those who were
in the construction rings. The Nor
thern Pacific was operated for years
over long stretches of lines in Mon
tana which were hopelessly distant
the states center of traffic and
tonnage. That the road ultimately
went into bankruptcy was not
strange; rather the wonder that it
able SO long to keep its chin
above the waters of disaster.
AS for the state government, it
had no obligations and was not ev-
en- remotely related to the fortunes
good or i'll, of the railroads treas
ury. There was a good-sized contro-
versy of public moment, however,
was kept up for a long time. 1t
involved the states title to the min
9ral domain. During several years
his was a rather lively issue. Ulti-
it reached the supreme court
at Washington. The state won and

THE FUTILE EFFORTS OF RAILROAD PROMOTERS
TO FORCE SUBSIDIES FROM LEGISLATURE OF
MONTANA TERRITORY BN THE Late SEVENTIES

IN AILROADS did not figure
ER among the subjects with which
= Montana legislatures had to
deal in early territorial days. The
seat of government was at Bannack
and those who assembled there to
solve the problems Of the territory
and start the wheels of the common
wealth in motion, knew of no ia
cilities for traffic or travel other than
those Whichthe stage route, the pack
train and the steamboat afforded.
These primitive resources were am
pie for the requirements of the times.
The first territorial legislature,
which in December, 1864, met in
Bannack in rude quarters, had sew
en- members in its upper house.
No phase of r~ailroading presented
itself in Montana's legislature until
the territorial government was about
a dozen years old. Then the rail
way problem came upon this region
with a rush and in a manner which
caused stirring times within legis-
lative circles. By that time, Ban
mack, as the states metropolis, had
passed; Virginia City had in turn,
ceased to be the seat of government,
and Helena was the capital town of
the territory.
Along in the seventies, Jay Gould,
famous in railroad annals, was push
ing the Union Pacific railroads line
at least he was looking after the
financial end of the project. His
proposition was to build an extension
of the Utah and Northern into Mon
tana and, naturally enough, it oc-
Cured to him that he might get a
lift if the scheme were laid before
the Montana legislature and proper
ly worked.
The proposition was that the mar
row-guage line be pushed to Silver
Bow Junction, or to Butte, and that
in return for this blessing the terri
tory issue bonds to the amount of
$1,000 600 as a subsidy for the bene-
fit of those who proposed to build
the road. The railroad had an ac-
tive lobby at Helena during the leg
islative assembly that convened in
January, 1876. The usual palaver
e%loquently urged; there was no
measuring the benefits Montana

ETideou8 Coyote Robs
HEN Roosts i'm Eastern
StateS DefieS Firearms

The ranchers near Mecaha,
north Of Milestone, have been hunt
ing a queer animal, thought to be
a o between a coyote and a
wolf, which has been robbing hen
rOosts and killing turkeys and
small pigs in that vicinity.
1t is said that the creature is
larger than the ordinary coyote and
is almost black in color. It seems to
be afflicted with the mango, for al
though his coat seems to be thick and
heavy, there is no hair on its tail,
which gives 1t an unusually hideous
appearance. One rancher said that
he had a chance to shoot it but re-
Trained when he saw the condition
of its tail, thinking he would have
an opportunity TO kill it later in the
season when it had recovered from
the mango, and it's coat was per-
feet. Two or three days after this
the same rancher lost a number OF
chickens and upon watching, dis
covered the same coyote sneaking
around his pig pen. He went to the
house for his gun, but upon his re
turn found that the animal had dis
appeared and has not since een him.
However, he has boldly maze his ap-
pearance at several other ranches in
the neighborhood in daylight, and
has robbed numerous flocks of chick
ems. Several ranchers have tried to
shoot him, but he seems to have an
uncanny knowledge of fire arms and
keeps out of sight when there is a
gun in the neighborhood.

These we're the first sheep brought
over the mountains from the west,
and were also the first to be intro
duced into this part of the terri
tory. The band was placed on the
Boulder river range, and grazed there
for three years after which they were
taken to the ranges Of the then Cho-
teau county, but now Cascade coun-
ty. Mr.. Kingsbury and his partners
remained in that line of business I'M
til 1873, when they added cattle
raising to their business, and in 1882
they organized the Choteau Live
stock company, with Mr.. Kingsbury
as active general manager. This en-
terprise was successful and many
thousand head Of cattle and sheep
were handled and marketed.
In 1892 the Big Sag Sheep com
pany was organized, Mr.. Kingsbury
being chosen president, and this
corporation has done a large bust
ness in the handling Of sheep and
cattle since that time. It has been
one of the important factors in the
development of that industry in the
state. Mr.. Kingsbury, was at all
times keenly interested in all pro-
gressive steps toward the develop
ment Of his community, and was
counted one of the worthy empire
builders of the early West.

DAUGHTER REGIONS FATHER
AFTER ~ YEARS ABSENCE

David Kaskrin, of Butte, was in
Whitehall recently for a brief visit
with his daughter, Mrs. Roy Floyd,
and husband. Mr.. Kaskrin had not
heard or seen of his daughter since
the latter's babyhood and the re-
cent meeting was indeed a happy
one. He lost the sight of both eyes
in a mine explosion about 20 years
ago and the mother, unable to care
for the MANNED husband and child,
was compelled to give up the little
one and place in the care of an or
phan asylum. Mrs. Kaskrin died five
years later. 1t was only through a
fortunate turn of luck that Mrs.
Floyd was able to locate her father
and made possible the recent meet
The latter had resided in the
city all these years, but be-
cause of unfortunate circumstances
unable to locate his child.

would reap from the building of the
road; in comparison with these the
million and a half was the merest
b~agatelle, it was urged. Just the
same this big bundle of debt looked
ominous to the people of the terri
tory within which, by the official
census returns, there we're only 20,-
600 people.
Two legislative sessions dealt with
this bonding proposition. In the
session of 1876 the scheme was car
ried in the council, but it went to it's
death in the house. The bill pro
vided that the subsidy be paid over
to Charles J.. Richardson, ct al"
One of the characters in the house
vas Major Graham, who was joint
member from Deer Lodge and Mis-
soula counties. Graham was not par
ticularly faithful in his attendance
at the sessions, but he was on hand
when, in the closing hours of the
legislatures career, the subsidy bill
came up for final action. The ma
jor got to the floor and caught the
speakers eye.
"I DESIRE" he said, TO make a
parliamentary inquiry. l wish to
know who Charles J.. Richardson is.
I know who 'et al is-that is Sam
Hauser."
The narrow-guage subsidy was
lost, but the road was built just the
same. It's projectors had intended
all the while to build it, but the
play for the subsidy was one which
they deemed worth while.
A couple of years later the subsidy
proposition presented itself in an
other form. The promoters of the
Northern Pacific railroad had man
aged to build their road as far
west as Bismarck. The road, in it's
westward course, had had its share

Wizards meteoric management it was

One Famous Doctors
Experience

Less than 1870 of the cases exam
ined by Dr.. H. T. Turner, eminent
specialist, were found to be free from
the insidious ravages of constipation.
Like a thief in the dark, it attacks its
victims, robbing them of brain ener-
! gy, physical strength, and vitality of
life itself.
If you could only recognize this
menace in time; if you could only see
the terrible results of it's neglect
but read this experince of Doctor
Turner's. 1t is not at all an excep-
tional case, but, as he himself says,

This man and many others, says
Doctor Turner, had regular evacua-
tions of the bowels each day. How
could they know the d%eplorable con-
diiton of the intestines-the condi-
ton that caused the doctor to say;

Death recently claimed one of
Great Falls earliest pioneers
when A. w. Kingsbury, died at
his home in that city. He was
perhaps one of the best known
figures in Montana when the state
was in the making, and for nearly
half a century was engaged in
stock raising in Choteau and Cas-
cade counties. Despite his 80
years he was in appearance and
action a man of so, and enjoyed
excellent health until taken i'll with
pneuomnia a short time prior to
his death.
Adkin w. Kingsbury was born on
his fathers farm in Howard county,
Mo-, October 20, 1912. He was the
sixth of eight children and during
his boyhood days he attended school
in the winter months and worked
in the summer on the home farm.
On May 9, 1854, in company with
his brother, Lilburn, he left home
with an OK team, travelling overland
to Omaha where they joined a west
bound overland train consisting of
20 wagons some, of which were
bound for Montana, others to Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
At Fort Laramie their wagon train
was detained by the United States
troops that were there stationed, due
to Indian uprisings. After a short
wait, and when the war parties had
quoted down, they we're allowed to
proceed, reaching Beaverhead and
Jefferson City late in the fall of
1864-65, where they spent the winter.
In the spring Mr.. Kingsbury's
brother took up a ranch at the fork
of the Prickly Pear and Ten Mile
creek, and here they engaged in
farming. Expenses we're very high,
as can be judged from the fact that
they paid as high as SIS for an
ounce of onion seed. This venture
did not prove a success, and the
brother returned to his home in
Missouri.
Mr.. K%ingsbury left for Helena,
where he opened a livery stable, this
proving a more profitable enterprise.
He followed this line of business IN
til 1871 when he engaged in pros
pecting and placer mining in Over
land gulch for a short time. after
which he entered the sheep growing
business.
He became associated with Daven-
port and Ray, and this firm pur-
chased a band of 1900 sheep which
had been brought to Deer Lodge
from Oregon by William Hardness.

porary room to the overloaded stom-

accumulation.
There is no man or woman who can
read these terrible facts without ask
ing himself or herself, What am 1
doing to protect myself"
What answer can you give to the
question? You have seen that physics
only a~ggravate the trouble. What
then? Can you afford to let yourself
slip knowingly into the conditions so
graphically described by Doctor
Turner?

first question that he asks? "How are
your bowels?" He asks it so regularly
that you have come to look upon it
almost as a Formally to be expected.
However, it is not a formality but a
tremendously serious question which
harsh experience has taught him to
always ask because in nine cases out
of ten where sickness is present it
is due to constipation, the state of
bowel inactivity which is sooner or
later directly responsible for nearly
all the diseases that afflict the hui
man flesh.
