Dermott was on board with few
deputies. He told the army that
the train was in charge of the I'm
tied States government and must
not be interfered with. The army
reluctantly abandoned the idea OF
taking the train. McDermott
swore in So deputies to guard the
Northern Pacific property. By
this time the army numbered nearly
500 men.
On Monday, the twenty-third,
the excitement in Butte was in
tense. The militia was ordered out
and 100 deputies were on hand. A
big express wagon went to the mar
kets and groceries soliciting pro-
visions, the army supplies being
nearly exhausted. A telegram
from the Northern Pacific receivers
notified the city council of Butte
that the city would be held respon-
sible for any damage to the rail-
road property. The business men
offered the Northern Pacific $3.50
per car to take the army east.
In the evening a meeting of the
citizens was held in the council
chambers to consider the situation.

Ger similar conditions which ex
listed in Montana during the early
Indian days when the white mer
could buy all the liquor they de
sired, lawfully, while the Indian

violation of the laws of the whites
There were plenty of traders in
those days who made it business
of trading in whiskey with the In
dians and who seemed to be of the
opinion that their occupation was
a respectable one as long as they
could keep out Of the tolls of the
law.
To a certain extent the federal
authorities, of whom there were a
very few in the territory, endeav-
ored to enforce the laws against
the sale of liquor to the Indians,
but their efforts were futile and
much of the troubles among the In
dams were the results of the whis-
key traffic.
Some idea of the extent of the

The resolution was signed by L
lR. Kinds, c. S. Warren and Pat
Trick Meaney, committee.
AT two O'Clock the next morning
the army went to the Northern
Pacific roundhouse, seized an en-
CINE and made up a train of empty
box cars. No one was around to
interfere. The start was made be-
fore daylight. AT Bozeman, the
train was stopped long enough to
allow William Cunningham to
make speech, and for General Ho-
gan to appropriate nine more box
cars. The people of Bozeman had
mare than two tons of provisions
waiting, which were duly loaded
onto the train. There was a cave
in at the tunnel east of Bozeman,
but the army went to work with
will and soon had the track cleared.
At Livingston speeches of well
come and sympathy were made by
a few citizens and about SIS worth
of provisions were contributed.
The train then went on at furi-
Gus pace.
Judge Knowles and United

A solitaire player intent upon
his cards, continued with his game
one evening recently in a Butte
rooming house, while in an adjoin-
ing room, several feet away, a
masked bandit was holding up pa
irons of the house.
The bandit entered quietly
and ordered the patrons of the no.
tel, who had instinctively thrown
up their hands, to lower them to
their sides. He then lined the men
against the wall, commanded the
proprietor to hand over the money
in the till, and escaped. The pa
irons were not robbed.

been stripped of his uniform, scalped
and one of his little fingers removed
On this finger, Captain Logan wore
two rings, one mounted with various
Masonic emblems, the other a seal
ring which had been in the family for
many generations. The seal was the
family crest, of the house of Bruce of
Scotland, engraved and enameled on
violet colored stone. 1t was a gift
from his father when he started on
his journey to America. Years later
the rings were recovered from the
Indians who attached no particular
significance to their value. The fam
lily now has them in it's possession.
First Commander.
The first commanding officer of
the post was Captain George S. Hol-
lister of the Seventh United States
infantry and the establishment was
last garrisoned by troops of the
Eighteenth infantry under command
of Maj. Henry L. Chapman. During
its existence the post was commanded
at various times by young company
and battalion officers who afterward
gained much prominence in military
activities.
1t is believed that the first white
man to set foot on the site of Fort
Logan was Capain John Mullan,
when lieutenant in charge of an en-
cheering party under Governor
Stevens, surveying route for rail-
way from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean. This survey was made
during the administration of Frank
lin Pierce, fourteenth president of the
United States, and under the direct
orders of Jefferson Davis, then sec
rotary of war, later president of the
Mullan and his party
camped at or near the present site
Of the Fort on Sept. 20, 1853.
This, one of the memorable occas-
ions TO 1924 was witnessed by many
Montanans, present from every Sec
ion of the state.

Posts During Montana's Indian

The ceremony took place Sunday
August II. A handsome bronze tab
let, made from Montana copper, was
placed in its proper setting amid ap.
propriate and fitting ceremonies
was presented most interesting pro
gram, participated in by prominent
speakers, among whom were: Gov
ernor Dixon, Ex-Governor Stewart
Congressman Scott Leavitt, Sidney
M. Logan of Kalispell and Mrs
Verne d. Caldwell of Billings, state
regent of the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution. The principal adj
dress was that of Mr.. Logan who is a
son of the man in whose honor the
fort was named.
Special invitations we're sent to
Frank Day of Lewistown, who was a
blacksmith at the fort in 1880; to
Robert N. Sutherlin of Great Falls,
who founded the first newspaper in
Diamond City, in 1875 and still fol-
lows that profession at Great Falls;
also to Charles w. Cook, of White
Sulphur Springs one of the early set
tiers in the days when the original
Camp Baker, later Fort Logan, was
first established. The wonders of
the Yellowstone park were first
brought to the people of Montana by
Mr.. Cook and David E. Folsom. The
Folsum-Cook exploration of the Up
per Yellowstone was made in 1869.
In November, 1869.
The history of Fort Logan is prob
ably more or less familiar to the older
residents of the state, and for those of
the present generation it should
awaken keen interest. Camp Baker,
as it originally was called was estab-
llshed in November, 1859, upon the
recommendation of Maj Gen. Win
field Scott Hancock, in command of
the department of the Dakota at the
time. It's primary establishment was
for the protection of the mines at
Diamond City and neighboring min
ing camps. 1t was maintained until
1880, at which time it was the head
quarters of two companies of United
States infantry. 1t was abandoned
by order of the war department on
October 26, 1900. The name was
changed in 1878 to Fort Logan in
honor of Captain William Logan,
who was killed on Aug. 9,,1877, by |
the Nez Perces Indians under Chief
Joseph at the Battle of the Big Hole.
This intrepid Indian fighter and hero
of many wars was shot during the ex-
element of the battle by revengeful
squaw. When his body had been re-
covered it was found that he had

SUPPLY in
MONTANA'S CITIES
EQUAL TO DEMAND
RECORD SHOWS FAIR CONDITION
WITH MANY OBTAINING WORK
IN THE HARVEST FIELDS
Lumber Industry West of the Divide
Alone Shows Material Slackening;
Building Activities are Consider
ably Weaker than in 1923.

The supply of labor to meet
practically all requirements has
been sufficient in Montana, due
principally to an unusual number
of transient workers from the Paci-
fic coast states, according to an in
dustI,ial employment survey for
July, made by the United States
employment service of the United
States department of labor.
The report on general conditions
contains the information that ex-
perienced farm hands are in fair de-
mand and that metal mining, par
ticularly gold, is very active. A mill
at Landusky, idle for the last seven
years, recently resumed operations
and is now grinding out gold ore at
rapid rate.
Several hundred workers from the
logging camps and saw mills have
been temporarily released during the
last so days, but most of these men
will have immediate opportunities for
employment during the harvest sea-
son which is now on. Building is
not so extensive as last season, but
considerable construction of general
nature is under way. Three indus
trial buildings are contemplated at
Kelvin.
Sufficient railroad labor is avail
able for all present requirements the
report said.
The extensive highway program
continues to afford steady employ
ment to hundreds of workers.
Reports on conditions in several
Montana cities are given as follows:
Billings-There is surplus of
transient labor here; many, however,
now having an opportunity for en-
ployment in harvest work near by.
Railroad labor continues to be quite
we'll employed Overhauling of the
sugar factory is under way and is
employment to many me-
chanics. With the exception of a
packing establishment, all industrial
plants continue normal activities.
Butte-Resident labor is well en-
ployed, except in metal mining, due
to few of the smaller copper mines
being temporarily closed. A $780,
900 Elks' temple and a gymnasium
structure at the school of mines will
soon be under construction, with To-
cal building labor for this work equal
to the demand.
Helena-The employment situation
is satisfactory, there being no unem-
ployment of consequence apparent.
No shortages exist at this time in
any line, and present indications are
that this condition will obtain
throughout the summer season, ex-
cept that some outside farm labor is
needed for harvest work. Extern
;ive repairs are being made on the
street railway system, affording en-
oloyment to any common labor sur
plus that appears. Resident build
ing tradesmen are well employed.
Industrial plants are operating
including the large
and refining plant at East
Helena.
MISUNDERSTANDING, the main
inthis city and vicinity,
hows further slackening in opera
ions. The logging camps which
operations to some extent
Turing June, temporarily released
10 workers during July. The large
rogram of highway construction in
utlying districts, and harvesting,
will provide temporary employment
or many of the released lumbermen.
