ed where the Crows found obsidian.
Lone Walker replied they came
from the head OF the Yellowstone
river, where there we're springs of
boiling water shooting high in the
air, and near one of these springs
was a whole butte Of the "ice rock"
and there his people went to get
it. "But it is a dreadful place!"
he concluded. 1--WE approach it
with great fear in our hearts and
make great sacrifices to the gods
to protect US. And as soon as we
arrive at the ice rock butte we
snatch up what we need and hur-
ny away"
Fording the Missouri, the tribe
camped on the site of the present
city of Great Falls, and hunted buff
falo, which we're then plentiful
there. Their next hunting ground
was at the highwoods, where deer
and elk abounded. Continuing
southeastward, they came to Ar
row river. Here Red Crow and
captured some wal suits and
eagle tail feather bonnets and a
couple of Spanish bits. Hugh was
admiring the latter one evening
when Lone Walker took down a
roll of buckskin, and unwrapping
it, revealed a shirt of mail and ra-
pier with the blade inscribed

He then told Hugh the shirt of

Western ranges continued to de-
cline during August, due to a con-
tinued lack of moisture, according
to the c report of the division
Of crop and livestock estimates, of
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Higher ranges continued very good,
but the lower ranges were very dry,
with prospects of short feed for fall
and winter grazing in several states.
The grass was generally we'll cured
and fairly heavy, following favorable
moisture conditions earlier in the
year.
Ranges were generally good in
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico and the western part of the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. In
Washington, oregon, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah and California, no rains came
to relieve the long continued drought
while the lack of moisture in Arizona
and Texas has begun to seriously af-
feet the range. The condition of the
ranges is rs per cent of normal, COM
pared with 70 per cent last month
and 81 per cent a year ago.
Sheep and cattle showed a little de-
cline in condition, following dry con-
ditions on the ranges, but so far the
decline has not been as rapid as that
OF the ranges, due to grazing on high
er ranges and more favored spots.
However, it is evident that, with con-
tinued dry weather, a further decline
may be expected. Cattle and sheep
have done well, due to the we'll cured
feed, except west of the continental
where the feed became short
and dry early in the season.
The condition of range cattle is Sc
per cent as compared with SO per cent
August 1, and 81 per cent year
ago. Sheep show a condition of "a
per cent, 8 points below a month ago
and II points below September, 1928.

Mother Bear Defends Her Cubs.

William Hagarty of the Lake creek
district not far from Troy, had a bit
of experience recently with an old
mother bear. He was returning to
his ranch home from work and sud-
denly he emerged upon two cub
bears playing in the woods. Almost
Immediately he was attacked by the
mother bear, who was near the cubs,
but, being on a horse, he was able to
get away before being Injured. The
bear chased him for quite a distance
but his horse outrun her. Quite a
number of bears have been seen in
the Lake creek district this year..

won the trade of the Crows; and,
best of all, could assure the Factor
that the American Fur company
were not invading the Blackfeet
territory.
The boys reward was the com
mendation of the Factor. "You

and the first they saw belonged to
the Crows. After they had over
come their fear of these strange
animals, they captured or stole
them from the Crows, and later
went to Mexico for them. Lone
Walker said they had no horses
until 1880 or 100. Before that
time the dogs were used as beasts
of burden, and the Blackfeet hunt
ed and fought on foot. Their name
for the horse was po-no-ka-mi-ta,
eek Dog) because of its size.
While on Arrow river, Hugh
was shown what Lone Walker
called white Mans Leavings,' at
the head of a long coulee a long
distance from their camp. 1t was
a pile of rocks, and on top Of it had
once been "a white metal figure Of
a man against black, crossed sticks,
his arms o%utstretched ;" and facing
the Belt mountains.
Lone Walker recounted how six
ty or seventy years earlier white
men had come to the Mandans in
the winter time. "They rode
horses; wore iron shirts; carried
guns with big flaring muzzles, and
long knives" They went west, re-
turned and then journeyed north,
from whence they came. Hugh
decided that this must have been
the party of the Sieur de la YER
endrie, and the Belt mountains the
Shining Mountains"
Shortly after leaving Arrow ri
yer, the Blackfeet were attacked by
the Crows. 1t was a fierce engage
ment in which many we're Killed,
including women and children.
Following this, Hugh suggested to
Lone Walker hat they make peace
with the Crows, and pursuade
them to trade at Bow Fort. Lone
Walker and the other chiefs fin
ally agreed to this, plan, but re-
luctantly, and with misgivings.
Their former dealings with the

MO MORE remarkable story
VI of the West has been told
than that of Hugh Munroe
the White Blackfoot, or Rising
Wolf, for whom a rocky height II
Glacier park is named.
Born in the year of 1913 in the
province of Quebec; his father a
captain in the British army; his
mother of a noble and wealthy
French family; he was destined to
spend eighty-two of the ninety
eight years of his life on the from
tier. On his visits to Montreal he
often went with his grandfather de
la Roche, to the warehouses of the
Hudson Bay company. There he
saw trappers, voyageurs and In
dians, and heard many tales Of
their adventures. He longed to
know more of their life, and begged
his parents to let him go West.
At length, worn out by his i'm
Fortunes, they gave their consent,
and he entered the Hudson Bay
service as an apprentice for five
years. He was assigned to a remote
post, Fort Bow, at the foot of the
Rockies, on the Saskatchewan,
leaving for that place before he
had completed his sixteenth year.
The journey was made for the most
part by water, the five boats of his
party being carried from lake to
lake or river, it being a year or
two before he reached his post.
There he saw a vast number of
Indians collected, to trade when the
boats came in. They were Black
Gros Ventures and Sak-sis.
They were superior in every way
any Indians Hugh had seen in
he East. He felt a strong desire
become acquainted with them.

the horses-those belonging to
the medicine men-were bloched
with red ochre, which was their
sacred color. When the tribe was
in motion, it formed a procession
nearly three miles in length, and
must have presented a picturesque
appearance.
At noon they stopped to rest, and
the medicine men made all prepare
tons for a smoke. The pipe was
cleaned and filled, and then he took
from his shoulder a piece of birch
about six inches in length, and four
in diameter. Removing the stopper
from one end, Hugh saw the tube
was lined with clay, and held a
piece of punk, with which the me-
dicine man tried vainly to light
the pipe. Seeing that his efforts
were unsuccessful, Hugh remem-
bered the sun glass his grandfath-
err gave him before he left Mon
treal. Taking it out he showed the
man how to use it. The
pipe was lit, but caused an excite
