was trading with Crows across the
Yellowstone, and who could pre-
dict when he might make friends
with the Blackfeet, and other
tribes north of the river?
The Americans already were in
formed of countless beaver streams
in that region, and Of the vast
herds of buffalo to be found there,
but they had been reluctant to en-
ter it until they knew better how
they would be received by the In
dian tribes claiming it. These diff
ferent tribes were always spoken of
as B1ackfeet; and these Lewis and
Clarke had given a bad name. I'm
fortunately, they killed one, a
eros Ventre of the Prairie, to be
sure, yet classed with the Black
feet. An Indians memory is long
for an injury received by himself
or his tribe. Were they still med
itating revenge? They yer as the
whites would learn later; but these
were not the Blackfeet.
After the establishment of Fort
Union at the mouth of the Yellow
stone, Kenneth Mckenzie decided
the time had come to try the temper
of the northern tribes, and dis
patched James Berger, a former
employee of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, with a small company of
four men to spy out the land. This
was in 1880.
The party went with dog sleds
up the Missouri to the mouth of
the Marias river, up the Marias to
Badger creek, and to the source
of the latter stream. On their way
they saw no Indians. When they
reached the head of Badger creek,
they did not know in which direc-
ton they should go from there, as
they we're unfamiliar with the
country. Tired and discouraged,
they went to sleep that night, hav-
ing taken the precaution, as was
their custom, to have an American
flag unfurled over their camp.

RESERVATION PHYSICIAN
OPERATIONS
FOR TRACH0MAATHAVRE

Four Indians, two from the
Rocky Boy reservation and two liv-
ing in the city of Havre, were oper-
ated on at that city recently for
trachoma by a clinic of Havre doc
tors and DR.. N. A. Fahey of Brown
ing. This is the first time this OPP
GRAFTON for blindness has been per-
formed in northern Montana, ex-
cept at the Blackfeet reservation.
Trachoma is an Infectious disease
of the Eye, which will result in per-
manent blindness if not taken care
of promptly, doctors claim. One OF
the patients operated on at this re-
cent clinic was almost totally blind,
and quite unable to read.
The method used in these opera
lions was perfected by DR.. Fox OF
Philadelphia, who came to Montana
last May to teach his new treatment
to DR.. Fahey, who is the govern
ment doctor on the reservation.
Since that time DR.. Fahey has
operated on 1875 Indian patients, and
with a very high degree of success.
The doctors Of Havre will learn the
treatment in order that they be
thus equipped to treat the cases
which, from time to time, arise in
the nearby Indian tribes.

sence to any passing enemy. We
must receive them as friends" AnC
as friends they approached the
camp.
Berger knew a little of the Ian
guage of the Blackfeet, and it was
chiefly for this reason that he hac
been chosen for his present service
He told the Indians how long he
had looked for them, and of his
Encouragement at not finding
them. Would they let him ane
his men 60 with them to their vii
lage? The Indians consenting tc
his request he accompanied them
to their encampment on the Sur
river, where he spent the winter.
Before spring came, Berger had
won the confidence of the Indians
to the extent that about a hundred
of them agreed to go with him to
Fort Union. Arriving there, they
were feasted; given presents and
the way paved for negotiating
with them. In such business Nc
Kenzie was an adept, and he soon
pursuaded them it would be of
great advantage for them to have
a trading post in their own coun-
try, rather than be forced to travel
the long distance to the Hudson
Bay post.
This conference led to the build
ing of Fort Piegan on the west
bank of the Marias at its entrance
into the Missouri, and SO close to
the river that part, if not all of its
site has been washed away. The
construction of this post was in
charge of James Kipp, who went
up the Missouri in a keel boat car
rying IS men, tools needed for
the work; and goods for the In
dian trade.
That first year a large amount
of beaver skins were purchased,
the Indians then not killing more
buffalo than they needed for their
own use. 1t was an extremely
cold winter, and when spring came
and the river opened, most of the
employees refused to re-engage.
Not enough remained to carry on
business. Leaving a few squaw
men to convince the Indians the
post was not deserted Kipp and his
former employees returned to Fort
Union, taking with them the furs
he had bought.
Mckenzie found trade in the up
per country too good to be given
up, however severe the climate
be. This time he sent David
B. Mitchell, with sixty men, and a
large cargo of trading goods by
keel boat up the river. All went

STATE NORMAL TO
HAVE CRACK GRID
SQUAD THIS YEAR
From Montana State College

"HE Montana State Normal Col
lege, at Dillon, will go more de-
= finitely into the field of college
athletics this winter, with present
plans including teams in all of the
major college sports. Bruce Hollis
ter, a three-letter man at Montana
State College in the class of 1928,
is chosen this fall as a member of
the Normal college faculty and will
coach the athletic teams. Mr.. Hol-
lister taught in the high school at
Glendive last winter
Coach Hollister has enrolled a num-
Der of promising athletes for this
winter. He expects to build what
will be the first football team in
years at the Normal college and has
already planned for a strong basket
ball squad this winter. HOLSTER
was a great football end on the State
College Bobcat squad of 1921 and
1922 and was rated one of the fast
est guards ever seen in the state in
basketball. For two-years he was
all-state basketball guard. In ad-
dition he plays baseball and has done
some track work.
The addition to the State Normal
college, to the list or INSTITUTIONS nav
ing plans for strong athletic teams
means a great increase in state
sports in the future. In past years
the organized college teams have
been forced to go out of the state for
much of their competition. At pres
ent there are six strong college ath-
letic departments in Montana, in
Guiding the Dillon school, and these
should form a state sports cOmpeti-
ton each year of statewide inter-
est.
Besides being a famous athlete,
Coach HOLSTER was one of the lead
ing students at Montana State Coll
eye. He was president of his sopho-
more class, a member of the Fangs,
of the honorary Les Bouffons, and
was frosh advisor. In his senior year
he was m of W college men

small islands where across the
stream bold bluffs arise from the
waters edge" built a fort, which in
honor of his chief, he named Fort
Mckenzie
The fort was nearly 200 feet
square. 1t was built of logs
it faced the river; and had two
bastions, one on front side, upper
end, other at opposite angle; up
per story of each bastion projected
about two feet beyond lower. The
lower side and part of the back
wall we're framed with heavy
beams, at intervals, the remainder
of the palisade set strongly on the
EARTH
The next spring Mitchell car
ried down to Fort Union the beav-
er skins the years trade had
brought in. On the return trip
Price Macmillan of Wied, a nat
uralist of worldwide fame accom-
panied him. The prince was at
Fort Mckenzie but a short time,
when finding it would be danger
GUS for him to leave the fort for
any extended trip, went back to
Fort Union; spending the winter at
the Mandan village further down
the river. While there he fell i'll
with scurvy, of which he cured
himself by eating wild onions, or
garlic.
The fur trade at Fort Mckenzie
was good that year, Mitchell TAX
ing with him to the lower post two
thousand pounds of beaver, and
two hundred packs of buffalo
robes. He left Major Culbertson
in charge of the fort with 20 men.
A short time after he left, three
Blood Indians, and a squaw, came
to the fort and told Culbertson that
they were going to steal horses
from the Crows. Culbertson tried
vainly to dissuade them. They had
not gone far from the fort when
they sat down on Cracon du Nez
to rest and smoke. Suddenly thirty
mounted Crows charged upon
them, killing two of the warriors,
and wounding the third.
The wounded man watching his
endorsed one of the Crows
with n blow of his gun, sprang
upon the horse and siezing a lance,
raced for the fort. 1t happened
that the horse he captured was the
best horse of the enemy, and he
reached the fort in safety, but leav-
ing the squaw, his sister, to be car
ried away captive by the Crows.

as Major Culbertson was sitting in
front of the fort at sunset, he

thought he say someone in the
bushes on the opposite side of the
river. Being curious to find out if
he had been deceived, he crossed
the river in a boat, and found the
squaw who had SO recently been
captured.
The Crows, fearing she would
attempt to escape, watched her
carefully by day, and at night she
slept with an old woman who
awakened if she made the slight
est movement. To make more sure
of her they took away all of her
clothing. Notwithstanding all of
these precautions, m dark night
she managed to escape. For five
days she travelled without food,
and with nothing to clothe her
nakedness but some clumps Of sage
brush she managed to fasten about

well until they reached the mouth
OF the Milk river. There they
tied up for the night, part of the
company sleeping on the shore and
part on the boat. Then a storm
arose. The rain fell in sheets, and
a fierce gale-almost a hurricane
set In from the north, blowing
down the river. 1t swept the furled
sail from its fastenings, and the
boat from its mornings. Down
the river it raced about four miles,
when it struck a snag and went
down. The cargo was lost and two
men were drowned; one of these
being an Indian returning from a
visit to Fort Union.
Mitchell at once acquainted Nc
Kenzie with the news of the dis
aster, and another boat was sent
him containing the necessary sup
plies. Meanwhile, not far below
Milk river, he built a barricade
which would protect them from
possible forays by the Indians,
until the boat arrived. Then he
assembled the river about four miles
above the junction with the Mar

to the landowner FREE OF COST OF PRODUCTION.
Not one cent does the landowner have to spend to get
his share of the oil. Because the landowner gets his
share of the oil without having to spend money to drill,
bis share is said by the Standard companies to be equiv
alent to FORTY-SEvEN PER CENT OF THE NET.
That is, the landowners profits arc nearly as great as
those of the operator who spends the thousands and
hundreds of thousands to get the oil.
q The landowners share is called
OIL. He gets 12H per cent of ALL the oil ever produced
on his land, be it produced this year or 100 years from
now. His right Is perpetual. Likewise, he is able to esn
any part or all Of his royalty, as he chooses. Were IN

step into the shoes of the landowner. The landowner
would own the land, but he would not be entitled to any

structure.
